5. Specialist Consistency

The first burning question has to do with the consistency of the Clemson football specialists.

The Tigers will be replacing Greg Huegel at place-kicker with a promising young star in BT Potter. Potter has one of the strongest legs we’ve ever seen in the Clemson football program, but he has to work on accuracy and consistency.

Potter has seemingly improved over the course of the summer and into fall camp, but the answer to whether he can handle “Game Day” pressure will only be revealed once games begin to be played.

In addition to Potter, Clemson needs punter Will Spiers to become more consistent.

Spiers had one of the best games of his career in the National Championship game and hopefully he can build off of that and get away from making mistakes in the punting game. He has had steady competition from freshman Aidan Swanson that should ultimately push him to improve.
