Clemson depth chart thoughts: One lineman missing, freshman LB moving on up

Game week is finally here, and it’s not a moment too soon. Tuesday, the Tigers released the depth chart for the season opener, and while there weren’t any huge surprises, there are a few takeaways.

Clemson last played a game 245 days ago, a 20-13 victory over Iowa St. in the Cheez-It Bowl in Orlando. Since then we’ve had spring practice and head coach Dabo Swinney’s high school camps, we’ve had media days in Clemson and in Charlotte, and we’ve had all of fall camp.

Now, it’s time to play.

Clemson will kick off the 127th football season in school history in grand fashion on Labor Day as the Tigers travel to the home of the NFL's Atlanta Falcons for a prime-time ACC matchup with the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets on Monday, Sept.
