Johnson on if Clemson’s multimillion dollar facility gives it a leg up competitively: “Well, it certainly doesn’t hurt them. I’m not sure that just that one aspect changes anything, but I think that just the overall commitment to the program, not just with facilities, but with budgets, with personnel, with all those kind of things. “You know, every school is different.

But what we’ve got to do is sell what we have that’s positive. “But you want — certainly it’s not going to hurt you to have those kind of facilities, that’s for sure.” Marshall on Clemson’s defense, defensive line: “They were definitely the toughest for sure. To me, Georgia had a pretty tough defense, Clemson to me was a pretty tough defense. Everybody is going to talk about their D-Line for the next couple of days and probably the rest of this year. “If they stay healthy then they are by far the best D-Line you will see play in college football, in my opinion, and I’m sure other people will say the same thing. They are the best group you will see come through this game.” Mitchell and Marshall on only winning two games since October 21st: “Last season was last season,” Marshall said. “This is probably the only sport that you get to start over completely… 0-0. We are going to take it one game at a time starting September 1st. You just have to take it one game at a time. You focus on the things you need to know that game.
