How to watch Georgia Tech vs. Clemson on TV or online, plus 3 things to know

All right, Clemson. Now it’s time to not Clemson.

The Tigers won their first big game of the season in a thriller against Notre Dame last week, and now they have to be taken seriously as College Football Playoff contenders, with arguably the toughest game of the season out of the way. Clemson got off to a fast start and quarterback Deshaun Watson proved why he’s everyone’s Heisman candidate of the future. Clemson is legit, but now it has a more difficult task: not Clemsoning.

To Clemson (v) is to lose a game right after a big win, when everyone has started to believe in you, and this matchup against Georgia Tech has all the makings of a Clemsoning. The Yellow Jackets have underachieved dramatically this year. They were ranked heading into a game against Notre Dame, but lost that game and subsequently lost to Duke and North Carolina.

Georgia Tech has talent and potential, meaning Clemson has its hands full more than it would for a normal 2-3 team. Just don’t Clemson it, Tigers. That’s your biggest task.

1. Can the Georgia Tech offense get back on track? The Yellow Jackets breezed by cupcake opponents to enter the season, but the offense hasn’t been the same since losing to Notre Dame. That will be a tough task against a stout Clemson defense, but it will be necessary to win this game.

2. Clemson almost didn’t finish its game against Notre Dame and the Tigers will need to make sure they show up in the fourth quarter against Georgia Tech. If they don’t, the Yellow Jackets could run all over them.

3. Watch out for a Clemsoning. This is prime Clemsoning territory. But with a win here, Clemson has to be taken seriously as a Playoff contender.
