There was no shortage of social media commentary and reactions during and after seventh-ranked Clemson’s 31-14 loss to No. 6 Tennessee in the Orange Bowl on Friday night at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Fla.
Check out some of what they’re saying on Twitter regarding the Orange Bowl:
For the third straight offseason, Clemson will face questions about its QB, WRs, play calling and general direction

I like Cade Klubnik and think he's going to be pretty good for the Tigers. That said, the first half of this game only has me digging my heels in deeper that DJU might not've been the solution, but he wasn't the problem.

#Clemson has outgained Tennessee 318-194, has 22 first downs to the Vols' 12 and ran 36 plays on Tennessee's side of the field in the first half…yet trails 14-6

Clemson's going to lose a game in which it ran 100 plays.
Tigers have run 101.
Not sure I've ever seen something like this.
— Davis Potter (@DavisEPotter) December 31, 2022
Clemson is also the third team since 2000 to run 101+ plays and score 14 or fewer points.
Oklahoma State did it against Oklahoma this year as well.
But Clemson also ran 56 plays in Tennessee territory.

You have an 18 year old throwing it 50 times in his second game against the number 6th team. 🤦♂️

This tweet is only like 25% sarcasm btw. I think postgame anger management has tanked since they took the game away from us.
Give us the game to air out our frustrations, and we'll be nicer to each other.
