Live Blog: Clemson faces Penn State in the 2025 Pinstripe Bowl

Clemson and Penn State meet one final time this season with plenty still on the line, even if the road here looked nothing like what either program expected back in August. The Tigers enter the Pinstripe Bowl at 7-5, carrying momentum and a chance to close the year on a five-game winning streak inside Yankee Stadium.

Penn State arrives at 6-6 after a turbulent season that took several sharp turns. The Nittany Lions opened the year 3-0, then watched things unravel during a six-game slide that completely reshaped their outlook. A late surge, however, brought three straight wins and one more opportunity to end the season on a positive note.

Both teams started 2025 ranked in the preseason top five, with championship expectations that faded quickly. Clemson’s hopes disappeared by late September, while Penn State’s collapse soon followed, leading to a major coaching change before the season reached its final stretch. What remains is a bowl game between two proud programs trying to reclaim some footing.

Despite decades of national relevance on both sides, this is only the second meeting between Clemson and Penn State. The Tigers won the first matchup convincingly in the 1988 Citrus Bowl. Now, under the New York skyline, Clemson coach Dabo Swinney looks for his 13th postseason win as his team takes the field one more time.

Follow along with us as Clemson takes on Penn State in the 2025 Pinstripes Bowl.
