Ever since the bye week, Clemson football has had a different type of mindset coming into games.
Before the midseason point, we were seeing the Tigers struggle put away teams. We were seeing them barley rally past Syracuse. They struggled with Texas A&M.
But, then the Wake Forest game came. All of a sudden, the offense looked different. The Tigers put up a 63-3 performance against the Demon Deacons.
After a bye week, Clemson came out and waxed NC State 41-7 in a game that was expected to be a close one. Following the game, Dabo Swinney said something interesting and it apparently has stuck with the entire Clemson football team through the month of October and heading into the championship phase of the season.
