Dabo Swinney goes nuts on Clemson sideline in epic meltdown

Our Summary
Clemson Tigers head coach Dabo Swinney experienced a significant setback during the team's 46-45 loss to Duke, which marked a continued struggle in a disappointing season. During the game, Clemson's defense allowed a 42-yard touchdown pass from Duke quarterback Darian Mensah to wide receiver Que’Sean Brown, tying the score at 28-28 just before halftime. Swinney expressed his frustration on the sidelines as Clemson's defense conceded 28 points in the first half.
The Tigers, now holding a 3-5 overall record and 2-4 in ACC play, have not met expectations after being ranked No. 3 in the preseason AP poll. Losses to conference opponents such as SMU and Syracuse, and wins against teams like North Carolina, Troy, and Boston College, have contributed to a challenging season. This performance is a stark contrast to Clemson's usual standards under Swinney, who has not experienced a losing season since 2010.
