The Tigers began the season ranked 4th in the AP poll, and started their season with a game against 9th-ranked LSU. Clemson would lose the game, at home, 10–17. They would defeat Troy before losing to rival Georgia Tech and Syracuse. This was Clemson's worst start to a season since 2004, where Clemson also started 1–3. The Tigers won their next two games, both on the road, against North Carolina and Boston College. However, they could not continue their streak, losing home games against SMU and their homecoming game against Duke. This was their first home loss to Duke since 1980.

The Tigers turned the season around after those losses by going on a four game winning streak. The streak included wins over rivals Florida State and South Carolina, and a road win over 20th-ranked Louisville. Clemson finished the regular season 7–5 and earned an invitation to the Pinstripe Bowl. The team lost 10–22 against Penn State to end their season. Clemson lost 5 regular season games for the first time since 2010. Four of those losses came at home. Their seven wins were also their lowest since 2010.

The Clemson Tigers drew an average home attendance of 79,142, the 15th-highest of all college football teams.[1]
