It’s time to get ‘the big boy pads out’

It is time for No. 2 Clemson to put its big boy pants on when it hosts Boston College Saturday at Memorial Stadium.

The Eagles, who are coming off an impressive 45-24 victory over NC State at home last Saturday, lead the Atlantic Coast Conference in rushing yards (1,948) and rushing yards per game (278.3).

“It was more like for me going back to 1990,” Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney said. “They will do some shotgun, though, but they are under center, too. Just the physicality, it is right at you.”

Boston College (4-3, 2-2 ACC) ran right at the Wolfpack last week and rushed for 429 yards.
