Just some thoughts, Ngata status? Ladson status? Unexpected absences? Who does dabo watch on Sundays? Any Lessons learned from a weird season? Team demeanor heading into the matchup? Did he watch the coastal game and are those coaching moments (fumble trying not to score) for the team? Watson seemed to always match the intensity of the moment, the bigger the stage the better he seemed to play.. does he seem the same quality in Trevor?

With COVID measures, guidelines etc, how much different will the bowl site activities be?
Dec 28, 2020, 10:04 AM
|
|
Will we be there a shorter time? More planned activities for the team to keep them out of the general public?

What was the main motivator in Travis choosing to drop the weight he did in the offseason? Feedback from last year's evaluators? Wanting to show more third down back capabilities for the future?

Swinney says this is a Wednesday for those in Clemson as far as prep and routine. They have had good practices. They are excited about the playoffs and excited to be back in New Orleans and excited for the chance to win the Sugar Bowl.

Timeline for Ross to 1) find out if he is cleared and 2) if cleared whether he will stay in college or go pro?

Swinney is asked about ranking Ohio St. 11th, and he laughs and said it's only a big deal because they are playing each other. He said OSU is good enough to be the national champion and can beat anybody. Says he didn't rank anyone in the top ten who didn't play a certain number of games.

Swinney then says it's his poll and he doesn't care what anyone else thinks. He says he left Alabama out in 2017 and put Ohio St. in because the Buckeyes were Big Ten champs and Bama wasn't.

Dabo then says the game isn't played on paper and games matter.

A lot of people have made a big deal about this being a revenge game for OSU. Although Clemson won, is there any sense of extra urgency because of how the game played out last year? OSU outgained Clemson by 100 yards and needed heroics from TL and ETN to pull it out. Is this, in some sense, a game Clemson players want to go out and prove themselves to remove doubt of “bad calls” or being out played, etc

Swinney says he could run for governor in Michigan and have a good chance, but not in Ohio.

Alabama in the championship game, but out of respect to Ohio State, I’ll wait until Wednesday to start asking those.

Is it true that they changed the rules for Ohio St. again?

I heard they only have to go 6 yards for a first down in the Sugar Bowl.

Dabo says DE Xavier Thomas was in a protocol situation (sounds like Covid exposure) and wasn't available for the Notre Dame game. Then says that he won't provide any injury/status reports the rest of the week leading up to the game and takes no further questions on it.

Swinney is now comparing DW4 and TL16, says they are so similar in so many ways. Says TL16 had moxie and savviness as a true freshman was telling. There is no moment that is too big for Trevor Lawrence.

On TL16 and the Heisman, Dabo says it is a stat/media-driven award. He says Trevor Lawrence is the epitome of the Heisman. Lost so many great receivers and still threw for a lot of yards. He makes everyone else better. He has ability and knowledge that are off the charts.

Swinney says Trevor is 34-1 as a starter and this "is the best he's been."

On how this year's team stacks up to past playoff teams he has had, he says he's never had a team that has had the challenges this team has had and it is unique. Swinney says he feels good on how they are built, good in the trenches on both sides, great skill, and now playing their best football

Swinney says Ohio St. is really good on defense and the Tigers didn't play very well in that game last year.
