The contest will represent the second all-time meeting between two of the nation’s premier programs in Clemson and Penn State. The Tigers and Nittany Lions first squared off on New Year’s Day in 1988 when Danny Ford’s squad concluded a 10-2 campaign in 1987 by handing Joe Paterno and Penn State its largest margin of defeat in a bowl game in school history in a 35-10 Clemson victory.
The contest represents Clemson’s first Pinstripe Bowl selection among its 52 all-time bowl/College Football Playoff appearances.
The Pinstripe Bowl berth extends Clemson’s school-record bowl streak to 21 years, the longest streak in the ACC and the fourth-longest streak in the country. Clemson’s 21-year streak dates to its Champs Sports Bowl win against Colorado to close the 2005 season. Though Clemson did not make a bowl appearance in 2004, Clemson has now been bowl eligible in 27 consecutive seasons, dating to a 1999 appearance in the Peach Bowl.
Though the game will be Clemson’s first Pinstripe Bowl appearance, it will not represent the Tigers’ debut in New York City. In 1952, Clemson’s Don King ran for a freshman-record 234 rushing yards as the Tigers tied Fordham, 12-12, at Triborough Stadium on Randall’s Island.
