Swinney says Fighting Irish are good, but so are Tigers

CLEMSON – Head coach Dabo Swinney says his Tigers are set to face a really good Notre Dame team on Saturday. But he thinks he has a pretty good team, too.

Clemson (4-4, 2-4) is off to its worst start since 2010 and hosts No.12 Notre Dame (7-2) on Saturday. Clemson lost 24-17 at NC State last weekend, while the Fighting Irish destroyed Pitt 58-7.

"I'm thankful for another opportunity to compete. This is a really, really good team we're about to face. I think we're a good team, too. We just haven't done the things we've needed to do to have a better record,” Swinney said Tuesday.
