Dabo Swinney Georgia Tech press conference

Tigers and Jackets play at Noon Saturday. The game is set to be broadcast on ABC.
Mark Jones (play-by-play), Louis Riddick (analyst), and Quint Kessenich (sideline reporter) will call the television broadcast.
Don Munson, Tim Bourret, and Reggie Merriweather will broadcast the game on the Clemson Athletic Network.
It is my hope that Reggie doesn't have to throw his headset this week.

Swinney is here, says there are two games left in the Valley. Always special to be back. Amazing environment all year. The stadium is beautiful and he had friends in last week who had never been here for a game and they remarked how special it is.

Dabo says Military Appreciation Day is special everywhere, but it's especially true here with the rich history at Clemson. He says Clemson does an amazing job. Always a special week.

GT has won three out of four and playing with a lot of confidence. They are doing a lot of good things, says Brent Key has instilled confidence. A team that fights to the end. Off they are scoring a bunch of points, very balanced, creative in what they do

Does this mean they'll bring more than their usual 15 to 20 fans?***

Swinney says GT is a team that has found ways to win games. Playing with a lot of heart and toughness and belief. The QB has brought a lot of life to them and this is always a big game.

Will Shipley was able to go in green yesterday and is trending in the right direction. They hope he is able to go.

On Mafah, they said they will make sure he stays hot. But Swinney also says that they don't need to get amnesia and forget Will Shipley. But have to make sure Mafah stays hot.

They can't let the QB hold the ball and make decisions...Clemson has to win the matchups and create disruption, not let them have rhythm or timing.

Everybody talking about Ship and Mafah. What about the OLine? I think they did great Saturday. Keep the boys in who proved themselves against ND and I believe Ship and Mafah will have good performances.

On the Clemson/GT rivalry, which isn't protected under new format, Swinney said the teams haven't really fought for recruits. But the rivalry is old with a lot of history and there have been a lot of big games. GT is a great program and on the rise.

The venerable Tim Bourret leans over and shows me a stat - GT is next to last in rush defense (132 out of 133 teams).

Let's go old skewl. Grind it out and keep the GT offense on the sidelines.***

Swinney says they now have an expanded roster - they are to a point where the guys they want to redshirt can play. Also, the postseason doesn't count. Webb, Noble Johnson, Webb, Jarvis Green, Jay Haynes, Marckus Dixon, Strozier, etc. They now have more bodies and it might be just on special teams

They can also take a full roster to South Carolina because it's a non-conference game so the roster limit doesn't matter.

Ian Reed has been sick also, something he dealt with growing up. They just need to get him better. Also, Antonio Williams is trending better and they hope to get him back by end of year. They also hope that Marcus Tate could play in a bowl game.

On his Block C hat, Dabo always wears that hat in November. Wears the paw to begin the season but the Block C in the championship phase of the season.
