Hey college sports fans, it’s clear that 2025’s Clemson vs. South Carolina football game will hang largely on the battle between Tigers QB Cade Klubnik’s efficiency and Gamecocks QB Lanorris Sellers’ ability to run. But several other matchups on the field Saturday in this nook kickoff of the Palmetto Bowl also loom as major factors. Can Antonio Williams lead the Clemson wide receivers to put up bi...

It’s not difficult to understand why the 6-5 Clemson Tigers listed as underdogs going into Palmetto Bowl week at South Carolina against the 4-7 Gamecocks, but it still might be surprising to see. But when you take stock of the issues with the Clemson defense last year, as well as the injuries along the Tigers offensive line this year, it’s easier to see why this matchup’s variables come into play...

Dabo Swinney’s postgame reaction to Clemson’s 20-19 over Louisville was rooted in genuine joy, as his smile showed the pride he felt for his players’ ability to bring their own guts and scrape out a win over the Cardinals. The win got Clemson back to .500, yet the Tigers clearly had issues on Friday night, and we’ll channel our college football analysis into the Louisville vs. Clemson highlights –...

All right college sports fans, Clemson football is back on the right track – or at least it was in a dominant 24-10 win Saturday over Florida State. The Tigers are making a push to get back to .500.

Clearly Swinney is not happy wi...

All right, college sports fans -- the Clemson offense has gotten more things right this year than the defense as the Tigers have struggled to a 3-4 record, but there's a lot of work to be done nonetheless. Adam Randall's dedication hasn't been enough to establish a running game behind a problematic offensive line that's taken a step back this season. Christopher Vizzina's poten...

All right, college sports fans -- Despite solid stats from QB Christopher Vizzina in his first start, Clemson lost 35-24 to SMU and is in the bottom half of the ACC standings. Dabo Swinney has a lot to take stock of, and we start our analysis from afar with a look at the troubles that have plagued Tom Allen's defense all season long. We also look at longer trends of recent season to try to fig...

All right, college sports fans -- Cade Klubnik had one of the better games of his career by staying composed and making his reads as Clemson put up 41 points in a blowout win at Boston College. The Tigers are a .500 team again overall and in the ACC, but Dabo Swinney still has work to do with this team if the winning ways are to continue. Tom Allen's defense gave up too many plays of double-di...

All right, college sports fans -- Cade Klubnik and the Clemson Tigers came barrelling out of the gate for a 38-10 win at UNC over Bill Belichick's Tar Heels. It's a step in the right direction for Dabo Swinney's 2025 squad, with some clear improvements worth analyzing. Yet there's still work to be done if Clemson is to even approach the kind of season it had envisioned in August, s...

All right, college sports fans -- Clemson has dug itself a hole that's two games below .500 before the Tigers even have their first ACC win.

We'll run through some of the top fixes Dabo Swinney and his coordinators, Garrett Riley and Tom Allen, must make if their p...

Our co-founder Daniel flies solo in this episode and breaks down the breakdowns, from a sputtering offense to a struggling defense. Clemson looks poorly coached in all phases as the Tigers enter their first bye week of the season....

All right, college sports fans -- Cade Klubnik and the Clemson Tigers are 1-2 and failing to play to their potential. We're getting into the laundry list of problems Dabo Swinney, his staff and his players face after a 24-21 loss to Georgia Tech in Week 3. Despite some bright spots for Clemson (such as Adam Randall and Will Heldt), Brent Key looked smarter than Swinney, Haynes King looked more...

All right, college sports fans -- Clemson football's Week 2 win over Troy left a lot to be desired, with a disastrous first half that was bailed out by a steady second half. Running back Adam Randall posted his first 100-yard game, but quarterback Cade Klubnik's struggles were all too familiar and so were the offensive line's. The defense wasn't without fault but played soundly aft...

All right, college sports fans: Cade Klubnik and the Clemson offense ran into trouble during last week's season opener, so we'll run through some of the key areas for improvement that we see after that loss to LSU. The hometown Tigers must find the same rebound effect that they did in last season's Week 2 . Will they be able to make quick work of the visiting Troy Trojans in the same fashion as 20...

All right, college sports fans -- Dabo Swinney's Clemson football program was expected to rise to the top of the sport this season, but in Week 1 it couldn't overcome the challenge of a visiting LSU team in a 17-10 loss at Death Valley (the original one). We discuss Cade Klubnik's struggles as well as those of the offensive line in front of him and the problems up front for the hometown defense as...

All right, college sports fans -- Clemson's a popular preseason pick and highly ranked, but the few critics out there aren't wrong when they point out that the Tigers' returning players had some significant problems last year.

Wrapping up our position-by-position season previews of the Clemson offense, it’s time to talk Cade Klubnik. His arc of improvement last year, along with the return of so many teammates this season, has a nation looking at the Tigers as a preseason ranking sweetheart and a playoff pick. Can he reach the heights that three of his predecessors did? And how can the development of Clemson backup quart...

Running back might be the deepest position Clemson can boast through the modern history of the program. Fred Cone’s name adorns the Ring of Honor in Death Valley. Fast forward 55 years and another Ring of Honor name, C.J. Spiller, begins his life as a Tiger. Another two decades later, Spiller is not only debated along with Travis Etienne as the best of all time, he’s also coaching Clemson running...

The Clemson transformation to WRU started with DeAndre Hopkins, who evolved the position at Clemson, and Sammy Watkins, who lit the program on fire and holds too many records to list. And it has carried over to Mike Williams, Tee Higgins, Hunter Renfrow and more (and it doesn’t look like it’s going to slow down any time soon). The 2025 wide receiver room boasts talents including Antonio Williams,...

Some talented Clemson football players who have shined at tight end include Bennie Cunningham in the 1970s and Dwayne Allen during the early Dabo Swinney years.

We’ll talk about some other greats as well, then we’ll get into the Tigers’ 2025 outlook at tight end with Olsen Patt-Henry...

John Simpson, Stacy Long, Mitch Hyatt and Joe Bostic are four of 12 Tigers OLs who have earned first-team All-American honors from major organizations – and are among the greats for Clemson in some mighty, mighty strong offensive line squads. It’s another position where some truly outstanding players don’t make the final group of the tops in program history. And in 2025, Blake Miller and Walker Pa...

Donnell Woolford, Mackensie Alexander, AJ Terrell, Trayvon Mullen and Nate Wiggins are among the standout greats to suit up at cornerback for Clemson through the decades. We'll recap how each made an impact in Death Valley. For 2025, Avieon Terrell and Ashton Hampton are poised to lead the Tigers secondary in taking on opponents’ passing attacks – and will be challenged Week 1 in the home opener a...
