During a media conference call via Zoom on Wednesday, ESPN college football analyst Kirk Herbstreit previewed Saturday’s matchup between third-ranked Clemson and No. 5 Georgia at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte (7:30 p.m., ABC) and gave his keys to the game.
Herbstreit believes the game will come down to two things – which team is better prepared to be more physical in the trenches coming out of camp, and which quarterback, Clemson’s D.J. Uiagalelei or Georgia’s JT Daniels, doesn’t make a crucial mistake.
“I look at this as any time you get two powerhouses together like that without a game or two to warm up before meeting, who’s done a better job in August of hitting each other and going through camp in a very physical way is probably the team that will come out of here with a win,” Herbstreit said.
