It's finally here! Clemson football is back, and you couldn't have scheduled a more exciting game to start the season. The Tigers will take on the No. 1 ranked Georgia to kick off the season.

Clemson and Georgia have a storied history dating back to 1897. The two programs have met 65 times over the last 127 years, with the Bulldogs leading the series 43-18 with four ties. The Tigers' last victory came in a back-and-forth battle in 2013.

Georgia returns star quarterback Carson Beck. He threw for 3,941 yards last season but is without his top receiver, Brock Bowers. However, the Dawgs' second-leading receiver Dominic Lovett returns. They'll be short on running backs with Trevor Etienne's suspension and Roderick Robinson II out after having toe surgery.

On defense, Georgia brings back around 55 percent of its production from last season, which ranks 80th in the country. However, like Clemson, it has a revolving door of former five-star talent waiting for their big shot.
