The ACC Championship is tonight at 8:00 P.M. from Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte. Top-ranked Clemson and 10th-ranked North Carolina.
With all the offensive firepower that will take the field, both head coaches are talking about defense.
Specifically Tiger Coach Dabo Swinney says turnovers are a definite factor in the game. He said, “You don’t want to give a team like North Carolina a short field, and they don’t want to give us a short field. So, the turnover margin, probably which defense can get the most stops, that’s probably the difference in the game.”
A Tiger win secures Clemson’s place in the College Football Playoff.
A UNC victory will give North Carolina its first ACC championship in 35 years, and possibly open a window to the football playoffs, if Alabama loses.
Tar Heel Coach Larry Fedora, who now has a new seven year deal with UNC, clearly says Clemson is better than any other opponent Carolina has faced this season. He said, “This is the best offense we’ve faced this year, no doubt about it, and this is the best defense we have faced this year. This is the best football team we have faced. They are the number one team in the country, and they’ve been that way for how many weeks? 10 weeks? A long time, as long as you guys can remember, so they’re really good. They’re really good.”
