CLEMSON — Syracuse head coach Fran Brown said his comments minutes after his Orange knocked off Miami and sent Clemson to the ACC Championship Game was spontaneous.
The Tigers needed Syracuse to beat Miami to qualify for the ACC Championship Game last year, however, no one outside of Syracuse thought that was possible, especially after Miami took a 21-0 lead early in the second quarter.
However, the Orange rallied to stun the Hurricanes, 42-38. After the game, an ecstatic Brown shouted into the mic “Hey Dabo Swinney, congrats, I got you in, baby!”
For the first time since the Miami game, Brown spoke about his message to Dabo Swinney, as he meet with the media on Day 2 of ACC Football Kickoff in Charlotte.
