Dabo Swinney hasn’t spent much time in Austin, Texas, but when he does, big things happen.

Clemson’s head coach will return to Austin next week. His Tigers will play the Texas Longhorns in the first round of the expanded College Football Playoff. The game will be held at 4 p.m. on Dec. 21st at Texas’ Darrell K. Royal Stadium and will be broadcast on TNT.

Swinney’s quarterback, Cade Klubnik, played high school football at Austin’s Westlake High School and Swinney made the trip during Klubnik’s senior season to watch him play.

However, Swinney’s first trip was one he didn’t think would happen.
