Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian gives credit to Clemson for rebounding from in-season adversity and advancing to the College Football Playoff, a rebound he says is founded on the culture built by Dabo Swinney.
Saturday's matchup is between the No. 12-seed Tigers (10-3) and No. 5-seed Texas (11-2) in the first round of the College Football Playoff. Kickoff is set for 4 PM (EST) on TNT in the first meeting between the two teams.
“Clemson's a really good team. Dabo for a long, long time has been winning a lot of games at Clemson. I think this is their seventh College Football Playoff appearance.
