Auburn Game Day: Where to Watch, Where to Listen and Where to Park |
It’s Game Day in Clemson, and No. 3 Clemson plays host to No. 13 Auburn in an early-season ACC/SEC matchup.
In this edition of Game Day, we let you know the pertinent facts, how and where to watch listen, stadium policies and where to park. Clemson opened the season last week with a 56-3 victory over Kent St., while Auburn claimed a 41-7 victory over Georgia Southern. Auburn has a 34-14-2 lead in the series with Clemson, but Clemson has won three in a row, including a 19-13 win at Auburn last year. Clemson’s win at Auburn was its first win there since 1951 and it was Clemson’s first season opening win at a school currently in the SEC since 1903. Auburn had won 14 straight in the series prior to Clemson’s 38-24 win in 2011 at Clemson. Prior to that game Clemson had not beaten Auburn since 1951. Clemson’s modest three-game winning streak in the series has taken place at three different venues. The Tigers won 38-24 at Clemson in 2011, by a 26-19 margin in 2012 in Atlanta, and last year at Auburn. If Clemson defeats Auburn on Saturday it would give Clemson its first four-game winning streak against an SEC team since the Tigers defeated South Carolina four in a row from 2002-05. Clemson has not had a four-game winning streak against a current SEC school other than South Carolina since the Tigers had a seven game winning streak against Georgia from 1900-06.
