Finding 'the best five' an accelerated priority for Clemson's offensive line

Ask anyone involved in the sport where football games are won and lost, and the conversation typically starts with the trenches.

Considering the caliber of opponent Clemson will open the season against next month, that will be particularly true for the 2021 version of the Tigers out of the gate. With Clemson’s highly anticipated opener against Georgia just a month away, neither players nor coaches are oblivious to that reality.

It puts finding the right starting combination along the offensive line at a premium during fall camp, which begins Friday.

“I think fall camp is going to be big in trying to get people in the right place, find out who the best five are and what we need to do to move them around,” offensive line coach Robbie Caldwell said.
