Swinney prepares for Gamecocks: "You live with this one for 365 days"

It doesn’t get any better than rivalry week in the Palmetto St., and Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney is almost as excited as the fans.

No. 2 Clemson (11-0) hosts South Carolina (6-4) this weekend at 7 pm in Death Valley, and the Tigers are looking for a fifth consecutive win in the series. For Swinney, it’s the second championship the Tigers want to win this season – they’ve already clinched the ACC Atlantic Division title, hope to win the state championship against South Carolina and have the ACC Championship against Pitt the following week.

"Means the same to me that it means to everyone else in this state - the state championship,” Swinney said Sunday night.
