Notable Games:

  • 14-6 win vs. No. 13 Auburn

The 2017 Clemson football season is one that many Tigers forget about simply because it didn’t end with a National Championship appearance.

Despite that, there were certainly some high moments. Clemson continued its streak against South Carolina with a win in Williams-Brice Stadium, the Tigers thrashed No. 7 Miami in the ACC Championship game and they came away four victories against ranked opponents in the regular season.
