The Clemson Tigers face a critical crossroads as Christopher Vizzina leads a high-stakes quarterback battle with true freshman Tate Reynolds ahead of a challenging schedule, including playing at LSU Week 1. Dabo Swinney almost always rides with the experienced quarterback, at least to begin a season, so look for Vizzina to get the nod at quarterback. Will Swinney's loyalty to veteran players pay off, or will the pressure for improved clutch performances define the season? The arrival of impact transfers aims to shore up Clemson's depth, especially in the secondary, but question marks linger over the defensive line and Vizzina's ability to make game-changing plays after the Tigers went 7-6 in 2025. Brian Smith and Morgan Thomas break down Clemson's transfer portal overhaul, the return of Chad Morris as offensive coordinator, and rising expectations in an ACC that demands more than mediocrity. Key discussions spotlight Elliott Washington's potential in the secondary, Vic Burley's underwhelming development, and the fanbase's restless call for double-digit wins. Will adjustments in staff and roster be enough to restore Clemson to national prominence, or is another season of frustration leading to Swinney coming under fire from Clemson fans?

In this episode, part of our Clemson Football 2026 Season Preview content, we've got details on three of the key areas where the Tigers need to show advancements on both sides of the ball: Dictating a physical tone of play, eradicating fundamental mistakes, and controlling the running game. We'll talk about some of the new expected starters, who include Christopher Vizzina at quarterback and Gideon Davidson at running back, as well as position groups like the defensive line and offensive line that must rediscover the level of play that brought Clemson two national championships in the last 10 seasons. Second-year defensive coordinator Tom Allen seeks a physical identity for his defense, and new (but familiar) offensive coordinator Chad Morris and his QB, Vizzina, have to get on the same page.

This week on THE DAWN, we caught up with Texas State head coach GJ Kinne as the Bobcats enter their first season in the Pac-12.I've been tracking Coach Kinne since his recruiting days as a big-time QB prospect, and he's been on a rocket ship in the coaching profession from the moment he traded his cleats for a whistle. After sitting down with him it's clear he has an ‘It Factor' that's translated straight into coaching, and that comes through during our conversation in the limited series, THE DAWN, presented by the Pac-12 and Y-Option.Coach Kinne inherited a program that had never reached a bowl game, never beaten rival UTSA, and never notched a Power Four win. He got all three done in year one, and he credits it to instilling confidence and an aggressive, swing for the fences mindset from the start.Coaching runs in GJ's blood. His father spent decades as a Texas high school coach, and GJ played and worked under a run of respected names including Todd Graham, Gus Malzahn, Chad Morris, Mike Norvell, Chip Kelly, Ryan Day, Bill Musgrave, and Jeff Stoutland. But it was Super Bowl winning coach Doug Pederson who gave him advice early on that stuck: just be yourself.That philosophy has carried him through head coaching stops at UIW and now Texas State as they enter the reimagined Pac-12.Watching Coach Kinne build this thing from the ground up, I keep coming back to the same thought: the rocket ship isn't slowing down anytime soon.Y-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth is a reader-supported publication.

In this college football podcast episode, we begin our three-part 2026 ACC preview by zooming out and attempting to make sense of the conference as a whole. Miami enters the season as the clear favorite, with Darian Mensah taking over at quarterback and another roster built to reach the College Football Playoff. But can the Hurricanes finally win their first ACC championship? From there, we sort the rest of the ACC into contender tiers and confront the question that defines the league this season: Who comes after Miami? We debate how much to trust Kevin Jennings and SMU, Jeff Brohm’s latest rebuild at Louisville, Clemson’s return to Chad Morris and the long list of possible challengers lurking in the conference’s crowded middle. We also examine the unusually unsettled quarterback landscape, widespread offensive line turnover, the arrival of James Franklin at Virginia Tech and the pressure facing Mike Norvell at Florida State. Plus, we identify our ACC pet teams, search for surprise storylines and hold an entirely unnecessary conference nickname draft.Support the show!: https://www.patreon.com/solidverbalSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Clemson Tigers face critical crossroads as Dabo Swinney embraces the Transfer Portal and NIL, but questions remain—are ten portal additions enough to ignite a title run? With recruiting shifts and one player from Georgia in the last cycle, can Clemson reclaim dominance in its traditional strongholds and win key battles against SEC rivals? Brian Smith breaks down Clemson's evolving tactics, Chad Morris's impact as offensive coordinator, and the looming quarterback battle. Spotlight falls on portal newcomers like Chris Johnson Jr., London Merritt, and Elliot Washington II, plus top prospects Gideon Davidson and Bryce Kish. The discussion explores Clemson's O-line depth, defensive tackle concerns, and the potential for Sammy Brown to anchor the defense. Has Clemson's NIL strategy evolved enough to attract elite talent and secure ACC supremacy? Tune in for sharp recruiting insights, depth chart evaluations, and a look at whether the Tigers have found the right recipe to reclaim their championship pedigree.

Chad Morris 03-25 by Phil Kornblut, Chris Burgin, and Josh Cohen

It's an honest and encouraging conversation about becoming a better writer.

Chuck opens with an interesting question for Tennessee fans when it comes to their QB. Chuck analyzes the indifference Memphis fans are feeling towards losing Ryan Silverfield to Arkansas.
