Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney cannot wait to kick things off Saturday when his second-ranked Tigers host Furman in the season-opener at Death Valley in Clemson.
Swinney is so excited he will not even stretch before touching Howard’s Rock and charging down the Hill onto Frank Howard Field in full sprint just prior to kickoff.
“Have you ever seen a dog stretch before he runs off the porch,” Swinney said. “There ain’t much for me to stretch in there, Man. I just go!”
Like their head coach, the Tigers are anxious to get on the field too when the game kicks off at 12:20 p.
