TOMMY BOWDEN (Head Coach, Clemson) “The Chick-fil-A Bowl does a great job of translating the experience to the team, with the entertainment for the players and the hospitality. Geographically, it's great because we're in a location where our players’ families can come. Playing indoors is a big deal – our players are getting to practice and play on a field that they hope to play on someday. With their hospitality, sponsorship and facilities, this is as good as any bowl, including the BCS bowls.”
#54 QUENTIN GROVES (Auburn) “I love it man, it’s a great bowl. I spoke to some of my colleagues around college football and they say they like the Chick-fil-A Bowl better than any other bowl. I think because it’s the type of people you are around. That speaks volumes for the bowl game as well as the people they have working the bowl game. I thank God that we got a chance to even be in this bowl game.”
