CLEMSON — Last year, Clemson allowed 4.7 rushing yards per carry, the worst mark for a Clemson run defense since the 1975 Tigers gave up 5.3 yards per carry.

Clemson is set to host the annual Orange and White scrimmage on Saturday. The rosters won’t be split like they have been in years past.

Greg McElroy liked Clemson last season, and he is even higher on the Tigers heading into the 2025 campaign.
