What time is Clemson kickoff?

It’s not difficult to understand why the 6-5 Clemson Tigers listed as underdogs going into Palmetto Bowl week at South Carolina against the 4-7 Gamecocks, but it still might be surprising to see. But when you take stock of the issues with the Clemson defense last year, as well as the injuries along the Tigers offensive line this year, it’s easier to see why this matchup’s variables come into play and swing toward the home team being the favorite. We jump into what Dabo Swinney needs to see from offensive coordinator Garrett Riley and quarterback Cade Klubnik if the two-time national-championship head coach is to avoid his third loss in four seasons at the hands of South Carolina.
