Clemson's former starting quarterback Cullen Harper, benched -- possibly via text message -- preceding the departure of his head coach, remained benched when Dabo Swinney took over as head coach. Today's starter -- redshirt freshman quarterback Willy Korn -- has lasted all of four offensive possessions before giving way back to Harper. Who knew the Tigers had such a quick hook?There is speculation that Korn was injured on his last possession, but we think the interception and pair of turnovers spelled doom regardless.
"Punt, punt, interception, interception" is no way to go through life, particularly at home before 85,000 frustrated South Carolinians against an option-mad, ball-controlling Georgia Tech team. Harper hasn't been much better, although he probably should be given that he was the preseason ACC Offensive Player of the Year.
And just as I write this, Harper tosses an interception to end the first half. Malaise, thy name is Clemson.
