Read excerpt
Roy Philpott moved on from covering Clemson years ago, but the topic of his alma mater still comes up in his jobs doing ESPN play-by-play and a daily show on SiriusXM College.

Once upon a time, Clemson was preparing for a game against LSU and not many folks gave the Tigers a chance. Eric Mac Lain was a player then, back in December of 2012, and he remembers how a brutal few weeks of bowl practices ended up giving Clemson the mental and physical toughness to hang with Les Miles' powerhouse program. The 25-24 triumph will always go down as one of the landmark breakthroughs of the Dabo Swinney era. "We went into that game wondering who we were and what we were about, and
