Swinney says 'records don't matter' in division battle with Florida State

CLEMSON – Just looking at its 4-3 record, the casual observer might not think Florida State won’t be a challenge for second-ranked Clemson, but head coach Dabo Swinney says not so fast.

The Seminoles got off to a slow start under first-year head coach Willie Taggart, but seem to be hitting their stride as of late and Swinney knows his team has a challenge on its hands at noon on Saturday in Tallahassee.

“We've got another big challenge ahead of us this week. Having a few days to dive into Florida State, they're still Florida State,” Swinney said during his Tuesday press conference.
