Thoughts:

It should be a fun day to get back in Death Valley.

The Tigers will be running down the hill to the tune of Tiger Roar with 80,000+ in orange there to root them on. No matter who you are, that certainly sounds exciting.

For the Clemson football fans watching at home, you will be able to tune right in to the game after College GameDay is finished. Beth Mowins will be calling the game and Anthony Becht will be her color analyst.

This game should, in all likelihood, be a blowout. Kent State just doesn’t have the talent to match up with Clemson for an entire game.

I think the game will most likely be out of hand before halftime, leading to us getting to see a lot of different players get on the field.
