Clemson Pawcast

The #1 Clemson Tigers visited Bobby Dodd Saturday afternoon and ruthlessly exterminated the Yellow Jackets from Georgia Tech, showing no mercy to neither engineer nor scoreboard en route to a 73-7 victory in Atlanta. In this recap of the carnage, we discuss a Trevor Lawrence-led offense that seems to be hitting on all cylinders (10:15) and a defense that continues to flex its muscles behind wealth of talent and depth (41:06). We wrap with a look at last weeks notable games, discuss the absurdity of the rankings, and continue to state a case for this being the year a Group of 5 team makes the playoffs (58:28). After all, it is 2020...

Enjoy and Go Tigers!!!

The 7th ranked Miami Hurricanes expected to downpour upon making landfall in Death Valley on Saturday night but could muster no more than a drizzle as the #1 Clemson Tigers accounted for most of the devastation en route to a 42-17 victory. In this ep we recap yet another blowout of a top 10 opponent as a dual threat of Heisman contenders on offense (18:00), combined with a talented and aggressive Brent Venables defense (37:35), let the “U” know that they are not, in fact, back, special teams’ woes aside (51:44). We wrap with a review of last weekend’s action, try to figure out which Group of Five team finally makes it into the playoffs, and take a look ahead to Georgia Tech (58:51). Enjoy and Go Tigers!!!

The #1 Clemson Tigers faced their first test of the season in Death Valley on Saturday nigh against the reigning ACC Coastal champions, the Virginia Cavaliers, and, though pulling off an 18 point victory, head into next weekend's highly anticipated matchup against the #7 Miami Hurricanes with more questions than answers. In this ep we discuss the game and the struggles of a young, but talented, defense that gave up over 400 yards to the Cavaliers (3:13), a potentially lethal offense that has not quite yet found it’s identity (33:27), and a special teams unit that has quietly become a strength of this team (1:02:46). We wrap with a look ahead to the game against the Hurricanes this weekend and a look around at what continues to be an uncharted College Football landscape (1:06:58). Enjoy and Go Tigers!!!

The #1 Clemson Tigers shelled The Citadel in front of 19k socially distanced fans in Death Valley on Saturday afternoon, scoring all 49 points in the first half in a game that saw 100+ Tigers get in on the action. In this ep we recap an offense (4:55) that, led by Heisman candidate Trevor Lawrence, was unstoppable behind the first team offensive line but stalled once the backups entered the game, failing to put up points in the 2nd half. We also take a look at the defense (29:47) which, on the other hand, dominated throughout behind the strength of a rebuilt defensive line unit led by the phenomenal true freshman Miles Murphy and Bryan Bresee. We wrap with a look around the ACC and begin to ponder Clemson’s path to the playoffs with the SEC now slated to start next week and the Big 10 back in the fold (48:26). Enjoy and Go Tigers!!!

The Clemson Tigers are back for what is already shaping up to be an unusual and unpredictable 2020 college football season as, despite several key players not making the trip to Winston-Salem, presumably due to COVID-related precautions, the Tigers shook off some early rust in an eventual 37-13 route of Wake Forest on Saturday night. In this game recap we discuss an offense that once again opened up and found success in the passing game over the middle (8:16), a new look defense that returned to dominating the line of scrimmage (33:41), and a special teams unit now filled with veteran kickers who made their impact felt (44:54). We wrap with a look around college football and discuss the possibility of the Big 10 joining in on the action as conference officials continue to waffle on their decision (49:08). Either way, football is back. Enjoy and Go Tigers!!!

The Clemson Tigers take the field this Saturday in Winston-Salem to (hopefully) kickoff the 2020 football season against Wake Forest. In this annual season preview ep we break down the offensive (6:37), defensive (38:08) and special teams (1:07:34) squads that will lead the Tigers in seeking their 6th consecutive playoff birth, and 5th Nation Championship game appearance in that span, in what is now considered the new glory days of Clemson football. We then wrap with another quick look at the back-loaded regular season schedule and make our predictions for the College Football Playoffs and eventual national champion. Spot the damn ball and Go Tigers!!!

As the end of August Camp nears we are t-minus 3 weeks from the hopeful start of the College Football season and the dust has seemingly settled, for now, on which conferences are opting in or opting out of the 2020 campaign. While the lack of Big 10 participation the sport loses some luster but there is still plenty to be excited about as Trevor Lawrence, ETN, and a reloaded defensive line look to make it back to the playoffs for a 6th straight season.

In this ep we discuss the fallout from the Big 10 debacle, catch up on the storylines and standouts on offense and defense two weeks into camp, and continue to search for something to excite us about this years schedule (aside from the fact we’d get to watch football this year). Enjoy and Go Tigers!!!

August camp kicked off for the Tigers this week and the ACC released the 2020 schedule, offering a glimmer of hope that we may see a football season this fall. In this ep we continue to weigh the prospects of playing a full season, discuss the schedule and player storylines heading into camp. Hope y’all are staying healthy out there. Enjoy and Go Tigers!!!

And…We’re Back!!! Coming to you live from SIP and socially distanced, the Pawcast returns for it’s 6th season to discuss whether or not it will take place, and what it might look like if it does. If we do see football this Fall the Tigers will look to bounce back from a disappointing loss to LSU in last year’s National Championship Game, emerging as strong favorites for making their 6th consecutive playoff appearance and 5th title game over that span.

2020 has been a tough year to stomach for all thus far, but hopefully the return of sports will provide a welcome distraction. Spot the damn ball, now more than ever…Enjoy and Go Tigers!!!

The Clemson Tigers suffered their first loss in 30 games and failed to defend their national championship last Monday as Heisman Trophy winner Joe Burrow and the LSU Tigers reigned supreme in New Orleans. In this ep we recap the game and our experience in NOLA (1:36), offering our takes on what went wrong with the offense (16:29) and if there was anything the defense could have done to stop the combo of Joe Brady and Joe Burrow (27:44). We then take a look back on the 2019 season (41:12) before looking ahead to what 2020 has in store (48:28). Spoiler alert…we gonna be good. Enjoy and Go Tigers!!!
