CLEMSON – Brent Venables doesn’t worry when games are labeled as “big.” He’s been in plenty of them and so have his players.
No. 3 Clemson takes on No. 16 NC State this weekend in Death Valley in a battle of undefeated teams. On the line is supremacy in the ACC’s Atlantic Division, but Venables knows that many of his players have competed in College Football Playoff games, ACC Championship games, and National Championship games.
"I think that's a big part of it - handling the moment. I take nothing for granted, by any stretch, but we've had great experience in a lot of big games where there's a lot of stakes,” Venables said.
