Hosts: Edward “Tiger Paw” Craven & Jordan Bowman
ClemsonVOCFB | Presented by FanDuel
Intro & Housekeeping (00:03–00:10)
Welcome to the All-In Show. Schedule preview and record prediction is the main event as Clemson exits fall camp and enters game-prep week.
Other topics teed up: recent player arrest/suspension and the wave of NFL players returning to college football.
Quick RIP Dolly Parton note.
Comment shout-outs (ROCPA, John Sarian, Arthur Moss, The Hard Take, LS King, Trent, Air Mike, Carl, KD, etc.).
Personal week check-in: Jordan on Titans preseason (Cam Ward & Carnell Tate struggles) and Man City opener; both hosts excited for Week 0 and Clemson’s LSU opener next weekend.
NFL Players Returning to College Football (00:10–00:32)
Major discussion on the “five-for-five” eligibility rule fallout and 2022 class lawsuits.
Players who signed NFL contracts, went through minicamp/preseason, and were cut are now returning to college rosters via injunctions after the NCAA failed to grandfather the 2022 class.
Notable names tied to LSU: Daquan Wright (TE, most recently with Cleveland) and Zavian Harris (DL). Both previously played under Lane Kiffin at Ole Miss.
Roster-cap reality (105-man limit): adding these players forces cuts of current roster guys who went through spring and fall camp.
Competitive-integrity concerns: pros with NFL training competing against true college athletes; negative impact on high-school recruiting opportunities.
SEC (Greg Sankey) issued a formal statement opposing players who signed professional contracts. ACC reportedly discussing similar rules.
Hosts view this as a potential point of no return if any of these players take the field. Prefer conferences hold the line rather than let courts and friendly judges dictate roster construction.
Consensus: “You made your decision… college football cannot allow this.”
Fourth-year DT Vic Burley (highly recruited 2023 class peer of Peter Woods, T.J. Parker, etc.) arrested early Saturday by Clemson University Police for public disorderly conduct.
Found sleeping in his running vehicle on campus ~2:15 a.m.; vape with certain substance and odor of alcohol noted. Not charged with DUI (he was not driving).
Context: DT room already thin after injuries, departures, and prior losses. Burley had shown flashes in recent scrimmage; this was supposed to be his breakout year.
Hosts: disappointing timing (days before season), but charge itself is relatively minor. Long-term career impact likely limited if he completes required steps to return. Depth remains a real concern.
Schedule Preview & Record Prediction (main segment)
Hosts go game-by-game and land on the same regular-season projection.
Final Prediction (both hosts):9-3
Losses: LSU, Miami, Florida State.
Realistic ceiling: 10-2 or 11-1 (if Chad Morris offense clicks, QB stabilizes, defense improves, and they stay healthy). Talent edge on paper over every team except LSU and Miami.
Key Game Notes & Reasoning (high-level)
LSU (Week 1, neutral?): Toughest early test. New staff/roster under Kiffin; unknowns favor a possible sneak win more than Miami later, but hosts still lean LSU win for the Tigers’ loss column.
Miami: More complete roster questions solved; harder to steal.
Florida State: Third projected loss.
South Carolina (home, rivalry finale): Hosts pick Clemson to finally win at Death Valley again. Sellers must be contained; Gamecocks’ O-line and run game remain question marks. Clemson has dominated on the road in recent years but dropped frustrating home games.
Other ACC games (Cal short-week travel, Duke, Georgia Tech, Syracuse, etc.): Not automatic. Hosts emphasize Clemson no longer gets the benefit of the doubt; several are “very losable.”
Hosts stress predictions are preseason only and will be re-evaluated once games are played. Fans encouraged to drop their own records + specific losses in the comments.
Fifth-year guard Dylan Hunter returning is a net positive. Experience and leadership in a talented guard room (Ace Buckner, Zach Foster recovering from ACL, Harris Reynolds, transfers).
Better supporting scoring cast should let him operate as facilitator/defender rather than primary scorer. Strong system knowledge and “glue” factor for Brad Brownell’s group.
Closing / Fan Engagement
Over/under on FanDuel sits at 7.5 wins — hosts’ 9-3 would cash the over.
