SAN JOSE, Calif. — Two years ago, Dabo Swinney led Clemson to its first national championship in football in 35 years.
It was one of the greatest seasons in Clemson football history, capped when Deshaun Watson found Hunter Renfrow for a 2-yard touchdown with one second to go to beat Alabama in the 2017 CFP National Championship Game in Tampa, Fla.
Now, two years later, Swinney once again has his team on the doorstep of another championship and once again his Tigers have to go through Alabama to win a second national championship in three years. Clemson plays ‘Bama Monday night at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif.
