It was announced on Sunday that Clemson and Penn State will face off on December 27 at noon in the Pinstripe Bowl at Yankee Stadium in New York.

The Nittany Lions (6-6, 3-6 Big 10) opened as a 3.5-point favorite over the Tigers (7-5, 4-4 ACC) per Action Sports.

This will mark the second time the two teams have squared off, with Clemson beating Penn State 35-10 in the 1988 Citrus Bowl.

The Pinstripe Bowl berth extends Clemson’s school-record bowl streak to 21 years, the longest streak in the ACC and the fourth-longest streak in the country. Clemson’s 21-year streak dates to its Champs Sports Bowl win against Colorado to close the 2005 season. Though Clemson opted against a bowl appearance in 2004, Clemson has now been bowl eligible in 27 consecutive seasons, dating to a 1999 appearance in the Peach Bowl.

Overall, the Tigers have won 27 bowl games, tied for the 11th most in college football history.
