CLEMSON—Clemson’s offensive line struggled a lot last season, highlighted by allowing junior quarterback Cade Klubnik to get sacked 29 times. The hiring of Matt Luke back in December brought a change at the offensive line coach position, however, and veteran offensive lineman Marcus Tate had a positive first impression of Luke and the energy he brings to the offensive line group.
“My initial impression of him was, ‘Wow.’ It was different, and for me, I love different. I love change and just having a different energy come into the room. He demands excellence out of us, and that was his message,” Tate said.
