Here is a warning for any team out there that wants to start something with Clemson … don’t poke the bear. Or in this case the Tiger.
Every time an opponent has attempted to intimidate the Tigers with a little pushing or shoving or smack talk before or during a game since 2015, it has resulted in a beatdown. Sometimes, it has occurred in record fashion.
Florida State is the latest victim.
Clemson was already in front 14-0 this past Saturday when the Seminoles got under their skin. The Tigers were going to win the game, there was very little doubt at that time, but I don’t know if they would have beat the ‘Noles in the record fashion they did had Florida State not messed with quarterback Trevor Lawrence.
