It’s not often a coach walks up to another coach and thanks him for beating him by 60 points, but that’s exactly what happened to Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney this past May at the ACC Spring Meetings in Amelia Island, Florida.
Last year, the Tigers beat Wake Forest 63-3 behind the running of Travis Etienne, Lyn-J Dixon and Adam Choice. They each went over 100 yards on the ground as Clemson went for 471 yards as a team. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence completed 18 of 21 passes for 173 yards and two touchdowns before being pulled at halftime.
