   Miami Recap & Clemson Bye Week State of the Union

   Miami 41, Clemson 13. It wasn't pretty, and we're not going to pretend otherwise, but there was still nice things to see. On this episode of Inside the Valley, William and Dustin break down the loss in Miami and take stock of where Clemson stands heading into the bye week. Miami Recap We revisit our pregame keys to see what hit and what didn't. Dustin finished 1 for 3 on offense and 1 for 2 on defense, while William went 1 for 3 on offense and 0 for 3 on defense (the 10 TFL prediction is still coming, we swear). Tait Reynolds connected on three 20+ yard completions, but the run game managed just 1.77 yards per carry Our tight ends were targeted five times for a combined 10 yards Two turnovers, both late in the fourth quarter Miami averaged 5.49 yards per carry, and the defense had only 2 TFLs State of the Union Five games in, we look at where this team ranks nationally and how it compares to the same point last season: Total offense: 121st at 19.4 points per game (down from 23.4 in 2025) Passing offense: 107th, with 17 sacks allowed, 129th nationally Rushing offense: 97th, with 42 TFLs allowed, 136th nationally 3rd down offense: 124th at 31.5% Total defense: 98th at 25.8 points allowed per game (up from 20.2 in 2025) Rush defense: 102nd at 4.73 yards per carry Red zone defense: 114th We also hand out some credit to the guys who are playing well, including Will Heldt (4 sacks and 6.5 TFLs, both team-best), Ashton Hampton (9 PDs, tops in the country), Elliot Washington II (3 INTs), and Bryant Wesco and Gideon Davidson on offense. What's next? We discuss what needs to change during the bye week and what the Tigers have to figure out for the second half of the season.

   Cal Recap & Clemson vs Miami Preview

   Clemson gets past Cal 24-10 on the road, and now the Canes come to Death Valley. Dustin and William break down the win in Berkeley and get into Saturday's 7:30 PM ET showdown with Miami on ABC. Cal Recap - The run game carried the night with 255 rushing yards at 5.2 yards per carry. - The defense held Cal to 86 yards on the ground and forced two interceptions. - We also cover the early turnovers, the pass protection, the vertical passing game that's there but not yet cashed in, and the 4 TFLs (with a lot of meat left on the bone). Miami Preview - Miami is bringing the nation's No. 1 offense and No. 2 defense to Clemson, which is largely why the Tigers are a 17.5-point underdog. We cover Darian Mensah and the Miami passing attack, Malachi Toney and the receiving corps, and the Hurricanes' defensive front. We also go through the matchups we like for Clemson and keys we NEED from the Tigers, including; Tait Reynolds and the deep ball, the tight ends, and early-down defense. Each host gives his keys to the game on offense, defense, and special teams, plus a few closing thoughts on the Death Valley crowd.
