Clemson opens play Saturday night against Auburn

The Clemson Tigers begin the 2012 football season Saturday night before a national TV audience in Atlanta’s Georgia Dome as they face the Auburn Tigers.  Clemson defeated the defending National Champion Auburn team in Death Valley last season, a win that broke Auburn’s winning streak, at the time the longest in the nation.  It was the first win for Clemson over Auburn since 1951.  Kick-off for Clemson/Auburn in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game is set for 7:05 PM Saturday.
