It is Senior Day in Death Valley for 33 players, as the No. 2 ranked Clemson Tigers (10-0) aim to remain undefeated when they welcome the Duke Blue Devils (7-3) on Saturday night.

Preview
This specific class is one of the most accomplished in program history. With a win Saturday, those select 33 players would collectively have 51 victories over their four years at the school, which would be a new record.
A record head coach Dabo Swinney would be proud to have been there for.
“This is the fifth senior class in a row that has one-upped the previous senior class. They take a lot of pride in that. They have really taken ownership of what they’re leaving behind, more so than probably any group I’ve had. And it’s important to them how they’re impacting the young players on this team.
Included in the young players emerging for this 2018 team is freshman quarterback Trevor Lawrence. Despite playing just six games, Lawrence, who replaced senior Kelly Bryant earlier this season, leads the ACC in touchdown passes with 19.
Matchup to Watch: Clemson’s defense ranks in the Top 10 nationally in several categories. The Tigers boast one of the best defensive lines in the nation, who have successfully controlled the line of scrimmage in their recent string of blowout victories. Duke’s defense is better against the pass than the run, meaning sophomore running back Travis Etienne should be more heavily featured in the gameplan.
Duke also boasts a terrific freshman quarterback. Daniel Jones has racked up five victories for the Blue Devils this season, while throwing for 1.948 yards, 16 touchdowns and just six interceptions.
