Though the team had a solid campaign in 2014, they lost to all three ranked teams they played and their breakout star quarterback, Deshaun Watson could not stay healthy over the course of the season. Watson is recovering from a torn ACL but if he stays healthy, he’ll be mentioned in the Heisman Trophy conversation.

He has two of the best weapons in the ACC in receivers Artavis Scott and Mike Williams, but will likely have a true freshman left tackle in Mitch Hyatt after Isaiah Battle left for the NFL Supplemental Draft this spring. If the former five-star recruit, Hyatt can’t keep Watson upright, these following five games could lose their luster if the preseason pick to win ACC Player of the Year isn’t 100 percent.

Let’s take a closer look at Clemson’s schedule and the five most important games that will be must-see tv and shape the Tigers’ season in 2015.
