Emotional Isaiah Simmons recaps bittersweet night in the Superdome

NEW ORLEANS, LA – One game doesn’t define Clemson football and it certainly won’t define Isaiah Simmons.

While the season, and possibly Simmons’ Clemson career, didn’t end the way he wanted it to, one game and one loss doesn’t write the story for the 2019 Clemson football team.

Simmons was full of emotion as he walked off the Superdome field late Monday night, but as upset as he was by the outcome of the game, he was just happy with the time he spent with his coaches and teammates over the last three years.

“At the end of the year, it's always emotional regardless of if you win or lose because there are some guys that you may have become really close with throughout your years in college and you're parting ways,” Simmons said after Monday night’s national championship.
