I'm beginning to think it hurts us. That is twice now where our team just didn't look ready for the moment. You can say that Clemson has better players but not that much better! We nearly beat them at their place in 2015 and they went undefeated until barely losing to Alabama that year. We also lost to eventual finalist Georgia by one point last year.
I wonder if our program would benefit from being in a conference and playing in a big-time conference championship game each year. Bowl games are so different. There isn't that kind of pressure... (*This or Kelly really needs to rethink his game prep for these games.)
Thoughts?
