There’s no debate on which team recruits better. On paper, Clemson’s roster is much more talented than Tech’s. The Tigers have a recruiting edge at every position. Unless the offense stalls this weekend or the Yellow Jackets find a way to get around Clemson’s monster defensive line, the Tigers will take their second victory in a row at Bobby Dodd.
