Is Clemson and Dabo's dynasty over?

FTW college football writers Michelle Martinelli and Caroline Darney debate if Clemson's glory days are in the past or if last year was just a bump in the road.

The Clemson Tigers kick off their season on Monday against the Georgia Yellow Jackets, but the Atlantic Coast Conference rivalry hasn't been that competitive recently. 

Although the Yellow Jackets lead the all-time series 50-34-2, Clemson, ranked No. 4 in the nation in the season-opening USA TODAY Sports AFCA coaches poll, has reigned victorious over Georgia Tech seven years in a row. In 2020, the Tigers beat down the Yellow Jackets, 73–7.

Quarterback DJ Uiagalelei returned to Clemson following a subpar 10-3 season last year, where he had nine touchdowns and 10 interceptions, while completing less than 56% of his passes.

Georgia Tech lost 16 players to the transfer portal this off-season, including running back Jahmyr Gibbs, who made his debut with No. 1 ranked Alabama on Saturday.

The No. 4 Clemson Tigers and Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets meet up in Week 1 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia. Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. ET and the game will air on ESPN.

Clemson will look to get back into the national conversation this fall after losing two games before October in the 2021 season. The passing game was a significant issue, and DJ Uiagalelei completed 55.6% of passes for 2,246 yards with nine touchdowns and 10 interceptions. His development in Year 3 with the program will go a long way in showing how far the Tigers to this year, but 5-star recruit Cade Klubnik is waiting in the wings.

Georgia Tech won just three games in each of its last three seasons, and this feels like a very important year in terms of the future of head coach Geoff Collins. He was tasked with the difficult transition of moving the program away from the triple-option offense and will enter his fourth season with the Yellow Jackets. Jeff Sims is heading into his third year as the starting quarterback and will look to stay healthy after battling injuries in 2021.

Clemson is a 23-point favorite on DraftKings Sportsbook with -2100 moneyline odds, making Georgia Tech +1100 underdogs. The over/under is set at 51.

The No. 4 Clemson Tigers and Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets meet up in Week 1 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. Kickoff is set for 8:00 p.m. ET and the game will air on ESPN. With this being the first conference game of the year the winner gets off the season on the right foot.

Clemson (0-0, 0-0) will set out to prove that they are still amongst college football’s elite programs after a 10-3 record last season. Quarterback D.J. Uiagalelei will also look to rebound from an up and down performance that left many wondering whether or not he could do the job. Georgia Tech (0-0, 0-0) head coach Geoff Collins is about as close to the hot seat as one can get. After three subpar season at Tech so far, Collins needs to show some major improvements to quiet the noise around the program.

Clemson is a 21.5 -point favorite at DraftKings Sportsbook, and -2100 on the moneyline. That makes Georgia Tech a + 1100 moneyline underdog, with the point total set at 48.5.

Bryant Young straddled the classic football divide between discipline and ferocity more adeptly than just about any player of his generation.

For every minute of a 14-year NFL career spent entirely with the San Francisco 49ers, Young was a model teammate and a soft-spoken leader who selflessly made everybody around him better.

And for 60 minutes on most autumn Sundays, Young was one of the most intimidating, vicious defensive linemen his teammates and opponents had ever seen.

Young doesn’t see that dichotomy as a contradiction. In fact, he loved the chance to get a little crazy while being a measured, mature man in every other area of his rich life.

“Football is a very chaotic, violent, physical sport,” Young said with a smile. “It’s controlled chaos. You don’t get better and you don’t excel in the game by being this passive, nice individual.”

Yet that’s exactly what Young did as one of the most inspirational players and one of the genuinely nice guys of his NFL era.

In addition to his production and resilience at one of the sport’s most brutal positions, Young’s ability to inspire — both through his play and through his response to unimaginable setbacks on and off the field — finally earned him admission to the Pro Football Hall of Fame this summer, nearly 15 years after his last game.

Typically, Young felt a responsibility when he learned he’ll finally get a gold jacket.

“I want to make sure that I do that well and handle it with care,” Young said. “I want do a great job representing all the members of the brotherhood.”

Young was a model of leadership, production and punishing play, but he wasn’t a flashy attention-grabber on the field or a flamboyant personality away from it.

That’s probably why he waited so long for his enshrinement — and why it might not have happened at all if a group of six offensive linemen hadn’t been rallied together by the 49ers’ former PR director last December to film a video testimonial nudging voters to choose Young.

One of the best three-technique defensive tackles of his era, Young had 89 1/2 sacks and earned four Pro Bowl selections in an era rich with talent at the position. He earned an All-Pro nod in 1996, his most exceptional statistical season with 84 tackles, 11 1/2 sacks and two safeties.

Safety Lance Schulters played his first four NFL seasons alongside Young in San Francisco from 1998 to 2001. Schulters acknowledges he was a trash-talking defensive back who absorbed several lessons about professionalism and accountability from the taciturn Young.

“He didn’t speak a lot, but when he spoke, you’d better shut the hell up and pay attention,” Schulters said. “I learned from his toughness and mental fortitude, from his study habits — he would be the first guy in there, last guy to leave. Always on top of his game, taking care of his body. And then in the game, how he controlled and rag-dolled those guards, you couldn’t believe it. He’s an awesome teammate. I love BY.”

The 50-year-old Young seemingly has been a throwback for his whole life.

Young grew up in blue-collar Chicago Heights with two older brothers and a father who worked for the Ford Motor Company. Although he didn’t play football until his freshman year at Bloom High School — initially thinking he would be a fullback — his talent eventually got him to Notre Dame.

He was a three-year starter for Lou Holtz’s Fighting Irish, becoming a team captain, a determined leader — and eventually, the second defensive lineman chosen in the 1994 draft.

Young went seventh overall to the 49ers, who traded up to add young talent to an already outstanding team coming off two straight NFC championship game appearances. Young was the bridge to the future for a defense stocked with veteran talent including Dana Stubblefield, Rickey Jackson, Ken Norton Jr., Tim McDonald, Merton Hanks and Deion Sanders.

San Francisco won it all in his rookie season, with Young starting the Super Bowl victory over San Diego. Although the Niners never got back to the Super Bowl during Young’s career, they remained a consistent winning team until his final seasons.

Young calls it “a huge blessing” to play for just one team: “I know that most people don’t get the opportunity to finish their career where they started, so I don’t take that lightly.”

The biggest challenge of Young’s career arose late in the 1998 season when his left shin was grotesquely broken by Norton’s helmet. Young spent more than two weeks in the hospital and needed extensive surgery just to save his leg from complications.

Schulters was a rookie that season. Like the rest of Young’s teammates, he was amazed by Young’s comeback for the 1999 season opener. Young was the obvious choice as the NFL’s Comeback Player of the Year after a dominant 11-sack campaign.

“I was in awe,” Schulters said. “We were all like, ‘Sit down somewhere!’ But no. BY was in there. I didn’t know how you could mentally do it. To have that happen to your body, to just deal with it, and then to come back the next season? That was incredible.”

After retiring in 2007, Young moved to North Carolina with his wife, Kristin, and their six children. He has also coached defensive lines for San Jose State, Notre Dame, Florida and the Atlanta Falcons.

The Youngs also endured the unimaginable pain of losing their son, 15-year-old Colby, to pediatric brain cancer in 2016. Bryant Young handled the tragedy with the same maturity and quiet strength that has been the foundation of his entire life, and he emerged with a determination to continue a lifetime of selflessness and leadership.

“For the young guys, the advice that I would give them is this: Never, never be content,” Young said. “Always find an opportunity to get better and move forward. There’s always work to be done. Don’t get encased in being one way. There’s always opportunities when you remain open and you remain teachable. Keep your eyes focused on what’s ahead, and always be open to improve.”
