The Clemson Tigers will play host to the Furman Paladins, which will be a nice exhibition game for the Tigers.
There is no line up for this contest yet, but once it comes out it should be a big number.

Furman Paladins
Furman will be coming off of a solid season in which they went 8-5 and 6-2 in the Southern Conference under the guidance of head coach Clay Hendrix
They were good enough to tie for second in the Southern Conference and made the FCS playoffs where they took out Elon in the first round, but faltered to Wofford in the next round.
The Paladins will have All-Southern Conference QB P.J. Blazejowski back for another season, but will be battling Harris Roberts for the starting job.

They should have a solid receiving corp that will feature Thomas Gordon who posted 39 catches and 717 receiving yards.
This under talented Furman squad doesn’t have a chance in this contest, but they did keep it close with Michigan State in their opening game last year where they kept it within 15 points.
Clemson Tigers
Clemson will look to build off of another stellar season under head coach Dabo Sweeney in which they went 12-2 and made it to the College Playoffs, but they were man-handled by the eventual NCAA Champions Alabama Crimson Tide 24-6.
Returning a stacked team, the Tigers will feature an elite defensive line that may be one of the best d-lines that we will ever see featuring Clelin Ferrell, Austin Bryant, Dexter Lawrence, and Christian Wilkins who all could certainly be drafted in the first two rounds of the NFL draft.
Another important factor to this squad’s success this year is that they’ll be returning QB Kelly Bryant who filled in just fine for DeShaun Watson as he posted a 13:8 TD to INT ratio, and although that isn’t really impressive, he has the experience under his belt along with a scary defense.
[dfads params=’groups=219&limit=1&return_javascript=1′]
Being ranked as the second best team in the country makes this the highest preseason ranking in Clemson history, but it is certainly warranted as this team is loaded with talent.
It is National Championship or bust for Clemson this season.

This is going to be an easy win for Clemson and I don’t expect Furman to put up any points in this contest, the question is will Clemson be able to cover the expect huge spread, and my guess is that they blow Furman away.
