1. Can the Tigers stay healthy?

The No. 1 question for Clemson football in 2019 is to see if the Tigers can remain healthy.

So far, it doesn’t seem they’ve been able to do a superb job of that. Though there are no serious injuries- other than Amari Rodgers rehabbing a torn ACL- there have been plenty of guys getting banged up and missing practice time.

Both Nyles Pinckney and Jordan Williams missed the entirety of spring practice with injuries. Justin Foster, Justin Mascoll, Logan Rudolph, Derion Kendrick, Frank Ladson, Davis Allen and several others have been banged up or have missed significant practice time in fall camp.

The key for Clemson will be remaining healthy and staying focused. Hopefully we will see the Tigers get through the season unscathed because if they remain healthy, the sky is the limit for what they can achieve in 2019.
