Finebaum defends Swinney, blames someone else for FSU mess

It is not often Paul Finebaum takes Dabo Swinney’s side on things, but that is exactly what the ESPN personality did Tuesday morning on the Get up show on ESPN.

Swinney has been blasted by most in the national media for his Sunday night call with the Clemson media after he called out Florida State’s administration for postponing Saturday’s game three hours before kickoff. The game was postponed after Clemson had a player test positive for COVID-19 the Friday night before the game was to be played.

Clemson isolated the player, who did not show any symptoms and already passed three COVID test earlier in the week and flew him home immediately.
