* DEPTH CHARTS were only designed as a simplistic
gauge for listing players that departed and players that
received the most playing experience (consistent starters).
NationalChamps.net recognizes the importance of missing
personnel data not listed such as redshirts, transfers,
injuries, incoming recruits, back ups, and alternates.
Their coverage will begin with our full 2004 Preseason
Preview due out this coming spring. |

QUICK
ANALYSIS
|
Surprise,
Surprise...what wonders beating Florida State
can do. The Tommy Bowden ship was sinking fast
after a severe whopping at the hands of Wake Forest,
then the light came on and Clemson went on an
offensive rampage. Eight starters return from
that rampage, including one of the most underrated
QBs in Charlie Whitehurst. Before his career ends,
Whitehurst will own almost every Clemson passing
record. The receivers, as usual, contain some
of the best athletes in the football world. Derrick
Hamilton and Airese Currie are sure-fire All-ACC
candidates for 2004. Now, if Tommy Bowden can
find a way to create a consistent defense with
a veteran group made of eight returning starters,
the Tigers just may have something. If the front-seven
on defense can find an edge, even without the
services of longtime starter John Leake at LB,
look out for Clemson to be one of the surprise
teams. A tall order, but for all the criticism
Tommy has taken, none of it can detract from him
being named the ACC Coach of the Year. More to
come...
