Clemson Football 2013

PAW POWER 2013

     The Clemson Tigers ended the college football season 11-2 by knocking off the #8 LSU Tigers in the Chick-Fil-a bowl. After, finishing #11 in the BCS poll how will the Tigers respond in 2013? 

The first big win for the Tigers in 2013 is the return of Senior Quarterback Tahj Boyd. Boyd will have to work without his primary target Deandre Hopkins who elected to go pro.

Their 2013 out of conference schedule looks tough. They will open the season with the Georgia Bulldogs, followed by South Carolina State, South Carolina, and The Citadel.

On the recruiting end of things look bright for the Orange and Purple.  Currently 15 players have committed to Clemson. Two standouts are Inside Linebacker Ben Boulware and Running Back Tyshon Dye.

Ben Boulware

To get opinions I had to look no further than my own family. My mother a die-hard Clemson fan said “With Boyd and Watkins this might just be Clemson’s year.” While my father a Gamecock fan seemed to echo these sentiments saying “ They will win the ACC this year and that offense is tough.” Now, we can only wait and see what 2013 hold for the tigers of Clemson.
