Clemson defense is ‘pissed’ as its heads to Arizona

As Clemson gets set to head out to Arizona to play No. 2 Ohio State in the Fiesta Bowl, as part of the College Football Playoff, its defense is not happy.

Why?

They are still steamed about their performance in the ACC Championship Game on Dec. 7. Though the third-ranked Tigers easily dismantled No. 24 Virginia, 62-17, the Cavaliers became the first team this season to total 300 yards on the Tigers.

To be exact, it was 387 total yards, and they scored 17 points.

“We played a good game in our eyes against Virginia, but we were pissed,” linebacker James Skalski said.
