Dabo Swinney passed Bobby Bowden for the most ACC wins by a coach after his team beat the Seminoles on the field named after the legendary FSU coach.

Clemson’s error led to a tense late-game drive in which FSU – with new life after its second block of the night – went 15 plays and 74 yards to score a touchdown and cut Clemson’s lead to 23-13, with the Seminoles a two-point conversion away from making it a one-score game in the fourth quarter.

After 17 years leading Clemson, coach Dabo Swinney stands alone as the winningest coach in the history of the ACC. The Tigers boss won his conference-best 174th game Saturday evening when No. 15 Clemson defeated Florida State 29–13.

Playing a home night game, coach Mike Norvell’s FSU squad didn’t fold. Glenn, the Seminoles’ backup quarterback making his first start of the season in place of Uiagalelei, led FSU on its only touchdown drive of the half in the second quarter and threw a beautiful ball to make it 17-7.

Dabo Swinney passed Bobby Bowden as the all-time leader in ACC wins, while Cade Klubnik and the Clemson offense continued to produce points at Florida State.

Swinney picks up his 174th win with the Tigers, breaking the record for victories at an ACC school previously held by the Seminoles’ Bowden.

Dabo Swinney is now the all-time leader in wins amongst ACC head coaches. Swinney won his 174th game on Saturday night, breaking a tie with the late Bobby Bowden for the most wins all-time by an ACC head coach. Bowden won 173 games from 1992-2009 when the Noles were members of the ACC.
