5. The WRs and their replacements

This question probably won’t be asked a lot by Clemson football media, but outside media will certainly want to ask Swinney about the losses of Deon Cain and Ray-Ray McCloud.

By now, everyone is beginning to learn the name “Tee Higgins,” which is how I expect Swinney to answer the question. If you really look at the wide receivers as a whole, I think this group is better than last year’s.

There’s definitely more potential.

But, anytime you lose two of your top playmakers off an offense, media are going to ask about replacements.
