Clemson coach Dabo Swinney takes questions from the media Thursday

Thursday was media day in Scottsdale for the Playstation Fiesta Bowl. Clemson and Ohio State coaches and players spent an hour with the media answering every conceivable question. The players on both sides seem ready to play, confident in their gameplans and respectful of the other side. Dabo Swinney said his guys are healthy. Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields said he will be wearing his knee brace in the game, and he’s wearing it for safety reasons. Clemson is a two point favorite. The Tigers have won 28 straight games, the Buckeyes are on a 19 game winning streak.
