Clemson, Oklahoma officially announce football series |
CLEMSON, S.C. — Clemson announced today that it has formally added a home-and-home series against Oklahoma to its schedules for the 2035 and 2036 football seasons. Oklahoma will make its Death Valley debut on Sept. 15, 2035, and Clemson will face the Sooners in Norman, Okla., on Sept. 13, 2036.
Barring any postseason matchups, Clemson’s 2035 game against Oklahoma will be the sixth all-time meeting between the two programs. Oklahoma won the first two meetings between the programs, defeating Head Coach Frank Howard’s Tigers in Oklahoma in 1963 and 1972. Clemson has since won each of the teams’ last three meetings, all bowl matchups, including the 1989 Citrus Bowl (13-6), 2014 Russell Athletic Bowl (40-6) and 2015 Orange Bowl (37-17). The matchup in 2035 will represent Oklahoma’s first trip to Memorial Stadium in Clemson. The additions of these meetings between top programs in non-conference play are part of Clemson’s scheduling philosophy of supplementing its annual rivalry game against the University of South Carolina with additional non-conference contests against premier opponents. Clemson’s schedule in recent and future years includes home-and-home series with Georgia (2013-14 and 2029-30), Auburn (2016-17), Texas A&M (2018-19), LSU (2025-26) and Oklahoma (2035-36). “This series against Oklahoma is yet another example of our longstanding commitment to adding another Power Five opponent to our schedule beyond our annual rivalry game with South Carolina,” Director of Athletics Dan Radakovich said. “We look forward to two of the sport’s premier programs facing one another in Death Valley in 2035 and in Norman in 2036.” Future Non-Conference Opponents: 2019: Texas A&M, at South Carolina, Charlotte, Wofford 2020: at Notre Dame, South Carolina, Akron, The Citadel 2021: Wyoming, at South Carolina, UConn 2022: at Notre Dame, South Carolina, Louisiana Tech, Furman 2023: Notre Dame, at South Carolina, Florida Atlantic, Wofford 2024: Georgia (in Atlanta), South Carolina, Appalachian State, The Citadel 2025: LSU, at South Carolina, Troy, Furman 2026: at LSU, South Carolina, Charleston Southern 2027: Notre Dame, at South Carolina, Wofford 2028: at Notre Dame, South Carolina 2029: Georgia, at South Carolina 2030: at Georgia, South Carolina 2031: Notre Dame, at South Carolina 2032: South Carolina 2033: at South Carolina 2034: at Notre Dame, South Carolina 2035: Oklahoma, at South Carolina 2036: at Oklahoma, South Carolina 2037: Notre Dame, at South Carolina
