The Storylines

Clemson is attempting to win its 19th consecutive game, dating to the start of the 2018 season, to extend the longest winning streak in school history and second-longest winning streak in ACC history. The Tigers are also hoping to win a 14th consecutive game by 14 points or more, which would tie for the third-longest streak in the AP Poll era (since 1936).

The Tigers could also win their 18th consecutive game at Memorial Stadium, dating back to a 56-7 victory over South Carolina on Nov. 25, 2016. The current 17-game streak is the second-longest home winning streak in Clemson history, trailing only a 21-game Memorial Stadium winning streak from 2013-16.

The Tigers are also attempting to improve to 12-2 all-time in games as the AP No. 1-ranked team. Twelve of Clemson's 13 games played at No. 1 all-time entering Saturday have come during the Dabo Swinney era.

Clemson enters the week as the only team in the country with three wins against Power Five conference opponents to its credit.

The Tigers are facing Charlotte for the first time in program history. In fact, Clemson is facing an opponent for the first time for a third straight season, joining the team's debut against Kent State in a 56-3 win in 2017 and Clemson's 38-7 victory against Georgia Southern in 2018. Prior to this three-year run of new opponents, Clemson had most recently faced a new opponent in 2014, facing both Louisville and Georgia State for the first time and earning victories in both contests.

Charlotte becomes the 105th different opponent in program history for Clemson. The Tigers are 62-38-4 all-time in its first meeting with its 104 existing opponents, including a 13-1 mark in first meetings since 2003.


Spend tonight’s game with us in this thread! Brandon Stockdale will be holding down the fort along with the rest of the CST Team.

Well, that was quick. Lawrence to Higgins on a deep throw for a 58-yard touchdown. 7-0 Tigers.

This is going to get ugly. K'Von Wallace's interception makes it 14-0 Clemson with 10:24 left in Q1.

Tigers up 17-0 in a mighty big hurry. Recaps etc aren't going to be fun.

Lawrence is looking sharp so far here at the end of the first quarter. 6/8, 92 yards and 1 TD.

Well, Chase Brice and Will Swinney got into the game on Clemson's last scoring drive. Things are going as expected here tonight in Death Valley. 31-0 Clemson with 8:31 left before the half.

Sorry...I've been asleep watching Clemson crush the 49ers. However, the filming of Safety at the half was awesome. 38-3 Tigers at the break.

What's incredible about this game is that the Tigers didn't do anything spectacular on offense for a fourth consecutive week, but it did feel like that played better.
