There might be nobody in the world that loves a night game down in Death Valley more than Clemson Tigers head coach Dabo Swinney and Swinney pumped up his team and the crowd with this sprint onto the field.

Ahead of their weekly matchup against Louisiana Tech, the Tigers made their traditional sprint out to the field led by their head coach. Swinney launches down the hill in full sprint down to the 50-yard line. Then he promptly turns around and starts high-fiving and amping up his players as they run by him.

Clemson fed off their head coach’s energy against the Bulldogs at home. Clemson’s defense is yet again showing why they are one of the best units in the country, not allowing a single touchdown on the night. And on offense, quarterback DJ Uiagalelei is enjoying another consistent performance. Mid-way through the third quarter and he has recorded 156 passing yards on 14-24 completions. He has also added in another 62 yards on the ground with nine carries.

The college football season is akin to a marathon, not a sprint. But if Dabo Swinney has his way, he and the Tigers will be sprinting all the way to the College Football Playoff. And maybe to the team’s first National Championship of the decade.
