CHARLOTTE – Clemson is a program used to winning big games, and many fans are already looking ahead to some of the biggest games of the season. Not center Will Putnam.
Putnam spoke with the media at the ACC Football Kickoff in Charlotte last week and detailed the team’s goals, saying the Tigers focused on winning the ACC before concentrating on the National Championship because they most likely cannot get to the championship without winning their conference.
“Before even playoffs, before even thinking about playoffs, we obviously think about our first game, which is Duke, which is going to be a big game, and then on top of that, we always think about getting back to Charlotte in December because that’s our biggest thing is we can’t go to the playoffs if we don’t win in Charlotte,” Putnam said.
