The Clemson Tigers are ranked No. 12 nationally, but still have some issues that need to be fixed in the 2025-26 season, according to Nick Saban.
On Friday, Saban detailed what he believes are some problems that affect the Tigers.
“In my opinion the major issue that Clemson has had is their offensive line hasn’t performed very well,” said Saban during the Pat McAfee Show. “They need to fix that because Cade Klubnik has been under a lot of pressure.”
The Tigers are led by senior quarterback Cade Klubnik, who guided the Tigers to the inaugural 12-team college football playoffs in the 2024 season. The Tigers have been predicted to return to the playoffs by many analysts, but one thing could put a strain on them this season and continue to be a long-term problem, according to Saban the Tigers’ offensive line has not performed well.
“Their offensive line has not performed very well. The quarterback has been under duress the whole season, in the LSU game this guy [Klubnik] was running for his life and it affected him,” Saban added.
The Tigers and Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets are set to play on Saturday at 12 p.m. ET.
