Swinney Responds To ACC’s 8-Game League Schedule

CLEMSON, S.C. (CU SID) — Clemson head football coach Dabo Swinney gave his comments Wednesday after the ACC’s decision to keep playing eight conference games. “I think this is great for us and great for our conference. With our continued rivalry with South Carolina as an annual non-conference game, and Notre Dame playing each ACC school twice in a six-year period, it was going to be difficult to keep the door open to play two-game series like we have had recently with Auburn and will have next year with Georgia. “This will also give us flexibility in our schedule and to have seven home games going forward. That is very important for our community from an economic standpoint as well. I am glad we will continue to play eight conference games a year.”
