Clemson-Georgia game boasts two top defenses

Clemson and Georgia take the field in less than two months in the Duke’s Mayo Classic at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C. on Sept. 5 and all eyes will be on the renewal of the historic rivalry.

The game carries significant College Football Playoff implications for both teams that hope to compete for a national championship this season.

PFF College released their rankings for the best defenses in college football on Thursday and put both the Tigers and Bulldogs in the top five. And while both teams possess offensive firepower the season opener will likely be won of the defensive side of the ball.
