Friday's Beanie Bowl a "big day" for the Tigers as game prep continues

CLEMSON – The college football season kicks off Week Zero Saturday, but there is still plenty of important of work to be done for the reigning national champions.

This weekend – and Friday’s annual Beanie Bowl – are extremely important as Clemson turns its attention to Thursday night’s season opener against Georgia Tech.

With close to 40 new people on Clemson’s team, the extra time to prepare for the first game has been well spent.

“We have more time to prepare for this game than any game we play, ever,” head coach Dabo Swinney said after Thursday’s practice.
