CLEMSON — Kickoff is inching ever so close, and Saturday represents one of the biggest home-openers for Clemson in quite some time.
The fourth-ranked Tigers will host ninth-ranked LSU, giving Clemson its first home opener that features two opponents ranked inside the Top 10 since 2013. It’s also the first Top 10 match-up at home since the Deshaun Watson-Lamar Jackson battle in 2016.
This game will mark the seventh matchup of AP Top 10 teams since the facility opened in 1942. Clemson holds a 4-2 mark in those previous six contests, including that 42-36 win over Louisville in 2016.
