Clemson just once again has no offense.  The one thing Dabo had to fix….still looks DJUish.  

I was about to say, Clemson fans gotta be at least a tad nervous that here is another QB that looked really promising in spot duty as a freshman looking pretty trashy as the anointed starter.

Really been unimpressed with the playcalling given the hype of Garrett Riley too.  The bullshit quick screen game is too similar to last seasons nonsense.

Duke dominated that half but shot themselves in the dick so many times they go to half trailing 7-6.

Duke returns 18 starters from a 9-4 team. They , once again will be better than most give them credit for. Clempson may be great again, and Duke just better than most think. Clempson has not run over them on offense or defense.

A lot of football left for Clempson to shine ( or Duke )

Is Clemson this bad??  Duke this good or something in the middle?

That 4.3 average for Klubnik is Jimmy Clausenesque.

More Rhule slander on the halftime show lol

Duke won 9 games last year and returned nearly their whole team. I thought they might sneak into the bottom of preseason rankings. They're not bad.

They are much, much better than the doormat they used to be

I think Duke is pretty good.  9 wins last year and return a lot. 

I think Clemson just lacks a working pass game.  I  think they got the rest to be really good.  Which has plagued them the last 2 years.   They got to get rid of this short screen WR game

Clemson is on the road in week 1 against a Duke team that went 9-4 last year returning the vast majority of it's starters alongside a very disciplined and well coached defense under Elko. Clemson also has a new OC and inexperienced QB at the helm. I honestly don't know what a lot of people expected.  I mean we're basically doing everything an underdog shouldn't do to win and are still only down by 1. Just don't know how the team'll hold up in the 2nd half once Clemson adjusts, this team doesn't got the blue chip prospects that Clemson does. But I don't know how much of this is necessarily an indictment on Clemson. With that being said their QB has looked very uninspiring so far and those DJU memories are probably still lingering among their fans.

I don’t think Duke is as bad as people think they are and I certainly think Clemson is overrated. Klubnik only played significant snaps in two games.

He beat up on a bad UNC defense and got beat up on by a good Tennessee team.

This situation could play out very similar to the way the DJ Uiagalelei situation played out. Uiagalelei looked good filling in for Trevor Lawrence but as teams started to get more film on him we found out that he wasn’t nearly as good as we thought he was.

I wasn't thinking Duke was bad, I knew they did pretty well last year but haven't been able to watch much and was wondering.  Thanks to everyone who replied.

That should have been a tackle for no gain at best

[jayboogieman]

Fantastic effort by Duke's QB.
