CLEMSON — This Clemson football team just can’t seem to get out of its own way.
A less-than-fully healthy Cade Klubnik had a career day passing-wise, the running game was finally a point of emphasis and successful as a result, and the receivers certainly did their part, as the offense rolled up 560 yards and a season-high 45 points. However, it still wasn’t enough.
The secondary experienced one breakdown after another in a performance that was once again hard to watch. The safeties are not only weak in coverage but also just can’t seem to play assignment football, allowing Duke quarterback Darian Mensah to make it look rather easy.
