CHARLOTTE – ACC Network analyst EJ Manuel says Clemson is a national power, and not only the ACC’s premier program, as the third-ranked Tigers get ready to play for their fifth straight conference championship Saturday against No. 23 Virginia.
“It’s going to be a good game,” Manuel said to reporters Friday. “Obviously I think Clemson is a powerhouse in the country and not just the ACC. So, I’m sure Coach Bronco (Mendenhall) is definitely making sure his team is ready to go, and I think UVA is going to look at it as an opportunity to kind of get some more respect for themselves as a program.
