Pre-game Buzz: Clemson v. Duke

Some buzz before the Tigers season opener against Duke.

It’s finally time to play some football!

The Clemson Tigers are one of the teams that everyone is excited to see this season. The buzz for game one is high with a new starting quarterback, new offensive coordinator, and a stockpile of expectations.

The relationship between Cade Klubnik and Garret Riley will have a microscope on it. Riley is coming from TCU, turning their offense into one of the best last season, and Klubnik is coming off his first start which was in the Cheez-It Bowl. This is an excellent opportunity for both to establish themselves and truly earn the respect of Tiger Nation.

This is not an easy game, though. He’s opening a season with a conference game on the road, but I’m sure Swinney is thankful he has a stout defense to lean on.
