Clemson football schedule: Offseason

Clemson’s season is over after Dabo Swinney’s team lost to the Tennessee Volunteers in the Capital One Orange Bowl. The Tigers went 11-3 in 2022. Stay tuned for next season’s schedule plus game-by-game predictions in 2023.

Clemson football roster outlook

All our predictions are based on the Tigers starting these key players:

While several of Clemson’s players have graduated to the pros, head coach Dabo Swinney remains. After a 10-3 season in 2021, Clemson’s quarterback DJ Uiagalelei returns for his junior year, and he’ll have Will Shipley with him in the backfield. Justyn Ross has moved onto the NFL, but Joseph Ngata and Beaux Collins return for what should be big seasons.

The real story here is the defense. After allowing the second-fewest points in the nation a year ago, linebacker Trenton Simpson leads a star-studded cast into 2022. With Bryan Breese, Tyler Davis, and Myles Murphy forming the defensive line, the Tigers should have no trouble winning the battle of the trenches.

Clemson Tigers 2023 schedule

Stay tuned to find out which opponents will be on Clemson’s 2023 football schedule. Once announced, we’ll also make game-by-game predictions for each outcome.

Clemson schedule prediction: 11-1

It’s difficult to find a game on the schedule that delivers a true problem for Dabo’s crew. There are several that could make life difficult for a few quarters, but Clemson just has so much defensive talent that likely gives them the eventual edge. The receivers will have to prove themselves, but a healthier rushing attack and the expected growth of Uiagalelei should carry this team all the way.
