If you believe in teams of destiny, there’s more than enough evidence to submit Clemson as a candidate.
One game remains on the schedule and already this team has achieved much more than any Clemson team before it – save one.
The stakes are raised beginning this week against a South Carolina team that’s as dangerous as a wounded dog. Clemson won’t be seduced by a 3-8 record because enough of these players were on the team that lost a third, fourth and fifth straight to the Gamecocks, and they’re still gargling saltwater to scrub the bitterness.
