Clemson’s season opener is simply a different beast.
Dabo Swinney and the Clemson Football staff held its annual media day at the Reeves Football Complex, with all eyes on the task ahead.
The last time Swinney’s coaching staff prepared for a ranked opponent in the opener, sure enough, it was the Bulldogs in a neutral site game. A lot can change in three years.
Both squads have changed in more ways than just the roster since their 2021 meeting in Charlotte, where a pick-six gave Georgia the 10-3 victory. The Tigers have not reached the College Football Playoff since 2020, while the Bulldogs have won two National Championships.
