NEW ORLEANS, LA – JANUARY 01: Kelly Bryant /

1. The QB Competition

Here’s the big one.

This question will be asked hundreds of different ways, not just this week, but probably all season.

People will ask about his confidence in Kelly Bryant; the talent of Trevor Lawrence; how much playing time they will get; the leadership of Bryant; the possibility of a dual-QB system; what he is seeing. The list goes on and on.

I would imagine that—just this week—Swinney answers this question close to a hundred times.

Between press conferences, exclusive interviews and much more, he’ll talk about this for hours. It won’t end there either. When fall camp begins, the same questions will be asked.

Every single week during the regular season, especially if Kelly Bryant struggles, he’ll be asked about it. If Clemson ever makes the decision to start Trevor Lawrence, you’ll get plenty of questions about that decision and what it means for Bryant.

Next: Could K'Von Wallace Earn All-ACC Honors?

It’s the biggest question for 2018. Everyone wants to know about it and we will probably get about the same answer every single time.

But it will still be asked.
