Clemson vs. Georgia slated for Prime Time

The season opening football game between Clemson and Georgia at Clemson on August 31 will start at 8pm and will be televised by ABC. The ACC and SEC made the announcement on Tuesday. This is the first of a two-game series between the longtime rivals, as Clemson will go to Georgia in 2014. Both teams finished in the top 10 of the final USA Today poll last year, as Georgia was fourth with a 12-2 record, while Clemson was ninth with an 11-2 mark. Both schools figure to be ranked in the top 10 of many preseason polls with the return of their respective starting quarterbacks.  Clemson’s Tajh Boyd and Georgia’s Aaron Murray both ranked in the top five in the nation in passing efficiency and touchdown passes last year.
