Day One: The Freshmen

CLEMSON – The heat was on Monday, and the freshmen were feeling it.

The Clemson football team practiced for the first time Monday afternoon, an afternoon punctuated by sunny skies, searing heat and tropical humidity. Welcome to college football in the South, youngsters.

The assembled media was allowed to watch the first six periods of the practice from the field and then moved to the balcony on the outside of the indoor practice facility for the remaining 17 periods. We will have more out of the veterans later today (we are allowed back in for the full practice, so send Gatorade).
