Clemson Tigers Trivia on Wiki-Pete-ia

SOME THINK THE CLEMSON TIGERS WILL MAKE IT INTO THE COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFFS. THEY MIGHT. BUT I’M NOT SURE IT WILL BE WITH THEIR CURRENT QB.

Wake Forest v Clemson

I say it every week, I don’t really know how good this team is because they have played nobody special. However, they stay in my top 4 because they win big and cover as they did against Wake Forest last week. They have the week off before heading to South Carolina on the 30th… They could fall out of my top 4 next week if some other teams are victorious.

The Clemson Tigers are on my mind following their nationally televised win over Georgia Tech.  So I thought we'd do Clemson Tigers Trivia for Wiki-Pete-ia.

In case you are not fortunate enough to be lucky caller number nine at 239-337-ESPN, then you are in luck!  Play at home and dazzle your family!  Stump your co-workers with useless knowledge!  Amaze your friends with your newfound intelligence!  Below are the actual questions AND ANSWERS heard during Wiki-Pete-ia on our show.

It's so awesome that College football is in full swing after a long wait.  And after a long, five day college football weekend that was capped off by the Tigers' win against Georgia Tech, it's time to take a closer look at Clemson.  The big question is:  are they good enough to win a national championship?  Their defense certainly looks solid but I'm not sure Georgia Tech should have been able to hang with them like they did.  It was Georgia Tech, not Georgia after all.  In fact, if it were not for two blocked punts this game would have been a lot closer deep into the second half.  I also think D.J. Uiagalelei might be an average quarterback.  Look out for freshman Cade Klubnik to take this job before the season's end.

It's time for Wiki-Pete-ia!   Good luck to you!
