OFFICIAL GAME THREAD: CLEMSON vs. Duke

CUTrevor 2025-10-31 13:28:23


Happy All Saints' Day! It was 17 years ago that I was up at Boston College watching Dabo win his very first game as a head coach. Let's hope there is some of that magic in the air today!

The Tigers will have just about all hands on deck today. Cade will be back, as well as Tristan Leigh. Obviously, Bryant Wesco is out for the season, however.

Beautiful weather for our game, without a cloud in the sky.

Hall of Famer Brian Dawkins is one of the honorary captains here at Homecoming, along with Adam Humphries, Coty Sensagaugh and Andy Teasdall. Sensabaugh was on Dabo's first team as head coach. I remember watching punter Andy Teasdall on a fake punt, throwing to Christian Wilkins against Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl like it was yesterday!
