3. Have you looked at the schedule?

Clemson football will be favored in every game the play for the remainder of this season. The Tigers host Boston College this Saturday, followed by road trips to Miami and N.C. State before hosting Florida State. The Tigers close their season with a trip to Syracuse, a senior day game against Wake Forest, and then the short drive to Columbia for the annual rivalry match up with South Carolina.

There’s no reason Clemson football can’t win all these games. The Tigers have to remain focused and show up ready to play each and every week. There’s no way Clemson runs roughshod over these next seven games, but they should be in position to win each of them.

However, the game is not played on paper. If the winner of the game was decided by who has more talent, there would be no reason to play the rest of the season. No, the game is decided on any given Saturday by which team performs better on that day. The Tigers have to show up ready to play each and every week.

Fortunately for Clemson football, the schedule is favorable. There is not one team they cannot beat and should not beat. Hopefully, they will take it one game at a time and come out undefeated at the end of the season.
