4. The offensive line has left much to be desired

The offensive line has just struggled too much this season.

Teams are pounding the ‘A’ gap against the unit as a way to slow down Clemson’s inside zone read game and it has worked for the most part.

Even with the nation’s most prolific play-maker in Travis Etienne, this offensive line has struggled to get a push. There have also been far too many times where Trevor Lawrence is taking an unnecessary shot because of the group not picking up a blitzer or just flat out being beaten by their man.
