Episode Details

Clemson football has thrown just TWO passing touchdowns through six games, and now the criticism is shifting toward the wide receivers. But are Bryant Wesco Jr. and T.J. Moore really the problem, or has Clemson's quarterback situation made it nearly impossible for this offense to succeed?

On today's Locked On Clemson, Morgan Thomas breaks down the growing debate among Clemson fans over who's responsible for the Tigers' struggling passing attack.

Clemson's top three receivers have combined for 79 receptions, 780 yards, and just one touchdown. Those numbers are disappointing considering the talent and investment in the position. But the bigger question is why Dabo Swinney and his coaching staff entered the season expecting Christopher Vizzina to lead the offense, only to find themselves relying on true freshman Tait Reynolds just two games into the year.

We examine Clemson's quarterback evaluation, offensive line struggles, Chad Morris' offensive system, and whether the coaching staff has put its best players in a position to succeed.

Then we turn our attention to Virginia Tech. The Hokies bring a productive passing offense and a defensive front capable of pressuring Clemson's offensive line. Can the Tigers finally create explosive passing plays, or will they once again need their defense, running game, and special teams to carry them?
