5. Suspensions

Let’s start with the most obvious one.

The big news so far surrounding Clemson football is the suspensions of starting DT Dexter Lawrence, OL Zach Giella and TE Braden Galloway for failing a drug test with a trace of the substance ostarine in their system.

At the time of this writing, nothing has been made official on the appeals of the three players.

It will be interesting to see how this affects the team, whether the suspensions are upheld or taken away.
