"18-wheeler" package with Bryant?

One of the more intriguing wrinkles in college football I saw last year was the way Texas was splitting their reps with their QB's. They had a true freshman gunslinger in Shane Buechele, and then they had a 6'4", 230+ pound athlete in Tyrone Swoopes, who also happened to wear jersey number 18....they tended to just let the freshman sling it between the 20's, and in the Red Zone they'd bring in Swoopes and a bunch of tight ends, their so-called "18-Wheeler" package.
It was very tough to stop. Texas's offense wasn't the problem last year.
It would certainly appear Clemson has the personnel to do much the same. We've got some big bodies at TE like Milan Richard, Cannon Smith, and JC Chalk, and it would certainly appear from what we've seen of him that Bryant is more than capable of filling that "18-Wheeler" role that Swoopes played. We also have some guys behind Bryant like Cooper and Johnson who have some very live arms who might play the Shane Buechele role. It would also take the heat off any one guy and just let the new players possibly focus on doing what they do best.
Just a thought, but I wonder if it might not have occurred to the coaches already.

Like the idea. Certainly something of the sort

Will be installed by the offensive play calling guru in TE. I wanna see Muse brought in, inside the tightend during the Jumbo package for a sneak PA pass out in the flat.

Imagine those QB power plays that we got away from last year.

We did the right thing last year protecting DW4, but QB power was a larger chunk of our offense his first 2 years and with Tajh before him.
Could you imagine 23 personnel with Cannon Smith, Milan Richard, Christian Wilkins and Dexter Lawrence blocking?! Behind an interior OL going 321, 304 (322 if Gage wins the job like I suspect), 338. That's some serious beef.

Our offense has a bit of a troika behind it. Between Dabo's

push for innovation and Jeff and Tony tag-teaming with WR's, RB's, and the game plan and play calls, with the sick depth we have brewing at all corners, I'm not leaving anything off the table for what our drives will look like this year and who will be running them play to play.

What do you think of Cain losing 20 lbs?

Does he think he lost too much speed from HS when he bulked up?
