What has happened to the middle of the field for the Clemson offense?
The Clemson offense has been good this season, ranking 21st nationally in total offense. One complaint seen on social media has been the lack – or the perceived lack – of using the middle of the field. Too many screen passes, not enough deep shots for a team that has a smorgasbord of deep threats and one of the best quarterbacks in college football.
Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney was asked about that on his Monday conference call, and he said the UNC defense took away the middle of the field in the Tigers’ 21-20 victory Saturday.
