Clemson Football: 10 Reasons the Tigers Go Undefeated in 2018
4. Veteran Leadership
This team is not like last year’s team.
Last year’s team was young and the upperclassmen were more focused on their NFL careers rather than winning a National Championship.
At times, it seemed that they were just going through the motions, especially offensively.
With that being said, I think the veterans this year have a different attitude.
Christian Wilkins, Austin Bryant, and Clelin Ferrell didn’t return just to improve their NFL Draft stock. They want a National Championship.
That means that they are going to be focused and ready to go. They will lead and teach the younger guys.
Also, having veteran leadership helps when a game comes down to the wire or if you’re in a hostile environment. Those guys have been there and can take control and make plays when you need them to.
