Aggies say they can handle Death Valley noise, see weakness in Clemson secondary

Texas A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher has gone out of his way this week to compliment head coach Dabo Swinney, the Clemson program, and even the Clemson fan base. His players didn’t get the memo.

No. 1 Clemson and No. 12 Texas A&M tangle this weekend in Death Valley in a 3:30 p.m. kick (ABC) that promises to be one of the best games of the early season. Fisher, who is familiar with Clemson after his days at FSU, spent a portion of his press conference this week calling Clemson a classy fan base.

Offensive lineman Jared Hocker was guaranteeing an upset, however, and many of his teammates didn’t hold back on their opinions of Clemson, last year’s 28-26 victory by the Tigers, Death Valley or this year’s game.
