Locked On Clemson - Daily Podcast on All Things Clemson Sports

Clemson’s defense gave a championship-level effort in Death Valley, holding LSU to just 17 points and shutting down their run game for most of the night. Unfortunately, the offense couldn’t match that performance. Cade Klubnik had one of his worst games as a Tiger, missing routine throws and reads while the run game was completely abandoned. In today’s show, we break down Dabo Swinney’s blunt comments about Cade and the offense, explain why the problem was execution more than scheme, and dive into the PFF grades that tell the real story of who stepped up and who struggled. Plus, what changes Clemson must make ahead of a tricky matchup with Troy in Week 2.

The host analyzes Dabo Swinney's candid post-game comments and Garrett Riley's offensive strategy, questioning if Clemson can overcome these early-season stumbles.

Will Klubnik find his rhythm? Can Clemson's offense rediscover balance? Tune in for an in-depth look at the Tigers' path forward and what needs to change before their next big matchup.

Today we break down why Clemson ran the ball only four times in the third quarter and not at all in the fourth while the game was still within one score. We dig into how LSU’s five man and cover zero looks plus Clemson’s down and distance trapped the Tigers in pass heavy sequences. Segment two turns the heat on the offensive line that was billed as experienced but got fooled by stunts and lost leverage in key downs. We show how that hurt Cade’s timing and Riley’s call sheet. Segment three evaluates Cade’s 19 for 38 for 230 with no touchdowns and one interception, where the eyes went pre snap, when he bailed from clean pockets, and what is coachable right now. We finish with simple fixes the staff can install this week to get the run game back, calm the pocket, and get Cade back on schedule.

Breaking news: LSU’s projected starting safety A.J. Haulcy will be suspended for the first half against Clemson, and that could create a huge opportunity for Cade Klubnik and the Tigers’ wide receivers to attack early. But Clemson’s defense still has plenty to prove. The numbers show a strong overall unit, yet one that struggled against ranked opponents and elite rushing teams. Can the front four hold up, or will LSU’s offense expose old weaknesses?

Dabo Swinney’s press conference ahead of Clemson vs LSU delivered three big storylines:

 

He says LSU’s offense has “no weaknesses” — is that respect, coachspeak, or reality?

 

Clemson enters the opener in great health, with Walker Parks back and Elijah Thurman praised as one of the most versatile OL Dabo has coached. Depth at WR, RB, and DB is also a major positive.

 

Dabo refuses to release a Week 1 depth chart, calling it “mysterious” — sparking speculation about who will actually start against LSU.

 

Morgan Thomas of Locked On Clemson breaks down what these comments mean for Saturday’s Death Valley showdown.
