Winning Culture: Swinney expects focused team headed into playoff

Game on.

Second-ranked Clemson has about three weeks of rest and bowl practice before packing their bags and equipment trunks and heading to Arizona for the College Football Playoff Semifinal against Ohio St. in the Fiesta Bowl.

That down time – the time in between the end of the regular season and the bowls themselves – is often littered with academic casualties and suspensions as players relax after four grueling months of practice, school work, and games.

Head coach Dabo Swinney told the media he doesn’t expect any problems from his players going forward, simply because this has been his easiest team to coach, and that’s something he attributes to the leadership of the seniors.
