Dabo Swinney said he loved what he saw in this year’s Orange vs. White Clemson spring game.
“We’ve got the ingredients. We’ve just got a lot of work to do,” Swinney told ACC Network hosts Mark Packer and Taylor Tannebaum during an exclusive appearance on ACC PM Monday. “I think we’ve got an eager group that’s got some good self-awareness. We’ve got good leadership on both sides.”
Over the course of a 19-minute interview, Swinney touched on several topics, including:
-what he learned from his team in this year’s spring game
-five-star recruits Bryant Wesco and Sammy Brown, and the team’s receiving room and linebacker corps
-the need for running back Phil Mafah to become a tone-setter on offense
-what he’s seen from quarterback Cade Klubnik this spring, as well as the impressive performance by backup QB Trent Pearman in the Orange vs. White game
-where he plans to use Peter Woods on defense
-Garrett Riley being settled in ahead of his second season as Clemson’s offensive coordinator
