ORLANDO, Fla. — It is cliché to say turnovers are the great equalizer in football, especially when one team is loaded with blue-chip recruits. But that’s exactly the case when it comes to third-ranked Clemson.
“When we have had two or more (turnovers), hang on to your hat,” Swinney said on Friday as part of the ACC Championship Game Press Conference at Orlando’s Camping World Stadium.
The Tigers enter Saturday night’s championship Game (8 p.m., ABC) against No. 18 Virginia Tech ranked 71st nationally in turnover margin and ninth in the ACC. Clemson has turned the ball over 23 times this season, and like Swinney indicated, when it does it two or more times, they’ve struggled.
