CLEMSON — There was a little deja vu for Dabo Swinney during eighth-ranked Clemson’s 27-16 comeback win over Troy on Saturday.
The first time the two teams played back in 2011, during Chad Morris’s first game as the offensive coordinator, Troy took a 16-13 lead into halftime. As the teams headed to the locker room for the break, boos rained down from the stands inside Memorial Stadium. The Tigers responded, though, outscoring the Trojans 30-3 over the final two quarters.
This time around, Troy jumped up on Clemson 16-0 about midway through the second quarter. Once again the boo birds came out.
