CLEMSON – There has been a sense of confidence surrounding the Clemson football program the last few months, and that feeling has only escalated during fall camp. That has led to not only the players but also the head coach saying that a return to the National Championship is the goal.
In the past, players have repeated Swinney’s five goals for the season – win the opener, win the division, win the rivalry game against the Gamecocks, win the conference championship, and win the “closer” or final game of the season. With the ACC’s new division-less format, one of those goals is off the table.
