12. vs. Furman Paladins

We start our list off with the season-opening game.

The Tigers will open up the 2018 season with the Furman Paladins. The Paladins are ranked in the preseason FCS rankings and are looking to improve in Head Coach Clay Hendrix’s second season.

Interestingly enough, former South Carolina quarterback Connor Shaw is a member of the Furman football staff.

This game should be nothing more than a dress rehearsal for Clemson football.

The Tigers should be able to play a lot of different guys and let the talent of the depth chart show.
