Clemson defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence spoke to the media during media day in Clemson earlier this week as the Tigers get set to play Notre Dame in the College Football Playoff at the Cotton Bowl on Dec. 29 in Arlington, Texas.
The Tigers are four quarters away from playing in the national championship game for the third time in four seasons.
Question: What is the excitement level preparing for a program like Notre Dame?
Lawrence: They have great skill guys, strong talented lines and we have to come ready to play. That’s why this time we have is so important to get our bodies and minds ready for the hardest four quarters we have played all year.
