Clemson traveled to New Orleans at the conclusion of the 2017 season for the Sugar Bowl and got smacked by eventual national champion Alabama in the College Football Playoff Semifinal.

Now third-ranked Clemson has the opportunity to redeem itself against an SEC foe in the Superdome for the CFP National Championship Game against No. 1 LSU. And they are determined not to lose focus on the task at hand.
