Clemson vs Iowa State: Cheez-It Bowl, What’s Going To Happen
This should be a better game than you think.
No, it’s not one of the major bowls that Clemson is used to, but there doesn’t appear to be any sort of a big-timer, too-good-for-the-bowl thing happening for the group that’s still around.
If anything – from all indications – the team that’s still around is taking on the exact right mentality you’d think it would considering the success it’s used to.
Yes, there are a slew of missing parts to injuries, other programs, and a few for the NFL, but this is still a very, very good Clemson team with an elite defense that’s about to show up.
Iowa State has a nasty D, too.
Don’t expect fireworks in any way. Both teams are going to have to grind their way to points with Clemson’s defense doing just a wee bit more.
