Every time I read what the national media has to say about Clemson’s chances for the 2015 season, the same two bullet points are brought to light – can quarterback Deshaun Watson stay healthy and can the defense play well enough to offset the losses of some valuable pieces.
I agree with that, but only half has me worried.
Following a practice towards the end of spring, head coach Dabo Swinney and I were talking and I mentioned that despite the losses on defense and so many young players dotting the roster, I couldn’t remember a time when so much raw talent was on display on Clemson’s campus.
