You can't be afraid to play. Commit to play and you live with the results.

The opener is always very difficult every single year. It Really doesn't matter whom you play. The opener is difficult because you've got more time to prepare for one game than you do any game the rest of the year because you've got all spring, all summer to prepare for this opponent.

It takes a lot to be Dabo Swinney, and not everyone can live this lifestyle. But, boy is it fun.

I love the Bowl system. I've always been a proponent of the Bowl system. I think it's been great for college football, for this level.

I think teams win. I don't think offense wins. I don't think defense wins. I don't think special teams - teams win.

You can't be afraid to play. Commit to play and you live with the results.

Whatever results you get, learn and grow from it and move on to the next one.
