Clemson Football: Game-by-game predictions for 2022
By Dante Pryor
The Cardinals have one of the essential characteristics you need to pull an upset against a team the caliber of the Tigers. Louisville has a transcendent quarterback in Malik Cunningham. Last season, Cunningham had 308 yards and two touchdowns in a six-point loss.
If this game were at home for the Cardinals, we might have an upset. However, it will be hard for Louisville to pull an upset in Death Valley East. Clemson by a hair.
Prediction: Clemson 24, Louisville 23 (10-0, 8-0)
This is Clemson’s most challenging game of the season. The Hurricanes have a lot that needs to go right for them to be successful, but the Hurricanes should be tough defensively, and quarterback Tyler Van Dyke should take another step in his development. that said, they are putting everything they have into another transfer wide receiver.
It is hard to predict an upset at home for the Tigers but here goes nothing. Van Dyke has the game of his life and Miami finds a way to keep it together for the win.
Prediction: Clemson 17, Miami 24 (10-1, 8-1)
Much like the Seminoles, South Carolina should be much improved from last season. They got Spencer Rattler in the portal and are going to be better. However, it is hard to throw when you are looking at the lights. It is difficult to find a win here for South Carolina.
Prediction: Clemson 44, South Carolina 21 (11-1)
