Jermaine Johnson vs. Clemson

Sighs, what could have been, but we’ll have to settle for what if’s from the 2021 Clemson game.

Jermaine Johnson played out of his mind and made one of the most memorable plays in recent history with a strip-sack fumble recovery for a touchdown to give the Noles the lead with 7:39 remaining.

The only problem is the Noles couldn’t hold the lead, so instead of becoming a legendary play, it’ll go down as just a nice play by the ACC Defensive Player of the Year.

Johnson finished the game with four tackles, one sack, and two tackles for a loss. However, that sack and touchdown was something that silenced the Death Valley crowd and gave them some real doubt as to if they could win that game as 10-point betting favorites.
