When: Saturday, November 26th

Where: Memorial Stadium, Clemson, SC

How to Watch: TBA

Clemson has Deshaun Watson, the best college football player in the country. Last season he threw for 35 touchdowns and ran for 12 more. Those are video-game numbers. By contrast, South Carolina’s Perry Orth threw 12 touchdowns and ran for one.

All that wouldn’t matter if South Carolina was stacked everywhere else the way that Alabama was last season, but that is far from the case. Steve Spurrier left the cupboard pretty bare in Columbia. Will Muschamp has a multi-year rebuilding job on his hands.

Prediction: South Carolina will throw everything and the kitchen sink at Clemson, because an upset over the Tigers would make their season. But it won’t be nearly enough. Clemson will win as big as they feel like winning.
