Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney praised Tyler Brown, a true freshman wide receiver, who didn't practice all week but made a huge touchdown in the game against Notre Dame. Swinney also highlighted the team's performance in the red zone, holding Notre Dame to field goals. He mentioned that the close loss to FSU was a turning point for the team's season. Swinney dismissed the notion that Tyler from Spartanburg provided extra motivation for the team. Clemson defeated Notre Dame with a 24-9 lead in the first half, which Swinney considered the most complete half they've played all year.
