All right, college sports fans -- Cade Klubnik and the Clemson Tigers are 1-2 and failing to play to their potential. We're getting into the laundry list of problems Dabo Swinney, his staff and his players face after a 24-21 loss to Georgia Tech in Week 3. Despite some bright spots for Clemson (such as Adam Randall and Will Heldt), Brent Key looked smarter than Swinney, Haynes King looked more capable than Klubnik, and the Yellow Jackets flat-out had a better game than the Tigers. Suddenly next week's matchup looks critical for Clemson football before the team's first bye week of 2025. Come check out our analysis of the highs and lows right now.

Clemson 27, Troy 16: Tigers offense still sputtering
All right, college sports fans -- Clemson football's Week 2 win over Troy left a lot to be desired, with a disastrous first half that was bailed out by a steady second half. Running back Adam Randall posted his first 100-yard game, but quarterback Cade Klubnik's struggles were all too familiar and so were the offensive line's. The defense wasn't without fault but played soundly after yielding an opening-drive touchdown after the Trojans received the opening kickoff. So, what do head coach Dabo Swinney and offensive coordinator Garrett Riley need to figure out from here? We have a few viewpoints to share amid some venting.
