I think the defending national champions Clemson Tigers are asked to cover too many points as they are in a letdown/look-ahead spot here in their first game of the season.

To be honest, there's not much to like about the rebuilding Yellow Jackets with their new head coach, a completely new system (no more triple-option offense) and just nine returning starters, so let me clarify; Clemson is not running the risk of losing to Georgia Tech straight up, but giving more than five touchdowns is a lot, particularly in Week 1.

The Tigers will most likely only play their starters until they've built a sizeable lead, then let their second and third units finish the job as they have a much bigger fish to fry next week when No. 12 Texas A&M comes to Clemson Memorial Stadium.

8* play on Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.
