Swinney looks to elite players in challenge of beating Georgia in opener

CHARLOTTE, NC – Elite players on both sides of the ball, a small margin for error, and a game won in the trenches. Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney already knows what it will take to beat the Georgia Bulldogs in six weeks when the teams open the 2021 season.

The Tigers and Bulldogs will kick it off on Sept. 4th at Bank of America Stadium, which sits just a few blocks from the Westin Charlotte, where Swinney spoke with media as part of the ACC Football Kickoff. Swinney, gathered in front of the largest crowd of reporters and microphones seen during the two-day event, said he remembers all too well what happened to his team when it traveled to Athens in 2014.
