Looking ahead

[Edisto_Tiger]

I know we still have an Orange Bowl to play, but looking ahead to next season, there are some serious concerns on the OL and DL. Through the 2011 season thus far, Seniors have had the majority of playing time on both sides of the ball with very little time given to the freshmen and sophomores. If you guys don't visit "Shakin' The Southland" I would highly recommend it. It's a good site without all the sunshine pumping you find at other Clemson sites. Here's a couple links to articles concerning the topic at hand:

Damn, Deandre Hopkins got into a wreck and suffered a concussion on the way to the stadium to meet the team. They were going from there to the airport to Miami.

I am worried about the OL for next season. 2012 has the potential to be another 2008-type disaster where we have an abundance of skill players but absolutely nothing resembling an offensive line. Given the question marks for the line this year though, I do have some confidence that Morris and his staff can get production out of the guys we have, but some of them are gonna have to grow up damn fast.
