Clemson's Swinney not projecting ‘a 6-3 game’ vs. Vols in Orange Bowl

Clemson and Tennessee are playing in the Orange Bowl on Dec. 30 at Hard Rock Stadium. The Tigers have one of the top-scoring offenses in college football. Tennessee's offense is ranked No. 6 in CFP rankings. Clemson's defense is rated No 7. Both teams were in contention for the playoff. They will wear orange helmets with white jerseys and orange pants.  Tennessee's coach Josh Heupel is sure there will be a lot of orange in their uniforms. He upels never projects scoring totals before a pairing. It's the highest-rated matchup of teams not in four-team playoff standings.

The Vols landed two transfer students through the transfer portal Wednesday. McCallan Castles, a tight end from California, transferred from UC Davis. Charles Campbell, who played for Indiana this season, is coming home to the Volunteer State.

Hendon Hooker is the Southeastern Conference's offensive player of the year. He was also named the league's player earlier this week by the Associated Press.

Young accepted an invitation to play in the Senior Bowl in 2023. Georgia and Michigan are the finalists for the Joe Moore Award as college football's top offensive line.
