JACKSONVILLE, FL – Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney still sees the importance of bowl games and hopes to use the Gator Bowl as a momentum builder heading into the 2024 season.
Clemson faces off against Kentucky Friday at noon (ESPN) in the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl at EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville.
The advent of the College Football Playoff, which expands to 12 teams next season, and the opt-outs and transfers that lead to depleted rosters – have taken some of the luster off of bowl season. But Swinney still sees value in the bow games even while others are taking less interest.
