In one of the most-hyped season openers of the Dabo Swinney era, the No. 4 Clemson Tigers host No. 9 LSU on Saturday in the first of a home-and-home series between two schools with the same stadium nickname.
Clemson has lost its last two games that kicked off a new season, while LSU is still looking for its first season-opening win under head coach Brian Kelley, entering his fourth season with the Bayou Bengals. Clemson is 4-2 against AP Top 10 teams, including three consecutive wins, inside their Death Valley.
The game is sold out and Clemson fans are encouraged to wear orange.
