Because of COVID-19 and all of the safety precautions and protocols Clemson was forced to adhere to, the football team’s first road trip of the season to Wake Forest last weekend was much different than a typical road trip of the past, in multiple ways.
First of all, the players and staff had to get tested for the virus on Friday, per ACC rules, before they boarded the buses and departed for Winston-Salem. Then, as they traveled on the buses and the plane, everyone had to wear both a face mask and a face shield.
Clemson tried to keep its usual game-week Friday routine as normal as possible, but it was certainly a unique road trip for the Tigers from the time they left to when they returned home.
