Evidently this years rendition of the Clemson-USC rivalry did not end with the weekends football game. Tonight following Clemson’s preparations for their ACC title game, Clemson Head Coach, Dabo Swinney, was asked not only about their upcoming matchup with Virginia Tech, but also about comments Steve Spurrier supposedly made after the game. Here is Swinney’s rebuttal:
The only problem is Spurrier didn’t say “We may not be Alabama or LSU, but we sure ain’t Clemson folks.” That comment was made by Todd Ellis, the former Gamecock quarterback and play-by-play man for USC.
Oops.
