No. 12 Texas A&M (1-0) at No. 1 Clemson (1-0)

When and where: 3:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 7 at Memorial Stadium in Clemson, South Carolina.

On the air: ABC with Sean McDonough, Todd Blackledge and Holly Rowe.

Outlook: There are two big games this weekend and this is one of them. Clemson hammered Georgia Tech, 52-14, in their season-opener while Texas A&M had little trouble with Texas State in a 41-7 win. But, Clemson isn’t Texas State. Tigers’ running back Travis Etienne is the real deal, rushing for more than 200 yards in the opener. The Clemson defense allowed just 294 yards against a not-so-bad Yellowjackets team.

The Last Line: I just don’t see Texas A&M being able to run on Clemson’s defense. I also don’t see the Aggies being able to stop Clemson’s offense with Trevor Lawrence and Etienne.
