1. The Entire Offensive Line

This may be a “cheap way” to close out this list, but it needs to be said.

The offensive line’s success directly correlates to the offense’s success as a unit.

The offensive line has gotten better as of late. They still have made some mistakes, but I’ve seen positive signs. Those signs need to continue, though, if the Tigers want a shot at National Championship.

The offensive line has to gain some continuity and chemistry here over the next six games. If they can do that, you’re going to see a really high-powered Clemson offense the rest of the way.

Next. Trevor Lawrence's midseason stats are unreal. dark

If they can’t, you could see an offense that will struggle to score.

It all starts up front and that will be the key to the Tigers’ success the rest of the way.
