ORLANDO, Fla. — When Clemson gathered in Orlando for the Cheez-It Bowl, all players who are healthy enough to play were there.
While opting out of bowl games has become more commonplace around college football, Clemson linebacker James Skalski says the culture that has been established within the program lends itself to players finishing their careers on the field and not watching the bowl game from home while getting ready for the next chapter of thier life.
Skalski is a sixth-year super senior who has a chance to be a part of the 11th consecutive season of double-digit wins. The Tigers will take a 9-3 record into the showdown with Iowa State.
