The Clemson Tigers faced a tough test in their season opener.
Head coach Dabo Swiney and the Tigers traveled to Atlanta for Saturday's matchup with the Georgia Bulldogs — a team that's won two of the past three College Football Playoff National Championships.
Clemson's 34-3 loss to the Bulldogs was one of the most lopsided defeats of Swiney's tenure. The loss sparked numerous questions about the direction of the program, but ESPN college football analyst Booger McFarland shared his thoughts on what he believed has contributed to the Tigers' shortcomings in recent years.

From McFarland's point of view, a lack of creativity on the offensive side of the ball has held Clemson back. The Tigers only managed to produce 188 total yards of offense on Saturday.

"I’m afraid to say it’s the same old thing," McFarland during Saturday's broadcast. "[There is] no creativity on offense. It’s been the same stale offense for four or five years. … If you’re a Clemson fan, you have to ask yourself, when are we going to change?"
Swiney's approach to the transfer portal has been widely criticized. McFarland suggested that Swiney's roster building philosophy would need to change in order for Clemson to have the most competitive roster possible.
