Dabo Swinney readily admits that his Clemson football team needs to be better than what it’s been over the first three games of the season.
After losing to Georgia Tech on a 55-yard field goal as time expired, Swinney’s Tigers have dropped to 1-2. The last time Clemson began a season by losing two of its first three games was way way back in 2014.
Over that decade plus, Swinney’s teams have experienced a lot of success, including two national titles, and seven appearances in the College Football Playoff. However, in the past five years, Clemson has advanced to the playoff just once.
