Dabo Swinney lashes out at players in sideline outburst as Duke delivers Clemson's latest heartbreaking loss

Urban Meyer joins Colin Cowherd to discuss Arch Manning’s start at Texas, J.J. McCarthy’s injury woes, and whether or not USC has fixed their defense.

Saturday's game at Memorial Stadium in Clemson proved to be a dramatic affair filled with momentum swings.

Duke looked unstoppable in gaining 199 yards in the first quarter to lead 21-7. But Clemson woke up with three straight touchdowns to lead 28-21. The Tigers looked in control again with six minutes left until Duke’s final drive.

The 46-45 loss to the Blue Devils was yet another low point in what continues to be a disappointing season for Clemson. The Tigers have lost four home games for the first time since 1998.

With seconds left before halftime, cameras caught Swinney furiously shouting at players along Clemson’s sideline.

After the game, Swinney reflected on some of the devastating defeats he had been part of during his lengthy coaching tenure at Clemson. He then quipped about the possibility of being fired after the heartbreaking loss to Duke.

"No," Swinney responded when asked if this was the most exasperating season he's had since he's been the head coach at Clemson. "2010, I'd put this one and 10 probably right there… those two. I mean 10, brutal. We lost five games by six points or less, two in overtime."
