My bold prediction. It's the 1st game of the year, there's no preseason in CFB.
Clemson has had a full off season of 'rat poison' adoration and their hanging their NC banner. I predict Clemson isn't fully focused and starts slow.
GT has issues, the transition is going to result in sloppiness and bone-headed mistakes at times. I also think we're going to come in with very high energy and excitement. We have the benefit of no expectations. We have nothing to lose and everything to prove.
First game of the season sloppiness on both sides. I predict it's close at the half. Tech is clearly outmatched, but some big effort plays, and maybe a turnover, let Tech make stay in the game early. After the half, Clemson wakes up and dominates. But plays it conservative, final score 31-20 Clemson.
