Clemson Tigers head coach Dabo Swinney hasn’t been shy about calling Monday night’s championship game a “home game” for the LSU Tigers.
On Saturday, Swinney told reporters that the game might as well be played in Baton Rouge.
While l tend to think this is just Dabo trying to create an edge for his team, he’s not wrong that New Orleans is all-in for LSU.
If you need an example, just check out the crowd that gathered when LSU loaded their team buses on Sunday.
Ed Orgeron talked yesterday about all the fans outside the team hotel when LSU arrived in New Orleans.
