Saturday will mark the first time in 21 days No. 3 Clemson will play a football game when it hosts Pittsburgh at 3:30 p.m., at Death Valley on Senior Day and Military Appreciation Day.
The 21-day layoff is Clemson’s longest between regular season games in a single season since 1918, when Clemson went 28 days between games against Georgia Tech and South Carolina.
That year also marked the last major pandemic in American history, as the Spanish Flu and — of greater impact — World War I combined to affect the 1918 college football season.
