CLEMSON — After back-to-back road wins, the Clemson football team was feeling pretty good about itself. On Saturday, SMU sent the Tigers crashing back down to reality.
Going in, it’s safe to say, most would have assumed that had Clemson lost, it would have been because starting quarterback Cade Klubnik was out injured, but as Lee Corso always liked to say, not so fast, my friend.
The Tigers once again fell at home, and again by double digits, as SMU repeatedly torched Tom Allen’s defense in a 35-24 win. Quarterback Kevin Jennings had more than 300 yards of offense, with the Clemson defense repeatedly giving up big conversions in some of the game’s biggest moments.
