Clemson Tigers to Host Georgia State in 2027: A Second Chance for Revenge?
The Clemson football program has announced a future non-conference home game, adding a potential rivalry match-up to their 2027 schedule. On November 6, 2027, the Tigers will welcome the Georgia State Panthers to Memorial Stadium, marking the second time these teams will face off.
The first encounter between Clemson and Georgia State took place on November 22, 2014, with the Tigers dominating the Panthers with a score of 28-0. This upcoming game provides an opportunity for the Tigers to potentially avenge that loss and solidify their dominance in the series.
This non-conference game is part of a balanced schedule for Clemson in 2027, which includes home games against Notre Dame and Wofford, as well as a road trip to South Carolina. The Tigers are also set to play just eight conference games through the 2028 season, according to recent reports, giving them a manageable workload compared to other ACC teams.
Georgia State, on the other hand, had a challenging 2025 season, finishing with a 1-11 record. Their lone victory came at home against Murray State, with a final score of 37-21 on September 13. The Panthers will be looking to make a statement in their upcoming matchups, especially against a formidable Clemson team.
This addition to Clemson's schedule could spark excitement among fans and provide an opportunity for the Tigers to showcase their prowess against a competitive opponent. Will the Tigers be able to secure a win and potentially avenge their previous loss? Only time will tell, but this game is sure to be a thrilling addition to the 2027 season.
