Is the Clemson game canceled? A look at Tigers’ schedule for Week 5

The Clemson Tigers are set to face off against the Stanford Cardinal in Week 5 of the 2024 college football season. Both teams enter the game with 2-1 records.

There have been some developments regarding the matchup. Let's examine them and consider whether they could necessitate a postponement.

Is the Clemson Tigers game canceled?

No, the Clemson Tigers versus Stanford Cardinal game has not been canceled. However, it took quite the effort for Stanford to make the flight for the game.

According to SF Gate, the Stanford Cardinal football team was unable to make its cross-country flight to South Carolina on Thursday ahead of Saturday's CFB game at Clemson.

According to FlightAware, the Stanford football team was initially scheduled to fly out of San Jose on Thursday afternoon and land at Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport in Greer, South Carolina, just after midnight on Friday. However, the flight was eventually canceled after the football team sat on the tarmac for hours.

Subsequently, Stanford rebooked its flight for Friday morning out of San Francisco. The flight reportedly arrived in South Carolina after 7 p.m. EDT, less than 24 hours before kickoff of the Cardinals' matchup against the Clemson Tigers.

Stanford football spokesperson Brian Brownfield confirmed that the Stanford-Clemson game will take place on Saturday night despite the flight delay.

The Clemson Tigers have started the season with a 2-1 record, with their sole loss against the Georgia Bulldogs in Week 1. The Tigers will host a Stanford Cardinal side with a similar record, albeit with slightly less impressive results.
