Three options to play ’emergency QB’ in 2020 for Clemson football

The 2020 Clemson football team enters the season with many questions and most of them have to do with ‘off-the-field’ uncertainties rather than on-the-field observations.

As far as the Tigers’ on-the-field talent is concerned, Clemson is considered one of the favorites to compete for the National Championship.
