QUOTE OF THE WEEK Really proud of our team, what a dogfight. It’s a shame somebody has to lose that game when you see two teams that play with such great will to win. Hats off to A&M. What an awesome environment. I mean, just awesome. Their fans were great…. We’re very fortunate to win the game. Dabo Swinney, Clemson Head Coach
