Clemson linebacker Barrett Carter grew up in Georgia and around plenty of Bulldog fans. As a matter of fact, he’s heard “Hail to Georgia” and “Glory, Glory” so much, it brought back bad memories when the coaching staff blared the songs through the loudspeakers at practice earlier this week.
“Definitely a little bit of PTSD,” Carter told the media with a chuckle. “No, it was good. I think it’s going to be good for us just to get the idea in our heads, just because that is something they do over there. But it shouldn’t have an effect on how we play.”
Carter, who hails from Suwanee, Georgia, admits that the friendly dialogue between the two sides has stayed at a minimum.
“It’s been pretty chill from both sides,” Carter said. “I know a lot of guys on that team. Not much banter, not much trash talk. We’re both just trying to handle business on our ends, and the best man will come out on top on the 31st.”
So, Carter is hoping that he and the Tigers will speak softly and carry their third straight SEC victory out of Atlanta next weekend.
