What’s at stake

Clemson can improve to 15-1 over its past 16 road games with a win against the Aggies. The Tigers have only one road loss dating back to the end of the 2014 season, which came last year at Syracuse.

Clemson is going for its first win in the state of Texas since the 1959 Bluebonnet Bowl. The Tigers are 0-2 all-time at Texas A&M.

The Tigers can record their fourth consecutive true road victory over an SEC team with a win Saturday, which would be the longest streak in school history.

The teams, by the numbers

Clemson players to watch

1. Clemson defensive lineman Christian Wilkins was dominant last weekend against Furman, and while this will be a much tougher test, Wilkins will show up ready to play. The senior returned to school to try to become a first-round NFL draft pick, and he can make a statement with a strong performance Saturday night in primetime.

2. The Tigers will need to play well on the offensive line as Clemson plays in front of the biggest crowd in program history. Left tackle Mitch Hyatt is the leader of the group and will have the task of protecting the blind side of Kelly Bryant and Trevor Lawrence. The Tigers also need to have success in the running game so that everything doesn’t fall on the shoulders of the two quarterbacks.

3. Texas A&M rushed for more than 500 yards in the opener, led by Trayveon Williams, who finished with 240. Clemson’s linebackers will have to play well, most notably Tre Lamar, who has excelled against the run throughout his career.

Texas A&M players to watch

1. Running back Trayveon Williams is off to a great start in 2018 after rushing for 798 yards and eight touchdowns last year. Texas A&M opened the season with Northwestern State this past Saturday, and Williams put up 240 yards and three touchdowns on 20 carries.

2. Sophomore receiver Jhamon Ausbon was one of the top receivers in the country for the class of 2017 and lived up to the hype by catching 50 passes for 571 yards while earning Freshman All-SEC honors last year. Ausbon led the Aggies with six catches for 81 yards against Northwestern State.

3. Defensive lineman Landis Durham is back after leading Texas A&M with 10.5 sacks last season. He added 12 tackles for loss in 2017 and already has recorded a tackle for loss this season.
