Saturday’s contest will be a matchup of two of the 14 winningest programs in FBS history. The programs have combined for 1,623 wins, including 815 by LSU since 1893 (12th all-time) and 808 wins by Clemson since 1896 (13th all-time).

The game will be Memorial Stadium’s seventh matchup of AP Top 10 teams since the facility opened in 1942. Clemson holds a 4-2 mark in home games between AP Top 10 squads, including wins in each of its last three such contests.
