No. 3 Clemson takes on Wake Forest Saturday in Death Valley on Senior Day (ABC, 3:30 pm). The Tigers are 10-0 overall and 7-0 in the ACC and have moved into the “championship phase” of the season. That started with the Tigers breaking out the orange britches for last Saturday’s win over NC State – Wake lost earlier in the day at Virginia Tech and the Tigers clinched the ACC Atlantic with the win over the Wolfpack.
Swinney is known for his late-season sweatshirts, but there is more to it than that – he switches his hats to the traditional block C when the calendar turns into November.
