November is a time of Thanksgiving, cooler weather and crunch time in college football. For Clemson, it means a November with everything to play for.
No. 9 Clemson sits at 6-1 overall and 5-0 in the ACC with five games to play. The slate starts with a November 2nd home date against Louisville, continues with road trips to Virginia Tech and Pittsburgh, and closes with home games against The Citadel and South Carolina.
A year ago, the Tigers were 4-4 entering November. Following a heartbreaking loss at NC State, all hopes for an ACC title or a berth in the College Football Playoff were out the door.
