Clemson flat-out bullied by Duke. How does that even happen? ...

It’s inexcusable for someone who is supposed to be an elite coach, this deep into his tenure with that roster. The truth is, Dabo is a glorified wide receivers coach who benefited from elite coordinators and generational quarterbacks. This is reality.

Elko.

Dude ran the #3 defense in the nation at A&M. He’s young, smart, and at the top of his game.

He will be dangerous at a power house.

Clemson just doesn’t have talent anymore. I mean they have nobody on offense besides Shipley

Clemson turned the ball over a bunch in the deep red zone and missed fgs but Duke also made plenty of mistakes. Duke was simply the better team. Clemson has no explosive threats on the outside. None whatsoever. They probably would've been better off just handing the ball of to Phil Mafa every play. Duke looked a lot better coached and their QB is kinda a stud.

Ya hate to see it.

Duke played their arse off, left everything out there.

Was awesome.

Kirby choking off all of Dabo’s direct lines to GA talent.

Duke has some athletes.

They had some good transfers, but this is not 1984.

The modern passing game helps even things out.

Dabo is a little old fashioned. Turner is a starting WR. Giving a friends kid a scholarship is on thing, starting him is another. Kid flat dropped the ball.

Duke looked faster than Clemson overall.

At least some Clemson fans are realistic:

We got blew out by duke...

Nothing else matters.

Duke blew us out...

Klubnik has to settle down, he's hurrying it way too much which is causing sloppy play, if not there's freshman QB Chris Vizzina who may see early playing time. bigger, more composed and a pocket passer.

Duke is a program on the rise with an experienced Sr QB and they picked up some blue chippers from the transfer portal, Elko shows he's a very disciplined leader Dabo will get the issues worked out, watch & see.

That was a mess. But it was the turnovers that were so ugly. Clemson has a lot of work to do, but they were at the one-year line all night and continued to cough the ball up. And that field goal kicker, wow.

Ya'll wanna know the best part. I mean the VERY BEST part?

Clemson fans have become so entitled over the past 10-12 years, they've now rumbling for Dabo's job.

Dabo’s BBQ buddy system and refusal to use the portal or accept NIL as reality has finally caught up to him.

They had crazy coaching continuity through their title runs. They’re finding out how the other half lives now.

You see it every season. One team wins on paper but loses on the field. TO's are a major factor usually. Missed opportunities.

Duke just made plays when they needed them last night.

clemson thought they could just show up and trust some process.

buying in, having a process, etc are all great, but the players still have to show up and outplay the other team. the coaches still have to coach the players.
