Clemson Football: When could possible UGA, LSU match ups take place?
The Clemson football program could be taking on a couple of solid SEC programs in the next couple of years, according to AD Dan Radakovich.
The Clemson football program could be taking on a couple of solid SEC teams in Georgia and LSU in the next couple of years.
Clemson Athletic Director Dan Radakovich told SportsTalk SC that the Tigers are currently looking to schedule games with both of the programs.
With that in mind, here’s the earliest that the Tigers could take on one of these SEC powerhouses.
Clemson Football Future Scheduling…
Currently, the next non-conference openings for the Tigers are in 2021 and 2024. Clemson has Notre Dame on the schedule in 2022 and 2023 and has the rest of the non-conference slate filled in those years.
With that being said, it looks as if 2021 and 2024 are our target dates. Possibly a neutral-site match up with Georgia in 2021 and LSU in 2024?
Could it be that we see a battle of Tigers on a neutral field say in 2021 and then a home-and-home series with Georgia schedule later down the road?
It could be thought of that Clemson goes to LSU in 2021 and then LSU goes to Clemson in 2024, but I really believe that we’re probably looking at a neutral-site match up for those two teams. Just speculation here, but it makes more sense that these two teams just schedule one game, sort of like a “quick hit.”
The only other way would be if we waited until far into the future to set up a “monster series.” Then, we could see the two teams schedule a home-and-home and then a neutral-site match up.
But, I really believe that Clemson football will be trying to get a home-and-home series with Georgia more so than LSU. I think the rivalry and proximity between the two schools makes more sense.
