There is a sentiment among many Clemson football fans that should starting quarterback DJ Uiagalelei get hurt, that the Tigers will be done and hopes of a national title will be flushed.
While injuries are something to consider in football, Clemson football fans need to stop thinking about the worst possible scenario that could play out in 2021. Instead, reflect on 2017 and what the Tigers were able to offer with a similar quarterback room.
After Deshaun Watson left for the NFL following the 2016 national title, there were many who believed that Clemson football would return to the not so glorious days of those under Tommy West and Tommy Bowden.
