TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Less than 24 hours after his team was upset on the road at Syracuse, Clemson coach Dabo Swinney was in Tuscaloosa for a reunion of Alabama's 1992 national championship team.
Swinney, who grew up in nearby Pelham, Alabama, walked on to the team under then-coach Gene Stallings and played wide receiver. On Saturday, he joined Stallings and others on the field at Bryant-Denny Stadium before No. 1 Alabama's game against Arkansas.
Swinney, who wore neither Clemson orange nor Alabama crimson, was all smiles as he greeted his former teammates, hugging and taking photos.
