Clemson will begin the next phase of the 2014 season today when it begins preparations for 12th-ranked Georgia. The No. 16 Tigers head to Athens, Ga., to kick off the season on Aug. 30 at Sanford Stadium. It will be Clemson’s first trip to Georgia since 2002 and the first time the Tigers have opened a season on the road since that last trip to Athens.

But before we start breaking down the Bulldogs and what the Tigers have to do in order to beat them, here is a position-by-position breakdown on how we think Clemson did during its 20 practices in the last 19 days.
