The Georgia Bulldogs will wear white jerseys, silver britches and their usual red helmets.

Clemson will don its orange jerseys, white pants and orange helmets. That’s a little too much orange for our taste, but at least the Tigers aren’t wearing orange pants.

The team’s jersey combinations will resemble the same versions both teams wore in the 2013 game at Clemson. The Tigers won 38-35. Clemson is considered the home team for the Duke’s Mayo Classic, which will be played in Charlotte, North Carolina, at Bank of America Stadium.

Watch this crazy college football fan give himself a mayo bath on College GameDay

For the majority of the country, today is the season opener for the college football season, and the excitement is oozing all over. In the case of one especially excited college football fan, it’s dripping in mayo.

College GameDay is on the scene live in Charlotte, North Carolina for a massive Week 1 showdown between Georgia and Clemson for the Duke’s Mayo Classic. The game could be a potential preview of a College Football Playoff matchup, or it could justifiably be considered a potential tiebreaker for one of the final playoff spots at the end of the season.

Regardless of what happens later tonight, here’s hoping this enthusiastic college football fan has time to get a shower before kickoff. Considering he dumped a bulk store size jar of mayo all over himself and lathered himself up in the contents of the jar, he’s going to need it.

College football is back, baby!

Clemson and Georgia take the field in less than two months in the Duke’s Mayo Classic at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C. on Sept. 4 and all eyes will be on the renewal of the historic rivalry.

The game carries significant College Football Playoff implications for both teams that hope to compete for a national championship this season.

PFF College released their rankings for the best defenses in college football on Thursday and put both the Tigers and Bulldogs in the top five. And while both teams possess offensive firepower, the season opener will likely be won on the defensive side of the ball.

PFF ranked Alabama at the top with Georgia at No. 2 and Clemson at No. 3.

The Tigers return essentially their entire defense for the 2021 season with the exception of cornerback Derion Kendrick who was ushered off the team this spring and transferred to Georgia where he hopes to make an instant impact in the secondary.

Georgia boasts possibly the toughest defensive line in the nation behind nose guard Jordan Davis and defensive end Travon Walker. Kendrick will help fill a hole at corner alongside redshirt freshman Kelee Ringo.

The unit will have its work cut out against the D.J. Uiagalelei, Justin Ross, E.J. Williams and the Tigers’ offense but is more than talented enough to hold its own.

There are a lot of reasons to get excited for the matchup between the Tigers and Bulldogs but two of the best defenses in the nation squaring up gives plenty of reason for intrigue.
