1952 Clemson Tigers Football Team
The 1952 Clemson Tigers football team was an American football team that represented Clemson College in the Southern Conference during the 1952 college football season. In its 13th season under head coach Frank Howard, the team compiled a 2–6–1 record and was outscored by a total of 157 to 112. The team played its home games at Memorial Stadium in Clemson, South Carolina.

George Rodgers was the captain of the 1952 Clemson team. The team's statistical leaders in ...
