CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Clemson quarterback D.J. Uiagalelei settled in behind the microphone at the ACC Media Days like a veteran, smiling, sharply dressed and politely taking on every question.

It should be another great Georgia-Clemson game. Both teams seem like mirror images, especially if Ga opens up the offense as advertised.
I can't wait for this one!
Dang DJ is as big as Cam Newton. Is he as fast? Never seen him play.
Lost in all the Clemson hype is that DJ will be starting his 3rd game. Previous 2 vs ACC competition and #3 will be against this very stout UGA D. I foresee a very uncomfortable pocket for DJ in this game.
This should be a great matchup! I call it even. I think with Daniel's game experience, more offseason time with his receivers and the Monken offense, the offensive advantage goes to the DAWGS. The Clemson D will be formidable, and with our O-line shuffle still in progress, I give Clemson the edge on defense.
DJ's running ability and size concern me as much if not more than his arm. If he gets in the open field he won't be easy to bring down. We've got to contain him behind the line of scrimmage, and like Kirby said, get a darn effective pass rush going.
Turnovers, who controls the line of scrimmage, and QB play will probably decide the outcome of this game. And who gets over the first game rustiness and jitters the quickest. It could end up being a game of inches...
GO DAWGS!!
This will be a helluva tilt. I agree with observations below on skill match-ups, and being pretty much dead-even. The only other wild card I'd add is the O-line. Our O-line will have to gel fast... and if not outplay the best D-line in the country, then at least hold their own. If there are low turnovers, then that's where the game will be won or lost, since that disrupts everything else. Go Dawgs!
