MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- Steve Spurrier hung up the ol’ visor in October, but he has his fingerprints all over the College Football Playoff Semifinal at the Capital One Orange Bowl.
He served as Chief Mentor to Bob Stoops.
He served as Chief Agitator to Dabo Swinney.
Perhaps neither would be here without him.
Clemson fans might be chuckling right now, considering the constant barbs the two traded over the years, leaving many to wonder whether they disliked each other or were putting on a grand show. We will get to their relationship in a bit.
