Swinney recalls his final conversation with Bobby Bowden

The last time Clemson’s Dabo Swinney spoke with Hall of Fame head coach Bobby Bowden was two weeks ago, while he sat in the same end zone where Bowden’s Florida State Seminoles ran perhaps the most famous trick play in the history of college football – Puntrooskie.

“I told him I am sitting in the stadium right here (where it happened),” Swinney said following Monday’s practice behind the Allen Reeves Football Complex in Clemson.

Swinney knew the conversation was going to be his last with Bobby Bowden. FSU’s legendary coach passed away Sunday at the age of 91.
