Clemson's Mike Williams is one of the more dynamic receivers on the Tigers roster, but the team will likely be without the pass-catcher for at least the afternoon.
On the team's first drive, Williams caught a touchdown pass coming across the back of the end zone, but was pushed from behind and hit the goal post.
He was boarded and carted off the field, likely as a precaution.
Looks like they are spineboarding Clemson's MIke Williams.

Such a scary scene at Clemson. Mike Williams hit the goal post going for a TD. Stretcher out for him. 1k yard receiver last year.

After recording 316 yards through the air in his first year, Williams had 1,030 yards on 57 receptions last year.
