Who knew Peanut Butter & Jelly meant so much to Clemson football?

Clemson’s football program has a full-time nutritionist and a full-time chef. Their goal is to work together and make sure what the top-ranked Tigers put into their bodies will be the fuel they need to compete for another national championship.

However, maybe Dabo Swinney should we think things a bit.

It seems at Clemson, the key to being a national championship quarterback is eating your weight in peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. The starting quarterback in two of the Tigers’ three national championships has been a player that has been fueled by PB&Js.

During its magical run to the 1981 National Championship, it was well documented that quarterback Homer Jordan ate peanut butter and jelly sandwiches every day.
