Clemson vs. Penn State:Tigers Fall to the Nittany Lions 22-10
Clemson and Penn State met today in the Bad Boy Mowers Pinstripe Bowl. When I told my wife what bowl game we were playing in she said “What the hell is that?” and I laughed hard. How far we have fallen. Both teams had high hopes at the beginning of the season, but things just […]
2025 Pinstripe Bowl: Clemson Tigers vs. Penn State Nittany Lions: How to Watch, Live Gamethread
We’ve reached the end of another season. Certainly not the season any of us expected 5 months ago. I’m pretty sure you would have been laughed out of the building if you suggested the Tigers would be 7-5 after losing to Duke, Georgia Tech, Syracuse, SMU, and LSU. But we all underestimated just how much […]

What Is EPA, and Why It Matters in College Football
In my article about what kind of teams beat Clemson this year, I dipped my toes into the world of EPA. In a previous life, I was an engineer and loved data. I had heard of EPA, but didn’t know much about it. So, I did a fair amount of research. What I did not […]

For the Clemson faithful, the Palmetto Series isn’t just another non-conference game, it’s a measuring stick of the university’s achievements for the year as a whole.

Date: Tuesday, Dec 16Tip Time: 7:00 PMGame Location: Clemson, SC – Littlejohn ColiseumTV: ESPN2 Gauging Clemson So Far I predicted Clemson to finish 22-8 (12-6) and make the NCAA tournament.

What Kind of Teams Beat Clemson in 2025? The Data Reveals a Blueprint
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 […]

Tigers Let 22-Point Lead Slip in Heartbreaker Against BYU
For 20 minutes, Clemson (7-3) looked every bit the giant slayer.

But what followed was a collapse that […]
