It seems as though not everybody agreed with Dabo Swinney’s decision to try for an onside kick in the third quarter of the Tigers’ eventual 56-10 win at Boston College Friday night. And that’s ok. He doesn’t have to make an angry segment of the fans happy, and he doesn’t have to make sportswriters happy.
He’s trying to win the national championship that eluded the school last season.
In case you missed it, and I doubt you did, Clemson went for an onside kick up 35-3 in the third quarter against Boston College, following the second of Deon Cain’s two touchdown receptions.
