Game Thread: Boston College vs. #1 Clemson (12:00PM, ABC)
It's gameday as Boston College (4-2) faces off with the #1 Clemson Tigers today at noon in Death Valley. The big story of the game is the absence of quarterback Trevor Lawrence who will miss the game due to a positive COVID-19 test. Even with their star missing, Clemson still has a cadre of weapons, including running back Travis Etienne and wide receiver Amari Rodgers. Given their depth and talent, Clemson is still huge favorites in today's game.
