Dabo Swinney is here:

He says he is growing up with some firsts:

His first player (CJ Spiller) is being inducted into the ring of honor.

The matchup against Virginia is the first time he will coach against a former assistant.

Dabo Swinney calls Virginia QB Anthony Colandrea "a problem."

He says Colandrea reminds him of Ashton Daniels and his ability to make plays off-script.

Swinney is also incredibly complementary of the Virginia secondary.

Their two leading tacklers reside in the secondary.

Swinney says Peter Woods is making good progress, ramping back to being 100%.

I believe his snap count was about 10 more reps this weekend against Wake.

"We will manage how we fill out the rest of the roster, whether it is high school kids or portal kids. You aren't going to go get 105 Bryant Wescos. That is just the reality."

Swinney adds that Clemson has three quarterbacks they can win with moving forward into 2025.

"Everyone wanted me to fire Klubnik last year, but he's pretty good."

He believes they will add a QB in the portal or through recruitment in the 2025 class.

“This is what you do against the slow mesh: Penetrate. Take the center & push him right back into the backfield, change the line of scrimmage… in trouble is QB Claiborne, swallowed up in the backfield for a loss of 3.”
