Clemson’s 24-22 victory against then-No.

Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said the defensive concern was never with its starters this year, but with the younger players having to step in as primary backups.
All three defensive backs who came up with takeaways in that game-Jamal Golden, Chris Milton and D.J. White-are back in Georgia Tech’s secondary, which is made up of four senior starters, also including Demond Smith, this season.
The Georgia Tech volleyball team will play its annual pink match, this year titled “Jackets For The Cure” presented by UnitedHealthcare, on Friday, October 9 at 7 p.m. against Louisville on ESPN3.
Week 5 showed that the ACC’s Coastal Division is up for grabs and that the college football landscape is not as clear cut as it was at the beginning of the season. I don’t know who was sixth last week, but where are they now? Just go searching school soccer.
Clemson is 4-0 on the season, 1-0 in the ACC, 2-2 against the spread and 3-1 with the under. As the countdown to kickoff continues to tick, we see an undefeated No. 6 Clemson football team looking to continue their momentum against a 2-3 unranked Georgia Tech squad.
“You’d better be ready to play Georgia Tech”, Swinney said. Georgia Tech has gone 230 straight games without being shutout. They lost to Duke, who has just a loss to a ranked Northwestern team.
Clemson should not be chalking this up as a win before taking the field, but if they properly execute up to their full potential they should be able to handle the widely-feared triple option offense on Saturday. The Tigers have won the past 12 games at Death Valley and can tie their record by defeating the Yellow Jackets… “If we have a letdown, we’re going to get our butts kicked”.
Not if you listen to Venables, grateful his team hung on – “BYOG, bring your own guts”, as Swinney said after the game – but disappointed they let a comfortable, 18-point lead almost slip away in the final quarter.

“We got to take care of the ball”, Swinney said.
