ORLANDO, Fla. — When the Clemson football team dropped to 4-3 on the season after a lopsided loss at Pittsburgh on Oct. 23, many wrote off any possibility of a positive finish to the Tigers’ season.
But Dabo Swinney and his team stayed the course.
The Tigers capped off their 11th straight 10-win season — becoming just the third program in college football history to achieve the feat — last week with a 20-13 win over Iowa State in the Cheez-It Bowl at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Fla.
During Swinney’s tenure, Clemson has won a pair of national titles, played in six straight College Football Playoffs and won the ACC seven times in the last decade.

Marinades liven up vegetable sides
By Olivia Fowler
For the Courier
ofowler@thepccourier.com
There are times when we all get tired of our regular way of serving fresh vegetables.
I like to try new versions of old favorites, and marinades are one way to get the vegetables in your people without hearing complaints about being tired of the dish. The marinated carrot recipe has been around for some time, but the current version isn’t heavy on the sugar.
