Before the game, Dabo Swinney did a pre-game interview with the crew of College Football Live while walking on the field one hour before kickoff. After the interview was over, host Sam Acho made a comment that Swinney looked very tense, and that comment seemed to be more accurate as the game progressed.
Swinney said this is the most accountable team he’s ever had, but it didn’t show on the field. The Tigers looked lost, unprepared, and unmotivated.
The offense struggled to find a rhythm, which resulted in three consecutive turnovers. The defense gave up 28 points, but in their defense, they didn’t get much help from the defense.
Who is to blame for the disappointing loss? Let’s go through the grades and find out.
