TIGER TIDBITS
Twelve of the last 19 games in the series have been decided by five points or less, including a six-game streak between 1996-01 in which every game was decided by exactly three points. That might be a first in college football history. We aren’t talking by three points or less, but exactly three points. Eleven of Georgia Tech’s last 13 wins in the series have been decided by seven points or less.
Clemson has won the last two games and three of the last four. But all three of those wins were at Clemson. The home team has won each of the last five games. The last win for the visitor took place at Clemson in 2008, when Georgia Tech downed Clemson 21-17 in Dabo Swinney’s first game as the Tigers’ head coach.
The series dates to a 23-0 Clemson win in Augusta, Ga. in 1898, just the 11th game in Tiger football history. In fact, Clemson won the first four games in the series, including games in 1902 and 1903, when John Heisman was at the helm. Clemson defeated Georgia Tech in Atlanta 73-0 in 1903 with Heisman as head coach. Heisman left Clemson after that season to become Georgia Tech’s head coach.
