ESPN analyst predicts Clemson will end 10-win season streak
Summary

Greg McElroy believes Clemson's run of at least 10 wins per season will conclude this year. He cites a challenging schedule and the departure of nine NFL Draft picks from last season's 7-6 team as critical factors. McElroy noted that previous seasons of underachievement, combined with the level of talent lost, make it difficult for Clemson to bounce back effectively this time. He did acknowledge that head coach Dabo Swinney's recent strategic changes, including using the transfer portal, could offer some hope for a successful season. The Tigers open against LSU and face Miami early in the season, emphasizing the difficulty of their upcoming schedule.
