Dabo Swinney Fires Back at Spurrier's Death Valley Jibe, Points Out Real USC is in California

Spurrier took a playful shot at Clemson, suggesting LSU was the real “Death Valley.” Swinney responded with his own, suggesting the “one real” USC was in California.

"“I heard about that. It’s amazing people are interested in Clemson so much,” Swinney said. “For the record, the original Death Valley is right here (pointing behind him to the stadium). In case anybody has any doubts, its right here. That’s the original Death Valley. I am pretty sure that is accurate, but I can see where he might have a little confusion. Our guys have never been to USC. California is a long way from here. I can see where there might be a little confusion there – two Death Valleys and two USC’s, but there is only one real one. That is classic Spurrier. When he is winning, you can say anything you want. He is one of the best. He has had more lines than anyone probably will. They have a heck of a football team I will tell you that.”"

Incredibly, Dabo looks like he’s updated his wardrobe, though there could be some pleated khakis hiding below the camera. Hoping the Clemson varsity jacket makes an appearance before season’s end.
