If you hadn’t heard of [autotag]Benjamin Morrison[/autotag] before Notre Dame’s game against Clemson, you definitely have now. The Irish’s freshman cornerback has seen a lot of playing time, but he hadn’t done anything that would cause people to turn heads. That all changed in the second half against the Tigers. With the Irish defending a 14-0 lead, Morrison picked off backup quarterback Cade Klubnik deep in Tigers territory:
INTERCEPTION! 🍀

That set up a 7-yard touchdown from [autotag]Audric Estime[/autotag]. The Tigers’ offense then retook the field with DJ Uiagalelei back under center, and he led his unit all the way to the red zone. That’s where Morrison was waiting to pick it off again, and he did, and he ran 96 yards for a touchdown he surely will remember for the rest of his life:

Opponents better look out for Morrison because with this being his first collegiate season, he only stands to get better. Irish fans will love him for it, and these tweets should indicate such:
