Granted, Clemson lost some talented pieces and leadership from a team went 14-1 and lost in the national championship game of the College Football Playoff. However, that isn’t discouraging Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney about the prospects of the 2020 season.
“The good news is this is one of the youngest teams I’ve ever had,” he said. “We’ve got 80 freshmen and sophomores out of our 120. I think we’ve got a chance to be a better team next year. I really do.”
On offense, the Tigers lost four starters on the offensive line—left guard John Simpson, center Sean Pollard, right guard Gage Cervenka and right tackle Tremayne Anchrum—as well as junior wide receiver Tee Higgins.
