Clemson Escapes Cal with Win, Now Big Test vs. Miami Looms Large | CFB Week 4

Hey, college football fans -- Clemson got an inconvenient head start on CFB Week 4 but pulled out a 24-10 win in the wee small hours at Cal on Friday. The Tigers' need to prioritize the running game, a stated offseason goal by head coach Dabo Swinney in Chad Morris' first year back as offensive coordinator, was on full display as true freshman QB Tait Reynolds managed just 108 yards passing on erratic accuracy (and lost a fumble that served up a touchdown for Cal). The offensive line suffered a blow with an injury to LG Elyjah Thurmon, but Gavin Blanchard appeared to replace him quite capably. The Tigers defense, meanwhile, used tight coverage in the secondary and decent pressure up front to contain touted Cal QB Jaron Keawe-Sagapolutele, keeping the Bears offense out of the end zone. Clemson still showed some issues giving up chunk plays on the ground, however. We go into the details and take the smallest of glimpses ahead at the Miami game happening Saturday night in Death Valley. #GideonDavidson #TaitReynolds #ClemsonFootball #ACCFootball #DaboSwinney We're glad you found us!
