One national analyst believes Clemson’s issues on the gridiron come down to one simple thing.
USA Today’s Matt Hayes believes not having the right quarterback in place is what has held the Tigers back since Trevor Lawrence departed for the NFL.
“Clemson isn’t Clemson anymore because it hasn’t been good enough at quarterback over the last five years,” Hayes wrote recently.
“Fix the quarterback, Dabo. And fix Clemson.”
It’s not like the Tigers didn’t recruit well. Both DJ Uiagalelei and Cade Klubnik were five-star talents and ranked as the top quarterbacks in their class.
