Dabo Swinney explains importance of Clemson winning season-opener vs. Georgia Tech

Clemson is a heavy favorite over Georgia Tech in its season-opener this weekend in Atlanta.

As coach Dabo Swinney pointed out on Thursday morning, whether or not the Tigers have won their season-opener has proved to be a fairly accurate indicator of how their season will go.

Swinney noted that Clemson’s ACC Championship teams are 23-1-2 all-time in season-openers. And since he took over, his 7 ACC title teams are undefeated in Week 1. The same goes for his 6 College Football Playoff squads.
