NEW ORLEANS — Before Clemson left for New Orleans Friday afternoon, head coach Dabo Swinney gave his team one message … “Focus.”
It was a simple one, but probably affective nonetheless as the Tigers landed in New Orleans Friday afternoon just after 4 p.m. Clemson will play LSU Monday night for the College Football National Championship at the Superdome.
The last time Clemson was in “The Big Easy” things did not go so well. The Tigers partook in a lot of the festivities that take place in New Orleans and in the end some of the players admitted afterwards they probably were not as focused as they need to be.
