00:00Let's start with Clemson and Georgia. I'm always a fan coach. When these big programs

00:10schedule other big programs in other conferences to start the year, I love it. I don't want to see

00:16you playing New Hampshire or any of these other teams week one. I love heavy hitter football,

00:21the first game, and that's what you get coached with Clemson and Georgia.

00:24Well, and I hope we continue to have it with the large conferences. I'm not sure what teams are

00:29going to continue to do that. This is a great game. Clemson really against Georgia. Georgia

00:34is the team Clemson was about six years ago. They've got a great quarterback that can lead

00:38the team, NFL prospect, great defense, great offensive line, and a running attack, and they

00:43are so strong. There's only one team, Ohio State, that has the talent level that Georgia does,

00:48and it's just Clemson without the portal, without that side of the ball, it's going to be hard for

00:53them to keep up. I think Clemson will keep it close, and I think Clemson will be ready for

00:56this game. They'll be ready. You know, they played a tight, low-scoring game a couple years

01:02ago in Charlotte, coach, and now they swing it, and they move it over into Georgia. I always,

01:07you know, they call these neutral site games, and Georgia's playing in Atlanta. Coach, that ain't a

01:11neutral site game. I don't care how close Clemson is in South Carolina. That is a Georgia home game,

01:17coach. You know it. It'll be red and black, I'm sure, and most of the stands will be red and black,

01:23but Clemson needs to, you know, it's going to be a low-scoring game, I think, because I think

01:26both teams are going to run the football, going to try to control the line of scrimmage. I think

01:30Clemson's going to want to try to run it to take the pressure off Klubnick. I think Georgia wants

01:34to run it all the time. They've got ATN, who does a great job. They've got a great offensive line,

01:39so I think they're going to, I think it stays close at halftime. The only way Clemson has a

01:43chance, and I don't, I think they'll beat the line. I just don't think they'll win the game,

01:47is to keep that game close at half and keep their confidence up, because all they've heard about

01:51is Georgia, Georgia, Georgia.
