CLEMSON, S.C.. – The Florida Atlantic University football team fell to Clemson 48-14 on Saturday evening.
"I know the scoreboard is awful and the way we looked for a lot of the first half was awful and our guys responded for the most part. We are going to really do a good job of accentuating and promoting the guys that upheld our standard and our culture regardless of the scoreboard and also make sure we point out the guys that did not."
Quotable
Hagerty Family Head Football Coach Tom Herman"I know the scoreboard is awful and the way we looked for a lot of the first half was awful and our guys responded for the most part. We are going to really do a good job of accentuating and promoting the guys that upheld our standard and our culture regardless of the scoreboard and also make sure we point out the guys that did not."
