Clemson,SC
Dabo Swinney spoke to the media at his weekly press conference.. this week’s topic ACC foe North Carolina and the game to be played inside Keenan Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The Tigers ranked #1 (3-0) (2-0 ACC) unanimously across the polls will face a young 2-2 Tarheel squad in the midst of a makeover by Mac Brown. Brown making his return to Chapel Hill after leaving the program over a decade ago to take on the Texas job. Brown looks to bring the Heels back into relevance in ACC circles. And a win against the Tigers in front of a sold out Keenan stadium could put them back on that track.
