There were a lot of things that went wrong for Clemson in Saturday’s 22-10 loss to Penn State in the Pinstripe Bowl at Yankee Stadium in New York, N.Y.
The offense dropped at least seven passes. Quarterback Cade Klubnik took a couple of sacks he should not have taken. The Tigers averaged just 1.7 yards per carry and perhaps did not try to run the ball nearly as much as it should have.
Then there was the defense. Clemson allowed Penn State quarterback Ethan Grunkemeyer to have a career day, as he completed 22 of 34 passes for 262 yards and 2 TDs.
