Dabo Swinney fires up Clemson before National Championship (Video)

Watch Dabo Swinney fire up his Clemson Tigers team before playing Alabama in the College Football Playoff National Championship.

Dabo Swinney is the Coach of the Year after leading Clemson to a 14-0 record and enters the National Championship as the No. 1 team in the nation.

The former walk-on receiver at Alabama plays his alma mater tonight and he knows all about the moments that led up to this pinnacle moment in his career and he wants to make sure his players realize what’s before them tonight.

University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, AZ should be the host to an exciting game between the top two teams in the country and Swinney gave a pep talk on the field that should have Clemson ready to take advantage of this opportunity.

If you’re a Clemson fan and that doesn’t give you chills, I don’t know what will.

Clemson may have entered the game as a 7-point underdog, but they won’t be lacking for confidence as they take on Nick Saban and his defense that could make life difficult for Tigers quarterback Deshaun Watson.

Also making things tough on Clemson will be Heisman winner Derrick Henry who has run for more than 2,000 yards this year.

You can watch the game on the ESPN family of networks who is offering a number of different broadcasts to maximize their coverage of the College Football Playoff.
