There are only a few games each season that play a really, really big role in the national title chase, and no non-conference game might mean more than this one, especially for Clemson.
While the Tigers have done some nice things under head coach Dabo Swinney, and the ACC championship a few years ago was great, this is bigger. The tone is set and the spotlight is on, and now if Clemson can pull this off and beat the Bulldogs for the first time since 1990, it might be a three-game season ? Florida State, at South Carolina, ACC championship ? for a shot at the BCS title.
There?s a margin for error with Georgia, who can afford one loss and still play for the whole ball of wax by winning the SEC championship and finishing 12-1. However, with South Carolina coming up next and LSU looming at the end of September, this might be a must-win situation for a loaded team full of enough talent to win the first national title since the Herschel Walker era.
Do the Tigers have a lockdown corner good enough to keep up with the Georgia receivers? Clemson?s secondary struggled throughout last season despite the help of a terrific pass rush, and while there?s just enough experience and just enough talent to get by, it might be target practice for Aaron Murray. This is not the team or the offense to go against when you?re trying to break in new players in key positions. Clemson ranked 110th in the country, just between UTEP and Eastern Michigan, in the number of plays yielded of 30 yards or more ? expect a lot more to come to kick off 2013.:scared
The Bulldogs cant bet better losing Jarvis Jones, Alec Ogletree, John Jenkins, and on and on and on. It?s Georgia, so the defense will find talented athletes who can fill in the gaps, but if there?s no consistent pass rush early on when Tajh Boyd settles in the pocket, it should be bombs away. There?s almost no experience returning to the Bulldog defensive front, and while the Tigers line probably won?t be a killer, four starters return.
The last team to get the ball wins?

When the periods are under it means I have copied and pasted info. Then I comment. I wont say this again thru the season.
Georgia really should win but Clemson is a very difficult place to win on the road. Remember last year on the road in South Carolina and how that turned out.
We will see what we will see.
