Clemson Football defeats Kent State: Turning Point

The 2017 Clemson football season opened with a bang as the Tigers defeated Kent State 56-3. Here was the turning point in the blowout.

Clemson football opened up the 2017 season with a 56-3 win over the Kent State Golden Flashes on Saturday.

Each and every week, we will give you the turning point of the Clemson football game.

The Tigers controlled the game from the start-to-finish so it makes it a bit harder to identify what the climax of the game was.

Or does it?

Let’s take a look at the turning point for Clemson football’s win over Kent State.

Turning Point:

A look at the turning point in the game:

When Clemson stepped off the bus and ran down the hill, it was over. The Tigers came ready to play and that was the difference.

We gave you our keys to a blowout on Friday and the first one was that Clemson football comes out focused. That was the difference.

The rest of the games this season will not come as easy. The Tigers will need to show up and clean up some of the mistakes made in the season opener to beat Auburn and Louisville.

I’m very encouraged by what I saw on Saturday, though. I saw a team that looked like a championship-caliber team.

There’s no opponent on Clemson football’s schedule that the Tigers can’t beat.

They’ve still got some things to work on, but you have to be impressed with what you saw in Death Valley on Saturday.

I think Clemson has a chance to get back to the College Football Playoff and, after seeing what happened around the rest of the nation, I believe the Tigers are just as good as any team in the country. We will get a better look next week when Clemson faces Auburn.
