College Football World Was in Disbelief Over Clemson’s Offensive Struggles vs. Duke

The Tigers offense had a nightmare performance on Monday, and college football fans and media had plenty to say.

Clemson’s offense had a nightmare performance in its season opener against Duke on Monday night.

Myriad turnovers plagued the Tigers, particularly in the red zone, as they failed to convert strong field position into points throughout the night.

During a span of five possessions, Clemson had a field goal attempt blocked, fumbled twice (both of which came within the 10-yard line), turnover the ball over on downs and threw an interception. 

The Tigers failed to put a single point on the scoreboard in the second half, as Duke’s defense came up with big plays throughout the night.

The stunning Clemson defeat left the college football world in awe, and fans and media had plenty to say about Dabo Swinney’s team’s lackluster offensive showing.
