CLEMSON, S.C. — Clemson hosts Georgia Tech at Memorial Stadium on Saturday, Nov. 14, for Senior Day and a milestone for head coach Dabo Swinney. Kickoff in Clemson is 12:30 p.m., and The CW has the broadcast.
The Tigers are 6-3 overall and 4-2 in the ACC after back-to-back road victories over conference opponents. Georgia Tech arrives 2-7 and 1-5 in league play. Swinney said the Yellow Jackets are better than their record suggests.
Saturday will be Swinney’s 250th game leading Clemson. He is 193-56 so far. His first game as a head coach came on Oct. 18, 2008, against the same opponent, soon after he took over as interim coach. A 250th game would put his win total third among FBS head coaches through that many games, behind only Joe Paterno and Tom Osborne at 212 apiece.
Clemson is chasing its seventh victory, which would stretch its run of seven-win seasons to 16. The two schools are meeting for the 43rd time in 44 years, and Swinney is 12-6 against Georgia Tech going in.
Up to 30 seniors will be honored, although several have not decided whether to come back for another season. The group includes Swinney’s youngest son, Clay, the latest of three brothers to hold the placekicking job since 2017. That streak ends after this season.
Fans can hear the game on the Clemson Athletic Network, with Don Munson on the call. The pregame lineup includes a free performance by Vertical Horizon at 10:30 a.m. at the Stacks Stage.
