Clemson has won four straight games against Georgia Tech and six of the last seven in the long-time series. In the three years Sean Pollard has been a part of the ACC rivalry, the Tigers have won by average margin of 20.3 points.
As top-ranked Clemson gets set to host the Yellow Jackets in Thursday’s season opener (8 p.m., ACCN) at Death Valley, the experts have the Tigers as a 36.5-point favorite, which makes sense considering they are the defending national champions, have won 15 straight games, have owned Georgia Tech as of late and it’s the first game for Tech under new head coach Geoff Collins.
