Second-ranked Clemson returns home to Death Valley on Saturday as it hosts Georgia Southern for the first meeting between the two programs. Kickoff from Memorial Stadium is scheduled for noon. The game was originally scheduled to kick off at 3:30 p.m., due to Hurricane Florence.
Who has the edge?
Georgia Southern’s Shai Werts vs. Clemson’s Isaiah Simmons: The Eagles rank fourth nationally in running the football, averaging 326.5 yards per game on the ground. The trigger guy is quarterback Shai Werts, who guides Georgia Southern’s triple-option attack. Werts, who is from Newberry, was offered by Clemson as a defensive back.
