Clemson Football Mounts 27-16 Comeback Win Over Troy

Clemson Tigers football coach Dabo Swinney praised his team's resilience after overcoming a 16-point deficit to defeat Troy 27-16, marking the Tigers' first win of the season. Despite a shaky first half marked by turnovers, including a pick-six against them, Clemson responded with five consecutive scoring drives in the second half, showcasing their toughness and championship-caliber mentality. Swinney highlighted the importance of special teams plays, such as a key deep onside kick and strong punting, which contributed significantly to the comeback. Quarterback Cade Klubnik, a Heisman contender, steadied the offense in the second half with two touchdown passes, while the defense forced three takeaways to help secure the victory. The win was Clemson's third-largest comeback in Death Valley history and reinforced Swinney's confidence in his talented roster despite a concerning start to the season. The Tigers remain focused on their goals of winning the ACC, making the College Football Playoff, and competing for the national championship.
