Ugly doesn't even begin to describe the Clemson football win over No. 20 Louisville on Friday night. The Tigers essentially did everything possible to lose that contest, but luck was on their side and the Cardinals collapsed late.
Dabo Swinney's postgame message after Clemson took down Louisville was incredible
No one was more relieved about that than Dabo Swinney, but offensive coordinator Garrett Riley had to be thrilled too. Plain and simple, fans have not been happy with him and they would have been ready to light him up online had Clemson fallen to 4-6.
Well, leave it to former standout Clemson tight end Jordan Leggett to showcase some anger that many of you out there were feeling. During the action, Leggett was watching things like the rest of us and he simply could not believe some of the decisions Riley was making with his play-calling:
The dumbest play calls I have seen.

Former Clemson star Jordan Leggett was not happy with Garrett Riley and his play-calling
It's hard to argue with Leggett here, as he appears to specifically signal out the goal-line calls for defensive tackle Peter Woods. On 3rd down, Woods got the carry and he fumbled. Okay, no big deal, let's either kick a field goal or run a different play on 4th down.
Instead, Clemson went BACK to Woods. No points, and a turnover on downs was posted. Are you freaking kidding us? Woods wasn't even ready for the ball on 4th down and the ball hit the turf. It was beyond embarrassing and Clemson fans, including Leggett, were livid.
A quick look on social media shows that Leggett wasn't the only one to blast Riley, as Clemson supporters everywhere are losing patience with him and fast. Clemson is now 5-5 on the year and with a win against Furman next week, this team will go bowling once again.
However, a 6/7 win season was not what anyone was hoping for in 2025 and Swinney himself can't be too happy with the play of his offense. It's unknown whether an offseason change will come or not, but we don't have to tell you that countless people wouldn't be opposed to it if Riley isn't brought back.
