CLEMSON, S.C. —

Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney stepped to the podium Tuesday morning to meet with members of the media and look ahead to Saturday afternoon's contest against Troy (3:30 PM, ACC Network).

"This is our third time to play them," Swinney said of the Trojans. "The last time was our national championship year in 2016, we played them, and the score was 30-24. In 2011, our first ACC championship year, we played them. We were down at half. Everybody was booing and saying some bad names to me as I was going off the field." Latest Forecast
