In his weekly teleconference on Sunday, Clemson’s Dabo Swinney discussed overcoming adversity. He mentioned other times when his teams fought back from tough spots in his 13 years as head coach.
But nobody on Clemson’s current roster have experienced similar adversity.
“Sometimes you have a better opportunity to teach and lead young men in a moment like this,” Swinney said. “We haven’t had many of these moments, when we teach them we pick them up and it’s not always going to be perfect.”
Entering this season, the Tigers had lost just seven games dating back to 2015 including just three games in the regular season.
