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? Well, it seems like that has now been easily forgotten after the Tigers suffered their third loss of the season on Saturday against Miami […]

Clemson football head coach Dabo Swinney remains unsure if cornerback Nate Wiggins and wideout Antonio Williams will suit up against Syracuse on Saturday. The latter sat out Clemson’s 31-24 loss to Florida State this past weekend due to an ankle injury. On the other hand, Nate Wiggins suffered a bone bruise during the game against […]

The Clemson football program made four National Championship appearances from 2015 to 2019, but the last few years have not been up to the lofty standards set by Dabo Swinney since taking over as the team’s head coach. The elite play of quarterbacks Deshaun Watson and Trevor Lawrence has given way to solid but at […]

Since the College Football Playoff started in the 2014-15 season, Clemson football has been one of the most dominant teams in the entire country. The Tigers and Alabama have been the most consistent teams since then in terms of playoff appearances and national championships. However, throughout the past couple of years, it looks like Clemson’s […]

Entering the year ranked No. 9 in the country, Clemson football had hopes of a historic season. However, a Week 1 collapse against ACC rival Duke sent Clemson and their title hopes in a tailspin. Still, quarterback Cade Klubnik doesn’t think it’s a lost season despite the Tigers’ horrific loss. Next time Clemson takes the […]

How will Clemson fare during the 2023 football season? It ended its 2022 campaign with an overall record of 11-3 after it jumped out to an 8-0 start in the regular season. It capped off its 2022 regular season run with a one-point loss to South Carolina and a 2-2 record in its last four […]

Nicholas Singleton had a big freshman year for Penn State football in 2022. He got 156 carries and rushed for 1,061 yards, 12 touchdowns and averaged 6.8 YPC. As a true freshman. That is extremely impressive, and he is expected to be one of the best running backs in the country this season. His superb […]

Clemson football experienced an uncharacteristic down year in 2022. 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 […]

Barring a major surprise in the coming months, the Clemson Tigers will hand the keys to the offense to Cade Klubnik for their 2023 regular season opener against Duke. Klubnik logged a mere 22 pass attempts in the regular season last year. Klubnik’s time to shine came in the 2022 ACC Championship Game, as he […]

Quarterback Cade Klubnik just finished his freshman season at Clemson, but he already has his sights on the legacy that he will leave behind. During a recent appearance on the Next Up podcast with Adam Breneman, Klubnik spoke about how he would like to be remembered at Clemson. With his answer, Klubnik made it clear […]

The college football offseason is officially here, and the coaching carousel is in full swing. While most of the attention rightfully goes towards the head coaches, the right assistant coach hires can also completely change a team. Of all the assistant coach hires this college football offseason, Clemson made the biggest splash so far on […]

Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney has plenty of confidence in Cade Klubnik ahead of the 2022 Orange Bowl against Tennessee. With D.J. Uiagalelei off to Oregon State, Klubnik will make his first career start for the Tigers on Friday in the Orange Bowl. Klubnik threw a mere 22 total passes over the regular season, as […]

Cade Klubnik is preparing to make his first career start for Clemson football in the Orange Bowl against the Tennessee Volunteers. And Klubnik’s parents are practically moving mountains to ensure they’ll be there to see their son in action. The Klubniks, natives of Austin, Texas, had their flight out of Austin cancelled. Instead of panic, […]

It appears that former five-star quarterback DJ Uiagalelei has played his final game with the Clemson Tigers. On Monday, he announced his decision to enter the transfer portal. DJ Uiagalelei announced his decision with a tweet. Forever Thankful 🧡💜 pic.twitter.com/EVgNLBvKAj — DJ Uiagalelei (@DJUiagalelei) December 5, 2022 DJ Uiagalelei spent two seasons as the Tigers […]

The Clemson Tigers football team secured an ACC Championship game win over the North Carolina Tar Heels, though the game did not come without a Cade Klubnik–DJ Uiagalelei controversy. Clemson football head coach Dabo Swinney benched Uiagalelei after his first two series of the game, opting to go with Klubnik, who excelled in the big-game […]

Heading into the ACC Championship against the North Carolina Tar Heels, the eighth-ranked Clemson Tigers will stick with DJ Uiagalelei as their starting quarterback. But this doesn’t mean that he will be the only one to take the field for them. DJ Uiagalelei will be entering the ACC Championship game coming off arguably the worst […]

The Clemson Tigers’ spot in the initial College Football Playoff rankings shocked the world. Widely projected at No. 5, the team surprisingly made it into the top -our. However, that fairytale quickly became a nightmare. In the first game after the rankings were unveiled, the Tigers suffered a blowout 35-14 loss to the then-unranked Notre […]

Clemson football may have won yet again on Saturday, but it was far from the usual dominant performance. Facing off against undefeated Syracuse at home, the Tigers struggled mightily and trailed 21-10 heading into halftime. They came back to win 27-21, but it was easily their least impressive performance this season. A big part of […]

After going down 21-10 with five minutes left to go in the third quarter, Dabo Swinney took a chance that, at least at the time, felt like it could re-shape the face of Clemson Football forever. After watching his quarterback, DJ Uiagalelei, throw two interceptions and lose a fumble in his 30th appearance for the […]

Another college football Saturday has arrived, and this is a special one. It’s now week 4, which means conference play is really starting to ramp up. This slate features some heavyweight matchups, including a must-watch game in the ACC. All of this brings us to a Clemson football clash against Wake Forest. To kick off […]

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 […]

The Clemson Tigers had some of the best quarterback play of any college football team over the last decade. Both Deshaun Watson and Trevor Lawrence became stars at Clemson and established the Tigers as a college football powerhouse. Great quarterback play helped the Tigers win two national championships and make six appearances in the College […]

The Clemson Tigers found themselves in a strange place last season: not on top. Their streak of six consecutive ACC championships and College Football Playoff berths came to an abrupt end in 2021. It was a foreign feeling to a team that became accustomed to winning. Clemson’s defense continued to perform at a high level, […]

  Cade Klubnik surveyed the field. This was the quarterback’s last chance, with 1:47 left on the game clock on 4th-and-goal from the one-yard line. Klubnik led his Austin Westlake Chaparrals to the Texas state semifinals, but found his team trailing North Shore high school, 21-17. The winner would advance to the State Championship game […]
