4) How dominant is the defense?

Could the Clemson defense force a shutout in Game One?

Most likely, the Tigers won’t be able to hold Furman scoreless because of the mass substitutions we will be seeing throughout the game. But, it’s still a storyline to watch.

Just how dominant can the defense be in this game?

What will the defensive line look like? How will the secondary perform? These guys have been there and done that. I’m interested to see how the younger guys are brought along. There’s a lot to talk about on the defensive side of the ball for sure.
