Clemson’s Wayne Gallman to be ready for Florida State, Dabo Swinney expects image

No. 4 Clemson should be at full strength offensively when it takes on No. 13 Florida State next week.

Tigers coach Dabo Swinney said Wednesday that running back Wayne Gallman, who suffered a concussion in an overtime win over N.C. State last Saturday, should be back in time to run against the Seminoles.

"He's our leader at that position, and we really like our other players, but we don't have a lot of experience there,” Swinney said of Gallman (via TigerNet.com). “Here's a guy who's played in a lot of big games and has been our workhorse so it (was) definitely a loss for us."

Gillman, a senior, leads the team with 90 carries for 489 yards and five touchdowns. He is being held out of practice during the bye week as part of the program’s concussion protocol.
