CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) -
Clemson coach Dabo Swinney wants his
18th-ranked Tigers to enjoy the excitement as they prepare for
Virginia and what could be a spot in the Atlantic Coast Conference
title game.
Swinney is confident, though, that the Tigers (7-3, 5-2 ACC)
won't be distracted by crazed fans or giddy classmates and will
work just as hard as they have all season.
Clemson can clinch the ACC's Atlantic Division with a victory
over the last-place Cavaliers (3-7, 2-4). The Tigers have won five
in a row since starting the season 2-3.
Swinney says he knew in early September after Clemson rallied
from a 24-0 deficit before losing 30-27 at Georgia that his club
has a chance to be special.
