A Clemson play has advanced to the second round of the NCAA Football Pontiac Game Changing Performance of the Year contest. Visit www.pontiac.com/ncaa to vote for Gaines Adams’ caused fumble, recovery, and 66-yard return for a touchdown against Wake Forest and help the Tigers earn an additional $100,000 general scholarship award from Pontiac.

Down 14 points in the fourth quarter, Clemson pulled out an amazing comeback 27-17 win over undefeated Wake Forest. Clemson defensive lineman Gaines Adams caused a fumble after a mishandled snap on a field-goal attempt recovered the ball and returned it 66 yards for the score on the first play of the fourth quarter… a true game-changing performance that ignited the rally, swinging momentum back to the Tigers.
