Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney and his wife Kathleen had a short message to tell their son Will after he scored his first touchdown of his career against Louisville on Saturday.

"This is mom and dad, Dabo said. "We are proud of you Will. Pretty cool moment to see Will score his first touchdown. Hope it won't be your last. Really appreciate how hard you work."

Will Swinney became the first son of a Clemson head football coach to score a touchdown since 1963 when Jimmy Howard scored a touchdown in the season finale against South Carolina.
