Clemson Football: 5 defining games that changed history for Dabo Swinney

2. 2012 Chick-fil-A Bowl win vs. LSU

You know this game was going to be on the list.

There is, perhaps, no better defining moment than the 25-24 win over LSU in the Chick-fil-A Bowl.

LSU came into this game as a heavy favorite and many believed that the Tigers were going to blow out Clemson, but that certainly didn’t happen.

Tajh Boyd took some major shots and ended up delivering one of the most memorable moments in Clemson football history when he completed a 4th-and-16 pass to Deandre Hopkins and then led the Tigers on a game-winning drive as the seconds waned off the clock.
