Clemson prepares for matchup against Georgia Southern this week
Summary

Clemson prepares to host Georgia Southern as the team looks to rebound from a recent loss to LSU. Georgia Southern enters the contest following a 31-0 victory over Charleston Southern to open its season. During that shutout, the Eagles recorded six sacks and limited their opponent to 109 passing yards. Quarterback Max Johnson leads the Georgia Southern offense after joining the program as a transfer. The team previously relied on an option offense for years but has shifted toward a passing-heavy strategy under coach Clay Helton.
