The last time Clemson lost on an opponent’s home field was on November 15, 2014.
That was the afternoon in which Deshaun Watson got hurt and backup quarterback Cole Stoudt was not prepared to take on a Georgia Tech defense that swarmed him all day at Grant Field in Atlanta. Though the defense played well enough to win, two interception returns for touchdowns and another that set up a third score allowed Georgia Tech to hand Clemson a 28-6 loss.
Since then, the Tigers have been almost unbeatable away from Death Valley. Heading into this Saturday’s ACC showdown with Virginia Tech, in a rematch of last year’s ACC Championship Game, Clemson has won a school-record 11 straight games in what is dubbed a true-road game.
