Football is back, and for Clemson, it starts Saturday night at 9:05 on The Plains when the Tigers take on Auburn in a nationally-televised contest.
The game is the opener but it’s also critical for both teams – it’s an ACC-SEC matchup, Clemson has College Football Playoff aspirations and Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn is firmly on the hot seat after two very average seasons.
Clemson has won the last two in the series, but Auburn holds a 34-13-2 lead in the all-time series and Clemson hasn’t won in Auburn since 1950.
There’s a lot on the line Saturday night.
