Swinney says veteran defenders 'set the tone' for Clemson's win at Syracuse

Opening statement: "Really proud of our team and our staff for responding the way they did. A good win for us. Our two sixth-year seniors (Mascoll & Thomas) really set the tone for the game. We had a little adversity late, and it was good to see us respond to the adversity in the game."

Swinney on Klubnik: "I thought he was outstanding. Had some huge plays in the game. Some big scrambles vs. the pressure.
