Over the past week, one national analyst after another has offered up sharp criticism of Dabo Swinney and his Clemson football program after the team’s 1-3 start.
One who hit the Tigers the hardest was ESPN’s Josh Pate, who believes what has been seen from the Tigers this season is something that has been in the making, going back to last season.
As Pate pointed out, seeing a preseason Top 10 team struggle to live up to expectations isn’t all that unusual. It happened in the ACC just last season with Florida State posting a 2-10 record.
