2. Tua’s health

Tua Tagovailoa is the best quarterback that Clemson football will have faced all season.

Right now, though, he’s not healthy.

Tagovailoa wasn’t pressured or hit that often against Oklahoma. He was basically able to sit in the pocket and throw passes.

That won’t be the case against Clemson.

It will be interesting to see how he responds and to see how healthy that ankle really is.
