Clemson Won. So Why Do I Feel WORSE About This Team? | Clemson Tigers Podcast

Clemson beat Georgia Southern 22-7, but the scoreboard does not tell the story.After getting blown out by LSU, Clemson needed to show that its offensive problems were largely the result of facing an elite defensive front. Instead, the Tigers produced just one offensive touchdown, struggled again on third down and relied on Nolan Hauser for five field goals.Morgan Thomas explains why the Georgia Southern win actually lowered his confidence in Clemson, why the LSU performance no longer looks like an isolated problem, and why Clemson’s strange combination of very few offensive touchdowns and a huge number of field goals says so much about this offense.The discussion also gets into Chad Morris, Christopher Vizzina’s injury, Tait Reynolds, Clemson’s offensive line, the “development” argument and why simply getting better is not the standard for a program that expects to compete for championships.With North Carolina next, Clemson needs more than another win. It needs to show that this offense is actually capable of becoming something the Tigers can win with.00:00 Clemson Won, But I Feel Worse03:28 Is Clemson Just a Mediocre Team?05:15 Georgia Southern Proved LSU Wasn’t the Only Problem06:32 Clemson Goes 1-for-13 on Third Down08:52 Clemson’s Quarterback Problem Gets More Complicated15:57 Clemson Can Move the Ball, But Can’t Finish17:58 Nolan Hauser Might Be Clemson’s Offensive MVP19:24 Why This Offense Can’t Keep Up With Good Teams21:30 Does Clemson Even Know How to Fix This?25:10 Stop Celebrating “Development”31:04 Best Is the Standard33:23 The Clemson Painting Still Doesn’t Make Sense35:06 North Carolina Becomes the Next Real TestSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!KALSHIFor a limited time, Download Kalshi and use code Locked On to get $25 when you trade $25.
