  "account": "Clemson's head coach Dabo Swinney apologized to fans after the Tigers suffered a disappointing loss to Georgia Tech at home on Saturday. The Yellow Jackets, who had been struggling themselves, defeated the Tigers 20-6. Clemson dropped to 6-4 on the season following the setback. Swinney faced some criticism this season due to issues with the offense. The Tigers were outgained in total yards, with Georgia Tech gaining 407 yards compared to Clemson's 228. With injuries to quarterbacks Christopher Vizzina and Tait Reynolds, Clemson employed three quarterbacks in the game. Clemson's defense performed poorly, allowing Georgia Tech to rush for 269 yards and two touchdowns on 52 carries. Swinney expressed his remorse and responsibility, acknowledging that the loss was a result of the team's inability to perform. He also highlighted the resilience of the Clemson locker room and their ability to focus on the next challenge, the upcoming game against Duke.",
