Clemson Football: Tigers have to develop depth to play a season

The 2020 Clemson football team is the seeming favorite to compete for a National Title, but there are certainly still questions surrounding the season.

On Friday, it was announced that 28 Clemson athletes had tested positive for COVID-19 since returning to campus and that 21 of those positives were Clemson football players.

While there are no hospitalizations and the vast majority of the positive were asymptomatic, according to Clemson officials, that still presents a unique challenge unlike anything we’ve ever seen before if a season is going to be played.

Now, people can argue about the validity of the claim that a season will be played as cases have risen in certain parts of the country, but the truth of the matter is that everyone involved in the process and decision-making: From coaches, Athletic Directors, the NCAA, local & state governments and even the players are currently preparing for a season and that certainly should hold some weight.
