Midseason Musings: Clemson prepares to take on Charleston Southern
While usually I would be bringing you a Q&A with a writer who covers our opponent, getting a Charleston Southern writer was a bit more challenging than planned. So, instead you’ll get some thoughts from me about what I hope to see this week as the Tigers host the Buccaneers on Military Appreciation Day. But […]
ACC Power Rankings: Georgia Tech, Cal, Louisville, Wake Forest Big Winners in Week 6
Another great week of ACC football began on Friday when Pitt went to Virginia Tech for what turned into a last second thriller and ended when Miami clashed with Clemson in Death Valley. 17. Stanford (Prev 13): Stanford lost 58-7 at Notre Dame and did not score in the first half. 16. Boston College (Prev […]
Clemson 2026 Self-Scout: Where the Team Stands At The Bye Week
Clemson looks like two very different teams through the first half of the season. The defense has been good enough to keep Clemson competitive, while the offense has consistently struggled to sustain drives, create explosive plays and finish possessions. The problems on each side are also different. The offense has a connected series of issues […]
Week 5 Analytics Review: The Gap Remains The Same
Clemson didn’t lose this game because Miami was simply too talented to compete with. The Tigers lost because they were unable to consistently execute the things required to stay in the game. There were stretches where Clemson moved the ball, pressured the quarterback and looked capable of making Miami work for it. But those moments […]
ACC Power Rankings: Miami and Pitt Keep Winning while Clemson, Virginia, and VT Fall in Week 5
Another great week of ACC football began on Friday when Pitt went to Virginia Tech for what turned into a last second thriller and ended when Miami clashed with Clemson in Death Valley. The Bottom of the Conference 17. Georgia Tech (Prev 17): The Yellow Jackets had off this week. Meanwhile, their loss last week […]
Clemson Tigers vs. Miami Hurricanes: How To Watch, Live Gamethread, TV Schedule
Hard to believe Clemson has a 3 game winning streak, especially with this offense. While no one is going to call the Tigers good, they do seem to have at least stabilized a bit. The defense has a bit of talent, albeit talent that is driven by the performance of the defensive line. The offense….. […]
Game 5 Preview: Clemson Hosts Top 5 Miami in Huge Primetime Game
Clemson Hopes to Sing “Redemption Song” on Saturday Night Welcome back STS readers! Things are certainly looking a little more rosy for the Clemson Tigers after getting a good road win at California last week. Now the Tigers are 3-1 and more importantly 2-0 in ACC play. However, the new beast of the league is […]
Clemson vs Miami Q&A with State of the U
As Clemson rides a three game winning streak, the ACC’s hottest team comes to Tiger Town for an under the lights showdown in Death Valley. To break down Miami at Clemson, we’re joined by Justin Dottavio from “State of the U.” Before we dig in, a reminder to check out our friends at Section 103. […]
Week 5 Analytics Preview: Miami Hurricanes
Miami will roll into Clemson carrying an elite statistical profile — 4–0, 22nd in adjusted EPA per play, and a 94.1 offensive PFF grade. The Hurricanes boast individual stars in QB Darian Mensah (nation’s No. 1 QB grade) and WR Malachi Toney (No. 3). And the backup RB CharMar Brown is No. 9. However, context is vital: Miami achieved those numbers against the nation’s 112th-ranked […]
ACC Power Rankings: Clemson, Stanford, Wake Forest Notch Big ACC Wins in Week 4
Wake Forest’s road win at Louisville headlined another exciting week of ACC football that included two 10:30pm games on the West coast. 17. Georgia Tech (Prev 13): The Atlantic Coast woke up to see a 34-27 final score in Palo Alto as the Yellow Jackets couldn’t make the middle-of-the-night west coast trip work. They led […]
Week 4 Analytics: A Functional Win
This wasn’t a pretty football game, and Clemson still has plenty to clean up. The offense remains a work in progress, particularly through the air, and the number of penalties on both sides added to the sloppy feel of the night. But there was a meaningful difference from some of Clemson’s earlier performances: the offense […]
Clemson Gets it Done at California 24-10 on Friday Night/Saturday Morning.
The Big Goals are Still There at 2-0 in the ACC This was not pretty in a lot of places but it was huge. I’ve started getting more 2021 vibes with this team and the good thing about that team was they absolutely wrung just about all that could be wrung from a team that […]
Clemson Tigers vs. California Golden Bears: How To Watch, TV Schedule, Live Gamethread
I’ll be honest, I was surprised about how last week went, especially after the first quarter. For at least 1 game, Clemson showed the type of mental toughness that has eluded them for several seasons. I’m not going to sit here and say everything has been solved, Clemson is going to win out, and we […]
Clemson Football: Did One Ultimately Disappointing Drive Save Clemson’s Season? No Clue, but I Want to Believe
I’ve been trying to think of something to write about the Tigers all week. Not going to lie, I said some hurtful things and thought even worse as the UNC game dragged on toward the end of the 2nd quarter. Clemson was down 17-3 to a team whose coaching staff spent the last two seasons […]
Clemson vs Cal Q&A with Write for California
For the first time since destroying Alabama 44-16 for a National Championship in 2019, Clemson is going back to Cali. The Tigers have a late Friday night game against one of the ACC’s newest members, the Cal Bears. Jesse Miller-Gordon of WriteforCalifornia.com joins us to talk Cal football, what Tiger fans can expect in Berkley, […]
Game 4 Preview: Clemson Travels West to Face California on Friday Night
Can the Tigers Build on the End of the UNC Game? I decided this week to start with a little good, bad, and ugly from the previous week before I jump into the preview for this upcoming game. The UNC game was certainly a roller coaster ride both with the game and with the weather, […]
Week 4 Analytics Preview: California Golden Bears
Clemson will have its first road ACC test, on Friday night (why???), against a California team with a distinctly uneven statistical profile. The Golden Bears throw the ball frequently, but their passing efficiency is ordinary. Their rushing offense has been one of the weaker units nationally. Defensively, the picture is almost reversed: Cal has a […]
Clemson, Georgia Cancel 4-Game Series in Football
Clemson and Georgia have mutually agreed to cancel the upcoming 4 game series between the two schools according to reporting by the Athens Banner-Herald. The news was discovered via an open records request this week, though the agreement was signed back in March. The Tigers and Bulldogs planned to play each other 4 times starting […]
Week 3: UNC Analytics Review
Clemson needed to get on track, and against North Carolina it finally found enough consistency to turn a slow start into a convincing second-half response. The Tigers were outplayed early, but the game changed after halftime as the offense found more success on the ground and through the air while the defense increasingly disrupted North […]
ACC Power Rankings: Louisville, Clemson Earn Big Wins, NC State and Virginia Heartbreak in Week 3
Louisville couldn’t be stopped in a crucial ACC win against SMU as Lincoln Keinholz was dynamic. Clemson looked like the worst team in the ACC until they flipped a switch and came back against UNC. Virginia disappoints against West Virginia and holy cow what happened to NC State in Nashville? 17. Stanford (Prev 17): A […]

Clemson Tigers vs. UNC Tar Heels: How To Watch, TV, Online Streaming, Live Gamethread
Two weeks in, the football kind of sucks. The Georgia Southern game didn’t play out like we would want, and at some point “potential” if it even exists, has to turn in to performance. The opportunity for Clemson is the entire season can still be a a success. ACC play starts today, and in the […]
Game 3 Preview: Clemson Hosts UNC to Start ACC Play
The Tait Reynolds Era Begins in Earnest Greetings STS readers. Thankfully this is coming off a win, albeit it not a pretty one, last week vs. Georgia Southern. A loss there would have been catastrophic, but there are plenty of questions surrounding this year’s Tigers heading into the ACC opener. This is also family weekend […]
Week 3 Analytics Preview: North Carolina Tar Heels
ACC play arrives at a time when Clemson’s offense has yet to establish much of an identity. The problems that surfaced against LSU and Georgia Southern — difficulty sustaining drives, limited rushing production, terrible third-down efficiency and inconsistent passing efficiency — become harder to overcome as the competition improves. A true freshman quarterback is now […]
Clemson vs North Carolina Q&A with The Daily Tar Heel
Last year a struggling Clemson team found success in Chapel Hill against Bill Belichick’s first Tar Heel team. This year, the Tigers and still struggling and Carolina is 2-0. To help break things down we brought in Beckett Brantley from the Daily Tar Heel to give us some insight on Saturday’s matchup in Death Valley. […]
