CLEMSON – Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney doesn’t hand out grades based on a curve, and he doesn’t ask his pupils to work for extra credit. Swinney grades on one thing: winning.
No. 5 Clemson sits a 5-0 overall and 3-0 in the ACC after five games. Two of those ACC wins have come against Wake Forest and NC State, the two teams many thought were poised to keep the Tigers away from an ACC Atlantic Division crown.
Big games remain – the Tigers are at Boston College this weekend, and then travel to Florida State the following week.
