Head Coach Dabo Swinney's mantra, "they remember November," highlights Clemson's historical success in the last month of the regular season. With a 49-13 record and 30-4 in the last nine years, Clemson aims to achieve an unprecedented five wins in November this year. Though they had a perfect record in November multiple times, recent attempts to win five games have fallen short, making this season particularly significant. The phrase originally stemmed from former West Virginia Coach Bill Stewart after a 2009 loss, yet Swinney has made it emblematic of the team's final month focus.

By the Numbers
  • Clemson’s record in November under Swinney: 49 wins, 13 losses.
  • Last nine years in November: 30 wins, 4 losses.
  • Clemson’s history includes 18 seasons with a perfect 4-0 record in November.
  • Only second time since 1958 that Clemson is playing five games in November (last in 2008).
State of Play
  • Clemson is looking to win all five games in November for the first time in history.
  • Current season includes two wins over ranked teams and three wins over teams with winning records.
What's Next

The upcoming games will determine if Clemson can secure a perfect record this November, aiming to break their historical pattern of losing at least one game in this month. Success could solidify Swinney’s legacy and further enhance the program’s reputation.

Bottom Line

This November could mark a pivotal moment for Clemson football, as achieving five wins would set a new standard for the program, reflecting both historical success and current aspirations.
