Syracuse Football: Behind Enemy Lines with Rubbing The Rock
Paul A. Esden Jr. (@BoyGreen25):
Give us the big guys to watch out for on offense and defense. Also give us an under the radar guy or two that could have an effect on the game that no one is talking about?
Anthony Messenger (@AMessengerRTR):
On the offensive side of the ball you have to keep an eye on Hunter Renfrow. He’s the most reliable wide out on Clemson’s roster, with sure hands and deceptive speed. When the Tigers’ need a big play, Renfrow is always there to answer the call. On the defensive side of the ball, look out for Austin Bryant. The junior defensive end has been wreaking havoc on the rest of the ACC through this point in the season. His length and athleticism make him difficult to block, but, it’s his intelligence that sets him apart. Bryant never appears surprised by anything the opponent throws at him, which is a testament to his preparation. An underrated player to watch is Isaiah Simmons. At 6-foot-3, 225 pounds with 4.4 speed, Simmons is a terror at safety.
