When we think about all the close battles Clemson has lost over the years....its because its all unfortunately and fortunately embedded in our memories.
Fortunately..because it gives the team the chance to be stronger for it and learn from it. Unfortunately ..because the team had to go through it......the fans also had to go through it. An emotional punch in the gut it all was.
We are at the deep end in another season and once again we look good. Once again we are playing good football that has Clemson standing firm at 12 and 0. But we have to turn our heads and focus on the possible 3 games ahead.
Pitt gave us a mental scar a few years ago. We can get a total removal of that scar tonight. Tonight we don't let anything stand in our way. Tonight we don't miss easy tackles. Tonight we run hard for all the yards. Tonight we catch all the passes. Tonight we make all the field goals and catch all the punts. Tonight we score......score....score....score....score....score....score......WIN!!!!
And if we do all that tonight......we get the automatic opportunity to do it again later this month.....against somebody else. Make no mistake about it...Pitt is going to throw EVERYTHING at us and our defense tonight....and I'm talking things we haven't quite seen. Don't let yourselves down tonight. Lets dominate and take what we came for.
