Clemson Tigers head coach Dabo Swinney has instilled an underdog mentality in his squad ahead of the College Football Playoff National Championship against the LSU Tigers.
With LSU playing in front of a home crowd in New Orleans, Swinney is comparing Monday's situation to one of the most famous cinematic underdogs, Rocky Balboa, as Clemson offensive tackle Tremayne Anchrum told ESPN's college football crew.
"He loves to compare us to Rocky movies. I guess he's just the biggest Rocky fan. He says going to Louisiana is like going to Russia and we're playing Drago," Anchrum said.
