Jimbo Fisher said that when he became Texas A&M's coach after eight seasons at Florida State, he didn't know the Aggies were playing Clemson this season.
The No. 2 Tigers play the Aggies at Kyle Field on Saturday.
It will be the ninth consecutive season Fisher has faced Clemson, which is an Atlantic Coast Conference rival of Florida State.
"I had no idea," Fisher said of Texas A&M's home-and-home series with Clemson the next two seasons. "It was kind of ironic. I said, 'Really?' "
Fisher's Seminoles went 4-4 against Clemson and Coach Dabo Swinney, but the Tigers beat FSU in each of the previous three seasons.
