Clemson National 2016 Champions: Embrace the Target

Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney borrowed the mantra Embrace The Target from a May meeting with a major-league baseball manager. By August when the preseason football polls were released, it was apparent Clemson would in fact be the target the entire season at No. 2 in the nation, CU s highest preseason ranking ever. Opposing teams put in extra time in preparation for the Tigers, and it was clear from the first game that Clemson would get every team s best shot on the way to winning the 2016 National Championship. Clemson Football Communications director Tim Bourret provides the narrative illustrated by over 150 high-quality images by photographer Carl Ackerman, from the opening game against Auburn to the National Championship Game victory over No. 1 Alabama and the parade in Clemson. With a foreword by Coach Swinney, this special commemorative book will be a collector s item for years to come.
