Clemson will be fine. They have a great football program.
GO DAWGS!
The end of Clemson is wildly exaggerated.
Clemson does clearly have a weakness. The problem for Clemson was that weakness lined up across from the best D-line in CFB. Georgia's put up 15 QB sacks in the last two games. Cincinnati also had a good team and they also had a seasoned mobile QB.
Clemson just needs to improve their O-line. They have every opportunity to do so.
Clemson has been trending downward for some time. It began with LSU and followed up with a split with ND (remember it is always extremely difficult to defeat a team twice in one season) and they got taken apart by OSU. When Clemson faces a team of equal or near equal talent they struggle. Also do not forget this run by Clemson really is about two exceptional quarterbacks - Watson and Lawerance. All of this is somewhat hidden by the fact they play in the ACC. The only game of note and against a top 25 opponent was against UGA and they lost.
Realize too, even with all of this they are not out of the playoff picture.
Clemson won the 2018 National Championship against Alabama. Alabama had more talent, and it wasn't even close.
Clemson has not been as good since, but the margin from one year to the next is slim. Clemson won't win it this year, but they will finish in the top 10 and be a very good team again next year.
They finished 14-1 and #2 in 2019, then #3 last season. I think some personalities at ESPN just says crazy nonsense to get noticed.
Also, Marcus Spears isn't exactly ESPN, he is just one personality who works there.
