CLEMSON, S.C. -- With an easy smile and a stress-free attitude, Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said his team is right where it expected to be and ready for the next challenge.The third-ranked Tigers (12-1, No. 2 College Football Playoff) returned to campus this week to start practice for its national semifinal matchup with No. 2 Ohio State (11-1; No. 3 CFP) at the Fiesta Bowl on New Years Eve.If Swinney is concerned about Clemsons mindset or the pressure of trying to reach the national title game again after last years runner-up finish to Alabama, he didnt show it Tuesday as he stood in the programs festively decorated team room.At the end of day, were where we wanted to be, Swinney said. We wanted to be in the final four, thats where we are. Weve got a shot to get back to the championship.Oh, Swinney said there will be lots of time to zero in on the Buckeyes stellar defense and knack for making the decisive play on offense when it counts most. Right now, hell focus getting the Tigers football legs back under them before leaving for Arizona on Dec. 26.For Swinney, that means re-committing to football fundamentals that may have gotten sloppy in Clemsons weekly grind to the Atlantic Coast Conference title, which the Tigers captured earlier this month with a 42-35 win over Virginia Tech . Hell have the Tigers best players go against each other like the do during August scrimmages, something teams dont always have the luxury of doing much once the regular-season starts.Clemsons staff has been locked onto the Buckeyes since re-gathering this past weekend and Swinney said nearly all preparations for the Fiesta Bowl will be complete before the team leaves campus the day after Christmas. Hes been on other staffs where coaches have left key parts of game plans under wraps until the handful of bowl-site workouts -- which Swinney believes can lead to problematic results.Its really not the best environment to get major work done that late, he said. Game week is about details, its polishing.The Tigers have players whove been polished to a lustrous shine in recent seasons.Swinney believes his experienced group will approach the game the way they have each week of the regular season and as they did before last years title game. Eight Clemson offensive starters played in the 45-40 loss to Alabama last January. The Tigers have remained in the moment and have not let themselves peek too far ahead as this season unfolded.Its about just be great where your feet are, Swinney said.Defensive coordinator Brent Venables said the week is about reminding players to go fast, but with discipline.We try and give our guys a refresher course, he said.Ben Boulware, who won the Jack Lambert Award last week as college footballs top linebacker, said the Tigers havent forgotten the sick feeling in the locker room after the Alabama loss in the same stadium that theyll play Ohio State. Boulware said he and his teammates have rallied around leaving that stadium as winners this time.The hunger has been there from day one, been there since January, he said. It will continue to be there until the last game.Returning to practice was also a return to normalcy for Clemsons Deshaun Watson, who won the Davey OBrien and Johnny Unitas awards this month. However, he finished behind Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson for the Heisman Trophy and ACC player of the year.On Tuesday, Watson also was runner-up to Jackson in The Associated Press college football Player of the Year voting.Swinney said his quarterback has put the award season behind him and is preparing to leave Clemson with a national championship.He said it best himself, he just wants to win. That stuffs so subjective, the coach said of the awards. But the trophy they give you after the last game of the season is played, there aint no vote on that one. That ones earned.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org Tyson Chandler Jersey .

Texas A&M and Arkansas will present an interesting contrast in quarterbacks on Saturday (9 p.m. ET) when they clash at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.Graduate transfer Trevor Knight, who had 15 starts in his first two years at Oklahoma before losing his job to Baker Mayfield in 2015, will lead the No. 10 Aggies (3-0, 1-0 SEC).Junior Austin Allen, the understudy to his brother Brandon the last two seasons, will be behind center for the 17th-ranked Razorbacks (3-0, 0-0).Both seem to be exactly what their respective teams have needed in the early going.Knight, who won the starting job in the spring after coming to College Station in January, has passed for 830 yards and five touchdowns despite completing only 52.9 percent of his passes.Part of the reason for Knights low completion percentage is that he was on target on only half of his 40 attempts against Auburn last week. But Knight was the victim of some drops and also had a long completion to Ricky Seals-Jones nullified when the wide receiver had a foot land inches out of bounds.When it counted, Knight was 8 of 11 after falling behind at Auburn to help the Aggies take a 10-7 lead. He ended up passing for 247 yards and rushing for a net 42 against the Tigers.He was really good early, Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin said of Knight. For him to play the way he did really gave us a chance to get ahead.Knight also has rushed for 151 yards in the three games on 28 carries.I think hes a deceptive big man with speed, Arkansas coach Bret Bielema said. Hes got good size. They list him at 6-foot-1 and 215. To me he looks a lot taller than that, and moves.Allen has been the straw that stirs the drink for Arkansas.In the win over TCU in Week 2, he was named SEC Player of Week after passing for 233 yards and three touchdowns on 17-of-29 passing. Allens 5-yard run in the second overtime gave the Razorbacks a 41-38 victory.He wasnt all that pressed last week in the 42-3 rout of Texas State, but still was 16-of-21 passing for 241 yards and two more touchhdowns.dddddddddddd.Allen has completed 67.1 percent of his passes for the year for an average of 218.3 yards a game with seven touchdowns against two picks.He is just the fourth quarterback to go 3-0 in his first three collegiate starts for Arkansas since it joined the SEC in the 1992 season. The others were Tyler Wilson in 2011, Mitch Mustain in 2006, and Robby Hampton in 2000. His seven touchdown passes over that span are tied with Ryan Mallett (2009) and Mustain for the high in that category over that same span.Austin does a lot of things very well, Bielema said. I think he throws on the move very well, and he throws well to the left and to the right which youve seen a little glimpse of.He can run the football, but I wouldnt say we want to make a heavy dose of it. That jump cut he gave to his left wasnt quite as good as our running backs, but it sufficed. Im just excited to watch him continue to grow.The Aggies, however, will be the toughest test yet for Allen when it comes to facing pressure.They have two perimeter rushers that are as good as anybody in the country, Bielema said.That would be ends Daeshon Hall, a 6-foot-6, 270-pound senior, and Myles Garrett, a 6-5, 270-pound junior. Together, they averaged 1.5 sacks a game in 2015 with Garrett leading the SEC with 12.5 total. Garrett also had 10 quarterback hurries. Hall had 7.0 sacks and another four hurries.This season, Garrett has three sacks and four hurries. Hall is looking for his first sack, but has been credited with three hurries.The two teams will be meeting in Arlington for a third consecutive season and seventh time overall. The first meeting in Arlington was way back in 1906 when the Aggies won 6-0.So far, the five games at AT&T Stadium have gone the way of streaks. Arkansas won the first three from 2009-11. The Aggies have won the last two in Arlington and the last four meetings overall. ' ' '
