No. 4 Clemson did not include a depth chart in the first edition of its weekly Monday “game notes,” and coach Dabo Swinney confirmed Tuesday the move was made partially for competitive reasons before they play No. 9 LSU on Saturday. “We’re just trying to be mysterious, keep everybody guessing,” Swinney said.
