The Clemson football team opened up its 2024 season on Saturday with a huge matchup against Georgia football. The Bulldogs came into the matchup ranked

#1 in the country, and the Tigers came into it ranked #14 in the country. It was

expected to be a fairly close game, but Georgia was clearly the much better team, and they ended up pulling away

for a big 34-13 win. That was not how Clemson wanted to start the year.

Clemson football actually played really well on defense in the first half and this was a very close game at the break. The

Bulldogs were able to move the football a little bit, but they had to settle for a couple field goals, and they were only up

6-0 on the Tigers at halftime. Clemson was right there in this game at the end of the first half.

The third quarter is when things started to go more south for Clemson football.

Georgia quickly drove the field and scored a touchdown to start the second half, and after Clemson kicked a field

goal to make it 13-3, the Bulldogs drove down the field again and punched it in to make it a three-score game.

Things only got worse in the fourth quarter as Clemson’s offense continued to struggle and the Georgia offense stayed in a rhythm. The Bulldogs were

able to find the end zone two more times, and they ended up winning the game 34-3.

After a few years of struggles, this is not how Dabo Swinney and Clemson football

wanted to start the year. It’s not like anyone w3as expecting the Tigers to come in and win this game, but the

second half was an absolute disaster, and Swinney and his staff were greatly outcoached in the second half. Things

need to change fast if they are going to have a successful season. If not, Swinney is in troub

le.
