Sept. 9 at Clemson

Yes, Auburn played Clemson tough at home in 2016, losing by just six points. And yes, Clemson has lost star quarterback DeShaun Watson and an number of other key players. But this is the defending national champions, and the school that is often called “Auburn with a lake” will be playing at home in Death Valley. This will be Auburn’s second game of the year, and a win here will set the tone for the rest of the season. Here’s hoping that coach Gus Malzahn and his as-yet-unnamed offensive coordinator will have determined who Auburn’s starting quarterback will be by this game.
