We’ve got a great guest in broadcaster Roy Philpott of ESPN and SiriusXM to help us with some Clemson offensive breakdown topics, an ACC football season outlook, some thoughts on the Clemson transfer portal philosophy and more. Dabo Swinney’s program future is up in the air to hear many analysts tell it, so we join Philpott in taking a calmer look at the issues in front of the Tigers as this season winds down and another winter of changes looms. The Clemson Tigers’ offseason rebuild figures to be an intriguing one. Yet there’s still lots of football left to be played, and we also look at areas for potential progress before the games are finished being played. Big thanks to Roy for joining us!
