Paul A. Esden Jr: If you compare this year’s team to last year’s team there are some similarities and some differences. Both of these teams were undefeated and they’re both led by Heisman hopeful Deshaun Watson. But it seems this year the team isn’t as dominant, despite returning much of the same National Championship corps. Why have these Tigers played to their opponent thus far this season? What’s different this season?

"Anthony Messenger (@antmess4) “The difference between this years squad and last years squad is their experience. I believe that Deshuan Watson and company are hungry for a shot at a national title, the only problem is they aren’t hungry for anything else. At the end of the day these kids are human. Clemson would surely show up in the National Championship game should they make it that far.”"
