I was willing to be optimistic that the wet fart State let out in Greenville was an anomaly. Teams play bad games. It happens, especially in week one in a hostile environment against a severely underrated team playing its biggest game in years. A single instance of such a thing can get a pass, but Saturday really let a measurable amount of air out of the balloon on offense, and it left things considerably more ominous than you would like with Clemson looming in two weeks (I hate it when they loom. It’s so rude).
It’s important to look at these things through the right lens so they can exist in the proper context.
