The Clemson Tigers face a tough road ahead for the 2024 college football season, beginning with a challenging opener against Georgia. Currently ranked No. 14, they are on the fringe of the top 12 teams.
Odds suggest Clemson is a long shot for the title, with predictions placing them between 15th and 20th. They have several chances to climb the rankings as they will play against multiple ranked teams throughout the season, with four opponents in the preseason poll and four more receiving votes.
The fact that all receivers emerged healthy from fall camp is promising.
As the Tigers shift focus to their season opener against Georgia on August 31, quarterback Cade Klubnik has noted a strong sense of unity among the receivers. “I think they are one group. I think that is how they see each other,” Klubnik remarked.
Klubnik is optimistic about the passing game’s potential under offensive coordinator Garrett Riley in his second year, attributing much of this optimism to the cohesion and teamwork within the offense. “Coach Grish has done a great job bringing them all together,” Klubnik said. “Antonio and Adam, they lead that group in a special way.” He added that this collective selflessness is crucial for offensive efficiency and success.
