DALLAS, TX - We just got the official word from Dan Radakovich that Dex, Galloway and Giella will not play Saturday. Needless to say, it's a lucky break for the Irish. Not only do the Tigers lose a huge run stuffer and block eater, but they will be deprived of their successful Fridge Package on offense.
It could be an opportunity for Albert Huggins to shine and make his mark, though. Nyles Pinckney also figures to see more snaps as a result, and perhaps Jordan Williams. It's next man up for the Tigers!
STATEMENT FROM CLEMSON ATHLETIC DIRECTOR DAN RADAKOVICH:
“This evening, Clemson Athletics received confirmation from the NCAA of suspensions for tight end Braden Galloway, offensive lineman Zach Giella and defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence, all three of whom will be unavailable for Saturday’s game against Notre Dame. The athletic department will have no further comment on the matter this evening as it considers all of our options, including appeals.”
