How long before Clemson becomes the evil empire?

I don’t see it happening. They don’t recruit at the Bama or OSU level. That DL is probably gone. You thought most of them would leave last year, pretty cool they skip the NFK to come back and win a title.
You say that. But Clemson recruits right around #5 or #6, and they keep recruiting better every year. Yeah, the defensive line will be gone next year, but they're being replaced by some fantastic young players, including Xavier Thomas, who was a superstar this year as a freshman. I imagine they'll be returning the bulk of their secondary and adding 5 star Andrew Booth, the top CB this year in recruiting. The defense might take a step back. That said, basically, the entire offense is returning, with Trevor Lawrence, Etienne, Feaster, Lyn-J Dixon, Lawrence's three favorite receivers, his fifth favorite receiver, are adding a 5 star receiver, and are returning the majority of the offensive line (and Mitch Hyatt is being replaced by Jackson Carmon, who was the #1 tackle in the country last year). I suspect the offense will be just as good next year. So, if the defense takes a step back from the #1 defense to #10 or so, and let's say allows 7 more points a game, we'll still have won all of our games under Lawrence by two touchdowns.
TLDR: Don't you worry your little longhorn head. I think Clemson will be just fine.
Clemson aint going anywhere unless Dabo comes to Bama. Which before last night I was 90% sure he would say yes to Bama now its like 50/50.I don’t see it happening.
