Episode Details

Clemson football is 4-2 after shutting out Charleston Southern 37-0, but the Tigers have a serious offensive problem. Through six games, Clemson ranks 138th nationally in passing touchdowns with just TWO and 107th in passing plays of 20 yards or more.
On today's Locked On Clemson, Morgan Thomas explains why the passing offense is becoming a major concern for Dabo Swinney, Chad Morris, and the Tigers heading into the second half of the season.
Dabo called Saturday Tait Reynolds' best game, but is the Clemson quarterback actually developing into the player this offense needs? The Tigers continue to struggle with pass protection, explosive plays, and finishing drives. At what point does the entire offensive system deserve more criticism?
We'll also discuss whether Clemson actually improved against Charleston Southern. The defense held the Buccaneers to just 76 total yards, Caden Story continued to emerge along the defensive line, and Nolan Hauser helped special teams deliver another outstanding performance. But how much does that tell us about Clemson's chances against ACC competition?
Finally, can Clemson realistically win out against Virginia Tech, Florida State, Syracuse, Georgia Tech, and Duke? The defense and special teams provide reasons for optimism, but the offense has yet to prove it can consistently produce enough touchdowns.
Topics covered:

• Clemson ranks dead last nationally in passing touchdowns
• Tait Reynolds and the future of Clemson's quarterback position
• Chad Morris and the struggling passing offense
• Clemson's 37-0 win over Charleston Southern
• Defensive improvement under Tom Allen
• Why special teams can't carry the entire team
• Clemson's chances of winning out in ACC play
