Follow @Ryan_Kantor Mark Rogers posts hundreds of college football discussions on his website and after an early season discussion about Clemson and NC State, he was nice enough to invite me back to join him for a brief 14 minute discussion leading up to Clemson’s home game against Boston College. We discussed Clemson’s ever-improving defense, … Continue reading
Follow @Ryan_Kantor Let me begin by jokingly calling out Robert Reinhard, Wake Forest SB Nation blogger, for his #GoACC Power Rankings that have FSU ranked above Clemson. This comes despite Clemson’s win over UGA, which now looks like a top five team, while FSU’s best wins include a 14-point comeback win against Boston College last week … Continue reading
Follow @Ryan_Kantor What is this monstrosity? What in the world are they doing up in Blacksburg? Two years ago I gave Maryland a hard time about their ugly helmets and uniforms, but who knew Virginia Tech would blow them out of the water. VT has been breaking out some hideous uniforms and eye sore helmets … Continue reading
Follow @Ryan_Kantor The hurry-up no-huddle (HUNH) offense has taken college football by storm. With Chip Kelly at the helm as the Philadelphia Eagles Head Coach it’s even making an appearance in the NFL. With it’s newfound popularity, comes a new way to slow blazing fast offenses. Unfortunately, that “strategy” is defense players faking injuries. We’ve … Continue reading

Last week I published this article on the college football conferences and argued that no conference outside of the SEC could make a sound claim as being stronger than the ACC. I was promptly lambasted by Nebraska and UCLA fans for not shedding a favorable enough light on their beloved programs. So, here is a completely, 100%, objective graphic … Continue reading
Clemson’s week 1 victory over Georgia was a statement win for the program. As I said in a previous post (linked here), it marked the culmination of Dabo Swinney’s work to transform Clemson from annual pretender to serious contender. In week 2, that win over UGA was validated as UGA defended their home turf to … Continue reading
As I sat on my couch, and for a brief stint in Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, this past weekend enjoying football, I allowed many things to wash over me as I just took in the games. I didn’t bother to focus on the little things that I typically do in a college football game because … Continue reading
Follow @Ryan_Kantor Tajh Boyd started his season season with a victory over Georgia that earned him the Athlon Sports National Player of the Week. The win, coupled with the LSU truimph in the Chick-fil-A Bowl, marked the Tigers’ entrance onto the national stage and the completion of the program’s full transformation–from annual under-achiever to serious … Continue reading
Huge props to the Clemson Tigers who played a great game to knock off the #5 Georgia Bulldogs. Although it has no ACC Title implications, it has broader program implications (perception, recruiting) and possibly even BCS implications. Chad Morris was great. He was able to establish the run while still taking shots and creating havoc … Continue reading
