Dabo Swinney remembers all too well what happened the last time a Clemson team visited Kyle Field, the site of Saturday’s game between No. 2 Clemson at Texas A&M.
“I was a part of that butt whooping in ’04,” the Tigers’ head coach said Tuesday. “We couldn’t get home soon enough. We got destroyed out there.”
Clemson (1-0) did get destroyed. The Aggies defeated the Tigers 27-6 that evening and it was not even that close. Of course Swinney, who was Clemson’s wide receivers coach at the time, knew the Tigers were headed for a loss way before they stepped foot on Kyle Field.
