PREVIEW

Clemson will play the first of back-to-back road games to close its conference slate when the Tigers face the Virginia Tech Hokies on Saturday, Nov. 9. Kickoff at Lane Stadium in Blacksburg, Va. is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET.

The contest will be only Clemson’s third true road game of the season, as Clemson’s first eight games included five home games, two road games and one neutral-site contest. Clemson is 8-2 all-time at Lane Stadium, and its .800 winning percentage there is tied for the highest of any opponent that has played at least five games in the venue since it opened in 1965.
