Swinney challenged his players to save college football

Dabo Swinney admitted after hearing there was talk the Big Ten was seriously discussing postponing their football season, he wondered if anyone would get to play college football this season.

This was the Saturday before the Big Ten and Pac-12 announced their decisions to postpone the fall sports season on Aug. 11. Prior to that moment, Swinney and his Clemson team felt good about playing, especially when they began walkthroughs in mid-July.

However, just a few days after the Tigers began fall camp, Swinney received an email that warned him the Big Ten could cancel their season.
