A few weeks ago, Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney looked ahead to the Tigers’ late September open date and thought that it came too early in the season. Now, he thinks it’s coming at the perfect time.
No. 1 Clemson defeated ACC foe Wake Forest 37-13 on the road and dismantled The Citadel 49-0 at home for a 2-0 start to the season. The Tigers are firing on all cylinders but won’t take the field again until an Oct. 3rd home date with Virginia (8 p.m., ACCN).
However, the students have returned to campus in force, in-person learning started this week and the Tigers have more than a few bumps and bruises.
