Swinney credits BC, Notre Dame over Florida State

When it comes to the ACC’s guidelines and protocols for COVID-19, Dabo Swinney thinks Florida State’s administration must have amnesia.

Clemson’s head coach was not happy with FSU’s decision to cancel Saturday’s game in Tallahassee because of COVID-19 reasons.

“This game was not canceled because of COVID. It was just an excuse to cancel the game,” he said.

Swinney and Clemson athletic director Dan Radakovich said Sunday night they did everything the ACC outlined for its member institutions to follow in its COVID-19 protocols.

Florida State’s medical personnel, however, still felt uncomfortable and decided they did not want their players to play because they were concerned about possible contact tracing issues.
