Quick thoughts from Pittsburgh: As offense struggles, hard decisions await Swinney

PITTSBURGH – Dabo Swinney is in uncharted territory, and there are more questions than answers right now, answers that won’t be answered until the offseason.

Clemson lost 27-17 to Pitt Saturday at Heinz Field, dropping the Tigers’ record to 4-3 overall and 3-2 in the ACC. Long gone are any thoughts of an ACC Atlantic Division title, an ACC title, or the College Football Playoff. Still on the table? Beating South Carolina and winning the last game of the season, whenever and wherever that might be.

Yes, the program struggled early under Swinney, going 6-7 in 2010 and then giving up 70 points to West Virginia in 2011.
