Other Rivalries
Clemson's intra-conference football rivalries include Georgia Tech (GT leads 47-24-2), NC State (Clemson leads 48-27-1 in the Textile Bowl), Boston College (O'Rourke-McFadden Trophy, Clemson leads 9-8-2), and Florida State (FSU leads 16-7).
Clemson has a lesser rivalry with the University of Georgia, born because of the two institutions' close proximity (roughly 75 miles apart). Clemson and Georgia first met in 1897, only the second year the Tigers fielded a football team. The rivalry was at its height in the 1980s, but the two programs have not played each other since 2003. The athletic departments recently added games to be played in 2013 at Clemson and 2014 in Athens. Georgia leads the football series 41–17–4, winning the past five meetings in a row after last losing to the Tigers in 1990.
