CLEMSON – When the starters are announced before every home game in Memorial Stadium, certain names prompt mini-eruptions from fans entering Death Valley’s hallowed walls– whispers of “good luck” to fan favorites that have earned the well-wishes by years of success.
Before nearly every home game in the past four seasons, wide receiver Antonio Williams has been one of those names. When his face and name flash on the east end zone jumbotron, fans pause mid-pretzel bite, lower their phones, and join to cheer on the seasoned veteran.
Williams got that ovation one last time Saturday ahead of Clemson’s 45-10 win over Furman, along with a chance to run down the hill one last time.
