One of Clemson's keys to the game just got a little easier to accomplish.

For months, the biggest question for Clemson and Bulldog fans alike has finally been answered. Florida transfer and brother of former Tiger Travis Etienne, Trevor Etienne, was arrested in March on DUI charges that were later dropped in a plea deal. Earlier this week, the media asked Georgia head coach Kirby Smart about Etienne's status for Clemson.

"I don't really talk about any of the other stuff in regards to any of our players with suspensions," said Smart. "But I'm excited about all the guys that are gonna get an opportunity to play."

However frustrating that answer was for fans, it doesn't matter now. The cat's out of the bag. Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports reported on X that Etienne is expected to sit the former Gator against Clemson.

Georgia will be without its top two running backs with Etienne's suspension. Sophomore RB Roderick Robinson II will miss several weeks, if not months, after having surgery on his toe.

The Tigers now have the opportunity to make Georgia one-dimensional by stopping Georgia's rushing attack, but is it enough to pull off the upset? You can find out today at noon on ABC!
