10. Improved Quarterback Play

If Clemson football wins a National Championship in 2018, the quarterback play will have to improve from a year ago.

Kelly Bryant played well at times, but was very inconsistent all season. In the semifinal game against Alabama, he wasn’t helped by his teammates, but he certainly had his fair share of mistakes as well. For Clemson to win the Natty, they will need Bryant or maybe even Trevor Lawrence to play at a higher level.

In order to beat Alabama, we’ve learned that a team has to have solid quarterback play. That’s what it took for Clemson to beat the Tide two years ago.
