2. The Offensive Line vs. The Defensive Line

We all know how good the defensive line is going to be.

Clemson boasts four NFL Draft picks on their starting line alone and have plenty of depth to back those guys up, as well.

What I’m interested in seeing is how much this defensive line group can push this offensive line group.

Christian Wilkins, Austin Bryant, Clelin Ferrell, Dexter Lawrence, Albert Huggins, Xavier Thomas, KJ Henry, Chris Register, Xavier Kelly, Nyles Pinckney, Justin Foster and Logan Rudolph– just to name a few– will give the offensive line fits.

Last season, the offensive line was very inconsistent. I expect them to be better and deeper this time around. It certainly won’t hurt that they’re going up against the very best in practice every single day.
