Monday night was not the judgment night that Clemson had anticipated. Coach Dabo Swinney and the Tigers suffered a shocking 28-7 loss to the Duke Blue Devils, a team that hadn't defeated a top-10 program since 1989. Clemson's ninth-place ranking in the Associated Press preseason poll and its extreme favoritism came crashing down in a shocking defeat that left everyone scratching their heads and wondering about what happened on the ground.
Clemson was initially received with high expectations, being ranked ninth in the Associated Press preseason poll, and was widely anticipated to secure a comfortable victory against a Duke team that hadn't defeated a top-10 program since 1989. However, the outcome was far from what fans and experts predicted.
The Tigers' head coach, Dabo Swinney, expressed his shock after the game, calling it "the weirdest game" he had ever been a part of. Despite Clemson's dominance in several statistical categories, including first downs and total yards, their downfall was a dismal performance in the red zone. This included two blocked short field goals and two fumbles following first-and-goal situations at the one-yard line.
Swinney furiously pointed out the missed opportunities, emphasizing the frustration stemming from basic errors. "It's almost indescribable what I just saw... It's routine stuff. The basics. The fundamentals. Basic, basic stuff," he said.
The coach acknowledged that quarterback Cade Klubnik, making his second career start for Clemson, still has much to learn but praised his competitiveness and resilience.
Despite the disappointing loss, Swinney remains optimistic about the team's potential, stating, "We're not entitled to win; you've got to go earn it." He emphasized that Clemson had chances to seize control of the game but failed to capitalize on them.
Clemson's opening loss, its second in three years, was its worst ACC defeat since 2014. However, Swinney maintains his belief in the team and its capacity to bounce back. He encouraged fans not to give up on them, echoing Klubnik's sentiment that adversity early in the season could pave the way for a triumphant comeback. Well, only time will tell if that can be true.바카라 웹사이트
