Dabo Swinney has never beaten Steve Spurrier in their shared five-year history in the Palmetto State rivalry. He'll never have the sharp tongue that his South Carolina counterpart possesses.
The typical Spurrier quote, following this season's 52-7 win over Arkansas: "I do feel badly for Arkansas. That's no fun getting your butt beat at home, homecoming and all that."
The typical Dabo quote, following this season's 38-35 win over Georgia: "It's only unthinkable if you don't think it."
Dabo did accomplish something Spurrier has yet to do at South Carolina on Friday night, however, and he made sure to remind Spurrier - and everyone wearing garnet and black - of that fact.
Following Clemson's 40-35 win over Ohio State in the Orange Bowl, Dabo said this:
Well done, Dabo. Well done.
