4. Was the bye week beneficial?

Another storyline to keep your eyes on is the benefit of the bye week.

Do we see the Tigers clean up some of those mistakes they were making in Chapel Hill and even earlier on in the season?

Can the offensive line be more fundamentally sound and have better chemistry? Will Trevor Lawrence and his wide receivers be on the same page? Can the Tigers get Travis Etienne going in the running game? Will the defense look explosive and continue to have success running those multiple schemes?

The bye week has always been a beneficial time for the Clemson football coaching staff to refocus and regroup this program and this past week shouldn’t be expected to be any different.
