Accused Clemson Student Files Another Lawsuit

For Benish, the game means being just as much a fan, but also having played and won a national championship game - Jan. 1, 1982, when Benish and his teammates beat Nebraska. Yet Benish is not a football fan who claims his team will win if he doesn’t believe it. And he’s experienced the game up close, at ...
