Brownell says this Clemson -Team ‘Different’

Raleigh, NC – with its victory in NC State on Saturday, Clemson has won six equal. The Tigers are now 10-1 in ACC games for only the second time in program history.

Clemson first achieved Bragden two years ago, and while it is definitely a monumental start, head coach Brad Brownell will not be too caught in the position.

Brownell knows too well that his team still has to end strongly.

“It’s fantastic, but there are still nine games left,” Brownell said. “It doesn’t mean much right now. We have important games in front. Because you have played well, they give ahead to games you a chance to do something special. “

Two years ago, when his team was in exactly the same place, most people thought the tigers were a lock for the NCAA tournament. However, Clemson ended up losing five of their last nine matches in ACC Play and would eventually miss out on the big dance.

Injuries plagued that team, and although these memories are still fresh, Brownell really feels good about his current team.

“This is another team,” Brownell said. “You dig into it, we had some injuries and guys missed games during this stretch. That’s part of it. You have to be lucky. When you don’t have your full guys, it makes it harder. This year, most games, we have had full assignment. But this year’s team just has to worry about what’s ahead of us, not what happened two years ago. “

Next is one of the more challenging parts of the ACC slate, although the next three competitions will be played in Littlejohn. Clemson welcomes Georgia Tech to the city on Tuesday.

Then comes the highly expected matchup with No. 2 Duke. Clemson is currently a game behind Blue Devils in the league.

Two days later, Tigers hosts North Carolina to wrap up in the three-game.

“I’m proud of us for being 10-1,” Brownell said. “But we know there are nine more games to go to end the league.”
