Feels like we're building something great. I am confident Coach will make solid moves to sure up the run game on defense.
We have arguably our hardest schedule in recent memory:
OOC: LSU, at USCjr, Troy, and Furman.
Home: Syracuse, Duke, Florida State, SMU
Away: Boston College, Louisville, North Carolina, Georgia Tech
Virtually all of these programs (aside from LSU, Troy, and possibly Furman) are on the up and up. Teams we might have laughed out a few years ago (GT, Duke, SMU, BC etc.) aren't going to be easy. We should see a decent amount of ranked opponents in 2025.
If I'm Dabo here's what I want to see:
1. Better run defense. This is obvious and I think the edge from Purdue will help but we're thin on the D-line/LB spots... gonna need a lot of development and young guys to step up.
2. CK2 progression. If he continues to improve he will be a legitimate Heisman contender + All-Time Clemson Legend. We are going to need him to have the mentality that he needs to put up at least 40 every game.
3. Run game improvement. We have a stable of backs - I am sure we will have a couple of dudes step up and make good strides. A lot of pressure should be on CJ - after all, he's the foundation that helped build this Dabo era. We're going to really need to be able to trust the o-line and backs to pound it in in the redzone.
I'm confident our secondary + wr's will improve. We have a great kicker... and hopefully we won't need to know the punters name.
Go Tigers!

Agree, but we won't have any issues with kicking. Cutting Nolan some slack. He can't kick and block at the same time. He also progressed through the year to kick it higher from the get.
With Cade, rarely will we need anything more than a fair catch. Our punt coverage was decent. Wish we'd get back to a rugby style kick but I don't think we've heard the last from jack. Hopefully he'll get it together like he can.
I like our chances. Who knows what our opponents will, or won't be. Our schedule looked daunting this year and went south quickly. Get back to playing Clemson against Clemson like last decade.
