Clemson sets date for annual spring game

Spring practice and preparations for the 2022 college football season are quickly approaching.

Clemson’s complete schedule was announced Monday, along with a set date for its annual spring game. The Tigers will host the Orange vs. White scrimmage on Saturday, April 9, on the ACC Network. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m.

Spring practice always hold this importance, but there will be plenty of storylines for the Tigers. With new coordinators on each side of the football, the next three months will be crucial for re-establishing the standard for Clemson.

And for the spring game, it will be the first true look at the revamped quarterback room. DJ Uiagalelei continues to be the sitting starting quarterback but five-star quarterback Cade Klubnik is on campus and will be participating throughout. Could a strong string of practices and spring game put Klubnik officially in the mix for the starting job?

That is one of just many questions that will be answered in the coming months. And now Tigers fans have a spring game to look forward to.

What Clemson basketball must do to have strong second half of season

Clemson still has time to make a move in the ACC and enter the NCAA Tournament conversation.

But it’s imperative that the Tigers continue to build off of strong performances against Pitt and Duke their last two times out and not take a step back when they host Florida State Wednesday night.

Clemson 11-9 (3-6) has 11 ACC games remaining, and of those, seven are at home.

The Tigers have lost four of five entering Wednesday’s game against the Seminoles, but the last two games in particular, Brad Brownell’s team has played very well. He’s hoping that continues after more than a week off.
