ESPN host comes to the aid of Dabo Swinney

Rece Davis, the host of ESPN’s College GameDay Show, sees nothing wrong with Dabo Swinney expressing optimism and hope right now during what is a difficult time as the nation continues its quarantine in hopes of beating the COVID-19 virus.

Swinney took a lot of heat and criticism from the media, college football fans and others on social media Friday after he said he had “zero doubt” they will be playing college football in the fall. He was asked during a media teleconference Friday if it comes down to it, whether he would prefer to see the season begin as scheduled with an abbreviated preseason camp, or delay the season until the spring so everything can be on a full schedule.
