Get Ready for Kickoff: Clemson 2023 Football Schedule Released
Clemson University has announced its 2023 football schedule, with 12 regular-season games starting on September 2, 2023. The schedule includes six home games and six away games, featuring matchups against ACC opponents such as Boston College, North Carolina State, and Pittsburgh.
The season opener will be a home game against Western Carolina, followed by away games against South Carolina State and Georgia Tech. The much-anticipated showdown against in-state rival South Carolina will take place in November.
Clemson will also have non-conference games against South Florida and Louisiana Tech. The 2023 season will conclude with the ACC Championship game on December 2, 2023.
The 2023 season will also mark the 10th time in 12 years that Clemson will open conference play on the road. The team has won each of its last eight conference openers since 2015, a school record, and will be facing Duke in Week 1 for the first time in series history. This year will also be the fourth time in the last 14 years that the Tigers will not play multiple SEC opponents in the regular season.
With the dissolution of divisions, the ACC has adopted a new 3-5-5 schedule model for 2023, and Clemson will face Florida State, Georgia Tech, and NC State as its permanent rivals. Under Dabo Swinney, the Tigers have a 31-12 record against these three programs and have an impressive 21-1 record against them since 2015.
In conclusion, the 2023 schedule for Clemson football is filled with challenges and opportunities. The Tigers will face a tough slate of opponents, including 10 Power Five Conference teams, and will once again play a seven-game home slate at Death Valley. Fans can look forward to two separate three-game homestands.
Clemson fans can look forward to another exciting season of college football, with some tough opponents and rivalries on the horizon.
