5. Pressure Tommy DeVito

Tommy DeVito is not Eric Dungey. DeVito certainly has some ability passing the ball, but he’s not quite as big and isn’t as versatile in the running game as Dungey was the past couple of seasons.

That being said, it’s going to be Clemson’s job to get after him.

DeVito is a guy that will throw an accurate pass when he’s given time to read the defense. However, when under pressure, the Tigers will have an advantage and an opportunity to force him into mistakes.

DeVito isn’t the same confident QB that the Tigers have faced against Eric Dungey the last two seasons, but he still has talent to get the job done if Clemson doesn’t get after him.
