Magical and historic. That’s how Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney described the Tigers’ upcoming matchup with Texas.
Swinney addressed media members to discuss Clemson’s trip to Austin, Texas, where the Tigers (10-3) will take on No. 5 Texas (11-2) in the first round of the College Football playoff. Kickoff in Darrell K. Royal Stadium is set for 4 pm (EST) on December 21st.
"We're super excited about being in the playoff. We knew we had to win the championship against a really tough SMU team. Now we know where we're going,” Swinney said. “I went out to Austin when I got the job at Clemson and spent a few days with coach Mack Brown and that was very impactful for me.
