Clemson is coming into this game as one of the few teams that has not played a game yet but after seeing the way Florida State ran up the score on LSU Sunday night, Clemson is going to be hungry to do the same thing here as they are competing for a National Championship this season. Clemson has a lot of returning production with all of their starters on offense and defense being players who were on the team last season and they have also made an upgrade at QB with Cade Klubnik. Klubnik was the backup for Clemson last season but the offense moved a lot better when he was in and now that he is the starter getting 1st team reps, he will be even better this year. They are going up against a Duke team that was also very good last season as they were 9-4 overall and they had a very good offense that scored a lot of points in their games, but their defense was a big issue against teams with stronger offenses and they did lose 3 games in their conference as a result. Clemson has a much better defense this season and it is going to be tough for Duke to score in this game but that offense will still move the ball at home here and they are going to score some points in this game as they will fight their conference opponent hard here. Clemson also has a much better offense this season though and they are going to score points in this game as they will be hungry to blow Duke out and make a statement that this is still their conference to win and that they are a real threat for the National Championship. Clemson has a big point to prove this season after being out of the playoff conversation the last few seasons and they are going to be playing this conference game with a chip on their shoulder, looking to run up the score in this game. Between these two teams, there will be enough points in this game to push it over the total here.
