ESPN predicts the final score of Clemson football vs. Georgia Tech
The Clemson Tigers have one of the worst offenses in the country, and the statistics bear it out. Georgia Tech has one of the nation's worst defenses. Something will have to give when the teams collide in Week 11 of the 2026 college football season at Clemson Memorial Stadium. Clemson (6-3, 4-2 ACC) ranks 116th among the 138 FBS programs in total offense with an average of 338 yards per game. The Tigers have thrown just four touchdown passes all season and are 105th nationally in scoring offense with 22.7 points per game. Georgia Tech (2-7, 1-5), losers of its last five games entering Saturday's matchup in Death Valley, has a defense that ranks 123rd nationally in yards allowed (418.9 per game). The Yellow Jackets were embarrassed in a 44-17 home loss to Louisville last Saturday, a performance that led to head coach Brent Key insisting he was "damn pissed off" in his postgame press conference with reporters and then dismissing four staff members. For as bad as it has been on offense, Clemson enters Week 11 mathematically alive for a spot in the ACC Championship Game on Dec. 5 in Charlotte. The Tigers are coming off an 18-13 win

Seneca Approves Initial Budget Adjustment for City Administrator Severance Agreement
Seneca officials unanimously passed the initial reading of Ordinance 2026-24, expanding the fiscal year 2026–27 general fund revenue and expenditures by $193,170—drawn directly from municipal reserves—to accommodate payroll and benefit adjustments linked to City Administrator Scott Moulder’s $500,000 settlement package. This action follows a prior decision to advance Moulder’s contractual departure date from May 2029 to December 31, 2026, under an early retirement arrangement where the municipality will purchase credits through the South Carolina Public Employee Benefit Authority (PEBA) to grant him 28 years of service and disburse the remaining balance of the $500,000 as a severance payout in exchange for a liability release, pending final ordinance approval by the local governing body.
