Record: 11-2, 8-0

Team Leaders: 

Offense: DJ Uiagalelei (Passing), 2521 YDS, 22 TDS

Will Shipley (Rushing), 1110 YDS, 15 TDS

Antonio Williams (Receiving) 53 Rec, 563 YDS, 4 TDS

Defense: Jeremiah Trotter, Jr. (Tackles/Sacks) 80 Total Tackles, 6.5 Sacks

R.J. Mickens (Interceptions) 3

Myles Murphy (sacks) 6.5

Key Wins: North Carolina State 30-20

Bad Losses: South Carolina 31-30

Season Overview: The Clemson Tigers regained the ACC Championship this season. However, they did not make the College Football Playoff, and the offense sometimes struggled. It was quite the mixed bag offensively. One of the issues was that Dabo Swinney promoted internally. Despite the hiccups, they were the best in the ACC.

2023 Outlook: Cade Klubnik played so well in the ACC title game that head coach Dabo Swinney promoted him to QB1 permanently. DJ Uiagalelei has moved on to Hawai’i, so Klubink is the man in Clemson. The defense loses a lot of quality players, and the receiver room needs to improve.
