Clemson’s offensive line struggled during parts of last Friday’s Gator Bowl win over Kentucky but showed resilience late in helping push the Tigers to a 38-35 victory, and head coach Dabo Swinney thinks that line has a chance to improve this offseason.
The Tigers allowed a season-high eight sacks against the Wildcats but were without two of the starters who were expected to be stalwarts at the start of the season. Right guard Walker Parks was hurt early in the season, and left guard Marcus Tate was hurt late in the year, and that led to a revolving door at those spots (and left tackle) while the coaches tried to figure out the best combination.
