Clemson football attempted a fake field goal on its first drive of the Orange Bowl against Tennessee on Friday night.
The plan looked to have holder Drew Swinney, coach Dabo Swinney’s son, run the fake out to the left side of the field on the fourth-and-4 play at the Tennessee 27-yard-line. The younger Swinney was only able to gain two yards before he was met by UT defenders.
The Vols took the momentum and marched down the field over 12 plays and 4 minutes to take the lead as Joe Milton found Bru McCoy for a 16-yard touchdown. Tennessee held a 7-0 lead with five minutes to go in the first quarter.
Swinney is listed at 5-foot-9 and 185 pounds and plays wide receiver for the Tigers. He has 14 catches for 96 yards and the fake field goal was his first rushing attempt in his five-year collegiate career. The 2022 season was his first as the holder.
