BTP: There's a ton riding on this game for both teams - for Clemson, there are CFB playoff implications as well as the Atlantic Division. What is it about Dabo that makes him so good at his teams being ready for the moment?

BL: So far the biggest thing is his message isn't stale. Players want to play for him and he wants to be coaching. I think that gives him a unique opportunity to get his team prepared for the game. I also think we as football fans tend to characterize Dabo as that ,"Awww Shuccks," type of coach and that isn't the case.
