Clemson Tigers Analysis

Looking ahead, the defense will have to take the lead for the Tigers in order to have a chance against this red-hot offense. The Clemson Tigers were a dominant force in the ACC for many years, however, this season has been far from successful. With 15 starters back from last year's 11-3 team and an overall record of 4-4, they are ranked #49 for offense, scoring an average of 28.8 per game, and #39 for defense, giving up an average of 21.0 points per game. Their offensive struggles have been caused by inconsistent play at the QB position. In their last matchup against Notre Dame they will have to rely on their defense, ranked 6th in total defense, 16th against the run, 9th against the pass, in order to have a chance at a victory.
