CLEMSON — Sometimes things just happen for a reason.

There is no rhyme or reason, things just happen, especially when playing a physically challenging game like football. Injuries happen and those teams that can adjust the quickest are usually the ones that come out on top.

Heading into fall camp, there was concern about fourth-ranked Clemson’s depth in the secondary. Did the Tigers have enough quality depth to survive an injury?

The only true way to answer that question is, and it’s unfortunate, is to have someone get injured.

Such was the case in the first week of camp for Clemson, as starting safety Khalil Barnes suffered an injury that has had him out the last couple of weeks.
