I don't think the Tiger secondary will be as desperate

as many foretell....there's some talent coming back that just didn't get a lot of playing time in the bigger games late in the season....but regardless, by the time early September rolls around and they've all had to go up against the best (and probably deepest) Wide Receiver crew in college football over and over again, there won't be many wide-eyed rookies left

I have full faith in BV to get these cats ready!

playing in one of your biggest games of the season on the road against Auburn is going to be the test of all tests! If BV can get these players ready and we can go in there and dominate Auburn at the line of scrimmage and in the secondary then there will be NO stopping us this season!! #15in16 ALLIN

Dorian O'Daniel. He should be starting by now, yeah? He seems to play well when he's in.

With Dabo and spring practice sometimes hearing less
Feb 13, 2016, 12:04 PM

about a player is a good thing. Sometimes he likes to talk up certain guys during bowl practice and in the spring about how great they are doing but come September those guys are no where to be seen. We heard last spring about how great Trevion and Shadell were but other than a few plays for Thompson neither one of those guys contributed and Bell redshirted. I think some of the more talented and experienced guys sandbag a little during the spring and some of the new guys go hard and shine a little bit. However, once fall starts the real players turn it on and you don't hear anything about some of the others until spring rolls back around.

These are overlooked in my view on its impact on the defensive performance. Having opposing teams start inside their 20, or inside the 10 in Pinions case, has huge implications on the play-calling for the offense and BV. Getting three and outs are significant and as such, having the offenses starting deep in their own territory has major benefits that don't show up in stats necessarily.
BV has proven to be an incredible DC, best we have had since Ford's day without a doubt, so I'm hopeful we will give him even more firepower if we can improve those areas, which have generally been weak in recent years (with Pinions junior year the exception).

When I look

At the roster of players that Dabo has to work with, it looks like a nice problem to have. Spring football will be fun. No one should question the Tigers work ethic and the talent abounds everywhere. Pass coverage by the linebackers has been an issue but I bet Coach V. Will work on that
This time last year everyone was concerned about number 4's health. I don't think there is a fan who can question his toughness after this season. The sky's the limit

And yet, no one is mentioning Korin Wiggins returning. You remember that guy that seamlessly stepped in for Travis Blanks while he recovered from injury only to be injured himself before last season began. Did I miss something? Is he not coming back?

Dabo hit the nail on the head when he said we've recruited well. The talent is there. Let it develop, and then scheme around it. That is why Coach Venables has been so successful at Clemson. We're loaded, ladies and gentlemen. The cream will rise. Bryant and whoever starts opposite him (Yeargin?) have an opportunity to make a name for themselves. Meanwhile, our interior is going to be ridiculous. Boulware will lead the backers and Tankersley will lead the secondary. Let's focus on what we have...not on what we've lost.

And yes, Korrin Wiggins will be back. I can't wait to see that guy play again. He was a monster for us.
