bring your own guts 

Term coined by Clemson football coach Dabo Swinney to describe the mindset players should have for game-day. Clemson will give players on scholarship free tuition, but only the players themselves can bring toughness and determination to their game. BYOG means that players should play hard-nosed football with tenacity and spirit

Dabo: We give you stipends, and meals, and a place to live. We give you nice uniforms. I can’t give you guts. And I can’t give you heart. And tonight, hey, it was B.Y.O.G. Bring your own guts
