in the 2017 College Football Playoff National Championship Game at Raymond James Stadium on January 9, 2017 in Tampa, Florida.
Things got super spooky during Clemson football’s team meeting on Halloween. On Tuesday night, an unnamed player or Clemson staffer got dressed up in a horrifying Halloween costume, then hid behind a curtain before the meeting and then he waited for the perfect moment to scare the crap out of Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney. The power went out and the lights flickered, then the anonymous monster jumped out at the 47-year-old Clemson coach, terrifying Swinney to his core. The head coach jumped with fear before being a good sport and laughing it off.
– 🤔 "Coach Swinney will have fun with this right?"
– "It's Coach Swinney."
– "Say no more."
Happy Halloween, #ClemsonFamily. 🎃👻💀 pic.twitter.com/zo5UbH9NaR

Somebody get Swinney a clean pair of underwear.
What wasn’t scary on Tuesday was Clemson getting a boost in the College Football Playoff’s initial rankings. The defending national champions are now ranked No. 4, ahead of Oklahoma and Ohio State. The Tigers play No. 20 North Carolina State at Carter–Finley Stadium on Saturday.
