Tigers v Bama...Clemson lookin' for 1st win since 1905


With the launch of the College Gameday website this week it is important to note that the two schools have not met on the gridiron since 1975 when Alabama defeated Clemson 56-0 in Tuscaloosa. Alabama has an 11-3 lead in the series that dates to a 35-0 Clemson victory in 1900. College football Hall of Fame Coach John Heisman was Clemson’s coach that day.

Clemson won the first three games of the series, as the Tigers followed with shutout wins in 1904 and 1905.

Alabama has won the last 11, so Clemson has not beaten Alabama since 1905.
