It’s now officially official.
In discussing what he described as a “dirty” hit that knocked him out of the North Carolina State game Oct. 15 with a concussion, Wayne Gallman indicated Monday that he would be available and play in Clemson’s huge showdown with Florida State this Saturday. A day later, the running back’s head coach very emphatically confirmed the back’s availability Saturday coming of the football program’s by weekend.
“He’s going to play great,” Dabo Swinney said. “He practiced the whole practice and didn’t miss a rep. He’ll play great on Saturday.”
Gallman currently leads the Tigers in rushing yards (489) and rushing touchdowns (five). Because of the concussion, Gallman was limited to a season-low 14 yards on two carries.
In last year’s 23-13 win over the Seminoles that clinched the Tigers a berth in the ACC title game, Gallman rushed for 103 yards and a touchdown. His 25-yard touchdown run with 2:34 remaining iced the win.
