Swinney says Ga. Southern has 7 guys from this state coming to play...QB is from Newberry. Clemson offered the QB as an athlete.

Dabo says this is the opposite of the Furman game....GS has experience on defense, so thumpers that will get after you on D. A good scheme that matches offensive scheme

Swinney says Ga Southern hasn't given up big plays, Clemson has six plays of 40 yards this season after only 11 last season. Clemson leads the nation in that category

Swinney says his prayers go out to everyone in hurricane's path. No idea on what the weather will do or if it will affect the game

Swinney says LG John Simpson didn't play very well at Texas A&M. "He didn't have a winning performance."

Dabo says Cade Stewart played pretty well, had one miss that might have cost Clemson a TD when Hunter Renfrow was wide open. Bryant had to sail the ball and overthrew Renfrow

Dabo compares Ga. Southern to App St., a former 1-AA program that was dominant and has moved up in the ranks to FBS. "They are doing what they have always done."

Dabo says it's a good thing Clemson plays GT a week after GS, both option teams. But says now GT also has three games of film (Furman) of Clemson playing the option

Dabo on A&M ...."We won a tough, gritty game with a million mistakes. People have no idea the mental toughness it takes to win a game like that on the road."

Dabo on A&M.."That is why we play those games. We could have played Mary Poppins. But we didn't."

I’m glad Mary poppins has been removed from our schedule. Her magic would destroy our secondary.

Swinney says, "Our will to win was incredible. If you could bottle that up...if we can get that effort week in and week out we will be a really good team. We played winning football but not championship football last week."

Someone asks Dabo if he will play more guys this week, hinting that Clemson will have the chance to empty the bench. "I don't know. This is the biggest game of the year and I'm expecting a four-quarter game."

Dabo says 22-yard punt late in the game was "a disaster." Pleased overall with punting.

Swinney says unless there is a setback he expects TE Garrett Williams to play. Williams missed Texas A&M (knee)

Dabo says as a company (he was out of coaching) they watched the events unfold. He said he sat there and thought about his 3-yr old (Will) and 2-yr old (Drew) and the world they would grow up in
