The Clemson Tigers return to the gridiron in Week 7 of the 2026 college football season. Dabo Swinney and his team host the Charleston Southern Buccaneers at Clemson Memorial Stadium.
Clemson (3-1) had a bye in Week 5 after falling 41-13 to the Miami Hurricanes the previous Saturday at Memorial Stadium. The Tigers kept things reasonably close until late in the third quarter when the Hurricanes erupted for three touchdowns in the final 15-plus minutes. Tait Reynolds was sacked six times and Clemson's beleaguered offensive line gave up nine tackles for loss.
Reynolds, a true freshman and former four-star recruit, threw for a season-high 295 yards and completed 29 of 44 passes while throwing one interception. Bryant Wesco Jr. led all receivers with
nine catches for 152 yards. Charleston Southern (3-3) is coming off a 49-39 victory over South Carolina State. Jared Echols threw for 194 yards and three touchdowns while completing 17 of 29 passes.
