Albert Huggins ready to step up in wake of Dexter Lawrence’s absence (Video)

Clemson star defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence has been suspended for the College Football Playoff semifinal against Notre Dame, which forces Albert Huggins to step up in a big way.

Huggins will be tasked with helping plug the interior of the defensive line, in an attempt to slow down the Fighting Irish’s stout rushing attack.

The senior has been presented a huge opportunity, and he’s not shying away from it — in fact, quite the opposite. Huggins called the chance a “blessing,” and he’s remaining confident in his abilities, which he revealed in an exclusive interview with TSD’s Kendrick E. Johnson.
