CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) — Clemson coach Dabo Swinney always felt connected to the late, great Tigers coach Frank Howard. Both are Alabama natives and Swinney met Howard as a young boy when the longtime coach came to a birthday party for Swinney’s mom. Now, Swinney’s joined Howard as Clemson’s leader in career victories with 165 after a 17-12 win over Wake Forest on Saturday. “I don’t think that’s a coincidence,” Swinney said Saturday of his history with Howard. “Hopefully, I’m here a long time and we win many more games,” Swinney continued. “But Frank Howard is Clemson.” So far, the 53-year-old Swinney’s made a strong run to overtake that legacy. Cade Klubnik and Will Shipley ran for touchdowns and Clemson’s defense held Wake Forest in check throughout .It was far from a pretty performance on a picture-perfect day. Still, Clemson (4-2, 2-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) won its 15th straight over Wake Forest (3-2, 0-2) and posted a second-strai...
