Louisville Analytics Analysis: Overcoming Adversity At Every Turn
Clemson’s 20–19 win over Louisville becomes much clearer when you break the game down beyond the box score and into the underlying situational metrics. The Tigers were outgained and struggled on third down, but they quietly won critical margins such as points off turnovers, field position, discipline and high-leverage special teams plays. OFFENSE • Total […]
ACC Power Rankings Post-Week 12
Clemson beat a ranked team in the regular season! Virginia dominated Duke and Georgia Tech barely edged Boston College. Teams that are bad 17. Syracuse (3-7 [1-6] Prev 17): Syracuse was off this week. They’ll go to South Bend to face Notre Dame next week and it will probably get ugly. 16. Boston College (1-10 […]

North Alabama Lions (2-2) Conference: Atlantic Sun Coach: Tony Pujol KenPom Ranking: 249 Previous Game: 74-78 loss to Est Tennessee State Game Location: Littlejohn Coliseum Tip Time: 9 PM TV: ACC Network The vast majority of my previews will focus on the opponent, but let’s be real, this game is more about Clemson than the […]
Clemson Basketball Loses Physical Battle at Georgetown
Clemson traveled to Washington DC for their first major test of the young basketball season, and we were treated to a fun, physical basketball game. Georgetown came out swinging, playing extremely aggressive defense and seemingly flustering the Clemson offense. If not for a missed FT and missed open 3-pointer, the Hoyas could have built a […]
Clemson Basketball Preview: Georgetown
Three warmup games, three blowout victories. It’s been a thrilling start to the season for this new Clemson squad which has topped 80 points in each of its first three games. The offense has been humming, flexing a seemingly deep roster with five different players averaging at least 10 PPG so far. Ace Buckner has […]
Clemson vs. Louisville: Tigers Squeak by the Cardinals 20-19
Clemson traveled north to take on Louisville as a slight underdog. The first half was a back and forth affair with both teams making costly mistakes. The score was 10-9 Clemson at the half. Cade Klubnik was playing pretty well but some of his receivers were dropping passes that they should have been able to […]
Clemson Tigers vs. Louisville Cardinals: How To Watch, Live Gamethread, Online Streaming
I’m not sure that anyone had this game as the toughest on Clemson’s schedule back in August. Most would have picked LSU for that one. But here we are in November and #20 Louisville has one of the better chances of making the Playoff in the ACC, even with their loss to Cal last weekend. […]
Game 10 Preview: Clemson Travels to Take on Louisville
A Chance for a Shred of Redemption for the 2025 Team! Super happy to be back writing a preview coming off a win for a change. It wasn’t pretty in stretches and the Tigers definitely dodged more than one bullet on mistakes, but all the credit to a squad continuing to battle and finding a […]
Scouting Report: Louisville Cardinals
OFFENSE Summary: Louisville’s offense ranks 6th in scoring and 9th in total yardage, built on efficiency and balance. Isaac Brown (8.6 YPC) provides explosive runs, while QB production is solid but turnover-prone. Chris Bell accounts for over one-third of Louisville’s air attack, making him the focal point of their passing game. → Clemson Strategy (Defending […]
Clemson Basketball: Tigers Stand on Business – Clemson 83 – Morehead State 56
The newly constituted Clemson basketball team continued to impress in the early season, running their record to 3-0 with an 83 -56 dismantling of Morehead State in Littlejohn Coliseum Tuesday night. Jake Wahlin and RJ Godfrey were the story of the night for the Tigers, with Wahlin scoring a team leading 14 points to go […]

Clemson Basketball Preview: Morehead State
Game 3 for Brad Brownell’s Exciting New Squad When: Tuesday, Nov 11 – 7:00pmWhere: Littlejohn ColiseumTV: ACCNX It will be a bit before we truly know what this 2025-2026 Clemson men’s basketball squad can accomplish, but for a team with an almost entirely new roster, the engine has been humming relatively well to this point.

ACC Power Rankings Post-Week 11
Clemson finally won a home game while both Louisville and Virginia suffered upset losses at home. All of a sudden, Pitt is the talk of the town, and they didn’t even play this weekend. 17. Syracuse (3-7 [1-6] Prev 17): Syracuse went to Miami and lost 38-10 in a game where nobody looked amazing. Syracuse […]
Clemson vs. Florida State: Tigers Throttle the Seminoles 24-10
Clemson hosted Florida State at Death Valley today in what not so long ago was a game that would annually be a game with ACC, if not national, championship implications. This year, with both teams hanging around at the bottom of the standings, the pride of beating an old foe would have to be the […]
Clemson Tigers vs. Florida State Seminoles: How To Watch, Live Gamethread, Online Streaming
So anyone got a spare defense lying around? Maybe we shouldn’t have been surprised with the warning signs last year, but this defense stinks. While the offense hasn’t always been perfect they usually perform well enough for Clemson to win. Then the defense takes the field, gives up points in hilarious fashion, and everyone ends […]
Clemson Basketball Runs Past Runnin’ Bulldogs as Several Tigers Stand Out
Clemson left no doubt in their quest to reach 2-0 this basketball season. It took less than 10 minutes for the Tigers to build a 29-10 lead. They’d lose a little steam before halftime and enter the break with a 15-point advantage at 45-30. In the second half, they were even more dominant outscoring the […]
Game 9 Preview: Clemson Desperately Hopes to Reverse Slide vs. Florida State
What Used to be the Marquis Matchup in the ACC has Become…Something Else. Sometimes I really hate being right. I had Duke winning close in my preview, and that is certainly what we saw happen (even closer than I thought!). Clemson’s defensive failings reared their ugly head time and time again. Now Clemson fans just […]
Clemson Basketball Preview: Gardner-Webb
The coolest part about Gardner-Webb is that they aren’t just the Bulldogs, they’re the Runnin’ Bulldogs. That beats UGA any day in my book. Unfortunately for these Bulldogs, that’s about where the notable facts end for a team that finished a dismal 11-20 last year in the Big South Conference. Much like Brad Brownell, second-year […]
Scouting Report: Florida State Seminoles
Florida State presents as a complete and efficient football team with top-tier production across all phases. Offensively, the Seminoles combine an elite rushing unit with explosive, high-efficiency passing that thrives off play-action and misdirection. Defensively, they’re disciplined and fast, built to limit big plays and generate takeaways. Let’s take a look at the data. Offense […]
Florida State at Clemson Q&A Preview
Ryan Kantor: Before last weekend, FSU had lost nine straight ACC games. In a time when James Franklin (PSU), Brian Kelly (LSU), and Billy Napier (UF) were fired for less, are you surprised FSU has kept Mike Norvell? Do you believe his job is still in the balance with some toss-up games remaining? Tim Alumbaugh: […]
Explosives and Errors: Clemson vs Duke Analytics
Clemson’s offense delivered one of its most balanced efforts of the season, moving the ball efficiently and finishing drives with precision. But every surge forward was met with a setback — a defensive breakdown, a special teams lapse, or a missed opportunity to close out a possession. Duke capitalized on those cracks, striking for long […]
Clemson Basketball Begins Season With 50-Point Win
The Clemson Tigers (1-0) opened the season with a resounding victory over the visiting New Hampshire Wildcats (0-1) by a score of 88 to 38 on Monday night in Littlejohn Coliseum. The season opener seemed like an introductory press conference to the fans as returning senior guard Dillon Hunter was the only returning Tiger on […]

ACC Power Rankings Post-Week 10
This weekend, Clemson and Miami found ways to lose while Virginia keeps findings ways to win. Florida State and North Carolina finally had much-needed breakthrough wins in what was another mixed up week in the ACC. 17. Syracuse (3-6 [1-5] Prev 14): Since beating Clemson, ‘Cuse is 0-5. The last time Syracuse beat Clemson was […]
Clemson Basketball preview: New Hampshire
I don’t remember the last time I told myself, “I’m really glad we can start focusing on basketball season,” but that’s where we’re at currently in Clemson, South Carolina, and it’s time to see what Head Coach Brad Brownell has cooked up for the new men’s basketball season. It was a brutal end to last […]
