3. Defensive Dominance

Can Clemson continue its defensive dominance?

What the Tigers have done through the first seven games of this season has been nothing short of spectacular.

From the productivity of Isaiah Simmons and the linebacker core, to the explosiveness of the defensive line, to the reliability of the secondary, the Tiger defense has been a major surprise.

While most Clemson football fans didn’t expect the defense to take a major dip, everyone thought they would not be as good as last year’s unit. So far, one could argue that this group has been just as effective, if not more effective, even though it’s being done in a different way.

Can that continue Saturday night against Boston College?
