If you're planning your Saturday around the Tigers, Clemson is coming off its most complete game of the season and heads to Syracuse. Coach Dabo Swinney talked with media Tuesday: "I still think our best football is in front of us."

Swinney said five young players, Barclay, Grant Wise, Caddis, Blanchard and Easton Ware, will have to "kinda fill the void until we can get a couple of these guys back." He also looked back at last year's 34-21 loss to the Orange.

“They kicked our teeth in in the first half, and we didn't wake up until the third quarter.”
