College football bowl season sometimes means time away from friends and family at Christmas, but head coach Dabo Swinney is making sure his team gets in a little celebration while preparing for the Gator Bowl.
Clemson practiced for 90 minutes at Fernandina Beach High School on Christmas Eve and will take to the practice fields again today as it prepares to take on Kentucky in the Gator Bowl this Friday (noon, ESPN).
“This was a Monday-type practice, and it was a good start. Guys had great energy. Everybody was here and ready to roll,” Swinney said Sunday evening after practice.
