Orange And White Without The Goggles
In the low tide between the regular season/championship games and bowl season, I wanted to take a look at what it took to beat Clemson this year. Was it just luck? A specific unit falling apart? Joe Burrow and that 2019 WR corps? A Travis Henry RB that ran it 40 times per game? “Not […]

For 20 minutes, Clemson (7-3) looked every bit the giant slayer. The Tigers bullied No. 10 BYU (8-1) on the boards, locked down defensively, and sprinted to the locker room with the confidence of a team that wanted the game more and was executing at a lethal pace. But what followed was a collapse that […]

Clemson followed suit from the last couple years and got another Palmetto Bowl win at Williams Bryce stadium. Despite the score, this game was not as close as it would appear. Outside of 2 very poor plays that lead to 2 Gamecock touchdowns, the Tigers’ defense dictated the game from start to finish. Let’s take […]

Honestly it feels like it has been awhile since this one was really just for pride. Maybe 2010? After that it was about ending the Gamecocks winning streak. Or winning to ensure the Tigers maintained an undefeated season or playoff hopes. But now we’ve got two teams just playing out the string. The Gamecocks are […]

Can Clemson Continue its Columbia Dominance? That feeling has returned. What feeling you ask? It is the one where you carry all kinds of nervous trepidation into the game some refer to as The Palmetto Bowl. It might be a little unfamiliar to the younger generation, especially those who cut their teeth during Clemson’s dominant […]

The Palmetto Bowl brings out a different version of both teams, and Clemson knows better than to judge South Carolina solely by the numbers. The Gamecocks have been erratic all season—dangerous in spurts, frustrating in most others—but rivalry games reward volatility and punish mistakes. With Clemson patching together a makeshift offensive line and South Carolina […]

Date: Friday, Nov 28Tip Time: 7:00 PMGame Location: Clemson, SC – Littlejohn ColiseumTV: ACC Network Extra (ESPN3) Gauging Clemson So Far I predicted Clemson to finish 22-8 (12-6) and sneak into the NCAA tournament. That seemed optimistic at the time, given they’d lost all the contributors from last year’s squad but Dillon Hunter. So far, that optimism is […]

I don’t know what last Friday in Louisville was. I’m not sure anyone can call that football. But hey it worked for Clemson and the Tigers somehow eked out a win. Sometimes special teams and playing disciplined football matters. The good thing I guess is the Tigers weren’t terrible, except for 3rd down on offense. […]
