ORLANDO – “Elaborate” is the word of the day in Orlando, according to Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney, who says his program is in as good of a shape as it’s ever been.
Clemson and Iowa State play Wednesday in the Cheez-It Bowl. The contest is slated for a 5:45 p.m. kickoff on ESPN in Orlando’s Camping World Stadium. At 9-3, No. 19 Clemson will enter the Cheez-It Bowl in search of its 11th consecutive 10-win season. A victory would tie Clemson Head Coach Dabo Swinney (10-7 career bowl record) with Bobby Bowden for the most bowl victories in conference history, as 11 of Bowden’s 21 career bowl wins came during Florida State’s membership in the ACC.
