is looking like it could be one of our best offensive seasons ever. With all of the young talent we have at WR, RB, TE, the OL much improved under Luke, and with Cade coming back. I don't think Cade is declaring (would be shocked is he was), and he will build his draft stock even more. I can see a top 5 offense (even against our toughest opponents) that is efficient, and can score on anybody with consistency. Think about Moore and Wesco in year two, wow.. I think Riley has done a good job overall as the numbers prove, and he'll get even better with this years' experience. I look for us to be very explosive offensively, with a lot of big plays.

Will be significantly impacted by the play calling but an improved running game should help immensely...

Anything less than a playoff win after earning a bye & winning at Williams-Brice next year will be a failure in my eyes.
If we want to get back to elite then we have progress next year. Go back to our climb from 2010-2013. I think that’s a comparable place to where we are now & we finished with a big win over Ohio State in the Orange bowl, we need that next year before Cade leaves.

I agree with pretty much with everything you wrote. Even with Briningstool off to the NFL, we will have excellent TEs -and- a possible ‘Swiss Army Knife’ weapon on offense in the person if Adam Randall. The alignment of high starter player quality, quality depth, extensive playing time experience throughout the entire offense, and G.Riley’s third year to adjust his schemes to maximize the abilities of the offensive players represents a fortuitous convergence of circumstances. Top shelf programs are able to create the circumstances in which fortuitous convergences occur.
Adding to your optimism about anticipated excellence in offense, our FG game has a chance to return to Clemson’s historical standard of superiority. We know that Hauser is an outstanding kicker; he’s now a proven talent as opposed to being just a tremendous prospect. Equally important is that our coaches and FG unit have an entire off season to correct the 2024 season’s Three Stooges FG protection antics.
Pumped up!

So another year under Luke and the O line goes from mediocre to top 5? Walker Parks will be back for a 5th year at RG. He is one of the lowest rated guards in the entire ACC. It's not like flipping a switch and we have a UGA or Texas O line - the players are not the same caliber. Who is the proven running back we have with either size or foot speed? UGA has Nate Frazier running third team and he was the the #1 back in the nation out of HS. And yes, he's been excellent when he gets his touches. Love Cade and our wide receivers but there is nothing dominant about the rest of the offense.

Well said RTD. I agree with fortuitous convergences for our offense, and our FG kicker who has made himself legendary already. I am hoping for attention to be placed on blocking and special teams as well. Additionally, I am really excited to see what Randall makes out of the rest of his collegiate career. I think he's found some new life, and being a clutch team player made everyone appreciate him that much more. 2025 offense has a lot of talking points of optimism.

Best offense ever may be a stretch. However this could be the best offense in the last 4 years if we keep everyone that could come back.

No, not best offense ever.. However, it could be one of our best offensive seasons ever. I would think from the improvement we've seen from 2023 to 2024, the players mentioned, and the trajectory, it looks like the Tiger offense is going to be scoring a lot of points..
