CLEMSON — When Clemson lost to LSU to open the 2025 season, I wrote I will not call Memorial Stadium “Death Valley” until they return the favor next year and beat the Bayou Bengals in Baton Rouge, La.
So far, I have stayed true to my statement. But little did I know Clemson was going to eliminate it too.
Though the Tigers still call Memorial Stadium “Death Valley” they are playing like it is a “Welcome Valley,” as they have lost four consecutive games to Power 4 opponents at home. It is the longest such streak by Clemson since the 1994 and 1995 teams did the same.
