Media react to Clemson’s horrible start against Boston College
By SDS Staff
Published:
The Clemson Tigers have dug themselves a major hole in the first half against a hot Boston College team.
The Eagles have jumped out to a 28-10 lead in the first half. Yes, Clemson is Trevor Lawrence-less following his positive COVID-19 test, but backup DJ Uiagelelei is currently 16-of-19 for 180 yards and 1 touchdown. He’s played well.
However, Boston College is playing like it wants to upset the No. 1 ranked Tigers, but it’ll take another strong second-half performance to make it happen.
Reactions are pouring in after the Tigers struggling start:

Clemson’s backup QB is 12-of-14 for 121 yards and a TD and his team is losing by two TDs. Would not have predicted that scenario.

Do NOT blame this performance by Clemson on No Trevor Lawrence… DJ is playing really well.
They can’t run the ball and are not stopping the fighting Hafleys.
THIS IS NOT HAPPENING BECAUSE TREVOR IS OUT‼️
