All of the college football awards shows had one thing in common – a decided lack of Clemson talent. All that does is add fuel to the ROY Bus.
Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney and linebacker Isaiah Simmons were invited to Thursday night’s Home Depot College Football Awards Show, and Simmons was allowed to walk the red carpet as the Butkus Award winner. Other than that, however, the Tigers were a mere afterthought.
Program host Chris Fowler joked during the program that the snubs would likely give Swinney plenty of motivational ammunition heading into the College Football Playoff, and Swinney merely shrugged in agreement.
