Syracuse Football: Clemson breakdown (Behind Enemy Lines)

Take us through the season so far for the Clemson Tigers, has everything gone as expected?

"As far as “living up to the hype,” the Tigers have had some shining moments and some disappointments. Coming off of Georgia Tech, though, everybody is feeling much better after seeing the offense play as good as it has in quite some time. A lot of people forget this, but Clemson typically starts slow. The Tigers don’t run the score up on teams like Furman or Georgia Southern. Instead, you see Dabo Swinney playing third-string guys midway through the first quarter and getting everyone in the game for experience. They use that experience later on when games really do get close and you need a young guy to come through. So far, everything’s good. There are a few concerns- the offensive line and secondary- going forward, but nothing major. The Tigers struggled with putting away Texas A&M on the road early in the season, but have seemingly improved and learned from that experience."
