What Boston College coach Steve Addazio and some of his players have to say about Clemson before the ACC confrontation in Chestnut Hill, Mass., Saturday night:

"This guy is going to be a first-round pick. He has the size, warned. He is definitely an elite guy to their standards. Their staff obviously knew exactly what they were doing. This guy is the real deal. "- Boston College coach Steve Addazio on Clemson quarterback, Trevor Lawrence

"This kid (Lawrence) can play hard. He can throw the ball, he can run. It's more of an exciting challenge. "- Boston College Connor Strachan linebacker on Trevor Lawrence

"Honestly, I would honestly say that this is perhaps the best team I've seen in my career. It's definitely the best team I've seen since I was at Boston College. They are sensational on both sides of the ball. They are explosive. They have primeurs everywhere on the ground. "- Addazio on Clemson's talent

"The buzz had already started when we came back from Tech (Virginia). We have GameDay, everyone is coming. There is a lot to win here (in Boston). We must win our place. In order for us to have some of this love, we must show ourselves (against Clemson). "- Tommy Sweeney at Boston College

"I remember Christian very well. First, he was a great player, but he had such a personality and a remarkable presence in him, a great guy. Extremely talented. Clemson obviously is an elite player who is a great model for the university. I really appreciate being able to recruit him and get to know him, and I'm sure it's a great feeling for him to be able to come back here and play in front of a lot of people who love to support him. "- Addazio on Clemson defensive tackle Christian Wilkins

"It's a legitimate and legitimate team. No. 1 in Alabama, they are 2 and it's the elite of college football right now. It will certainly be a huge challenge for us, but we can not wait to play this game right here at home in Chestnut Hill. "- Addazio on the Clemson standings in college football

"There is a reason they are where they are. This is not a fluke. I saw Dabo from a distance and did a remarkable job of recruiting and doing a great job with the whole program. They just launched it and you can see it in the field. "- Addazio on Clemson coach Dabo Swinney

"We will not get into this game and crawl into the fetal position. We will attack Clemson with everything we have and attack. It's a mandate. We will play very aggressive and let everything hang around. "- Addazio on the strategy against Clemson
