Description

Clemson Tigers’ offensive “progress” comes under the microscope as Morgan Thomas questions whether recent efficiency is real growth or mere perception. Despite Cade Klubnick’s improved stats—eight touchdowns and just one interception over four games—skepticism remains due to weaker opposition and persistent issues on third downs and in the red zone. With the Tigers sitting at 4–4, can improved pass blocking and minor tweaks fuel a true turnaround?

Spotlight shines on Clemson’s wide receivers and tight ends, earning rare praise for consistency, while a new running back rotation featuring Adam Randall and rising talent Gideon Davidson sparks hope for the future. Morgan Thomas digs into the offensive line woes, puzzling player decisions, and lingering run-game struggles, questioning whether Garrett Riley’s play-calling can unlock the Tigers’ full potential. Is Clemson’s step forward real, or just a byproduct of softer competition?
