Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said he felt a "pain that's hard to describe" following his team's 34-21 home loss to Syracuse on Saturday, which dropped the Tigers to 1-3 and his worst start as the Tigers' head coach.

"This is a bad, bad feeling. Terrible," Swinney said. "This is what we do. This is our passion. We work incredibly hard to get results that we want to get, and when we don't get them, it's a pain that's hard to describe, but it comes with the territory. So we gotta flush it. That's all we can do.
