Entering last week's opener, a popular assumption was that Clemson's starting defensive line was going to have to be ready to play a lot of snaps.

The assumption was based on the idea that the Tigers' front doesn't have much experience behind the starters (and even the starters don't have a wealth of it).

So it was a bit of a surprise, at least to us, to see so much rotating by Nick Eason and Chris Rumph.

Here's what we see from this unit going forward.
