Over the past decade, Clemson has only won its special Orange Britches when a championship was on the line. Whether that be a division title, a state title, a conference title, or a bowl game.
On Saturday night, on the road at Boston College, Dabo Swinney chose to break those britches out. The last time he did that without a championship on the line was back in 2015.
However, what some may not remember was back in 2008, when the Tigers were 3-4 and Swinney was still an interim coach looking for his first win, Clemson broke out the Orange Britches on the road against Boston College.
