Clemson quarterback struggles with deep passes against recent competition
Summary

Clemson quarterback Tait Reynolds has faced criticism for his passing depth during the team's recent games, particularly evident in last weekend's performance. In that game, Reynolds attempted 26 passes, with only five exceeding six yards in the air, showcasing an inability to stretch the field. During the match, Reynolds' passes rarely surpassed this threshold, displaying a troubling trend for the Tigers' offense. The Tigers also made 36 rushing attempts, suggesting a reluctance to rely on passing. Head coach Dabo Swinney has stated that these issues are not due to the roster's talent.
