I understand Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney wanting to start Cole Stoudt on Senior Day. I understand him asking the fans not to boo the senior, who will be making his seventh start of the year on Saturday, but I also know he needs to play Nick Schuessler early and often.

Why? Schuessler needs the experience and he needs the experience when the game in on the line.

There isn’t a question whether the Tigers will win Saturday’s game against Georgia State in Death Valley; it’s more of a question of by how much? Clemson is a 41-point favorite by Vegas right now and that could go up.
