Swinney says Tigers will be more explosive next season, have plenty of speed

CLEMSON – Explosive plays, or lack thereof, have been an issue for the Clemson offense over the last three seasons, and many people suggest a glaring lack of speed at wide receiver and running back is the root cause. Dabo Swinney, however, thinks the Tigers will take a step forward next season.

Clemson ranked an abysmal 110th nationally in plays of 40-plus yards with just eight. There were just two plays of 50-plus yards and one play of 60-plus yards, with no plays longer than the 69-yard touchdown pass from Cade Klubnik to Beaux Collins against Charleston Southern.
