Clemson football: 5 burning questions for spring practice 2021

2. What changes are made to better both the offensive and defensive systems?

There are some guys who are gone, either due to graduation, the NFL Draft or transfers. But the majority of the team remains intact.

Just returning talent, though, isn’t going to be enough to win a National Championship.

We’re interested in seeing how the offensive and defensive schemes & systems change this offseason. Do the Tigers move towards a more vaunted and high-powered passing attack with D.J. Uiagalelei and the plethora of receivers in his arsenal now that Travis Etienne is gone?

Does Brent Venables change around his defense- he always does- to try and keep up with the new RPO game that is taking offensive systems by storm? Does he find a way to get an extra defensive back on the field and to use his defensive line to create pressure more regularly?

It’s always interesting to see the small shifts and ‘tune ups’ made to both sides of the ball and this offseason absolutely should be no exception.
