Clemson’s 2026 Rebound or Repeat? | Syracuse Orangemen Football News

Clemson’s 2025 season was a brutal crash after their championship run, plummeting from No. 4 to outside the top 25 by week four thanks to a shocking loss to Syracuse and finishing 7-6. Quarterback Cade Klubnik’s ankle injury crippled their offense, while a shambolic pass defense surrendered over 250 yards per game. Three close losses and costly mistakes doomed their season. But 2026 could be redemption: Chad Morris returns as offensive coordinator, and a healthy Christopher Vizzina takes over at QB. On defense, new safeties Jerome Carter and Corey Myrick, plus Donovan Starr from Auburn, aim to fix the leaky secondary. Most predict an 8-win bounce-back — and I’m betting they crush Syracuse 35-10.
