So here we are. Game week against Clemson, with a chance to make a statement win against the number one team in the country. A chance to put a dent in the legacy of one of the most successful college quarterbacks of our generation. And honestly, thinking back to August, I’m not sure I could’ve imagined being in a better position to do it than we sit right now.
That’s when the schedule was originally announced, and when Miami popped up as a road opponent against Clemson, most Cane backers groaned (whether they admit it or not). The original schedule had set up nicely, with a September road trip to Michigan State serving as the litmus test for a program looking to get back to just winning the games it should, after losing their last 3 games against inferior opponents.
