The Clemson Tigers have a chance to end their worst season since 2010 with a five-game winning streak and a victory against Kentucky (7-5) in the Gator Bowl on Friday, Dec. 29. The game will be live streamed on DirecTV Stream (free trial) and fuboTV (free trial and $20 off the first two months).

Clemson was at a crossroads in late October, its season on the verge of unraveling following consecutive one-score losses to Miami and North Carolina State.

At 4-4 and long removed from the College Football Playoff picture and the Atlantic Coast Conference championship race, the Tigers had a decision to make.

The Tigers upset Notre Dame and knocked off Georgia Tech, North Carolina and rival South Carolina to salvage what had looked like it was going to be coach Dabo Swinney’s worst season in 15 years at Clemson.

Kentucky had little go right in October and November. The Wildcats lost five of six before upsetting rival and then-No. 9 Louisville in the Governor’s Cup.

That landed them in the Gator Bowl. It got better from there when star running back Ray Davis decided to play in the game despite announcing plans to turn pro.

When is Clemson-Kentucky?

Clemson and Kentucky play at 11 a.m. (noon ET) on Friday, Dec. 29.
