Riley had a Post It Note / index card for play calls on offense…very unflattering. Throws downfield were merely nonexistent. Turnovers. This should be a rude awakening for an on paper very great team! Congrats Duke. Tigers fans…weather this storm…if we win every other game then there is possibility that we have a chance to make the CFP.

Congratulations to Duke. They were the much better team tonight. They wanted it more.

It is heartbreaking. No words. All this time, waiting, and it’s beyond disappointing. Where have the Tigers gone? The only upside is that maybe tickets and tailgating costs will go down in the secondary market. And maybe the school will find tickets for all of the students who want to go. I wonder if we even fill the stadium this year…

My guess is Dabo thought he could run the same five plays and win the game, like in years past, in order to reveal the rest of the offense vs FSU. By the time they quit running every down they were behind and had no margin for error and we all saw how that went.

Someone help me - worst loss since ____?
I really don’t know. I keep going back and back and I’m approaching Orange Bowl 2011. At least that was a Bowl Game. This is Duke. F$&@)@ng DUKE!!!

I think they game planned to play vanilla and ended up losing the game. The playbook opened in the 2nd Half, but it wasn't enough due to the mistakes. Dropped passes and fumbles don't win games.

Defense is not the same either. It's missing violence and intensity. Here's the difference between Wes Goodwin Defense and Brent Venables Defense. THE INTIMIDATION FACTOR IS ABSENT....

When Coach V was at Clemson the defense would put pads on the opposing QB every time the QB attempted a pass even if the pass was released. Whenever Coach V was at Clemson, the defense would have better awareness, but bring extreme violence and pain at the point of attack. It would rattle opposing offenses. The Tackle for Loss count was way higher as well. Sacks were the norm, and opposing offenses didn't have time to develop a play.

I will still watch every game, but only in hopes of ruining everyone else's season. That would bring some joy to fill this void of pain.

GO TIGERS!

All over but the crying. I’ve yelled Goodwin was a bad idea since day one. Game over after that interception. We’re garbage. Absolute garbage

Ball goes through Shipley's arms and into a Duke defender's and the Blue Devils take over with 5:01 to go at the Clemson 47.

Clemson forces the quick 3-and-out and gets the ball back at the 20 with 5:47 left, down 21-7..

Targeting call is upheld, but because he was short on a fourth down run, Duke gets the ball.

Klubnik has a ways to go as far as situational awareness. Should know better than to slide short on 4th down.

Hasn’t quite learned from end of 1st half against TN when he forgot that we didn’t have TO left.

He’ll learn.

Well, that's a head-scratcher, but the Clemson defense is out on the field now after the review.

Antonio Williams with the drop around the third down marker and Clemson has to go for it on 4th-and-8...and Klubnik draws the targeting flag on the scramble to extend the drive. Play under review.

If Clemson loses tonight, the most we can hope for is to ruin everyone else's season. I don't want to hear anyone tell the fans that there's a lot left to play for. Clemson will be lucky to be ranked after tonight.

Time to find a DC defense not tackling and not being in position…. That’s 100% on the DC.

In fairness we’ve left 21 points on the field by poor ball handling

Duke's drive keeps whittling down the clock and Jaquez Moore takes it in from 9 yards out to put Duke up two scores with 10:33 to go.

Another red zone fumble for the Tigers and Klubnik is the only one who kept the Blue Devils from returning it all the way. Duke ball at the Clemson 33.

Clemson faces 2nd-and-1 at the Duke 6 going into the fourth quarter, down 13-7.

Clemson defense continuing to keep the Tigers in it here. Clemson takes back over at its 40 with 4:24 left in the third quarter down 13-7.

Clemson fumbles this time and Duke takes over at their 10. Looks like Klubnik tried to pull away the ball to run and didn't get it out of his running back's arms correctly.

The only good that I have seen tonight is the running of Shipley. Cade seems unsure and accuracy is not there. Air Raid is not happening. Defense doesn't seem prepared.

Clemson back in Duke territory at the 28 with a first-and-10.

I’d like to see this offense put together at least 3 complete drives and score touchdowns. FGs don’t get it done. Need to put it together.

Clemson defense forces the Duke 3-and-out after the FG miss and Clemson takes over at its 28, down 13-7 with 8:14 to go in the 3rd quarter.

Rich Rods 1st game- lost to Marshall. Morris 1st almost lost to Troy at home. Both teams exploded week 2. I can only hope. But right now.. I don’t feel so good.

Horrible tackling all night long. Arm tackles don’t get it done. Put pads on them and wrap them up with a tight grip. Duke receivers have been wide open all night too. Don’t even get me started on the Offense that oddly mirrors more of the same. What happened to the “Air Raid”?
