PREGAME: True freshman Tait Reynolds gets the start at quarterback as Clemson opens ACC play. What do you need to see early to believe the Tigers have taken a step forward offensively?

Sound off below.

Today's Big Question

Can Clemson turn drives into touchdowns?

Clemson moved the ball better against Georgia Southern, finishing with 416 total yards, but Nolan Hauser kicked five field goals and accounted for 16 of the Tigers' 22 points.

With Reynolds taking over at quarterback, watch what happens when Clemson crosses midfield. Moving the football is one thing. Finishing drives is another.

Quick Hitters

• ACC Opener: Clemson begins conference play looking for its eighth consecutive win over North Carolina.
• QB1: Reynolds makes his first career start after producing 216 yards of total offense against Georgia Southern.
• Defensive Response: Clemson held Georgia Southern to 22 rushing yards after surrendering 309 at LSU.
• Negative Plays: Clemson has allowed 22 tackles for loss through two games.
• Series: Clemson leads North Carolina 41-19-1 all-time.

One Thing to Watch

Clemson's first two possessions.

Does the offense look different with Reynolds? Is Clemson staying ahead of the chains? Most importantly, can the Tigers get into the end zone instead of settling for field goals?
