5 things Texas A&M fans need to know about Clemson: Tigers tout the nation's best defensive line

Texas A&M welcomes the No. 2 Clemson Tigers to town this weekend. The game is drawing exceptional hype and will be the host of ESPN's 'College GameDay' before kicking off in a primetime TV slot of 6 p.m.

Here are five things to know about the Tigers:

1. Jimbo Fisher and Dabo Swinney are no strangers

Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney told local reporters Tuesday that he was not too familiar with Texas A&M's team. However, he should be familiar with its head coach.

Saturday's matchup between the Aggies and Tigers will be the ninth contest between the two premier head coaches, Swinney and Jimbo Fisher, who previously went head-to-head in the ACC.
