Swinney on Lawrence: ‘That’s the Game He Needed’

Dabo Swinney wanted to go to sleep on Monday night, but he couldn’t.

Clemson’s head coach had to stay up to watch former Clemson stars Trevor Lawrence, Travis Etienne and the Jacksonville Jaguars beat Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in a thrilling Monday Night Football matchup.

“I was trying to go to sleep, and I couldn’t go to sleep,” Swinney said during his weekly Tuesday press conference. “I was so happy for Trevor. Just awesome. I hate it for Andy Reid because I love Andy Reid, too. It’s a long trip home when you lose a tough game like that.
