A non-conference matchup is on for this weekend in Auburn, as the 16th-ranked Tigers play host to ACC Clemson at Jordan- Hare Stadium. Gene Chizik is in his second season at Auburn and already has the Tigers poised for a run at the SEC West title. The Tigers began the season with a great deal of optimism and have done little to change that with a pair of wins, including opening SEC play last week with a hard-fought 17-14 victory over Mississippi State. Dabo Swinney's Tigers are also off to a fast 2-0 start thanks to easy wins over North Texas (35-10) and Presbyterian (58-21). This is Clemson's first road test of the season and will be followed by a bye before kicking off ACC play on October 2nd against Miami-Florida. Auburn holds a 33-11-2 advantage in the all-time series, with wins in each of the last 13 meetings with Clemson. The ACC's Tigers haven't won in this series since 1951. The last meeting was in the 2007 Chick- fil-A Bowl, a 23-20 overtime win for Auburn.
