Clemson ‘Not Going to Flinch’

After the loss to Syracuse last Saturday that left Clemson sitting at 1-3, the Tigers began the bye week by holding a team meeting. Just the players and head coach Dabo Swinney.

By all accounts, it was an emotional meeting, as players shared frustrations over the teams early season struggles. It was cathartic, and defensive tackle Peter Woods said there was one common message.

“It was needed. It was all about responding,” Woods said. “Nobody expected us to start the season off like this. But it is all about how you respond.”

Woods has been in a similar position in the past.
