Lashlee says that SMU's decision to shift to Kevin Jennings was one of the pivotal moments of the season.
Jennings has accounted for over 20 TDs for the Mustangs.

Lashlee says Clemson's defense does a good job of stopping the run.
He has also said he hasn't watched much film from them...so there's that.

In another interview he did, he said the 13 portal guys they brought in added the depth they needed to get through a long season. He credited that as one of the big differences this year from previous years, and a key to their success and consistency.

Lashlee says the team has been in playoff mode for a month, battling for not just the ACC title spot, but doing enough for a potential at-large bid.

Lashlee says Cade Klubnik is someone who is in complete command of the offense, and has a great feel of getting the ball to his top guys.
Lashlee recruited Klubnik back in high school, and says some of those traits that made him such a top prospect have been on display this year.

Swinney says he just got home as Syracuse led 35-28.
He says his phone blew up from the players and his friends.
He says Fran Brown facetimed him after they beat Miami.

Swinney says he was in the scrum when South Carolina tried to plant the flag, saying it was a scary situation that should not happen.
He said he was disappointed to learn it happened last year, and that he and Beamer will work on trying to prevent that.

Swinney says their retention is the reason they haven't dove into the portal, but says they considered attacking the portal for the offensive line, but they trusted Linthicum, saying he showed enough this spring for them to trust him.

Swinney says this team has been close in its three losses and says he has plenty of confidence the team can get it done against SMU.
He says this Clemson team is battle-tested and knows it can win.
