Clemson got things started off with a thorough domination of conference rival NC State, going off for 45 points in the first half for an easy win that shows it's right there in the mix with Miami at the top of the ACC.

On the other sideline, the South Florida Bulls enter this game with a 2-1 record after defeating Bethune, losing to No.4 Alabama, and then beating Southern Miss. The Bulls, guided by the team leader in passing and rushing Byrum Brown, will look to pull off a massive upset against a top-eight team on their home turf.
