What Oklahoma and Clemson coaches said after the Orange Bowl game

Here’s what Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops and Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney had to say after the Tigers won 37-17 in the Captial One Orange Bowl on Thursday in Miami.

DABO SWINNEY, CLEMSON

On being 14-0: “Never been with a 14-0 team, so it sounds good.

On being the underdog: “Nobody believes in this team except these guys, and they just got a great heart, and it showed tonight.”

What was the key?: “I thought we physically won in the trenches.”

Ran away in the second half: “Defense rose up in the second half, man, was some huge plays, B.J., Ben Boulware.”

What’s next: “All I know is we’re going to play somebody in the Natis. That’s all I know.”

Comfortable with the lead in the fourth quarter: “We’re 51-0 when we take a lead into the fourth quarter.”

BOB STOOPS, OKLAHOMA

Bob Stoops: You have to give it to Clemson. Give them credit for making us miss tackles.
