DALLAS — Just because they’re spending Christmas in Dallas this year doesn’t mean the Clemson Tigers are not celebrating the holiday season.
The second-ranked Tigers, who will play Notre Dame in the Cotton Bowl Classic on Saturday at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, enjoyed Christmas like everyone else, celebrating with their families and friends. However, they also had a little bit of work mixed in as they continued to prepare for the College Football Playoff Semifinal Game.
“For the great majority of the team, this is the first time they’ve ever been away from home for Christmas,” Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney said in a statement after Tuesday’s practice.
