GREENSBORO, N.C. – Clemson’s Sept. 14 football game at Syracuse will be a Primetime game, the ACC and ESPN announced Wednesday.
The reigning national champion Clemson Tigers will kick off at 7:30 p.m., against the Orange on ABC. The game is part of ABC’s “Saturday Night Football” lineup, which features a season-long slate of marquee matchups.
Multiple celebrations have already been planned around Clemson’s visit to the Carrier Dome. In addition to serving as the team’s home opener, the game is the centerpiece of Syracuse University’s Orange Central (Homecoming) Weekend.
In the last two years, Syracuse is the only team to defeat Clemson during the regular season.
