Dabo Swinney and the Clemson Tigers College Football Playoffs hopes shrunk drastically when they fell 17-14 to rivals South Carolina on Saturday, but they didn’t disappear thanks to another ACC program.
Syracuse took care of business for the Tigers, picking up a massive upset win over Miami and sending Clemson to the ACC Championship. From heartbreak to hope, it was a huge moment for both Syracuse and Clemson. It was a huge moment for Syracuse, as it was first-year head coach Fran Brown’s biggest win with the program.
Following the game, in an interview with ESPN, Brown made sure Dabo Swinney knew what the Orange did for Clemson.
“Hey Dabo Swinney, Congrats! I got you in Baby,” said Brown.
It is now on Clemson to take advantage, who will face No. 9 SMU next Saturday in Charlotte for the ACC Championship and an automatic bid to the playoff.
