It has been 11 days since Clemson was last on a football field. That night, the Tigers thrashed Pittsburgh in the ACC Championship Game in Charlotte to win their fourth straight ACC Championship while also locking up a spot in the College Football Playoff for a fourth consecutive year.
Since then Clemson has discovered it will play Notre Dame in the CFP Semifinals at the Cotton Bowl in Arlington, Texas. It will mark just the four meeting between the two programs and the first meeting in the postseason.
In between the ACC Title Game and today’s first bowl practice, Christian Wilkins, Clelin Ferrell, Hunter Renfrow and Travis Etienne have experienced the award ceremonies tour and experienced what it is like to be a finalist and winner for such prestigious honors.
