Clemson's Injury Problems Are Getting Serious Ahead of Syracuse | Clemson Tigers Podcast

Clemson faces major offensive injuries as an improving Syracuse defense prepares to test the Tigers on the road. Clemson football heads to Syracuse facing major injury concerns, and the timing couldn't be much worse for the Tigers. With Harris Sewell and Elyjah Thurmon unavailable on the offensive line, freshman Grant Wise and Gavin Blanchard are stepping into important roles against a Syracuse defense that just recorded six sacks against SMU. Gideon Davidson is also out, leaving Jarvis Green with a bigger responsibility in Clemson's running game. On today's Locked On Clemson, Morgan Thomas breaks down: Why Clemson's offensive line injuries could determine Saturday's game What Grant Wise and Gavin Blanchard must prove How Syracuse has improved under defensive coordinator Vince Kehres Why the Orange's recent victories over North Carolina and SMU matter The importance of Steve Angeli's availability and Umari Hatcher's receiving ability What changed since Syracuse beat Clemson 34-21 last season How Clemson's defensive front can provide a path to victory Clemson is coming off a win over Florida State, but Syracuse presents a different challenge. Can Chad Morris adjust his offense to protect an inexperienced offensive line, or will Syracuse's defensive pressure create problems all afternoon? Injuries matter, but Clemson still has to find a way to execute. Subscribe to Locked On Clemson for daily Clemson Tigers football coverage, analysis, and ACC discussion.
