3. How much does Xavier Thomas play?

The coaching staff has been nothing but complimentary of Xavier Thomas.

The young freshman had what can only be considered the hit of the year so far for the Clemson football defense on Saturday when he absolutely crushed Syracuse quarterback Eric Dungey.

Dabo Swinney has been quoted saying that Thomas needs to play more.

This week, we saw Thomas move into full-time second-string behind Austin Bryant. I will be interested to see how much he plays and what he’s able to do against the Wake Forest offensive line.

I also would like to see the three defensive end package again.
