Despite their talented roster, the Clemson Tigers suffered a setback in their game against USC Upstate, falling 6-3. The loss (4 in a row) was a tough pill to swallow for the Tigers, who were hoping to bounce back from their recent defeat against UCF.
One of the issues for Clemson has been their ability to execute the small plays. While they have the athletes to win games, their lack of attention to detail has been holding them back. Coach Bakich has been stressing the importance of paying attention to the details, and it’s clear that this will be a focus for the team moving forward.
“Winning games comes down to the small things,” Bakich said. “We need to be able to execute on those plays, and we can’t afford to make mistakes.”

It’s worth noting that this is not the first time Clemson has faced off against USC Upstate. The last time these two teams met was on March 9, 2021, when Clemson suffered a 12-2 defeat at home. While the loss is disappointing, the Tigers know that they have what it takes to come back stronger and more determined than ever before.
Looking ahead to the weekend series, Clemson will need to regroup and refocus in order to get back on track. They’ll have a chance to redeem themselves as they take on the USC Gamecocks. This will be an important matchup for the Tigers, and they’ll need to come out strong and execute every play if they hope to emerge victorious.
