Clemson's playoff hopes shattered? Tigers stumble to 0-2 start with shocking loss to Georgia Tech. Can Dabo Swinney right the ship?

Morgan Thomas breaks down Clemson's unexpected early-season struggles, analyzing key plays from the Georgia Tech defeat and questioning offensive coordinator Garrett Riley's game plan. The discussion covers Cade Klubnik's turnovers, the defense's inability to make crucial stops, and how these factors are reshaping Clemson's season objectives. Thomas resets expectations for the Tigers, exploring potential outcomes from an optimistic 10-2 finish to a more realistic 8-4 record.

Will Clemson bounce back against a tough remaining schedule, or is this the beginning of the end for their ACC dominance?
