Paul Johnson knows that Clemson is going to come out fired up on Saturday night as they look to get back into the win column. The Georgia Tech coach expects the Tigers' fans to set the tone by creating a rowdy road environment, according to TigerNet.com writer David Hood.
Clemson is coming off their bye week following a 27-24 loss at Syracuse on Oct. 13 which knocked them from the ranks of the undefeated.
Georgia Tech bounced back from a one-point loss at Miami with a 14-point victory at home vs. Wake Forest.
Johnson is aware the Yellow Jackets will have to brace the elements in order to have the chance to create a winning streak.
“It’s a good home-field advantage. They pack 80,000 in there and they’re loud,” Johnson said. “Virginia Tech is also hard to play at night games too. There’s a couple. There’s no question that going in there Saturday night on national TV, they’re going to be wound up.”
Meanwhile, Clemson coach Dabo Swinney was effusive in his praise for Georgia Tech.
"This is a 4-2 team but truly, literally two plays away from being undefeated," coach Dabo Swinney said at his Tuesday press conference, per TigerIllustrated.com. "[Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson] has done an awesome job getting them in a position to win. We're in for a big fight."
The matchup is slated for 8 p.m. (EST) and will be televised on ABC/ESPN2.
