Garrett Riley's offense eventually kicked in during his first season at Clemson, but far too late to make the Tigers championship contenders a year ago. Riley expected a faster, crisper start for his group in year two as Clemson looks to chase titles this fall.
FILE - Then-SMU offensive coordinator Garrett Riley watches players practice prior to playing Tulane during an NCAA college football game in Dallas, Thursday, Oct. 22, 2021. Riley’s offense in his first season at Clemson eventually kicked in, but far too late to make the Tigers championship contenders last season. Riley is focused on a faster, crisper start in year two. FILE - Clemson quarterback Cade Klubnik plays against North Carolina during an NCAA college football game Saturday, Nov.
The Tigers were defending Atlantic Coast Conference champions a summer ago, and were poised for more success with Riley’s arrival from TCU. Then came the mistakes and meltdowns, starting with a 28-7 opening game loss at Duke and continuing with overtime losses to Florida State and Miami for a 4-4 record that had them out of the picture before November.
Riley’s confidence comes from watching the growth of several playmakers like quarterback Cade Klubnik and tailback Phil Mafah, plus the emergence of last year’s top freshman receiver Tyler Brown. Add in highly regarded freshmen pass catchers in Bryant Wesco and T.J. Moore and Riley believes Clemson can stretch the field this season.
