Dabo Swinney jokes Urban Meyer's secret to success is 'gameday underwear'


Dabo Swinney thinks he knows the secret behind Urban Meyer's success.

As the Ohio State coach was answering a question on why his team performs so well, Meyer explained the Buckeyes practice so hard "because when your number is called, you've got to make that play. And it's not because of the lucky t-shirt or good fortune."

That's when Swinney interjected. 

"You mean the gameday underwear, that's not the key ingredient?"

Meyer was quick to respond with a joke for the Clemson coach.

"I'm not saying I don't wear them."

Swinney finished the exchange, saying "I thought it was the lucky underwear."

Thankfully, it won't matter what each coach is wearing beneath his clothes Saturday. The players on the field will decide who wins the Fiesta Bowl.
