Scrimmage Insider: Swinney says this team is "made of the right stuff"

The Clemson football team held its first full scrimmage of the spring Wednesday in Death Valley, and head coach Dabo Swinney says his team is made of the right stuff.

The Tigers practiced for two hours in front of NFL scouts and a few spectators, and it's obvious that Swinney loves what he's seen out of linebacker Jeremiah Trotter and freshmen running backs Phil Mafah and Will Shipley.

Here are the notes from Swinney's press conference following the scrimmage:

*Today was the first full scrimmage and Swinney called it a "fun day" and said it was a really very competitive on both sides and finished up with short-yardage and goalline.
