Do not look now but here comes the rain, again.

The good news is it will not be like it was last week when a front sat right on top of South Carolina and dumped nearly 30 inches of rain on some parts of the state, including Columbia and Charleston. However, the local weather people in the Upstate are calling for thunderstorms to hit the Clemson area on early Saturday morning with more in the afternoon when the sixth-ranked Tigers host Georgia Tech at 3:30 p.m. in Death Valley.

Future cast models have rain percentages around 90-percent in the day time and 40 percent at night with showers ending early in the evening.

“Wow! Well, we are well prepared for that,” Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney said after Wednesday’s practice.

Last week, the Tigers (4-0, 1-0 ACC) played in a monsoon in beating Notre Dame, 24-22.

“Like I said, coming into (the Notre Dame) game, ‘Alright boys, it is time to bring the Air Force out. It’s is time to get the Air Force going,’ and we ended up calling in the Navy because of the situation that we had.”

Swinney said he really has not looked at the weather because, “It really does not matter.”

The heavy showers in the Notre Dame game did limit Clemson in what it wanted to do in the passing game. The Tigers completed just one down field pass in four attempts last week, and that was a 24-yard pass to Hunter Renfrow in the first quarter.

“We will be ready to play no matter what,” Swinney said.

Clemson did make up for the lack of passing by getting 111 yards rushing from running back Wayne Gallman and 92 yards on the ground from quarterback Deshaun Watson. Clemson has rushed for 200 or more yards in three of its four games this season and is averaging 194 yards a game.

Take care of the ball. In last year’s loss to Georgia Tech (2-3, 0-2 ACC), Clemson turned the ball over three times, which all led to 17 Yellow Jacket points. Two of those turnovers led directly to touchdowns as Georgia Tech returned two of Cole Stoudt’s three interceptions for scores.

That was the difference in a 28-6 loss in Atlanta. If the Tigers want to beat the Yellow Jackets this year they have to eliminate those kinds of mistakes.

“We have to take care of the ball. We can’t throw it to them. That helps when you don’t score for the other team,” Swinney said. “We were blazing out of the gates and were up and down the field off to a great start and then the next thing you know we have to two picks sixs.”

Swinney said it was a great lesson to his players that they always have to be ready to play. Deshaun Watson went down in the game with what turned out to be a torn ACL in his left knee. Stoudt was not ready to go, and when he came in, he threw three interceptions and two that were returned for six points. He was eventually pulled in the second half for Nick Schuessler.

“It was a great lesson because Cole was not ready to play. He just was not ready to play, mentally or emotionally or whatever. He came in and he really had a bad game,” Swinney said. “That’s a great lesson for everybody. You have to always be ready. You never know when you are going to be called into a game.

“We made some really poor mistakes right there.”

Both Clemson and Georgia Tech are plus-3 in turnover margin.

Injury update. Defensive end Dane Rogers will play in Saturday’s game against Georgia Tech after missing the last couple of games with a bad ankle.

Freshman defensive end Austin Bryant will not play in the game, while defensive end Chris Register will also sit this week out, thought Swinney did not expect him to play this week. Register, who has been out quite a while with a shoulder injury, was just cleared to get back out in practice. They will let him loose on Monday and see how healed his shoulder is when he starts getting banged around, again.

Swinney said Bryant is going to be okay. They hope they can have him back for the Boston College game. He said it is not a long term injury.
