Clemson offensive tacle Jackson Carman(79) warms up before the game with The Citadel Saturday, Sept. 19, 2020 at Memorial Stadium in Clemson, S.C. Clemson The Citadel Ncaa Football
It has become painfully clear that Clemson football has to change its philosophy upfront.
We can keep ignoring the elephant in the room, but the Clemson football offensive line is by far the biggest weakness on this roster. There is no sugar coating it, they are average at best and even head coach Dabo Swinney knows this.
Currently, the Tigers employ a zone-blocking scheme. This is the simplest form of a blocking scheme for an offensive line and one you use when you aren’t recruiting guys like Clemson is at the moment.
