Dabo Swinney and the Clemson football program I have a lot of skeptics ahead of the 2024 college football season.
The Tigers have a wide range of results this upcoming season. If the offense takes the next step, Clemson could be one of the top contenders in the country. The issue is that many don’t believe they will. There are many doubts surrounding this program, but not all.
ESPN analyst Greg McElroy is fully aware of Clemson’s capabilities and warns against sleeping on the Tigers.
A lot of talk this offseason about Miami, a lot of talk about Florida State, rightfully so, you can argue those two lineups are the best in the ACC, but don’t sleep on Clemson,” McElroy said on his ESPN podcast. , “because this defense is built as a championship unit at all three levels. And offensively, if they can get more consistency from Cade Klubnik. more consistency in the run game behind Phil Mafah, their new starting running back – he was situational last year and played a lot, him now becoming the bell will be even more effective for this Clemson team to become more physical and more downhill in the racing game.
Clemson is a polarizing team, for sure, but even with all the media attention, McElroy believes they are flying under the radar.
I think Clemson is a team that is flying under the radar in a very good way for Dabo Swinney and the Tigers.
I I agree with what McElroy is saying here. Going unnoticed is great for the Tigers as it makes people doubt they and take them lightly. While there are no guarantees that the teams themselves will do this, we have seen what Dabo Swinney’s teams are capable of as underdogs.
