A few question ideas....
Sep 4, 2018, 11:07 AM
|
|
With FSU looking like complete crap last night, do you consider the A&M game to be the only obstacle to going undefeated?
Did you think Saban was a complete a-hole with his response to Maria Taylor at the end of the game or just a partial a-hole?
Have you sold your stock in Nike yet, and why are you still wearing a Nike shirt today?
Any truth to the rumor that you released ballons at your house Saturday before heading to the stadium?

Swinney says A&M is like another opener, don't know a lot about what the Aggies have. Don't have a lot of video evidence against them. Huge challenge. Impressed with A&M

Dabo says the Aggies are stout on the DL...says a lot of guys back on defense. Likes their secondary, as good at safety as anybody Clemson will see.

Dabo says he is impressed with A&M QB Kellen Mond. Says Mond camped here at Clemson one summer. Incredibly athletic. Lot of moxie. Impressed with way Mond ran the option

Huge game for both teams, lot of adversity and Swinney wants to see his team embrace that. "This is the type of game that makes you better."

Beating the snot out of an SEC team will get you more credit with ESPN and CFP committee than going undefeated in conference.

Dabo asked if he's been to Texas A&M, and he says "I was a part of that butt whipping we took out there. We stayed a long way away."

The buses on that trip had no A/C, everybody had pants pulled up, shirts off, "We looked like North Dallas Forty. In my mind I knew it was going to be a long day and it was."

I can't exactly give it to one of the QBs or RBs or WRs, might hurt someone's feelings.

Dabo says OL needs a nickname. "Maybe we will take a poll for them. But that comes with the territory of being an OL. But that is Robbie (Caldwell's) personality. We have a talented group."

Swinney says Texas A&M has a very talented roster, but again says there are a lot of unknowns which is why it is like an opener

Dabo says Kelly Bryant is a great leader and a great young man. Says Bryant has embraced Chase Brice and Trevor Lawrence and has been a mentor to both. Then has competed.

Dabo asked if 2-QB system might be wave of future to try and keep players happy. "I ain't trying to keep anybody happy. I had two QBs transfer."

Swinney says a successful program can't let external factors be anywhere in your psyche. Same things that win at home win on the road. Uniforms and music and all that don't matter

Dabo says he doesn't understand the concern people have with playing on the road. "The fans don't play. As a player, I used to love going on the road. You can channel that energy in a positive way"

Dabo says there were things to clean up after Saturday. Got QB hit on missed assignment, too many people loafing, a lot to clean up

"Too many people loafing" is a major concern. There is always a solution for loafing -- take playing time away!
