Associated Press - Clemson, SC
As #2 Clemson prepares for it's highly anticipated matchup with #3 Florida State, the buildup could not possibly be raised higher. The war of words between these two ACC powerhouses will undoubtedly result in a slugfest on Saturday.
At a post-practice press conference earlier in the week, Clemson coach utvol27 fired at FSU coach cjohnchavis by saying, "Honeymoon's over now! FSU may be undefeated now, but it's time for them to be put in their rightful spot, in second place in the division! Honeymoon's literally over for cjohnchavis too! This isn't Rome, so he won't be doing as the Romans do anymore. I'm coming to Tallahassee to do as the old saying goes 'when in Tallahassee, beat FSU.' He's coming crashing back down after the game!"
FSU coach cjohnchavis responded modestly, saying, "My nemesis to the north can talk all they want. My team will be ready. This year will be different. I gameplanned over my honeymoon while taking breaks from other activities."
Clemson coach utvol27 has had success in boasting before the big game. Recall the verbal he had with brother and LSU coach UTVOL54 before what was also a #2 vs. #3 game. Clemson came out on top in that game 17-14. This tactic by coach utvol27 has lit a fire under his players before, and its obvious he is hoping for the same again.
Cjohnchavis seems relaxed and stress-free coming off his honeymoon, and that calm demeanor could take the pressure of this monumental matchup off of his team.
Only time will tell.
