When people talked of the Clemson defense coming into this season, that discussion largely included names like Bryan Bresee, Myles Murphy, James Skalski and Andrew Booth. They talked of NFL Draft picks on the defensive front and how much they compare to the 2018 Power Rangers that helped Clemson win the 2018 National Championship.
One player they often forgot to mention was Baylon Spector. With Skalski missing the second half of the game last weekend against North Carolina State, Spector became the quarterback of the defense and had himself one heck of a game.
