Clemson can’t undo the Duke debacle, the late game collapse against Florida State, or the 2-2 start. It is what it is. What Clemson can do is get better, build confidence, and don’t let the start entirely derail the season. While the playoffs are gone, there’s still an outside shot at the ACC Title game, …

Honeymoon over for Brent Key after total debacle of a loss.
Remember last week when I said Brent Key had Georgia Tech on the right track after a win at Wake Forest? First of all, I turned out to be really wrong as I left a final ominous caveat at the end of that article. With a 1-3 Bowling Green next, Georgia Tech can’t afford to …

Louisville shows guts, maturity, and heart in win at NC State.
I saw tweets tonight that said Louisville is not that good a 5-0 team. Those accounts that said that are missing the entire point of what Louisville has accomplished so far this season. Nobody is saying that’s a playoff team – yet. The Cardinals came into the season with three 50/50 type games in their …

Duke could turn college football upside down with a win over Notre Dame.
There have been several unique and fun storylines in college football early this year, but if the Duke Blue Devils could take down Notre Dame in primetime ABC, in front of a sold-out home crowd, with college gameday on site then college football would truly be turned upside down in 2023. FOR THE FIRST TIME …

Brent Key quietly has Georgia Tech on track.
With so many ACC teams off to 4-0 starts, teams down the list can get lost in the shuffle. Georgia Tech is one of those teams that has quietly shown improved play over last year, but with a 1-2 that didn’t yet show it. Saturday Georgia Tech went to Wake Forest as an underdog with …

After latest Clemson loss, Dabo Swinney is becoming Tommy Bowden
As I watched Clemson vs Florida State today from the stands Saturday, something became clear to me. I’ve seen this series of Clemson games going back to last year all before. During the Bowden era, Clemson was rarely truly awful. Typically they were a 7-9 win team, that could show up at times and play …

Just a quick post for tonight… If you haven’t had the chance to read the Jordan Travis at FSU from ESPN and written by David Hale and Andrea Adelson it’s worth your time. Travis is one of the easiest players in college football to root for. This is someone who worked hard and persevered to …

Antonio Gates on his fatherly advice for his namesake and Nick Saban’s advice he ignored
Antonio Gates Sr. prefers climbing Spartan Stadium’s steps to its upper reaches when attending Michigan State football games. The vantage point allows one of the NFL’s greatest tight ends to anonymously watch his namesake, Antonio Gates Jr. “I get the game tickets on my own with friends, and I don’t leave my name at will …
