No. 10 Clemson is chasing a sixth straight win, although Tigers coach Dabo Swinney has never faced a challenge like this.

Tony Elliott was a walk-on graduate receiver in 2003 who finally thought he’d have a chance for more playing time at Clemson when his position coach left and in walked a young, energetic assistant in Dabo Swinney who himself had returned to college football after selling commercial real estate.

Dabo Swinney helped Tony Elliott become Virginia's head coach. But the Clemson head man will show Elliott and the Cavaliers no mercy Saturday in Death Valley.
