Swinney expects 49ers to give Tigers a challenge

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 today, according to Swinney, is the Charlotte 49ers. They come to Death Valley for 7:30 p.m., kick sporting a 2-1 record with wins over Gardner-Webb and UMass and a loss to App. State.

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

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