This is one football Clemson coach Dabo Swinney won't ever let go.

Tight end Dwayne Allen gave Swinney a game ball on behalf of the players after No. 8 Clemson defeated Virginia Tech 23-3 on Saturday. It was a well-deserved honor considering the Tigers' run this season.

Clemson (5-0, 2-0 ACC) became the first Atlantic Coast Conference team to ever defeat three straight Top 25 opponents with wins against Auburn and Florida State coming before the victory against the Hokies.
