Dabo Swinney has been in college football for a long time and he’s never been to the Cotton Bowl, while Clemson hasn’t played in one of the sport’s most iconic bowl games in 79 years. For both Swinney and the Tigers, it promises to be a trip to remember.
No. 2 Clemson will take on No. 3 Notre Dame in the Cotton Bowl as part of the College Football Playoff Semifinals. The game will kick off at 4 pm on Dec. 29 and will be televised by ESPN. Instead of being played in the old Cotton Bowl Stadium, the game will be played at AT&T Stadium, the home of the Dallas Cowboys of the NFL.
