With 5 seniors on the O line, we went 11-0 in '88 then lost to ND for the NC in the Fiesta Bowl. This was the '89 Gator Bowl after an 8-2-1 regular season with a new starting O line. Clemson handed our inexperienced line their asses and won easily. Major didn't come back his senior year.
Discipline and Preperation were the trademarks of the Danny Ford Clemson teams of the 1980's. That's what made Clemson so successful during that decade. Time after time they'd go and play bowl games against teams with more talent then they had: Nebraska, Penn State, Oklahoma, West VA (and Major Harris), and Ford would have his boys ready to go mentally and physically. God, if only it could be like that again.
Thank you for re-uploading. Possibly one of the best Clemson videos ever. That team under Danny Ford was just incredible. The passion those players had obviously stemmed from proper leadership. They were relentless.
