1. The 2018 Syracuse game

Obviously, the No. 1 moment that Brice will be remembered for is his performance in the 2018 Syracuse game when Lawrence was knocked out in the first half.

Brice came into the game trailing the Orange and it was clear that the Tigers were on the ropes as the game unfolded. That didn’t bother him, though.

He grew up over the course of that game and played a phenomenal fourth quarter, ultimately leading Clemson on a game-winning drive. He completed a beautiful pass to Tee Higgins along the sidelines on a 4th down that could’ve ended Clemson’s chances had the Tigers not converted late in the game.

With the win, Clemson kept its CFB Playoff hopes alive and eventually beat Alabama 44-16 in the National Championship game that season.

Without Brice’s performance, Clemson football may not have even ended up in the CFB Playoff, much less competed for a National Championship.
