Dabo's Dynasty: Clemson's Rise to College Football Supremacy [Paperback]

Go inside the making of the 2018 Clemson Tigers football team, the one that vaulted to the top and becamethebiggest thing in college football.

From the beginning of the season, head coach Dabo Swinneys rallying cry was joy. Each week for opponents, though, was another joyless occasion against a big orange machine that found its high gear midseason. The results shook the foundation of college football. In 2015 and 2016, the Tigers needed to bring their own guts to achieve great things. In Swinneys 10th season, they brought their own sledgehammers. Author Larry Williams, who has covered Clemson and Swinney since 2004, unearths revealing anecdotes from Dabos tenure like you've never seen before and shares how a season dominated by Alabama hype ended up overwhelmed by a Clemson tide and a new college football dynasty.
