After last Saturday’s season-opening loss to LSU, Clemson was hoping for Saturday’s contest vs. Troy to be a “get-right game.” Unfortunately for the eighth-ranked Tigers, that certainly wasn’t the case, at least not in the first half.
Clemson trailed Troy, 16-3, at halftime of the game at Memorial Stadium after an embarrassing first two quarters against the Trojans.
During halftime of the ACC Network broadcast, former Wake Forest head coach Dave Clawson and former Miami/Georgia head coach Mark Richt weighed in on why Clemson struggled so much in the first half.
“I think if you look at it from a 10,000-foot view, they went into this season not even talking about winning the ACC – talking about being national champions,” Clawson said.
