CLEMSON, S.C. — Clemson will be back on ESPN's College GameDay, although not from campus.
The college football show will be broadcast from Atlanta's Centennial Olympic Park on Aug. 30, near where the Tigers will open the season against Alabama in the Georgia Dome. That game will be broadcast on ABC.
College GameDay will be part of the ESPN Kickoff Week Festival. The network says it will show 24 games across all their broadcast platforms from Aug. 28 through Sept. 1.
College GameDay came to Clemson in 2006 before the Tigers 31-7 victory over Georgia Tech.

Dozens of players followed coach Bob Stoops' lead in going through screening to become a bone marrow donor, hoping to help a 10-year-old Sooners fan and others suffering from cancer and blood disorders.
"When you think about it, one day you could actually save somebody's life. To me, that's something really important that you should do," said linebacker Austin Box, who sat down at a table to complete his screening shortly after Stoops got done.
