to show this team some grace. Please stick with them. They need your support.
This Saturday's game will be their 12th since September. Illness and injuries have impacted our team, with Breese, Ngata, Ross, DJ, Shipley, et al... and some coaches not being at full strength.
Despite that, this team kept playing hard. They went toe to toe with the current number one team in the nation and lost to two teams that are currently in the top 25. I think soon, we will be, too.
Please don’t take this post as me making an excuse for these three losses. We lost because we didn’t play well enough to win. Coach Swinney will tell you the same thing. So will our players.
But please, don’t bail on this team. They are exciting to watch. They play their tails off. They love Clemson. They do things the right way on and off the field. And they have a ton of potential.
