Clemson fans have seen this movie before: a slow start, uneven offense, and another late collapse. Saturday’s 24-21 defeat at Georgia Tech dropped the Tigers to 1–2, their second heartbreaking loss in three weeks. This wasn’t just another ACC road stumble — it was another warning sign that Dabo Swinney’s program may no longer be bulletproof.
Clemson was outscored 13–7 in the first half, and while Cade Klubnik flashed with a 73-yard strike to Bryant Wesco Jr. in the third quarter, mistakes kept piling up. Klubnik’s fumble in the first quarter led directly to points, and his third-quarter interception in the red zone killed momentum.
