NC State Snapshot After face planting against Virginia, back-to-back road wins look pretty good. Except for the Clemson game, KenPom has the Wolfpack favored in each game for the rest of January. The Wolfpack needs to end January on a winning streak to boost the profile going into a very difficult February. Seven wins in […]

The big question tonight would be how the Irish would mentally rebound after getting defeat snatched from the jaws of victory by some brutal officiating in their last contest against Cal. Unfortunately, this was a game where sheer want-to wouldn’t be enough. Notre Dame was simply beaten by a team that didn’t so much dominate […]

Coach Brad Brownell would never admit it, but tonight’s homecoming matchup in his home state of Indiana probably meant a little more to him than your typical ACC conference game. When the dust settled in South Bend Indiana, Clemson found itself with a convincing 76–61 win at Notre Dame on Saturday night, moving to 14-3 […]

In Wednesday’s ACC Action, Virginia canned Cal 84-60, Clemson held on against SMU 74-70, Miami survived Wake Forest 81-77 and Stanford just nipped Virginia Tech 69-68. The Hokies set limiting turnovers as a goal and they accomplished that. Too bad they couldn’t limit Stanford’s freshman star Ebuka Okorie (that just auto-corrected to Ebuka Okra), who […]

If people had questions about the ACC being back, Saturday should have sorted that out. Aside from the close Duke-Florida State game, Virginia clubbed NC State, 76-61, Wake first slipped by Virginia Tech 81-78, Clemson escaped Pitt 73-68, Georgia Tech got by BC 65-53 and SMU upset UNC 97-83. It’s hard to understand what happened […]

Terry Smith talks about leading Penn State as the greatest moment of his life. Clemson was just not cut out to play in the cold. Trebor Pena was named Pinstripe Bowl MVP with a 100-yard receiving day that included an electrifying fourth quarter touchdown. Quinton Martin Jr.’s 101-yard rushing day could lead to big things […]

Dabo Swinney is an unabashed optimist, but at some point, reality has to set in for Dabo. Clemson might be years away from being relevant on the national scene again. Saturday was just more evidence of that. At Saturday’s Pinstripe Bowl, depleted Penn State beat Clemson 22-10. In fairness, Clemson was down nearly 30 players, … Continue reading »

1) Bad weather? No problem Below-freezing temperatures, swirling winds, and flurries of precipitation certainly worked in Penn State’s favor. Both teams struggled with the cold football, but the Nittany Lions proved to be the grittier team in the end. Ryan Barker, who was the clear MVP of the first half, stepped up when his team […]

Penn State’s tumultuous 2025 football season came to a close Saturday afternoon in Yankee Stadium. Thankfully, it ended with a fourth straight win, a little bit of fun, and some big plays from both familiar faces and some guys who were thrown into the fire. Ethan Grunkemeyer threw two touchdown passes in the final quarter […]

Look, let’s face it: while Duke made the Final Four last spring, the ACC regular season, and most of the tournament too, sucked. The conference was just basically helpless. Almost everyone sucked. Only Clemson was a real, consistent threat. It’s going to be very different this year. UNC is back on track, Louisville is looking […]

Even with all the opt-outs, transfers, lack of credibility, and arguably integrity to the college football post-season the games must go on. They still will be in the record books and for some coaches and programs, they are more important than others. Which three ACC football coaches need a bowl win the most? This is … Continue reading »

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 […]

While No One Thing is to Blame, There are Clear Signs as to why 2025 Fell Short. Now that the smoke has cleared from the 2025 season and Clemson knows its bowl destination, we have some time to look at why 2025 fell so far short of the lofty expectations this team collected prior to […]
