Clemson's Offensive Line Turned Da'Ron Payne Into A Blocking Sled
For an interior defensive lineman, short fourth downs and goal-line stands seem like the most exciting situations a football game can offer the position—their shot to get low, blow through an aggressive wall of meat, and make the play in the backfield.
