Clemson returns quarterback Deshaun Watson and seven other starters on offense, raising expectations even higher for a group that averaged more than 500 yards per game and came a few plays away from winning a national championship.
When spring practice opens Monday, the Tigers will start working on all the ways they can get better. Chief among the goals: cutting down on the turnovers and developing depth at just about every position on the field.
Quarterbacks are typically noncontact, so that is not going to change. But what will be different having Watson around for what the coaching staff hopes is his first complete spring since he arrived as an early enrollee in 2014.
