Friedlander: Are Clemson's Freshmen Being Thrown to the Dawgs in Opener?
Clemson's Coaching Staff Faces Daunting Task
As Clemson prepares for the 2021 football season, the coaching staff faces a daunting task. The Tigers lost a significant amount of talent from last year's team, including Trevor Lawrence, Travis Etienne, and Justyn Ross. As a result, the Tigers will be relying heavily on young players, including several true freshmen.
Freshmen Expected to Play Key Roles
According to coach Dabo Swinney, several true freshmen are expected to play key roles for the Tigers this season. Those players include quarterback Cade Klubnik, running back Will Shipley, and wide receiver Beaux Collins.
Concerns About Freshmen's Readiness
However, there are some concerns about the freshmen's readiness for the college game. After all, they are facing one of the toughest opponents possible in their first game. The Georgia Bulldogs are the defending national champions and are ranked No. 1 in the preseason polls.
Friedlander's Opinion
In a recent article, The Clemson Insider's Will Friedlander expressed his concerns about the freshmen being thrown into the fire against Georgia. Friedlander wrote, "I'm a little bit worried about Clemson's freshmen. They're going to be facing one of the best defenses in the country in their first game. It's going to be a tough test for them."
Conclusion
Only time will tell how the freshmen will perform in their first game. However, there is no doubt that they will be facing a tough challenge. The Bulldogs are a veteran team with a lot of talent. The Tigers will need to play their best game in order to pull off the upset.
