MY CLEMSON MEMORY -- Emanuel Cook
posted by David Cloninger, 11/18/2008 06:26:00 PM
Each player was asked about the moment that stood out the most to him from his history against Clemson. Their responses:
Day 3
Junior free safety Emanuel Cook (from the 2006 game -- USC 31, Clemson 28; and the 2007 game – Clemson 23, USC 21)
“First two times … first time I played Clemson, I caused a fumble in the game. I was really excited. I was a freshman. That made me real happy. The next game … probably like to forget that one.
“(The fumble) was a tight end, I don’t remember his name. (It was Clemson’s Thomas Hunter, with USC’s Jordin Lindsey recovering.)
Emanuel Cook vs. Clemson
Two games. 2006 – four tackles, forced fumble. 2007 – nine tackles (one for loss), forced fumble, interception (34-yard return), 7-yard sack.
