ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Dabo Swinney is talking about Clemson's historical consistency, but are Clemson fans more concerned about the future than the past?
On today's Locked On Clemson, Morgan Thomas discusses Dabo's comments about Clemson potentially reaching 27 consecutive six-win seasons. While Dabo acknowledged that six wins isn't the standard, the reaction from fans raises a bigger question about where expectations stand for Clemson football.
We also examine Clemson's ongoing offensive struggles, the quarterback situation involving Tait Reynolds and Christopher Vizzina, and whether Chad Morris has finally discovered an offensive approach that works after the Florida State victory.
Finally, we look at Clemson's roster construction, its development-first philosophy, and whether Dabo Swinney needs to change how the program approaches the transfer portal and personnel decisions.
Can Clemson finish the season strong, and what needs to change before 2027?
