1. Clemson is 2-0 as expected, have they faced any issues this season vs Georgia Tech or Texas A&M?

"The major issues for Clemson have related more to just getting the rust off more than anything. The offense had some trouble getting the passing game going against Georgia Tech and the defense has missed some tackles- especially in the open field- in both games. Coming into the season, there were a lot of questions about how the defense would perform with all that it lost to the NFL. So far, so good. The unit gave up just 14 points to Georgia Tech- while switching in a lot of bodies- and they gave up just 10 points to Texas A&M. The Aggies hit a field goal at the beginning of the second quarter and then didn’t score again until 10 seconds left in the game, which was basically just Jimbo Fisher making sure that his team covered the spread. That being said, the issues have been minimal, but it’s clear that this team has a long way to go. The offense has left a lot of points on the field, but they’ll get better as the season progresses."
