The end of the college football season has arrived for many, which means this past weekend featured rivalries clashing all over the country yesterday. Many, such as Ohio State vs. Michigan and Oklahoma vs. Oklahoma State, ended as anti-climatic snoozers. Others, such as Alabama vs. Auburn, provided instant classic status.
For Miami Dolphins 2019 1st-round pick Christian Wilkins, rivalry week against South Carolina was just another day. The Tigers rolled South Carolina with ease, but the matchup did afford Wilkins the chance to test his rivalry in a new way — by facing off with Dolphins teammate and former South Carolina Gamecock Chris Lammons in a game of NCAA Football.
The matchup, conducted by the Dolphins’ organization, highlights Wilkins’ strong personality — something that made it easy to be convinced that he was the kind of presence this team needed in the locker room in order to thrive under Brian Flores.
Wilkins’ Tigers indeed put a whooping on South Carolina, both in the Wilkins/Lammons showdown and for the real thing. And based on how much Wilkins let Lammons hear it during this showdown of Dolphins defenders on the sticks, we’d be willing to bet Lammons had something orange and purple waiting for him in his locker this morning as the Dolphins gear up to take on the Philadelphia Eagles.
