This time, Clemson turns to elite depth to challenge Alabama
NEW ORLEANS -- When Clemson’s coaching staff gathers on Sundays after games, Dabo Swinney always scans the participation chart.
Unlike some head coaches, Swinney doesn’t question why the top running back didn’t log more carries or the No. 1 wide receiver wasn’t targeted more in the passing game. His eyes immediately go to the bottom of the depth chart.
“He’s always challenging us as coaches to play more players,” said co-offensive coordinator Jeff Scott, who also coaches Clemson’s wide receivers. “He wants to play everybody that deserves the opportunity.”
