This time next week, top-ranked Clemson will be in Winston-Salem, N.C., getting ready to play college football. The Tigers open the 2020 football season at Wake Forest with a 7:30 p.m. kick on ABC.
It has been a long journey to get to this point, a point many did not think was going to happen back in March when the COVID-19 pandemic hit and shut down the entire sports world for more than two months. Since then protocols and guidelines have been established, workouts finally started back up, schedules were rearranged and finally there was practice.
Now, after months of speculation there might not be a football season, a new season is about to begin for the Clemson football team and the rest of the ACC.
