The teams, by the numbers

Clemson players to watch

1. Clemson quarterback Kelly Bryant played well last week at Texas A&M as he works to continue to hold off freshman sensation Trevor Lawrence as the Tigers’ starting quarterback.

2. Clemson’s defensive line, including senior Austin Bryant, will need to play well against Georgia Southern’s triple option attack. Bryant should get some one-on-one matchups with the Tigers having a loaded defensive front.

3. Tavien Feaster barely saw the field last week, but the Tigers still have high hopes for him this season. This could be an opportunity for Feaster to break out against an overmatched opponent.

Georgia Southern players to watch

1. Former Newberry High star Shai Werts is back as Georgia Southern’s starting quarterback and is off to a strong start in 2018. Werts leads the Eagles in rushing with 246 yards and four touchdowns. He is also 11 of 16 passing for 183 yards and two scores.

2. Running back Wesley Fields led the Eagles in rushing a season ago. He has 173 yards and a touchdown in 2018 after finishing with 811 yards and five scores last year.

3. Cornerback Monquavion Brinson led Georgia Southern with five interceptions and 12 pass breakups last year. This year, he is Georgia Southern’s leading tackler through two games with 14 stops, including 12 solo tackles.
