Clemson football’s hopes of making a run to the College Football Playoff took a huge hit on Saturday night.

Dabo Swinney’s Clemson Tigers find themselves in a familiar position as the calendar page has turned to November… near the top of the ACC standings and firmly in the mix for a berth in the College Football Playoff field.

As teams enter the toughest parts of their schedules, Heisman hopefuls are also facing stronger competition—giving them the opportunity to either separate themselves from the pack or play themselves out of the race altogether. For players like […]

Despite leading the Clemson football team to a decisive victory over Virginia, quarterback Cade Klubnik was critical of his own performance. In a game that saw the Tigers amass over 500 yards and 48 points, Klubnik’s self-assessment was tinged with disappointment, particularly about his passing. “Personally, I’m pretty upset about a couple of my throws […]

Clemson football seemed to fall off everyone’s radar after their Week 1 loss to then-No. 1 Georgia. However, in their last three games, the Tigers have reminded everyone who they still are, outscoring their opponents 165-69, winning three in a row. It’s almost like they’ve been playing with a chip on their shoulder. Many wanted […]

Has everyone already forgotten about Clemson football? After their Week 1 defeat by Georgia in Atlanta, where they only managed three points compared to the Bulldogs’ 34, many people wrote off the Tigers.

The Clemson football team still has names that college football fans know like Cade Klubnik and Dabo Swinney, but the Tigers haven’t been up to their usual standards in recent years.

Clemson football didn’t get off to the greatest start this season, suffering a lopsided 34-3 loss to the Georgia Bulldogs last weekend in Atlanta.

The Clemson Tigers’ 2023 season did not meet their standard. For a program used to winning National Championships and making the College Football Playoff, going 8-4 in the regular season is considered a disappointment. But a new season brings with it a new opportunity. The Tigers certainly have the talent and coaching to get back […]

The No. 22 Clemson Tigers will be returning to a very familiar site when they face the Kentucky Wildcats in the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl on Dec. 29. Although it is familiar, it is not quite where Dabo Swinney and his Tigers (8-4) thought they would be at season’s end. Clemson football is suffering its first […]

Clemson football grabbed a much-needed win against Notre Dame in Week 10, beating the Fighting Irish 31-23 at home to move over .500. Quarterback Cade Klubnik was playing through a foot injury though, and ultimately threw for 109 yards, one TD, and one interception while completing 13 of his 26 passes. Not a great performance, […]

Another week, another loss for Dabo Swinney and the Clemson Tigers football team, marking the second consecutive loss in a row, this time against NC State football on Saturday.

Remember when Clemson football was the talk of the sport after winning two national titles in two years (2016, 2018)? Remember when Dabo Swinney was winning Coach of the Year awards?

Clemson football head coach Dabo Swinney remains unsure if cornerback Nate Wiggins and wideout Antonio Williams will suit up against Syracuse on Saturday.

After entering the season with national title expectations, the Tigers finished 11-3, going undefeated against ACC foes but losing each of its major non-conference matchups—including an ugly 31-14 defeat to Tennessee in the Orange Bowl. Coach Dabo Swinney was no doubt disappointed as anyone by his […]

Clemson football and Dabo Swinney endured a disappointing- by their lofty standards- season in 2021, winning 10 games while falling short of the College Football Playoff, a destination they’ve become familiar with in recent years. Last year’s starting quarterback, DJ Uiagalelei, contributed to the underachieving squad, as the former 5-star recruit had a very uneven […]

D.J. Uiagalelei is considered QB1 for the Clemson Tigers in 2022-23, but he could be facing some competition for snaps. Five-star recruit Cade Klubnik is looking very good early on and he appears to be handling the transition to the college game with ease. Most importantly, he’s impressing head coach Dabo Swinney, who says Klubnik […]
