Clemson’s defensive end Logan Rudolph believes Clemson is not the underdog in any fight. Rudolph knows Clemson has been built to win big games.

Although the Mercedes-Benz Superdome will likely be filled with LSU fans, Rudolph says Clemson embraces opportunities to play in that kind of environment. On Monday night in New Orleans, America will see if Rudolph and the Clemson Tigers can win back-to-back National Championships when they play the LSU Tigers.
