1. Tiger offensive line

Our last spot goes to the entire Clemson football offensive line.

If the Tigers want to win this game, they’re going to need a better effort in the trenches. They need better snaps from Cade Stewart. They need to get a better push on running plays and give Uiagalelei time to throw the ball on passing downs.

This game will be won and lost up-front, and there’s really no other way around it.

That Tiger offensive line has its hands full and it will be interesting to see what they’re able to do Saturday against the Fighting Irish.
