Pawcast 2023 Clemson Football Preview: The Departed by Clemson Pawcast

Emergency Pod and Clemson Offensive Coordinator change by Clemson Pawcast

The 2022 season ended in disappointing fashion for the Clemson Tigers who lost 3 of their last 6 games, including an Orange Bowl loss to a team wearing an inferior shade of orange. Bright spots this year were overshadowed by a deteriorating offense and QB controversy that will be discussed all offseason until the Tigers take the field again in 2023. In the meantime, 6-0 and 1st place in the ACC feels good. Enjoy and Go Tigers!!!

Shakin' the Southland's Quacking Tiger joined us to recap the 2023 recruiting class on the open of the Early Signing Period. This one had everything: transfers, returnees, the '23 class, NIL, the portal, Daboland, the Orange Bowl, and more! Tell a friend! Leave a 5* review! Subscribe to our YouTube channel!

The Cade Klubnik era began during the ACC Championship game in Charlotte Saturday night as #9 Clemson looked like Tiger teams of old in a 39-10 victory over #23 North Carolina. Better late than never, we guess…Enjoy and Go Tigers!!!

The wrong team laid an egg in Death Valley on Saturday as the #8 Clemson Tigers suffered an embarrassing 31-30 defeat to the South Carolina Gamecocks. With an ACC Championship game appearance upcoming and a NY6 bowl game on the line, the Tigers must go back to the drawing board on offense and figure out how to not repeatedly run it up the ‘A' Gap on first down. Enjoy and Go Tigers!!!

The #8 Clemson Tigers put together their best half of football of the year on Saturday in Death Valley and then stumbled their way to a 40-10 victory over the Miami Hurricanes. Next up is a peep of chickens coming of an impressive dirt pecking of Tennessee that no one saw coming, though we tend to think they'll have a hard time keeping the Tigers out of the henhouse this week. Enjoy the show and Go Tigers!!!

The #9 Clemson Tigers picked up where they left off before the game we shall not speak as they ran over the Louisville Cardinals en route to a 31-16 victory in Death Valley. Yes the Tigers can still make the playoffs. Do we want them to? Sure..we mean, of course we do. This is a step in the right direction. Enjoy and Go Tigers!!!

Touchdown Jesus was not kind to #4 Clemson on Saturday night as an unranked Notre Dame team dominated the Tigers in every facet of the game en route to a 35-14 victory in South Bend. Anybody else getting Napier/Steele vibes right now? Enjoy the show and Go Tigers!!!

The Tigers giveth, the Tigers taketh. Jaws of defeat, or something like that….After a shaky start and a spate of turnovers by the offense, the #5 Clemson Tigers overcame a rare 2nd half double-digit deficit to defeat the 14th ranked and undefeated Syracuse Orange 27-21 on Saturday afternoon in Death Valley. We don't know who the starting QB should be, so don't expect us to answer that in this show (It's DJ), but here's our recap of the game and mid-season review. Enjoy and Go Tigers!!! (It's DJ)

FSU recap time! Apologies for the delay, we were having technical difficulty this week - much like the Tiger defense in the 4Q in Tally. Let's go beat Cuse!

The #4 Clemson Tigers mercilessly ran up the score on Saturday night in Chestnut Hill en route to a 31-3 over Boston College. In this ep we discuss the offensive outburst that nearly brought BC head coach Jeff to tears. Enjoy and Go Tigers!!!

No victory cigar this year for Dave Doeren as the #5 Clemson Tigers overcame a slow start on both sides of the ball to pull away with a 30-20 victory over #10 NC State on prime-time in Death Valley on Saturday night. The Tigers now turn their attention to a struggling Boston College team as they continue to round into form and begin looking like a potential playoff contender. Enjoy the show and Go Tigers!!!

The defense decided not to defend the pass until the last play of the game, but they held on as DJ and the Tigers' offense continued to flash in a 51-45 double overtime victory in Winston Salem. Enjoy the show and Go Tigers!!!

With heavy hearts after the passing of Ella Bresee earlier in the week, the #5 Tigers cruised to a 48-20 victory over LA Tech on Saturday. Next up, the Tigers get their first test of the year on the road against a ranked Wake Forest team that will look to exploit a suspect Clemson secondary. Enjoy the show and Go Tigers!!!

Only DJ showed up for the game last weekend against Furman but #5 and the #5 Tigers loafed away with a 35-12 win. In this ep we bring the same energy in our recap of the game. Enjoy and Go Tigers! #ellastrong

The #4 Clemson Tigers pulled away in the 2nd half to top Georgia Tech 41-10 in the 2022 season opener. The offense showed signs of improvement and the defense was dominant, and we've also lost track of which Swinney is which. Enjoy the show and Go Tigers!

Shakin the Southland film writer Total Footba11 (www.twitter.com/Total_Footba11) came on to preview the Cheez-It Bowl matchup with the Iowa State Cyclones, and discuss the coaching shake-up at Clemson in the wake of the Tony Elliott and Brent Venables departures. Enjoy the show!

Quacking Tiger (@QuackingTiger) came on to recap Early Signing Day and discuss assistant and coordinator shakeup within the Clemson program. Enjoy the show!

With the Brent Venables departure to Oklahoma, we brought on Alex, John, and Matt from Shakin' the Southland and friend of the show William Childress (aka @heyitschili) to sulk and discuss the impact on Clemson football in the near and long term. Also, to celebrate Georgia's loss in the SEC Championship Game. Enjoy the show!

The Clemson Tigers took care of business Saturday in Williams Brice in the return of the annual rivalry game with South Carolina, coasting to a 30-0 victory that felt over from the get-go. In this ep we review a solid offensive performance that leaned heavily on the ground game, and the masterful job by what could be the last Brent Venables-led defense at Clemson. The Tigers now sit at 9-3 and #20 in the country as they await their bowl game destination and opponent, and for the coaching carousel to stop spinning. Enjoy and Go Tigers!!!

8-3: Clemson 48, (10)Wake Forest 27 by Clemson Pawcast

The Clemson Tigers stumbled to a 44-7 victory over UConn in Death Valley on Saturday, emptying the bench more out of necessity than dominance as the injuries continued to pile up. In this ep we touch on the UConn game, then look ahead to what Clemson will need to do to beat Wake Forest as they cling onto hopes of an ACC Championship Game appearance. Enjoy and Go Tigers!!!

The Clemson Tigers pulled off their biggest win of the season in Bourbon Country on Saturday as they came from behind for the second week in a row in defeating the Louisville Cardinals 30-24. In this ep, we discuss an offense that continued to show progress in posting their highest point total in an FBS game this season, and a defense that had trouble with a (healthy) Malik Cunningham, but made an incredible goal line stand to seal the victory for the Tigers. At 6-3, Clemson is now bowl eligible, could potentially end the season with 10 wins, and still has an outside shot of winning the ACC Atlantic. Enjoy and Go Tigers!!!

The Clemson Tigers avoided snatching defeat from the jaws of victory on Saturday in Death Valley, as the offense was able to put together a 4th quarter, game winning drive in what was ultimately a 30-20 over the Florida State Seminoles. In this ep we reflect on an ugly, yet deceivingly improved offensive performance that was overshadowed by 3 missed field goals, while the defense continued to hold serve, limiting FSU to under 300 yards of total offense while posting 6 sacks and 10 TFL's. At the end of the day, a win is a win (especially in 2021) and Clemson improves to 5-3 while somehow remaining in the hunt for an Atlantic Division title. However, unlike years past, this team does not control its own destiny, it's ACC opponents do, which when you put it that way, makes it actually seem possible. Enjoy and Go Tigers!!!

The Clemson Tigers continued their rapid descent from the top of the mountain on Saturday in a 27-17 loss to the #23 Pitt Panthers. The offense once again failed to crack the 20's in regulation against an FBS opponent, and the defense was worn down in what is already a season to forget, and one that's only barely halfway over. For the first time in a long time there's no joy in Daboville, and while there will certainly be brighter days ahead, remembering what it's like to suck, well, sucks. At least the Braves are in the World Series again. (Try to) Enjoy and Go Tigers!!!

We are joined by Quacking Tiger (twitter.com/quackingtiger) of STS fame to discuss Clemson Football at the 2021 season midpoint. Enjoy the show!

The Clemson Tigers narrowly escaped defeat in the Carrier Dome on Friday night, improving to 4-2 with a 17-14 win over Syracuse. It was a familiar story storyline in this 2021 season, as the defense (and special teams) once again bailed out an offense that continues to struggle to score. And though there were some hidden bright spots on offense, Clemson fans will need to remain content with another close win for now. Enjoy and Go Tigers!!!

For the first time since Hunter Renfrow walked on the Clemson football team, the Tigers are unranked after clawing their way to a 19-13 victory over Boston College on Saturday night in the Valley. And though there were some bright spots in this game, they were largely overshadowed by the fact that it wasn't pretty, and the attrition is mounting. In this ep we focus on these aspects of both the offense and the defense, discuss the increased reliance on special teams, and wrap with our thoughts on what a 2021 ACC Championship would mean for this team, and what it should for the fanbase. Enjoy and Go Tigers!!!

The wheels have come off for the Clemson football team as an ugly, 27-21 OT loss to N.C. State in Raleigh on Saturday drops the Tigers to 2-2 for the first time in 7 years. In this ep we discuss the structural issues plaguing this team, focusing primarily on an offense that has yet to put up more than 14 points in regulation against an FBS opponent. But though there have been brighter days in Tigertown, we posit that this is not quite yet the end of an era, though it appears much more than just a bump in the road. Enjoy(?) and Go Tigers!!!

2-1: (6)Clemson 14, G.T. 8 by Clemson Pawcast

Coming off of their first opening game loss in 7 years (also to Georgia), the #6 Clemson Tigers righted the ship in Death Valley on Saturday with a 49-3 victory over the S.C. State Bulldogs. In this ep we recap both this and the Georgia games (2:35), looking for signs of improvement for an offense that is still trying to find it's identity (30:49), while also searching for the right words to describe how dominant the 2021 version of Brent Venables' defense projects to be (1:05:34). We also discuss our updated predictions for the team's trajectory this year and wrap with a look around College Football (1:31:37). Enjoy and Go Tigers!!!

Clemson fell to the #5 Georgia Bulldogs by a 10-3 final in Charlotte. To recap the game, we invited Tom Dianora (@tom_dianora) onto the podcast.

College football is back in full for the 2021 season as the Clemson Tigers eye their seventh consecutive ACC Championship and College Football Playoff appearance. In our annual season preview show, we discuss the outlook for a team that is talentend if yet unproven on offense, and one that has all the pieces on the defensive side of the ball to be one of the most dominant in the Venables era. It's been a busy offseason off the field, but now it's time to spot the damn ball...Enjoy and Go Tigers!!!

#2 Clemson suffered their worse loss in the playoff era on New Year's Day as #3 Ohio State dominated all phases of the game, handing the Tigers a humbling 49-28 defeat that capped off an unusual 2020 season. In this ep we recap a game in which the Tigers had no answer for OSU on either side of the ball, as the Buckeyes defensive pressure stymied Trevor Lawrence and the offense (7:24) and the defense looked completely inept against a masterful game plan and gutsy performance by QB Justin Fields (33:57). In doing so we breakdown the Tigers' deficiencies and how it relates to recruiting, before offering an optimistic look ahead to their trajectory moving forward. We wrap with a quick look at the upcoming national championship game that will be played without the Tigers for only the 2nd time in 6 years (1:11:46). Remember, things could be worse, you could be a Gamecock fan. Enjoy and Go Tigers!!!

In this ep we preview the Sugar Bowl matchup between #2 Clemson and #3 Ohio State, with the help of our friend Chris from the former website ClemsonPaws.com. Tune in for a breakdown of Ohio State's personnel and scheme, and the implications of this game in the larger picture of these two elite programs. Enjoy and Go Tigers!!!

The #2 Clemson Tigers will be making their 6th consecutive trip to the College Football Playoff after claiming their 6th straight ACC title in a 34-10 blowout of fellow playoff contender Notre Dame. In doing so they avenged their loss to the Irish from 6 weeks prior when a depleted Tiger team lost in double OT in South Bend. In this ep we discuss the dominant performance and what having Trevor Lawrence back meant to the offense (11:46), and how the return of key defensive starters, combined with the development of some outstanding true freshman, held Ian Book and Notre Dame to 10 points the second time around (41:36). We wrap with a look ahead to the playoffs and Clemson’s matchup against six game winner Ohio State, and discuss the potential for playoff expansion (1:07:44). Enjoy and Go Tigers!!!

To preview the 3rd ranked Tigers' rematch with #2 Notre Dame in the ACC Championship Game, we brought on Nathan Atkins from Sports Illustrated's Irish Breakdown. Nate gave us his thoughts on the rematch, and whether Ian Book is up to the task. We also discussed the Brian Kelly regime and the playoff race. Enjoy and Go Tigers!!!

The #3 Clemson Tigers weathered the cold (and sprinklers) in Blacksburg last weekend, exiting with a 45-10 win over the Virginia Tech Hokies. In this ep we recap what was an otherwise unmemorable game that saw the Tigers' offense limited in possessions (8:26), and their defense that was on the field for nearly two-thirds of the game (36:12). We wrap with a look ahead to the upcoming playoffs and the impact Ohio State may have as a mere 6-0 team (57:38). Enjoy and Go Tigers!!!

Three weeks after suffering their first loss of the season to Notre Dame, the #3 Clemson Tigers were back on the field in Death Valley Saturday afternoon and showed that time heals all wounds, mounting a 52-17 victory over the Pitt Panthers in a game in which they led 31-0 after one quarter of play. In this ep we discuss the return of QB Trevor Lawrence and his impact on the offense (17:59), and a defense that forced 5 turnovers in welcoming back Tyler Davis, Jaime Skalski and Mike Jones Jr. into the mix while also showcasing freshman talent (43:03). We wrap with a look around college, discuss the latest rankings, and consider potential matchup scenarios heading into the playoffs (1:07:54). Enjoy and Go Tigers!!!
