At first glance, there is nothing particularly interesting about the current state of the Textile Bowl. Dave Doeren is 0-7 against the Tigers. That’s a winning percentage of 0%, which is tied with every other coach currently in the ACC except for Dino Babers and Pat Narduzzi for some reason. But if you pull at some of the threads of this thing, there turns out to be a surprising amount of spiciness for a game between two programs with such lopsided results.
It wasted no time getting started either. Dave Doeren met number three Clemson at home on a Thursday in the third game of his tenure.
