Dabo Swinney's ACC Championship Press Conference Notes

Here is a quick look at some of what Coach Swinney had to say moments ago. Click here for the full transcription.

On the team:

"This team has been a lot of fun to be around. Last year we were picked to be here, and we were here. This year we weren't picked to be here, and we are here. Ready to get it going tomorrow night. Just thankful for the opportunity to be here."

On the experience advantage:

"Experience, I think at this point, we are at game 13, and they are into game 12. These are two experienced teams. This game is no different than any other game. Trust me their team has big game experience. They've been on the road, and they've made huge plays to win games. They will draw on that."

On the turnover chain:

"The name of the game is points. They've had an unbelievable year, we've scored 79 points off turnovers, they've scored 72 points off turnovers. Both teams have had great years. We've scored a non-offensive touchdown in five road games. That's what we focus on every single week. This game isn't going to come down to a chain. It's going to come down to players making plays."

Kelly Bryant's prep:

"Good Monday practice, Tuesday practice, we don't do anything different. We believe in how we prepare. We study the opponent and get yourself physically and mentally ready to go."

On Kelly Bryant:

"He's a winner. The best of the best make everyone around them better. He was a great student in high school. To really embrace the stage and the platform his had. I didn't recruit him to de Deshaun; I recruited him to be Kelly Bryant. The best part about Kelly is about how guys are developing when they aren't playing. What I love about Kelly is that for two years he had a front row seat to watch Deshaun Watson and I think he really took note of that. He put the work in. He prepared every week to go be the guy. It's been fun to watch him grow and mature. He's a new player, but he's a very mature new player."

Swinney on how social media impacts coaching hires:

"If there had been a cyber-jury in '08, I wouldn't have gotten the job."

Hunter Renfrow this time of year:

"I love it. Orange britches come out, and he just shows up. He's a joy to be around every day. He's another great young man. If you meet him, you'd never know that's Hunter Renfrow. Really proud of him, he's had a phenomenal journey. He's still developing. We still have some work to do with him before he's a finished guy, but he's going to be a great pro one day. He's very gifted. He's become a complete receiver now."

Miami players being hurt:

"They got plenty of weapons. It's kind of like us, we have Tre Lamar out, Marcus Fields out, but other players will step up. When you look at their roster, they will have guys ready to go. I hate it for those two young men though, they've worked hard, and they were a part of their (Miami's) success. They've got some guys; there is no doubt about it."
