ESPN Commentator Owns Bold Take on Clemson for ’25

Kevin Clark, who hosts This Is Football on ESPN, was joined by “Stanford Steve” Coughlin to give some takes that they want to own this football season.

So, what is the No. 1 college football take that Coughlin wants to own for the 2025 campaign?

That take is – Coughlin believes Clemson will be on track for an undefeated season if Dabo Swinney’s team beats LSU in the Aug. 30 season opener (7:30 p.m., ABC).

“If Clemson wins Week 1, they’re going undefeated,” Coughlin said.

Explaining that take, Coughlin cited the return of star quarterback Cade Klubnik and the wealth of weapons he has at wide receiver – similar to the type of talent Clemson had at quarterback and receiver in past glory years.
