Will Leroy Hill be ready to play Saturday?

Clemson's star linebacker is nursing an ankle injury and is listed as "50-50" for Saturday's opener at home against Wake Forest.

TEAM LEADERSHIP WANTED: Clemson is seeking it, and there are plenty of candidates.

IT'S MILLER TIME, AGAIN: The State weighs in on defensive back Justin Miller, who is hoping his junior year is better than his sophomore season.

REVENGE IS SWEET: The Augusta Chronicle has a story on the revenge factor in Saturday's Clemson-Wake Forest game. As you remember, Wake Forest crushed Clemson 45-17 last season. And Bart Wright of The Greenville News is writing about retribution, too. (More on revenge here and here.)

VERBAL SPARRING: Clemson says Wake Forest's blockers play dirty, which enables Deacons running back Chris Barklay to get big gains. Barclay responds.

THE NOTEBOOK: It's right here.
