Hello, and welcome to another edition of ‘Live-Blogging Shish on College Football’. Tonight, it is an ACC Football game, between Clemson Tigers and Duke Blue Devils.
 
Clemson is looking for another College Football Playoff Championship run. They will do it a new quarterback. Tigers will start with Cade Klubnik. Klubnik replaces DJ Uiagalelei (Transferred to Oregon State University). Klubnik needs help from Will Shipley and Adam Randall to score touchdowns.
 
For Duke, they want to build off their 9-4 season from 2022. This year, they will get a rough start at home against Clemson. They will look to Riley Leonard to lead the offense against the vaunted Clemson Defense.
 
It is Clemson Tigers and Duke Blue Devils, coming up shortly.

Tigers are in their white uniforms, with orange helmets. While the Blue Devils are in their blue jerseys, white helmets and pants.
