CLEMSON - The rankings don’t matter and Clemson has only been a few plays away from beating Florida State the past few years – Dabo Swinney has preached this message, and offensive tackle Eric Mac Lain is following in his footsteps. The redshirt senior was loose, yet confident this week as the team prepared for yet another game that could help define the 2015 season.
Many Clemson fans are haunted by the disastrous 2013 game in Death Valley against the Seminoles, and that sentiment isn’t lost on the players. However, Mac Lain believes the current leadership is more prepared to lead the team to victory this time around.
