Clemson coach Dabo Swinney met with the media on Sunday to recap the Tigers win over Wake Forest and look forward to this week's showdown with N.C. State. TIinClemson has everything Swinney had to say:
:"He got banged up in the game. He pushed through practice but just wasn't able to go. Everybody is back in there today. We have a long week. Hopefully we'll get a lot of guys back this week, but it's just a day to day thing."SWINNEY
:"Nothing good ever comes from easy, I'll tell you that. You hate it but if you're made of the right stuff, you get better from adversity and challenges. Our safeties actually played well. Everything was at corner ... just awful. I mean just really poor. From a technique standpoint, a fundamental standpoint ... poor. These kids work hard and have a lot of pride, so you win a game like that, you have their attention. It's a lonely position to play.
... that was just a great throw and catch. Now, we didn't do a good enough job of making him uncomfortable throwing.did some things that were good. I thought that was a tough call ... the defenseless player. He doesn't know the kid is dropping the ball. That was a tough play and a tough call. It changed the momentum there. He's going to get better from that.
was peeking in the backfield and let the guy behind him and that just can't happen. He's a true freshman and he'll get better. For sure. These guys have pride in their performance.":"Yes. We should have protected the corner more. We called a cover-2 one time and the corner busted. They hit a guy in the flat and he went 15 yards. We finally just went to some Tampa-2 and we were in that on the last play. Definitely some things we could have done better.
