Clemson running back Wayne Gallman left Saturday’s game vs. North Carolina State after he suffered a scary hit to the left side of his head.

Gallman cut back to the middle of the field after catching a pass in the flat from quarterback Deshaun Watson. As Gallman dove forward, he was hit in the facemask by the crown of an NC State defender’s helmet.
