Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney always talks about the journey of a football season. A college football season does not begin in September at a football stadium packed with 80,000 people.
Instead, it starts in January at 5:30 each morning when players get out of bed, while the rest of us are sleeping, and begin training for a new season.
The Clemson football team, now in its 13th full season under Swinney, takes its next step today in its 2021 journey. The Tigers open Spring practice this afternoon behind the Allen Reeves Football Complex in Clemson.
