CHESTNUT HILL, MA – Despite what the national pundits and College GameDay hosts wanted college football fans to believe, the weather wasn’t a factor Saturday night.
Yes, it was cold. Yes, the wind was blowing. Yes, Trevor Lawrence had never been north of Virginia. Yes, Clemson usually plays in warm temperatures.
In spite of all the weather conditions, Clemson came to play like it was 70 degrees and sunny and took care of business beating No. 17 Boston College 27-7 in front of a sold out crowd at Alumni Stadium Saturday night.
Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney said that after listening to all of the reporters, he was afraid his team may forget how to play football due to the frigid weather conditions.
