They Said it: Clawson Enjoys Watching Clemson’s Offense

CLEMSON – Each week the media who cover the Clemson Tigers gets to hear from head coach Dabo Swinney and a few selected coaches and players. They hear from the Tigers’ next opponent.

Here are this week’s top quotes from Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney, Wake Forest head coach Dave Clawson, and select Clemson players.

Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney on playing Wake Forest

“Well coached, play hard every snap, fundamentally sound, incredibly discipline…always a hard-fought battle and I don’t expect anything different.”

Wake Forest’s Dave Clawson on Clemson’s offense:

“I think they’ve found their sweet spot…I’d enjoy watching it if we didn’t have to play against them”

Clemson defensive coordinator Wes Goodwin on Wake Forest’s quarterback:

“He’s a veteran guy, played a lot of ball. He’s tough, he’s going to stand in there and take hits. He’s a really gritty young man.”

Clemson Defensive end Peter Woods on having consistency:

“I think that we just have to play our keys and have great eye discipline…If we play our scheme with 110-percent consistency and confidence then we shouldn’t have a problem.”

Clawson on Clemson quarterback Cade Klubnik:

“I don’t know what they did in the off season down there with him, but he looks bigger, stronger, and faster. He’s a good pocket passer but what really scares you is some of the plays he makes with his feet.”

Klubnik on the Demon Deacons Defense:

“A tough team, they’re well coached. Very disciplined team and what they do, they do it really well. They’re a team that’s never going to quit…a team that you know you’re going to have to play all four quarters against them.”

Clawson said he needs his fans to show up and be loud:

“We know we need people to show up…we had a home field advantage in this game two years ago and it helped, and it would be great if we had it again.”
