2021 Clemson football schedule released

The 2021 Clemson football schedule has been released and there’s no reason to believe the Tigers won’t be competing for another CFB Playoff berth.

The ACC unveiled the 2021 conference schedules with dates Thursday morning and no we know exactly what the Tigers will face as we look forward to the fall of this year.

Here’s a look at the 2021 Clemson football schedule:

  • Sept 4: vs. Georgia (in Charlotte)
  • Sept. 11: vs. SC State
  • Sept. 18: vs. Georgia Tech
  • Sept. 25: @ NC State
  • Oct 2: vs. Boston College
  • BYE WEEK
  • Oct. 15: vs. Syracuse (Friday)
  • Oct. 23: @ Pittsburgh
  • Oct. 30: vs. Florida State
  • Nov. 6: @ Louisville
  • Nov. 13: vs. UConn
  • Nov. 20: vs. Wake Forest
  • Nov. 27: @ South Carolina

Let the Clemson football rivalries be renewed

Clemson’s schedule features a renewal of two rivalries, which we all are excited to see.

While these were already previously announced, the Tigers will take on the Georgia Bulldogs to begin the season (a team they haven’t played since 2014) and they’ll close the year with that in-state rivalry game against South Carolina after we didn’t get to see the Gamecocks in 2020.

As far as the ACC schedule is concerned, it is interesting that Boston College (because of how 2020 worked out) will now make its third-straight trip to Clemson. There was talk about the Eagles getting a home game and another Clemson football opponent going on the road in their place, but that didn’t work out to be the case.

Clemson’s trip to Pittsburgh will be the first in program history and it will be fun to see the Tigers travel to Louisville, as well.

Of course, the biggest ACC game on the schedule is likely that match up with Florida State. Fans of both teams got a renewed ‘hatred’ for one another this past fall and it’s clear that’s one of the game that both the Tigers and Seminoles will have circled.

Next. UGA has eight months to come up with excuses. dark

In the end, there is nothing on this schedule that should stand in the way of the Tigers getting back to the CFB Playoff and having another opportunity to compete for a National Title.
