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.
