The open date is good for everyone associated with the Clemson football program, from the coaches to the players to the support staff, a group that has had to deal with the restrictions of COVID while trying to play a college football season that is difficult even under normal circumstances.
We’ve seen that several programs are starting to figuratively drop the ball as players realize their season is going nowhere and leave their respective bubbles and then test positive (see LSU’s players and the super spreader Halloween party). Games are being canceled or postponed at an alarming rate, but other than the occasional case here and there, the Tigers are staying disciplined in hopes of bringing home another championship.
