Dabo Swinney criticizes Clemson's first practice after classes resume

Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney expressed frustration with his team's performance during practice on August 20, following the start of classes on August 19. He labeled the session as the worst of training camp due to numerous mental errors and offside penalties, particularly from players on the fringes of the roster. Swinney aimed to give these players a chance to prove themselves as the regular season approaches. He cautioned that the footage from this practice could clarify decisions regarding the final roster.
