Frogs officially add Clemson to schedule

The Frogs now have two road games against Atlantic Coast Conference foes next season. The team will play the University of Virginia two weeks earlier on Sept. 12.
TCU and Clemson last met in the first-ever Bluebonnet Bowl in 1959 when the Tigers topped the Frogs 23-7.
Clemson went 7-6 last season after beginning the year ranked in the top ten.
The Frogs' home game against SMU has been moved to Oct. 3 because of the addition of Clemson to the schedule.
