    Dabo Swinney and the Clemson football program have a major test today as they face off against the No. 1 ranked Georgia Bulldogs led by head coach Kirby Smart.

    With Clemson’s depth chart now released, all eyes are on the Tigers as they prepare to face Georgia in a high-stakes season opener. While these two storied programs share a long rivalry stretching back to their first clash in 1897, their paths to this game couldn’t be more different.

    For Georgia, the focus is on redemption. Last season, despite dominating the regular season, their playoff hopes were dashed by a loss to Alabama in the SEC Championship. Now, they’re out to prove they belong back on top.

    Clemson, however, is looking beyond just making it back to the College Football Playoff. With this depth chart, Dabo Swinney’s squad is ready to show they can remain among the sport’s elite. A victory in Week 1 would be the perfect start to their championship aspirations.
