The biggest game in Clemson program history took place in the Orange Bowl. So perhaps it’s appropriate that the Orange Bowl looms large again for the Tigers. Clemson’s only national title season was capped with a 1982 Orange Bowl win over Nebraska, and 34 years later, the program’s first-ever 13-0 team will be back in Florida, albeit in a different stadium.
The former Orange Bowl has been torn down, and the game is now hosted by Sun Life Stadium, 30 miles north, but the Orange Bowl remains important to Clemson fans.
On New Year’s Eve, the Tigers will return to play the biggest game in its history, taking on No.
