Fresh off falling to an LSU team lower ranked than Clemson , the Tigers struggled against the Trojans. The latter taking a stunning 16-0 lead before halftime.
But Tiger fans got in shambles after this now infamous pick six pulled off by Troy:
The Trojans showed blitz and ultimately rushed five. One Troy defender even accidentally knocked over a teammate. But Clemson quarterback Cade Klubnik still threw the costly interception inside his own 10-yard line.
And fans reacted to the struggling half. With some roasting the Tigers.

"Boo birds are out at Clemson. Tigers losing to Troy 10-0 in 2nd quarter, with only 64 yards offense," McMurphy posted.
Barstool Clemson called out the Tigers — saying the performance is downright embarrassing . One fan even posted this thought involving Dabo Swinney potentially attempting to change the College Football Playoff format.

"I thought Clemson could contend for a national title before the season; I'm not convinced this offense could win C-USA with what we've seen to start the season," Fuhrman said.
The host Tigers managed to avoid the shutout. Kicking a field goal late in the second half with under two minutes left. But fans still were in shambles in witnessing a second straight first half letdown on Clemson's side.
