It’s safe to say Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney was fired up during his postgame interview on ESPN following the Tigers’ 20-19 win at No. 20 Louisville on Friday night.
Swinney’s team improved to 5-5 on the season and 4-4 in ACC play with the win over the Cardinals (7-3, 4-3).
In his postgame interview on the field immediately following the game, ESPN sideline reporter Paul Carcaterra asked Swinney why he believes his squad is a special group, despite the Tigers’ record.
“Because the tougher it’s gotten, the closer they’ve become, the stronger they’ve gotten and the more they’ve dug in — and that’s not normal,” Swinney said.
