For the first time in history, SMU will visit Death Valley on Saturday.
Clemson will host the Mustangs in a rematch of last year’s thrilling ACC Championship Game that saw the Tigers hold off a furious rally by SMU and clinch a spot in the College Football Playoff with a 56-yard Nolan Hauser field goal as time expired.
On Tuesday, Mustangs’ head coach Rhett Lashlee noted how tough the Tigers have been at home over the years, and that his team knows what kind of challenge they will be facing.
However, the Tigers haven’t been so formidable at home of late.
