CLEMSON, S.C. — It hit Dabo Swinney when the Clemson coach woke up this past Sunday morning: Game week. The season opener, the end of eight months of talking and preparing and practicing, and now a real football game that counts.
“Then you look up and go, oh man, we’re playing LSU on national TV, at home,” Swinney said. “It’s awesome. It’s a lot of juice, man. You can just feel it.”
