The game will feature arguably two of the best quarterbacks in college in LSU's Garrett Nussmeier and Clemson's Cade Klubnik, both of whom have been uttered this offseason in way-too-early Heisman Trophy consideration this upcoming season.

Coach Dabo Swinney’s Tigers went 10-4 last season and returned to the College Football Playoff for the first time since 2020. Clemson returns star quarterback Cade Klubnik (43 total touchdowns) and 15 other starters on offense and defense and ranks No. 1 in the country in total returning production, per ESPN.

LSU and Clemson will meet during the regular season for the first time when the teams square off on Saturday, Aug. 30, at Memorial Stadium. It will be LSU’s first trip to Clemson’s Memorial Stadium and it marks the fourth consecutive year LSU’s season-opener will be televised in prime time on ABC.
