CLEMSON RETURNS HOME TO TAKE ON TROY

Clemson will return to Death Valley on Saturday, Sept. 6 when the Tigers host the Troy Trojans for a non-conference contest. Kickoff at Memorial Stadium in Clemson is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET on ACC Network.

Last week, Clemson opened a season with an AP Top 10 opponent for the third time in five years, and the Tigers dropped a one-score game to No. 9 LSU after a potential game-tying drive ended in the LSU red zone with 59 seconds to play.

Clemson has historically rebounded well under Head Coach Dabo Swinney, as the Tigers are 37-10 in games following losses in his tenure including season openers after defeats in the prior year’s season finale.
