This Saturday, Clemson aims to ride a five-game winning streak into the Pinstripe Bowl against Penn State. Both teams, though, overcame rough stretches, with Clemson rebounding from early-season stumbles to finish 7-5 and Penn State rallying from six straight losses to become bowl eligible.

Now, while Clemson closed the regular season with a 28-14 win over South Carolina, powered by Cade Klubnik’s 268 passing yards, PSU enters with momentum, too. They have three straight wins, including a 40-36 victory over Rutgers behind Kaytron Allen’s 226-yard career day.

What time does Clemson vs Penn State start?

The Clemson vs. Penn State matchup will kick off at 12 p.m. ET, with the backdrop of the Tigers taking the first clash, a 35–10 win in the 1988 Citrus Bowl.

Nearly 40 years later, the rematch lands on a baseball diamond for the Pinstripe Bowl. It’s an unexpected stage neither fanbase could have imagined back in August. However, Clemson is chasing more than a single victory.
