On Saturday, Sept. 3, Clemson will kickoff its 2016 football season against Auburn at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn. This will be the first time the teams have faced off since 2012, when Clemson defeated Auburn, 26-19 in the first Chick-fil-A Kickoff Classic in Atlanta.
In the history of the rivalry between the two Tigers, Auburn leads Clemson 34-13-2. However, Clemson has come out on top in the two most recent matchups.
Last season, Auburn went 7-6, only winning two games in SEC play. Their biggest wins came against Louisville, Texas A&M and Kentucky, while they went on to defeat Memphis in the Birmingham Bowl.
