Swinney ready for once-in-81-years event in Death Valley

CLEMSON – A once-in-81-years event is happening Saturday in Clemson, and head coach Dabo Swinney is excited.

No. 5 Clemson hosts No. 14 Syracuse at noon (ABC) Saturday in Death Valley for Homecoming. The winner has the inside track to the ACC Atlantic Division title, and for the first time in the 81-season history of Memorial Stadium, Clemson will host a matchup of two undefeated teams with records of 6-0 or better.

“We've had 81 years in Death Valley and there hasn't been a matchup like this where both teams come in at least 6-0.
