Clemson lost a tough game in Week 1 against LSU in a battle of what looked to be College Football Playoff contenders.
With Troy coming to Clemson in Week 2, the thought was Cade Klubnik and the Tigers would bounce back in a big way and get a win. Things are going much differently though, as the Tigers are trailing the Trojans, 16-3 at the half.
The college football world is in shock with this performance by the Tigers, and social media is buzzing right now about Dabo Swinney’s team.
Here’s the best of that reaction to Clemson’s stunning first half:
The Tigers entered the season as a legitimate national title contender, and last week’s loss didn’t change that opinion of most college football pundits. However, the performance thus far has the college football world on notice.
There is still a ton of time for Klubnik to get going and to fuel a Tigers comeback. He was a top Heisman Trophy candidate and projected first round pick in the NFL Draft entering the season, and Clemson fans are hoping he can deliver and show just that.
