For a lot of the players on the Clemson football team, Saturday’s game in Syracuse, New York will be just another road trip. For others, it might be the first time they have ever traveled this far to play a football game. For some it will probably be the first time they will travel on a plane.
The first road game of the year is unique for any team because it is a little different than playing at home. It is especially unique when you’re the defending national champions and the No. 1-ranked team in the country and your first road trip is to a place that is nicknamed “The Loud House” and the game has already been announced as the first sellout there in 21 years.
