Clemson tied with Charleston Southern at 14 as awful turnovers continue to cost the Tigers

Dabo Swinney and the Tigers are tied at 14 with Charleston Southern at the end of the first quarter in a game that should not be nearly as close as it is. 

As of now, Charleston Southern has 7 yards of total offense and has yet to earn a first down. Yet, they are tied with Clemson as some ugly turnovers have set the Buccaneers up for easy scores. 

After a 4th and 1 fumble set up an easy score for the Buccanneers, starting quarterback Cade Klubnik threw a shocking 67-yard pick-six while the Tigers were driving. This team was sloppy in Week 1, and things have not changed in Week 2. 

On the next drive, the Tigers responded, going 7 plays for 57 yards and a touchdown. Their touchdown came on a Phil Mafah 1-yard touchdown run. It was a strong drive for Clemson, but this inconsistency has been painful to watch at times. 

This team needs to turn things around in the second quarter.
