Jimbo Fisher responds to Swinney's comments about splitting series


by -

According to the Orlando Sentinel, FSU's coach Jimbo Fisher was asked during his weekly call-in show to address Dabo Swinney's statement that his Clemson team would “probably win five, they'd probably win five.”

With the audience cheering and Fisher smiling, the FSU coach said:

“They have a great ball club and you’ll never know how each game goes. Like you say, you watch a World Series game, a team can win 10-0 one day, lose 10-0 the next the day. Good teams play, and that’s the thing about athletics, every game has its own life. That’s the thing about athletics that we just don’t understand. A team could win big one day, the other team can win the next day.

“On a different day, maybe they do it. But that’s a game in which we played well. I still kind of like our team pretty much, too.”
