Get Up! It's a Clemson Football Gameday! Gator Bowl Edition

Clemson (8-4, 4-4 ACC) takes on Kentucky (7-5, 3-5 SEC) in their season finale.

One more game. One more chance to see the Tigers hit the gridiron before the doldrums of the offseason set in. Basketball and baseball can only fill the void so much. Savor the 60 minutes of football for your team in 2023.

Clemson (8-4, 4-4 ACC) will take on Kentucky (7-5, 3-5 SEC) at Noon on ESPN in the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl. While the Tigers want to finish this season on a high note, perhaps more important is the program heading into the 12-team College Football Playoff era with positive momentum. That starts on Friday in Jacksonville.

Gator Bowl Dream Team

Clemson participated in the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl Dream Team event.

Roster Updates: Clemson will be without a plethora of starters; LB Jeremiah Trotter Jr. (NFL Draft), S Andrew Mukuba (Transfer - Texas), CB Nate Wiggins (NFL Draft), WR Beaux Collins (Transfer - Notre Dame), DL Ruke Orhorhoro (NFL Draft).

Weather: It'll be a cool, but sunny one in Jacksonville with temperatures in the mid to low 50s. Watch out for 13-15 mph winds to play a factor in the kicking game.
