Clemson media looks at GT

Imagine my surprise when I picked up the Greenville News over the weekend and found this article profiling GT.

Clemson University doesn't foresee Georgia Tech quarterback Reggie Ball providing verbal inspiration this time.
Before facing Clemson last season, Ball said the Yellow Jackets weren't going to lose another game the rest of the year.

By the time it reached 10 p.m. in Atlanta that Saturday, Clemson sacked the confident Ball five times and racked up 436 yards en route to a 39-3 Atlantic Coast Conference win.

It was Clemson's largest margin of victory against Georgia Tech in 100 years and a performance inspired by the freshman quarterback's bold words.

"I remember they had him on the news, and he was saying since they played Florida State close they weren't going to lose another game," Clemson senior linebacker Leroy Hill said. "It's a new season and I doubt he says that same stuff again."
They do go on to say nice things about how his game will mature and he will make better decisions.
