Earlier Tuesday, ESPN announced Clemson’s game against rival Georgia will be televised in primetime on ABC. The game is scheduled to kick off at 7 p.m., from Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C., as part of the Duke’s Mayo Kickoff Classic.
The Sept. 4 season opener will mark just the seventh time in the history of the rivalry the Clemson-Georgia game will be televised at night. The first one coming in 1982 when the defending national champion Tigers kicked off the season at Georgia, who won the 1980 National Championship.
The 1982 game was on Labor Day Night.
