I bet this game gets rescheduled

Nah, it's only in the SEC where people hand-wring over hurricanes & such. In the ACC we just play the dang games, storm or no storm. No weaseling out of games we may be afraid we might lose. In 2015 Clemson-Notre Dame was played on schedule, in spite of an epic rain event tied to Hurricane Joaquin (which the next day turned out to be a serious natural disaster for the state of South Carolina). Last year NCState-Notre Dame & NC-VaTech, in Raleigh & Chapel Hill respectively, were played right in the middle of Hurricane Matthew, while Florida-LSU was rescheduled even though it was nowhere near the eventual path of the storm. (SC-Georgia in Columbia was postponed to the following Sunday, which did seem like a prudent move at the time.)

Seriously though, it looks like Irma won't be affecting weather in the southeast until late Sunday or so. Besides, Clemson is far enough inland that it wouldn't bear the brunt of a tropical system anyway. But whether it's in the moonlight or a drenching downpour, Dabo's boys will show up ready to play & Clemson fans will show up ready to yell their team to victory.
