3. Secondary figures out the rotation & makes changes

The Tiger secondary has shown glimpses of greatness, but that consistency has not been there through these first eight games.

We’ve seen a ton of bodies rotate into the game because no defensive back- other than Nolan Turner, really- has proven to be the clear-cut option. Even Derion Kendrick– who many pegged as All-ACC type player- has been inconsistent and in trouble with the coaches at times.

Clemson needs to figure out the weaknesses in its secondary this week and begin to solidify the rotation. There needs to be more order back there so that guys can play with confidence.
