Interesting note:
Oddsmakers have made Georgia Tech a 17-point underdog for its game against No. 3 Clemson Saturday. Should that spread hold, it will make the Yellow Jackets the biggest underdogs they’ve been for a game in coach Paul Johnson’s tenure, according to the website Covers, a sports gambling information website.
To this point, the most points that a Tech opponent has been favored by is 15.5 points – Florida State in the 2012 ACC championship game. (The Seminoles won 21-15.) The most points that oddsmakers spotted the Jackets for a Tech home game in Johnson’s tenure was 11.5, last year’s Georgia game. (Georgia won 38-7.)

Swinney says it's interesting that Clemson opens the ACC sked with a road game for the second year in a row

Correction: Tigers open ACC play on the road for the 7th year in a row, not second.

Clemson will open the season with an ACC opponent.
What do you want to be that it's UNC in Chapel Hill?

Offensively, Tigers have to get back to first couple of games and take care of the football

Swinney says Tech HC Paul Johnson has "done it his way" and "just has answers" when it comes to calling plays.

On time of possession, Swinney says the name of the game is points and against GT doesn't really worry about it

Against a team like GT, the recipe for disaster is to have long drives but not get points, like Tigers had last few weeks

Now to the press conference part where there are individual questions that are less about this week and the team and offense in general.
