Clemson football will open up the 2018 season with a home game against the Furman Paladins Saturday afternoon in Death Valley.
The Tigers will be looking to get a lot of guys into the game early and often as they attempt to get ready for the remainder of the season and a run at a College Football Playoff berth.
