Dabo Swinney paid up national title game bet made with Nick Saban

When Clemson lost to Alabama in January’s national championship game, it didn’t mark the last time Dabo Swinney came up on the short end with Nick Saban.

During his annual ESPN ACC coaches “Car Wash” appearance Monday, “SportsCenter” anchor Hannah Storm asked the Tigers coach if he ever followed through on the friendly bet he and Saban made in a joint interview with her as the loser of the January title game.

Swinney said he did and he gave the backstory behind it, too, which all went down this past St. Patrick’s Day in Boca Grande, Florida.
