Dabo Swinney Just Put A Clemson Starter On Notice
Clemsons offense has been searching for more consistency, and Dabo Swinney made it clear this week that the conversation starts with accountability. Sophomore running back Gideon Davidson has still led the Tigers in rushing yards and touchdowns, but Swinney pointed to missed assignments and costly decisions as part of what has slowed the unit down, especially in the recent loss to Virginia Tech.
The concerns are bigger than just ball production, too. Davidson has seen his playing time affected after two sacks allowed and a couple of poor reads on key snaps, and with competition building in the backfield, his hold on the starting job is suddenly something to watch.

How Clemson Kept Hevin Brown-Shuler Connected During His Toughest Fight
Hevin Brown-Shulers fight away from the field has become one of the most meaningful storylines around Clemson this fall. The defensive tackle completed his chemotherapy treatment for Hodgkin lymphoma, and the milestone brought together teammates, coaches and fans who had followed his journey closely. Head coach Dabo Swinney, position coach Nick Eason and the rest of the Tigers defensive tackles room were there to help mark the moment.
Brown-Shuler never really disappeared from the program during treatment, staying involved with the team and remaining a visible part of the locker room. That connection, and the support that kept coming from the Clemson community, gave the celebration extra weight. For a player who has been through so much, the finish line of treatment was more than a personal victory - it was a reminder of how tightly this team has rallied around him. [Read more 🡒]
