Clemson will be without several starters for Saturday’s matchup against Louisiana Tech.

In addition to defensive tackle Bryan Bresee, who is back home with his family after his sister Ella Bresee passed away earlier this week, the Tigers will be without Tyler Davis, Nate Wiggins and Andrew Mukuba.

Davis was hurt in Clemson’s opener against Georgia Tech, while Thomas suffered a foot injury during fall camp.

Mukuba was banged up during practice this week, according to a source, as was Wiggins.

Other players out for Clemson include defensive end Greg Williams, defensive tackle Tre Williams and defensive end Xavier Thomas.

Clemson is a 33.5-point favorite for the matchup with Louisiana Tech.

The Tigers are 2-0 on the season after opening the year with wins over Georgia Tech and Furman.

Louisiana Tech is 1-1 after falling to Missouri in the opener, before bouncing back with a dominant win against Stephen F. Austin last week.
