Live from Death Valley: Clemson's spring game |
Brandon Rink
· · Saturday, April 05 2025
Clemson's spring game kicks off at 1 p.m. Saturday and will feature some new and returning aspects.
Instead of the split-squad setup of previous years, it will be the Orange team offense versus the White team defense. Within that battle, there will be an additional new scoring system beyond what's typical to football (TD + PAT = 7 points; field goal = 3, safety = 2, etc.). The defense will get points for missed field goals (3 points), fourth-down stops (3), takeaways (3), 2-point conversion stops (2), three-and-outs (1) and missed PATs (1) also. There will also be some drills before the game (starting at approx. 12:15 p.m.) that take Tiger fans into a more spring practice session feel. Gameday info (via Clemson) April 5, 2025 | Kickoff at 1 p.m. Back in The Valley tomorrow! 🐅 pic.twitter.com/zUU4ugSqe5 We'll bring you updates and join in on the action below:
