Clemson News, Football

Head Football Coach Dabo Swinney met with the media via zoom for the second straight day following the conclusion of Wednesday practice at Allen N. Reeves Football Facility. Swinney spent roughly half an hour talking with the media prior to the Tigers heading to take on Wake Forest on Saturday night at 7:30 pm.

Swinney spoke on COVID-19 guidelines, how he is feeling about seeing the ball kicked off on Saturday night after the longest offseason in recent memory, and spoke on his former stars Deshaun Watson and Deandre Hopkins becoming the highest paid players at their position in the NFL.

Here are some of the best quotes from Swinney’s media availability:
