CLEMSON – The middle of the field is wide open.
That statement is good news for Clemson fans who have watched the Tiger offense throw repeatedly to the sidelines in recent seasons, a one-dimensional aspect that left fans muttering to themselves drive after drive after drive.

Tight end Jake Briningstool, who has grown since last season and now stands at 6-foot-7 and 233 pounds (he wants to be at 240 by the start of the season), loves the way Riley’s offense finds the best matchup against the defense.
