Clemson coach Dabo Swinney promises Syracuse’s Fran Brown a trip if Tigers win the national title

Syracuse, N.Y. — Clemson coach Dabo Swinney promised Syracuse coach Fran Brown a gift on Tuesday if the Tigers go on to win the national title this season, continuing a couple days of banter between the football coaches.
Syracuse’s win over Miami last Saturday knocked the Hurricanes out of the ACC championship game and put Clemson in. With a win over SMU, the Tigers would make the College Football Playoff as one of the five highest-ranked league champions. That is Clemson’s only chance to make the playoffs.
