Ralph Russo of The Athletic spent several days in Clemson before and after covering the Tigers' comeback win over North Carolina.
Russo is trying to wrap his mind around the complicated questions surrounding legendary coach Dabo Swinney if this season ends up being more of the same after last year's six-loss disaster.
Can Clemson still be a national contender? Is Swinney's roster management a hindrance to that aspiration?
Will Clemson be a regular contender for the ACC championship, or does the current reality for the Tigers point more toward them being middle of the pack?
Lots of questions that are hard to answer through three games, but Russo believes the next couple months in Tigertown are going to be very interesting.
Before joining The Athletic, Russo spent 20 years as the lead national college football writer for The Associated Press. He also previously worked as the AP's Mississippi-based sports writer and did a stint with The Denver Post.
Ralph is a native New Yorker and a graduate of Fordham University.
