Here's the bad news for Clemson: After becoming the first college football team since the 1800s to finish 15-0, there's no room for improvement in 2019. The good news, however, is there's not much reason to think things will get any worse, either.
Sure, the Tigers have some big holes to fill on defense -- particularly when it comes to leadership and personality. Christian Wilkins, Kendall Joseph and Clelin Ferrell were the catalysts of Clemson's rise to the top of college football, and beyond their play on the field, their work ethic, leadership and perseverance drove the Tigers.
