FT LAUDERDALE. FL – It’s all about the palm trees and the push of a rival.
The Clemson football team practiced for two hours at Nova Southeastern University Sunday, the first practice in Florida as the nation’s number one ranked team prepares to take on fourth-ranked Oklahoma in Thursday’s Orange Bowl.
The practice field at Nova is ringed by palm trees, and head coach Dabo Swinney took notice of the tropical climate.
“It’s always a good thing when you go to your bowl game and see palm trees,” Swinney said after the two hour practice.
