CLEMSON – Raise your hand if you can play the offensive line and have eligibility.
Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney told the media Tuesday that nine offensive linemen missed Monday’s practice, and there might be some names Tiger fans don’t recognize take the field Saturday against The Citadel.
The Tigers entered last weekend’s game at Pitt without starting left tackle Tristan Leigh, starting left guard Marcus Tate, and reserves Collin Sadler, Ian Reed, and Dietrick Pennington are already out for the year. Backup left tackle Elyjah Thurmon was injured on the first play against the Panthers, forcing right tackle Blake Miller to move to left tackle, right guard Walker Parks moved to right tackle, left guard Harris Sewell moved to right guard, and Trent Howard entered the game to play left guard.
