Swinney describes Charlotte as if it's the San Francisco 49ers

It is always interesting for Dabo Swinney to turn the page and see what the next challenge is for him and his top-ranked Clemson Tigers.

The challenge this week, according to Swinney, is the Charlotte 49ers. They come to Death Valley on Saturday (7:30 p.m.) sporting a 2-1 record with wins over Gardner-Webb and UMass and a loss to App. State.

Swinney’s description of the 49ers made it sound like the Tigers (3-0, 2-0 ACC) were playing the NFL’s San Francisco 49ers on Saturday.

“This is a team offensively that is going to challenge us,” Swinney said Tuesday during his weekly press conference.
