Dabo’s resistance to using the portal is in no small part to blame.

This is probably the biggest factor. We’ve lost a lot of players to the portal but have not brought in anyone other than a couple of depth QB’s.

Clemson also had a run of generational QBs that probably masked problems under the surface.

Our offense has not looked confident since Trevor Lawrence left. They are either totally anemic or make some big plays immediately followed by turnovers. This plagued our offense with DJ at the helm and now Cade. I still have hope that Riley will turn around it around in the end, but it may take longer than I anticipated.
