Clemson's QB Competition Should NOT Be Over | Clemson Tigers Podcast

Locked On Podcast Network — Thu, 22 Oct 2026 03:00:39 GMT

Has Clemson settled for average quarterback play? Tait Reynolds has earned the starting job, but should Christopher Vizzina get another chance to compete as he returns from injury?

On today's Locked On Clemson, Morgan Thomas questions whether the Tigers have lowered their expectations at quarterback. Clemson has thrown just two touchdown passes through six games, and while Reynolds continues developing, his production hasn't proven that Clemson's quarterback situation is solved.

We discuss why Reynolds' 295 passing yards against Miami shouldn't automatically make him Clemson's long-term answer, how Clemson's offensive line complicates quarterback evaluations, and why competition should remain open throughout the season.

Christopher Vizzina entered the season as Clemson's starting quarterback before losing the job and dealing with an elbow injury. With Dabo Swinney reporting improvement in Vizzina's practice performance, should the Tigers give him another opportunity to compete?

Finally, we preview Clemson vs. Virginia Tech and the quarterback comparison that should concern Tigers fans. Ethan Grunkemeyer has already beaten Clemson once, while Virginia Tech's passing attack has been far more productive this season. Can Clemson's defense create enough pressure, and can Reynolds deliver when the Tigers need touchdowns through the air?

Brad Brownell, Part 2

Larry Williams — Wed, 21 Oct 2026 16:31:26 GMT

Every summer, Brad Brownell sits down with Tigerillustrated.com for a lengthy interview about the state of his basketball program.

The full Q&A from the 2026 session was published in written form in July.

Now we provide the full audio from that sit-down, which preceded the team's trip to Italy.

Some important developments have occurred in the months since that interview: Dillon Hunter re-joined the team, and talented guard Zac Foster suffered a re-torn ACL in last week's closed scrimmage against College of Charleston.

This is the second of two parts.

Clemson plays host to Georgia in an exhibition on Friday night.

Clemson's Plan Failed. Now the WRs Are Paying for It | Clemson Tigers Podcast

Locked On Podcast Network — Wed, 21 Oct 2026 02:51:16 GMT

Clemson football has thrown just TWO passing touchdowns through six games, and now the criticism is shifting toward the wide receivers. But are Bryant Wesco Jr. and T.J. Moore really the problem, or has Clemson's quarterback situation made it nearly impossible for this offense to succeed?

On today's Locked On Clemson, Morgan Thomas breaks down the growing debate among Clemson fans over who's responsible for the Tigers' struggling passing attack.

Clemson's top three receivers have combined for 79 receptions, 780 yards, and just one touchdown. Those numbers are disappointing considering the talent and investment in the position. But the bigger question is why Dabo Swinney and his coaching staff entered the season expecting Christopher Vizzina to lead the offense, only to find themselves relying on true freshman Tait Reynolds just two games into the year.

We examine Clemson's quarterback evaluation, offensive line struggles, Chad Morris' offensive system, and whether the coaching staff has put its best players in a position to succeed.

Then we turn our attention to Virginia Tech. The Hokies bring a productive passing offense and a defensive front capable of pressuring Clemson's offensive line. Can the Tigers finally create explosive passing plays, or will they once again need their defense, running game, and special teams to carry them?

Today's topics:

Are Clemson's wide receivers receiving too much blame?

Bryant Wesco Jr. and T.J. Moore's disappointing production

Why Clemson's quarterback succession plan failed

Tait Reynolds and Christopher Vizzina

Offensive line struggles and Chad Morris' responsibilities

Dabo Swinney's roster construction decisions

Clemson vs. Virginia Tech preview

Can Clemson win without a productive passing attack?

Clemson Is DEAD LAST in Passing TDs. Can They Really Win Out? | Clemson Tigers Podcast

Locked On Podcast Network — Tue, 20 Oct 2026 00:55:31 GMT

Clemson football is 4-2 after shutting out Charleston Southern 37-0, but the Tigers have a serious offensive problem. Through six games, Clemson ranks 138th nationally in passing touchdowns with just TWO and 107th in passing plays of 20 yards or more.
On today's Locked On Clemson, Morgan Thomas explains why the passing offense is becoming a major concern for Dabo Swinney, Chad Morris, and the Tigers heading into the second half of the season.
Dabo called Saturday Tait Reynolds' best game, but is the Clemson quarterback actually developing into the player this offense needs? The Tigers continue to struggle with pass protection, explosive plays, and finishing drives. At what point does the entire offensive system deserve more criticism?
We'll also discuss whether Clemson actually improved against Charleston Southern. The defense held the Buccaneers to just 76 total yards, Caden Story continued to emerge along the defensive line, and Nolan Hauser helped special teams deliver another outstanding performance. But how much does that tell us about Clemson's chances against ACC competition?
Finally, can Clemson realistically win out against Virginia Tech, Florida State, Syracuse, Georgia Tech, and Duke? The defense and special teams provide reasons for optimism, but the offense has yet to prove it can consistently produce enough touchdowns.
Topics covered:

Clemson ranks dead last nationally in passing touchdowns
Tait Reynolds and the future of Clemson's quarterback position
Chad Morris and the struggling passing offense
Clemson's 37-0 win over Charleston Southern
Defensive improvement under Tom Allen
Why special teams can't carry the entire team
Clemson's chances of winning out in ACC play
