Despite losing 10 starters from last year’s national runner-up team, one coach feels Clemson is still miles ahead of anyone in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
“If you’re looking for a question mark, that’s maybe one, but they’re not going to drop that far off,” an anonymous coach told Athlon Magazine in its preseason publication.
The opposing coach feels that way because its not who the Tigers lost as much as who they return. It all starts at quarterback, where Clemson returns Trevor Lawrence. The junior is 25-1 as a starter and has led the Tigers to one national championship and two appearances in the national championship game.
