character game hung team test
The team kind of hung together. This is the kind of game that will test your character and your togetherness and your spirit.
ahead best quite room team

We ended up watching the ball and losing sight of our man.

We got beat by a team that did the things they needed to do to win the game. Clemson overcame a challenge. They did the little things. We didn't.

We don't get any credit for playing Nebraska. Everybody forgets we played Florida.
