Still waiting on Coach Swinney. I have been asked to ask the first question and ask it about Pitt, and not FSU and that debacle, by Nikki

Coach Swinney says they are excited about being back home for a good Pitt team. Hard to believe the season has gone by so fast. He thinks what the senior class has done is amazing

Dabo now talking about Military Appreciation Day. Says Clemson has a great tradition. Now transitions to Pitt, says they are an excellent team. Fun team to watch on tape, they play the game he thinks it should be played

Another really good defensive line, two of the best DE's they will see all season. They are built to stop the run, will always outnumber you, and you have to be creative and make plays.

A very different Pitt team than the one that came in back in 2016 - they spread it out and throw it all over the yard

Dabo is asked again about FSU, and he says people will need to ask the league. Said they met all the protocols and rules.

Dabo is asked by Dennis Dodd of CBS why he said FSU wanted to forfeit, and he says, "I didn't say that. You don't listen. I said they should forfeit."

Now Trevor Groves, who feels like his few years on the beat entitles him to the first question, pops in with Pitt question to break the mood. Egregious breach of protocol by these others

Asked about seniors returning (and it not counting against scholarship limit), Swinney said he thinks he has several that will come back. Said they won't run down the hill Saturday. They honored Christian Wilkins as a senior when he was a junior, then honored him again later

Dabo asked about FSU, says the Seminoles have had three head coaches in four years and he doesn't worry about them.

He's right. FSU is no longer relevant in college football.***

that. He's obviously still fuming about that whole fiasco and not afraid of taking more shots at FSU.

I asked about the OL, and he said the effort has been fine, but there are some schematic issues. He said people have sold out to stop the run, and with Etienne and a freshman QB for two games, so why would you not?

Says it is unfair to old OL accountable for big numbers of defenders in the box, but they have been able to throw the football. Said in the past they have been more balanced because defenses played them that way.

Hmm, who would the 4 seniors who want to come back be? Skalski, Foster, Powell, and Rodgers? That would be nice.

Swinney now talking about RPO's and how they are a big extension in the run game. Says ETN leads the ACC in rush yards per game. But name of the game is points and they have scored a bunch of points.

I asked about DJ maybe getting a series here and there considering how well he played, and Swinney said he wouldn't get into that. Didn't expect he would. But wanted to ask.

Dabo says Brent Venables working on Pitt while still in Tallahassee shows the windshield mentality of the program. They flipped the ###### and now focused on Pitt

As far as a makeup game, Swinney says he will let AD Dan Radakovich worry about that.
