Clemson will face Furman in its season opener on Saturday, Sept. 1, 2018. Here are five storylines to watch, as well as a prediction for the game.
1. Quarterbacks
The top storyline is obvious as we will get our first look at freshman quarterback Trevor Lawrence, who was the No. 1 overall prospect for the class of 2018. Kelly Bryant will get the start on Saturday against Furman, but Clemson’s quarterback battle is far from settled with Bryant, Lawrence and redshirt freshman Chase Brice still battling for the job. Whichever quarterback performs the best could be the starter in Clemson’s first real test next week at Texas A&M.
