Are The Tigers Set To "Surprise" ?

As reported in a previous posting, Clemson's backs that are nicknamed "Thunder" and "Lightning" are an awesome duo. The idea of James Davis ("Thunder") and C.J. Spiller ("Lightning") in the same backfield makes the Clemson offense more dangerous.

Clemson's offensive coordinator has spent hours researching ways of taking advantage of the Tigers most valuable weapons, trying to strike the balance they lacked last season when Clemson lost four of its last five games.

Running back Spiller has stated that both backs will be in the backfield at the same time. Spiller has been quoted as saying "we've been working on it in camp and it's going great." There have also been reports that Spiller is practicing being under center at QB.
