Week 1 College Football Showdowns: Which Underdogs Could Shock the Nation?
The team’s most-targeted pass catcher was tight end Jake Briningstool, who was sure-handed (just two drops on 75 targets) but not explosive or great at getting separation (a very low 64% open rate on his targets and an even lower 45.3% burn rate).
Briningstool is back, as is No. 1 receiver Tyler Brown. But Clemson’s only wideout who was good at roasting defensive backs, Beaux Collins, was inconsistent and transferred to Notre Dame. The Tigers will rely heavily on two depth wideouts, Adam Randall and Antonio Williams, to play well in bigger roles. Neither got more than 3.0 targets per game last year. How will they do in the spotlight against a UGA secondary that’s sure to be one of the sport’s best?
