Overview

  • Kickoff is set for noon ET at Bobby Dodd Stadium in Atlanta with television coverage on ESPN.
  • Betting markets list Clemson as a narrow favorite at roughly -3 to -3.5 after opening around -7, with the total in the low 50s.
  • Georgia Tech quarterback Haynes King practiced this week and is described as likely to start after missing Week 2; backup Aaron Philo threw for 373 yards in the win over Gardner-Webb.
  • The trenches are a focal point as Tech’s offense has allowed no sacks and run efficiently, facing a Clemson front led by Peter Woods, T. J. Parker and transfer Will Heldt.
  • Clemson has won nine straight in the series, but forecasts are divided, with CBS models and many experts backing the Tigers and others, including ESPN’s Greg McElroy, calling for a Jackets upset.
