Legitimately a little emotional today feeling like I’m handing this guy off to an NFL PR staff.

Submitted only as a reminder of the absurd versatility and productivity of C.J. Spiller:
Travis Etienne is now 594 yards away from reaching Sammy Watkins for second on Clemson's leaderboard for career all-purpose yards. That pulls him only 3,053 yards shy of Spiller for first.

I appreciate the VT staff for their hospitality and for this note. Everyone hears the phrases “All In” and “Best is the Standard,” but as our players and staff can attest, it’s possible the most frequently used phrase internally is “No one cleans up after Clemson.”
Just a quick thank you to the Clemson University Football Team for leaving the visiting team locker room clean and in great shape after the game. Also thanks for stacking the chairs we set up for your post-game meal. Class Act.
