CHARLESTON, S.C. – The Citadel football team has announced a pair of games for the 2020 schedule. The Bulldogs will travel to face Clemson on Sept. 19, before welcoming Eastern Kentucky to Johnson Hagood Stadium on Sept. 26. Kickoff times will be announced at a later date.
 
"We are very excited to have the opportunity to compete against a program like Clemson," said director of athletics Mike Capaccio. "This offers our cadet-athletes a chance to be on the field with a National Championship team.  We are also very happy to have EKU coming to The Citadel and appreciate them working with us on this game. Finding games is very difficult with our conference making the decision to move to the spring last week."
 
The Citadel and Clemson will be meeting for the 39^th time dating back to 1909. The Tigers hold a 32-5-1 advantage in the series. The teams last met in 2017 season finale for the Bulldogs.
 
The Bulldogs and Colonels are meeting for the first time on the gridiron. The contest will be the just the second game against a team from the Oho Valley Conference in program history. The Bulldogs' only other game against a team from the OVC came in 1960 when The Citadel defeated Tennessee Tech, 27-0, in the Tangerine Bowl.
 
Ticket information will follow.
