Orange And White Without The Goggles
Clemson’s 20–19 win over Louisville becomes much clearer when you break the game down beyond the box score and into the underlying situational metrics. The Tigers were outgained and struggled on third down, but they quietly won critical margins such as points off turnovers, field position, discipline and high-leverage special teams plays.

Syracuse (3-7 [1-6] Prev 17): Syracuse was off this week. They’ll go to South Bend to face Notre Dame next week and it will probably get ugly. 16. Boston College (1-10 […]

Clemson traveled to Washington DC for their first major test of the young basketball season, and we were treated to a fun, physical basketball game. Georgetown came out swinging, playing extremely aggressive defense and seemingly flustering the Clemson offense. If not for a missed FT and missed open 3-pointer, the Hoyas could have built a […]

Three warmup games, three blowout victories. It’s been a thrilling start to the season for this new Clemson squad which has topped 80 points in each of its first three games. The offense has been humming, flexing a seemingly deep roster with five different players averaging at least 10 PPG so far. Ace Buckner has […]

Clemson traveled north to take on Louisville as a slight underdog. The first half was a back and forth affair with both teams making costly mistakes. The score was 10-9 Clemson at the half. Cade Klubnik was playing pretty well but some of his receivers were dropping passes that they should have been able to […]

I’m not sure that anyone had this game as the toughest on Clemson’s schedule back in August. Most would have picked LSU for that one. But here we are in November and #20 Louisville has one of the better chances of making the Playoff in the ACC, even with their loss to Cal last weekend. […]

A Chance for a Shred of Redemption for the 2025 Team! Super happy to be back writing a preview coming off a win for a change. It wasn’t pretty in stretches and the Tigers definitely dodged more than one bullet on mistakes, but all the credit to a squad continuing to battle and finding a […]

Clemson hosted Florida State at Death Valley today in what not so long ago was a game that would annually be a game with ACC, if not national, championship implications. This year, with both teams hanging around at the bottom of the standings, the pride of beating an old foe would have to be the […]

So anyone got a spare defense lying around? Maybe we shouldn’t have been surprised with the warning signs last year, but this defense stinks. While the offense hasn’t always been perfect they usually perform well enough for Clemson to win. Then the defense takes the field, gives up points in hilarious fashion, and everyone ends […]

Clemson left no doubt in their quest to reach 2-0 this basketball season. It took less than 10 minutes for the Tigers to build a 29-10 lead. They’d lose a little steam before halftime and enter the break with a 15-point advantage at 45-30. In the second half, they were even more dominant outscoring the […]

What Used to be the Marquis Matchup in the ACC has Become…Something Else. Sometimes I really hate being right. I had Duke winning close in my preview, and that is certainly what we saw happen (even closer than I thought!). Clemson’s defensive failings reared their ugly head time and time again. Now Clemson fans just […]

The coolest part about Gardner-Webb is that they aren’t just the Bulldogs, they’re the Runnin’ Bulldogs. That beats UGA any day in my book. Unfortunately for these Bulldogs, that’s about where the notable facts end for a team that finished a dismal 11-20 last year in the Big South Conference. Much like Brad Brownell, second-year […]

Ryan Kantor: Before last weekend, FSU had lost nine straight ACC games. In a time when James Franklin (PSU), Brian Kelly (LSU), and Billy Napier (UF) were fired for less, are you surprised FSU has kept Mike Norvell? Do you believe his job is still in the balance with some toss-up games remaining? Tim Alumbaugh: […]

Clemson’s offense delivered one of its most balanced efforts of the season, moving the ball efficiently and finishing drives with precision. But every surge forward was met with a setback — a defensive breakdown, a special teams lapse, or a missed opportunity to close out a possession. Duke capitalized on those cracks, striking for long […]
