MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- Jay Guillermo loves his team, which given his role as the starting center on Clemson's powerful offensive line and the Tigers' place in the College Football Playoff should probably go without saying. It's just that Guillermo still says it -- again, and again, and again.
During practice, when the coaches are yelling and the sun is baking and the players are struggling, Guillermo pats a teammate on the back and says "I love you."
"It can get a little weird," tight end Jordan Leggett said.
After a bad play, line coach Robbie Caldwell will rip into his players, a whirlwind of fury whipping up and down the sideline.
