Spent some time with Tee Higgins earlier this season. Quiet, thoughtful kid who had a phenomenal year (and should have been a Biletnikoff finalist). Crushed that he won’t get to play in this game.

You wonder how much not having Tee Higgins out there is affecting Clemson. Yes, they've got other stars, but the guy averages 20 yards a catch.
