2 vs.32 Bowl Appearances 2009 Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowl

Academic Excellence• Clemson has had 47 players in the last 10 seasons

who have played for the Tigers after they earned their undergraduate degree. That includes four current Tigers (Thomas Austin, Durrell Barry, Sadat Chambers, Chris Chancellor) on the 2009 team. Six more players will join them as graduates for the Mu-sic City Bowl, giving the program 11 players with de-grees when the game against Kentucky is kicked off on December 27.

• Clemson’s football team had 44 players named to the academic honor roll for the 2009 spring semester. Each of the top-eight team GPAs have taken place in the last 10 years. That includes the 2009 spring se-mester when the team had a 2.61 GPA, second-best on record.

• C.J. Spiller was a First-Team All-ACC selection on the field and in the classroom during the fall of 2008. He actually made the Dean’s List in the classroom with a 3.5 GPA. He was the first Clemson football player to earn First-Team All-ACC honors on the field and in the classroom since the 2001 season. Spiller received his degree on December 17, 2009 along with team-mate Jacoby Ford. Ford and Spiller hold the NCAA record for combined all-purpose yards by team-mates.

• In the last 10 years, 80 percent of the scholarship football players who have stayed until their senior season have earned their degree. All 20 seniors on the 2006 team and 17 of the 19 seniors on the 2008 team already have their degrees.

• Chad Carson and Kyle Young were first-team aca-demic All-Americans in 2000 and 2001. Clemson was the only Division I school in the nation with two first-team picks each year. Young was a first-team academic All-American from 1999-01 and became just the second ACC player in history to be a three-time, first-team selection. He is one of just two of-fensive linemen in college football history to be a three-time, first-team academic All-American. He is currently an associate athletic director in the Clem-son Athletic Department.

• Chad Carson joined Kyle Young in graduating from Clemson University Summa Cum Laude. In 2002, Carson reached the final stage of the Rhodes Schol-arship selection process, as he was the only Division I football player in the nation who could make that prestigious claim.

All-Star Selections• C.J. Spiller finished sixth in the voting for the Heis-

man Trophy this year. He had 26 first-place votes and 223 total points, as he was named on 140 of the 925 ballots. It was the highest finish by an ACC player since Chris Weinke won the award in 2000.

• Clemson has a history of decorated football players. The program boasts 62 different All-Americans in its history, including three players on the current team. C.J. Spiller was a unanimous All-American this year, just the third in Clemson history. DeAndre McDaniel and Spiller both made the Football Writers first team, while offensive guard Thomas Austin was a third-team choice by Sporting News.

• In 2006, Gaines Adams was a unanimous All-Ameri-can. He played his final game in the 2006 Music City Bowl against Kentucky. Now Spiller, a unanimous All-American, will play his final game as a Tiger in the Music City Bowl.

• Gaines Adams, C.J. Spiller, and Terry Kinard (1982) are the only three unanimous All-Americans in Clemson history.

• Clemson has had at least one First-Team All-ACC player each of the last 33 years, the longest active streak and the longest overall streak in ACC history. C.J. Spiller, DeAndre McDaniel, and Michael Palmer were First-Team All-ACC picks in 2009.

• Clemson had nine players named to the ACC’s 50-Year Anniversary team, more than any other school. The list of honorees shows the balance of the pro-gram over the years, as every area of a football team (by position) was represented. The nine players are Joe Bostic, Jerry Butler, Bennie Cunningham, Jeff Davis, Steve Fuller, Terry Kinard, Michael Dean Perry, William Perry, and Anthony Simmons. All nine play-ers were All-Americans during at least one season at Clemson and played in the NFL.

Bowl History• Clemson’s appearance in the 2009 Music City Bowl

is its 32nd bowl game in history. Clemson’s 15-win total in those games is 18th-most in history.

• Clemson’s first bowl game was a 6-3 victory over Boston College and Frank Leahy in the 1940 Cotton Bowl. Leahy is still second in college football history in winning percentage.

• Clemson won five straight bowl games between the 1986 and 1990 seasons, tied for the seventh-longest winning streak in college football history in con-secutive seasons. Clemson defeated Stanford, Penn State, Oklahoma, West Virginia, and Illinois during the stretch.

• Clemson has defeated some of the top coaches in college football history in bowl competition. Among the list of celebrated head coaches who have lost to Clemson in bowl games since the ACC was founded are Joe Paterno (#1-winningest coach in Division I on a total-victories basis), Barry Switzer (#4-winningest Division I coach on a winning-percentage basis), and Tom Osborne (#5-winningest Division I coach on a winning-percentage basis). Hall of Fame Head Coach Woody Hayes suffered his final defeat against the Tigers in 1978 in the Gator Bowl. Overall, Clem-son has defeated nine head coaches in bowl games who are enshrined in the College Football Hall of Fame.

• The 2009 Music City Bowl will be Clemson’s 21st bowl appearance since 1985, a tangible representa-tion of the program’s consistency. That mark is tied for the ninth-most bowl appearances in the nation in the last 25 seasons. The Tigers have been to a bowl game 10 of the last 11 years and have been bowl-eligible 11 straight seasons.

Championship Tradition• The Tigers were named National Champions by

every service in 1981, as they were the only school in the nation with a perfect record (12-0). The year included three wins over top-10 teams (Georgia, Nebraska, North Carolina), the only team in college football to beat three top-10 teams in 1981. It was just the second national title for an ACC school.

• The 1981 team had five All-Americans on its roster, including first-team selections Jeff Davis, Terry Ki-nard, and Perry Tuttle. Thirty-one players on the 1981 squad were eventually drafted by the NFL and 22 players eventually played in the NFL. Twenty-

three different players on the 1981 roster were First-Team All-ACC selections at one time during their careers.

• Since the ACC was formed in 1953, Clemson has more overall wins (387) and ACC wins (233) than any other school.

• Clemson has won 13 ACC titles (12 outright and one tied), still the all-time ACC record.

• Clemson won its first ACC Atlantic Division title this year with a 6-2 league mark.

• Clemson won the Southern Conference title in 1940 and 1948 along with the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association in 1900 and 1902, giving the program 17 conference crowns.

Coaching Success• Clemson has a legendary history when it comes to

coaching. Three former Tiger mentors (John Heis-man, Frank Howard, Jess Neely) are already in the College Football Hall of Fame. Howard was Clem-son’s coach when the ACC was founded and prompt-ly took the Tigers to six ACC titles. No coach had more league titles than Howard during his 30-year tenure at Clemson. He concluded his career with 165 victories, and his 30-year tenure still is third-longest in NCAA history for a coach serving at one school.

• Danny Ford coached Clemson to the National Championship in 1981 and won six bowl games in his Clemson career, second on the all-time ACC coaching list. His 76-percent winning mark is also second-best in ACC history. He was the consensus national coach-of-the-year in 1981, and he remains the youngest coach (33) to win a national title.

• Tommy Bowden continued the tradition of outstand-ing Tiger coaches by leading the team to bowl games each of his first five years, the only coach in Clemson history to do that. He was ACC Coach-of-the-Year twice. In 2003, he became the second Tiger coach to defeat three top-25 teams in the same year and the second to record at least two top-10 wins in one year. He led Clemson to eight consecutive winning seasons, the longest streak by one coach in school history and coached the Tigers in eight bowl games, tied for third-most in ACC history.

• Dabo Swinney was named ACC Coach-of-the-Year by Sporting News in 2009 and is one of 10 finalists for the Liberty Mutual National Coach-of-the-Year award.

Conference Competitiveness• Clemson is a charter member of the Atlantic Coast

Conference. Year in and year out, the ACC is consid-ered among the best of the BCS conferences. The league is competitive with 12 teams, eight of whom went to a bowl game in 2006 and 2007. In 2008, a record 10 teams were selected for bowl games.

• Clemson has posted 10 straight winning seasons, a streak that dates to a 9-3 record in 2000. Clemson is one of just 14 schools nationally with a winning sea-son in every year of the 2000s.

• Clemson, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Maryland, and Miami (FL) are schools within the conference that have won a national title.

• An ACC player was the top defensive player of the NFL draft in 2006 and 2007. Mario Williams (N.C. State) was the top selection among defensive play-ers in 2006, while Clemson’s Gaines Adams was the first pick among defenders in 2007.

First-Round Draft Picks• Gaines Adams was the #4 overall pick of the 2007

NFL draft by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Adams tied for the highest draft pick by a Tiger in history and the highest since 1939, when Banks McFadden was the #4 overall pick of the NFL draft by the Brooklyn Dodgers. Adams’ selection tied for the third-highest pick in any sport in Tiger history.

• Clemson has had a top-32 selection in the NFL draft each of the last three years. Phillip Merling was the #32 overall pick in 2008 by the Miami Dolphins. Gaines Adams was the #4 overall pick of the NFL draft by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2007, and Tye Hill was the #15 overall pick of the Saint Louis Rams in 2006. Clemson was one of just three schools na-tionally to have a top-15 pick in both 2006 and 2007.

• Gaines Adams was the third first-round draft selec-tion under Tommy Bowden. The others were Rod Gardner (#15 in 2001 by the Redskins) and Tye Hill (#15 in 2006 by the Rams). All three earned their de-grees from Clemson. Adams graduated in December of 2006.

• Clemson had an ACC-record 10 players drafted in 1983.

• Clemson has had 198 players drafted over the years, including four players from the 2008 team. Clemson was also among the top-15 teams in the nation in drafted players in April of 2007 when it had six se-lected.

Hall of Fame• Former Clemson consensus All-American and 1981

National Championship team captain Jeff Davis was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2007. Davis is regarded as one of the great leaders of any team in Tiger athletics history. He had 175 tack-

les on the 1981 team, leading the Tigers to a perfect 12-0 record.

• Jeff Davis was the second member of Clemson’s National Championship team to be enshrined in the College Football Hall of Fame. Terry Kinard was inducted in 2001 in New York City. Both Davis and Kinard are also members of the Clemson Ring of Honor.

• Clemson had a special night in New York City on December 11, 2001. That evening, Terry Kinard was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame and Kyle Young was a recipient of a National Football Foundation Scholar-Athlete Award. Clemson was the only school in the nation with one of each in 2001.

• Terry Kinard was the first Tiger football player to win a national individual award. He was named 1982 national defensive player-of-the-year by CBS. That year (his senior season), he was a unanimous first-team All-American, the first unanimous All-American in Clemson football history. He was named to the ACC’s 50-Year Anniversary team in 2002, and he was also listed among the top-50 athletes in the history of the ACC, regardless of sport.

• Three former Clemson coaches are in the College Football Hall of Fame. The list includes John Heisman (1900-03), Jess Neely (1931-39), and Frank Howard (1940-69).

• Banks McFadden, Clemson’s greatest all-around ath-lete and an AP First-Team All-American in 1939, was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1959.

NFL Influence• Twenty-one former Tigers have combined to win 29

• Clemson has had an alum on a Super Bowl Champi-onship team six of the last 11 years. Clemson was one of six schools to have a representative on each of the four teams involved in the conference champi-onship games at the end of the 2005 season.

• Trevor Pryce, an All-ACC player at Clemson during the 1996 season, has won two Super Bowl Champi-onship rings and been a four-time Pro Bowl selec-tion. He became the highest-paid defensive lineman in NFL history in 2001. He was one of eight former Clemson defensive linemen on NFL rosters in 2006 and finished the season with 13.5 sacks, among the top-five totals in the NFL.

• Brian Dawkins is one of the stars of the NFL among defensive players. A 1996 Clemson graduate, Dawkins was an All-American on Clemson’s 1995 team when he finished the season 10th in the nation in interceptions. He became the first player in NFL history in 2002 to have a sack, interception, recov-ered fumble, and receiving touchdown in the same game. He has been named to the Pro Bowl seven times in the last 10 seasons, including the 2009 Pro Bowl. Dawkins has been named to the Pro Bowl more than any other former Tiger. He was named to the All-Decade team for the NFL by SI.com.

• Levon Kirkland, now an administrator in the admis-sions office at Clemson, was named to the NFL All-Decade team (1990s) for his play with the Steelers.

Poll Presence• The 2007 season marked the 23rd year that Clemson

was ranked in the final top 25 of the AP poll. It was the second time in the last three years that Clemson was ranked in the final top 25 of both polls. The Ti-gers’ highest ranking is #1, a mark achieved on No-vember 30, 1981 and in the final poll that season (January 4, 1982).

• Clemson once had a streak of 46 consecutive weeks ranked in the AP poll during the 1980s.

• Clemson finished in the top 20 of all the final polls from 1986-91, a six-year streak. The Tigers had ex-actly two losses in each of those six seasons.

• Clemson was ranked in the final top 20 of the AP poll six times in the 1980s. The Tigers were fifth in the nation in winning percentage during that decade.

• Beating ranked opponents has been a hallmark of Clemson’s success. The Tigers have beaten an AP-ranked opponent 20 of last 24 years, including 11 top-25 victories in the last seven years.

• Clemson has five top-10 wins in the last seven years, including a victory over #3 Florida State in 2003, the highest-ranked team the Tigers have beaten in his-tory. Clemson earned a victory at #9 Florida State in 2006, its first win in Tallahassee since 1989. Clemson won at #8 Miami (FL) this year, tied for the highest-ranked road win in school history.

Prominent Former Tigers• Dwight Clark was named NFL MVP in 1982. He was

the recipient of “The Catch” for the San Francisco 49ers against the Dallas Cowboys in the 1981 NFC Championship game.

• Charlie Waters was a three-time Pro Bowl selection with the Cowboys. He played on two Super Bowl Championship teams before going on to a college coaching career at Oregon.

• Charlie Waters and Jeff Bostic were both named to ESPN’s 40-Man Roster of Greatest Super Bowl play-ers, released prior to Super Bowl XL.

• The Perry brothers (William, Michael Dean) were starters on Clemson’s 1984 defense. Both were named to the ACC’s 50-Year Anniversary team in 2002. William played on Clemson’s 1981 National Championship team as a freshman, then on the Su-per Bowl Champion Bears of 1985. Michael Dean played in six Pro Bowls with Cleveland and Den-ver, second-most among former Tigers. Both were named ACC Player-of-the-Year in their careers, Wil-liam in 1984 and Michael Dean in 1987. They are the only brother combination in ACC history that can make that claim.

Facts on Clemson Football


Clemson has a rich bowl tradition. The Tigers have 15 bowl wins, 18th-most in NCAA history. Their first bowl game was in the 1940 Cotton Bowl when the Tigers defeated Frank Leahy (Boston College) 6-3. With its 2009 Gator Bowl berth, the Tigers have played in a bowl game 20 of the last 24 years. That is among the top-10 bowl appearances since 1985. Clemson has beaten some of the top programs in college football history in bowl games. The list of schools Clemson has beaten in a bowl game includes prominent programs Colorado, Miami (FL), Nebraska, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Penn State, Stanford, Tennessee, and West Virginia. Clemson won its first three bowl games, wins over Boston College, Missouri, and Miami (FL). The three coaches Clemson beat in those games were Frank Leahy, Don Faurot, and Andy Gustafson, and all three are in the College Football Hall of Fame. Clemson has a football program that has been steady over the years in bowl games, no matter who has been head coach. No less than six different head coaches (Jess Neely, Frank Howard, Danny Ford, Ken Hatfield, Tommy West, Tommy Bowden) have all won bowl games for the Tigers. Overall, nine of Clemson’s 15 bowl wins have come against coaches who are in the College Football Hall of Fame, including 2007 inductee Joe Paterno of Penn State. Clemson has four bowl wins over coaches who are in the 200-victory club. Woody Hayes of Ohio State, Tom Osborne of Nebraska, Paterno and Nehlen are all coaches with at least 200 wins who lost bowl games to Clemson. Clemson has bowl wins over some of the greatest coaches in college football history:• Frank Leahy, the second-winningest coach in college

football history on a winning-percentage basis, when Clemson defeated Boston College in the 1940 Cotton Bowl.

• Joe Paterno of Penn State, the winningest coach in Division I college football history on a total-wins basis, when Clemson defeated Penn State 35-10 in the 1988 Citrus Bowl. It is still the largest margin of defeat in a bowl game for Paterno, who is the winningest coach in college history in terms of victories in bowl games.

• Woody Hayes of Ohio State, the ninth-winningest coach in college football history (Division I) on a total-victories basis, when Clemson defeated the Buckeyes 17-15 in the 1978 Gator Bowl, Hayes’ last game as coach.

• Barry Switzer of Oklahoma, the fourth-winningest coach in Division I college football history on a winning-percentage basis, when Clemson defeated Oklahoma in 1989 Citrus Bowl, Switzer’s final game as a college coach.

• Tom Osborne of Nebraska, the seventh-winningest coach in college football (Division I) history on a total-wins basis, when Clemson beat the Cornhuskers in

the 1981 Orange Bowl, which gave Clemson its only national title.

• Don Nehlen of West Virginia, the 15th-winningest coach in Division I history when Clemson downed the Mountaineers 27-7 in the 1989 Gator Bowl.

Tigers to Play Kentucky in Music City Bowl Clemson will meet Kentucky in the 12th-annual Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowl on Sunday, December 27 at Nashville, TN. The game will be played at LP Field, home of the NFL’s Tennessee Titans at 8:32 PM EST. The Tigers and Wildcats met in the same bowl game in 2006, and the Wildcats came away with a 28-20 victory. This will be the third meeting between the two teams in a bowl game. The Tigers won the first contest by a score of 14-13 in the 1993 Peach Bowl. Overall, Kentucky has an 8-4 lead in the series that dates to 1925 when Kentucky won in Lexington by a score of 19-6. Clemson’s biggest win in the series might have been in 1981 when the Tigers were victori-ous 21-3 in Lexington. It was Clemson’s fourth straight win on the way to the national title that year. The Wildcats, who are 7-5 overall and 3-5 in the SEC, are making their fourth Bowl appearance in Nash-ville. Head Coach Rich Brooks’ team is led on offense by all-purpose performers Randall Cobb and Derrick Locke. Cobb, who plays wideout and quarterback, fin-ished the regular season second in the SEC in touch-downs, third in all-purpose yards per game, and third in punt return average. Locke leads the team in rush-ing and is second in the SEC in all-purpose yards. It has been a year of milestone victories for the Wildcats, as they won at Auburn for the first time since 1961 and at Georgia for the first time since 1977. Clemson won the ACC Atlantic Division title with a 6-2 conference mark, including wins over #8 Miami (FL) and Florida State for the first time in the same sea-son. The Tigers are 8-5 overall after suffering a 39-34 ACC Championship game loss to #12 Georgia Tech on December 5. It was Clemson’s third loss this year by five points or less to a team ranked in the current top 10 of the AP poll. The Tigers are led by C.J. Spiller, the ACC Player-of-the-Year. The senior had 20 carries for 233 yards and four touchdowns in the ACC title game. He was named the game’s MVP. It is believed to be the first time in any conference championship game that someone on the losing team was named MVP. Spiller is the only player in the FBS to score at least one touchdown in every game this year. The consen-sus first-team All-American enters the bowl season with 7,416 all-purpose yards in his career, third-most in NCAA history. He needs 349 yards to become the all-time NCAA leader. He has 50 touchdowns in his ca-reer, second only among active players behind the 56 accumulated by Florida quarterback Tim Tebow. Kyle Parker has guided the Tigers to eight wins this year as the starter, tied for the most among freshman quarterbacks nationally. He has set school freshman records for touchdown passes, yards, and comple-tions. His favorite target is Second-Team All-ACC wide receiver Jacoby Ford, who has 53 catches, while First-Team All-ACC tight end Michael Palmer has 41 catches, a Tiger record for a tight end. Clemson is led on defense by safety DeAndre Mc-Daniel, who is tied for second in the nation in intercep-tions (8). That is tied for the Clemson single-season record. Freshman Rashard Hall has six picks, among the top 15 figures in the nation as well. Defensive end Ricky Sapp is a Second-Team All-ACC player and is fourth in the ACC in tackles for loss (15). Clemson’s special teams are led by Spiller, who is fourth in the nation in all-purpose yards and fourth in kickoff return average. He established the NCAA

Last Meeting vs. Kentucky Andre’ Woodson passed for 299 yards and three touchdowns to lead Kentucky to a 28-20 victory over Clemson in the Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowl at LP Field in Nashville, TN on December 29. It was the Ti-gers’ first-ever appearance in the Music City Bowl. Kentucky held a 7-6 lead late in the second quarter until it scored on a 70-yard pass play after a fake punt in its own territory. Then the Wildcats took a 28-6 lead in the fourth quarter and held on for the win in front of a partisan Kentucky crowd. The Wildcats totaled 409 yards, including 309 pass-ing yards. Woodson was 20-28 and did not throw an interception. Rafael Little, a native of Anderson, SC, rushed for a game-high 54 yards on 17 carries. Clemson had 402 yards of offense, but commit-ted four turnovers that resulted in 14 points. James Davis rushed for 53 yards on eight carries, as Clemson totaled 130 yards on the ground on 25 carries. Will Proctor was 23-39 for 272 yards and three touchdowns. Aaron Kelly had a game-high six recep-tions for 66 yards and a touchdown, Chansi Stuckey caught five balls for 93 yards, and Tyler Grisham added five catches for 49 yards and a touchdown. Kentucky took the opening drive 62 yards in 12 plays to take a 7-0 lead. Woodson connected with Jacob Tamme for 21 yards on third-and-17 to move the ball into Tiger territory. Little later carried for nine yards to the Tiger one. Two plays later, Micah Johnson scored on a one-yard plunge. Clemson responded with a long drive, but came away with no points. Proctor found Stuckey over the middle for 36 yards, as Roger Williams made a touch-down-saving tackle. Davis later rushed for 21 yards, but Clemson netted just two yards on the next three plays. Then, Jad Dean missed a 38-yard field-goal at-tempt wide-right. After a short punt, Clemson took over on its next drive in Wildcat territory. Proctor hit Kelly for 20 yards, then Spiller rushed for 19 yards combined on the next two plays. But the drive stalled again. For the first and only time in his 29 career field-goal attempts under 30 yards, Dean missed from 28 yards, leaving the Wildcats ahead 7-0. Clemson got the ball back after Gaines Adams tied the school record with his 28th career sack. But on the first play of the drive, Davis fumbled in Wildcat terri-tory. Grisham gave the ball back to the Tigers in Wild-cat territory when he blocked a punt, the first and only blocked kick or punt by Clemson in 2006. Two plays after a 15-yard reverse by Jacoby Ford, Proctor found Durrell Barry open over the middle for a 32-yard

record for career kickoff returns for touchdowns (7), including four this year, tied for most in the nation. He has as many kickoff returns for touchdowns as the other 11 ACC teams combined. Richard Jackson is the only player in the nation to make six field goals in one game this year.

Clemson vs. Kentucky Series Kentucky holds an 8-4 advantage in the series with Clemson. This will be the third bowl game between the two teams. Clemson won the 1993 Peach Bowl in Atlanta, GA by a score of 14-13, while Kentucky won the 2006 Music City Bowl in Nashville by a score of 28-20. The last meeting in the regular season took place in 1985, when Kentucky won in Lexington 26-7. The first meeting took place in 1925, as the Wild-cats won in Lexington 19-6. The first six games of the series were played in Lexington and Kentucky won five of the six. The greatest upset in the series took place in 1929, when Kentucky defeated a 6-0 Tiger squad by a score of 44-6 in Lexington. The two teams played in the 1971 season-opener at Clemson. Kentucky won that game 13-10 after Doug Kotar took the opening kickoff of the season 98 yards for a score. The only other time that has hap-pened in a Clemson season took place this year when C.J. Spiller sprinted 96 yards for a touchdown on the opening kickoff of the year against Middle Tennessee. Clemson defeated Kentucky in 1982 at Clemson by a score of 24-6 and in 1981, Clemson’s National Cham-pionship season, by a 21-3 score. Cliff Austin scored three touchdowns and rushed for 116 yards to pace the offense to the 1982 win. Mike Eppley made his first career start and completed 9-13 passes for 95 yards. Kentucky stymied the Tiger offense during the first half in 1981 and led 3-0 at halftime. But the Ti-gers stormed back for 21 second-half points behind touchdowns by Kevin Mack, Homer Jordan, and Chuck McSwain. Clemson held Kentucky to 97 second-half yards. The Tigers improved their record to 4-0 with the win and moved into the top 10 in the polls for the first time since 1959. In the 1985 game, Clemson committed seven turn-overs, four fumbles and three interceptions. It tied as the most turnovers by a Danny Ford coached Tiger team in his 11 years as head coach. The Tigers gained just 230 yards of offense that October night in Lexing-ton, while Kentucky had 309 yards. Reserve quarter-back Kevin Dooley hit 15-23 passes for 142 yards and a touchdown to pace the Wildcat offense, while Joe Worley made four field goals. Brian Williams returned a punt 57 yards for a score for Kentucky as well. Ray Williams provided the only spark for Clemson on offense with a 25-yard run for a third-quarter score. Randy Anderson and Rodney Williams, Clemson’s young quarterbacks, hit just 10-24 passes for 92 yards. Clemson dropped to 1-3 with the loss and Ford moved Williams, a freshman, into the starting lineup the next week against Virginia. Williams went on to win 32 games as a starting quarterback, most in Tiger history.


Bowl Notestouchdown reception, the first of Barry’s career. Head Coach Tommy Bowden elected to send out walk-on John Early for the extra point, who was making his first-ever appearance as a Tiger. His kicked was wide-left, keeping Kentucky ahead 7-6. The two teams traded turnovers in Kentucky terri-tory during the game’s next four possessions, as Clem-son wasted opportunities to take the lead. As Clemson was in the process of holding Ken-tucky’s offense under 10 yards for the sixth straight drive, the Wildcats gambled with a fake punt. Punter Tim Masthay completed a 10-yard pass on fourth-and-four from the Kentucky 20. On the next play, the Tiger defense bit on the run and Woodson lofted a 70-yard touchdown pass to DeMoreo Ford. On Kentucky’s next drive, Woodson completed a 51-yard pass to Steve Johnson on third-and-10. But Clemson escaped further damage when Lones Seiber just missed wide-right on a 36-yard field-goal attempt on the last play of the second quarter. Clemson started the third quarter with a promis-ing drive into Kentucky territory, but Wesley Woodyard forced a Proctor fumble, and Paul Warford recovered. Kentucky took a 21-6 lead on a 24-yard throwback pass from Woodson to Dicky Lyons, culminating the six-play, 67-yard drive. Early in the fourth quarter, Little returned a punt 46 yards to the Tiger 28. Four plays later, Woodson scrambled and found Tamme open for a 13-yard touchdown pass, giving the Wildcats a 28-6 lead. Clemson responded with a 78-yard drive to cut into the Wildcat lead. Pass plays of 19 yards to Grisham and 19 yards to Stuckey helped set up a first-and-goal. Facing fourth down from the 17, Grisham hauled in a touchdown pass from Proctor in the back of the en-dzone. The two-point try failed, leaving Kentucky up 28-12 with 7:25 remaining. Clemson took over on downs with 3:17 left and drove 74 yards on eight plays. Stuckey’s 28-yard catch moved the ball into Wildcat territory. Proctor then lofted a pass to Kelly, and the 6’5” wideout came down with the touchdown catch. Proctor connected with Michael Palmer on the two-point play, cutting Ken-tucky’s lead to 28-20 with 44 seconds left. Early’s on-side kick rolled free in Wildcat territory, but Kentucky recovered and ran out the clock for the victory. Michael Hamlin had a team-high 15 tackles. Dorell Scott added nine stops and a sack, and Nick Watkins had eight tackles. Adams totaled six tackles and two sacks in his last collegiate game as well.

14 Current Tigers Faced Kentucky in 2006 Fourteen current Tigers saw action against Ken-tucky in the 2006 Music City Bowl. The list includes Durrell Barry (TE), Chris Chancellor (CB), and Michael Palmer (TE) who all started. The other 11 players on the current roster who played in that game are Kevin Alexander, Thomas Austin, Crezdon Butler, Jeremy Campbell, Sadat Chambers, Kavell Conner, Jacoby Ford, Cory Lambert, Ricky Sapp, C.J. Spiller, and Ren-drick Taylor. Barry caught a 32-yard touchdown pass in that game, one of just two touchdown catches in his career. Ford had one catch for eight yards and a carry for 15 yards. Palmer had one catch for two yards along with a two-point conversion catch. Spiller had five carries for 24 yards and three kickoff returns for 48 yards. Chan-

cellor had three tackles, while Conner and Sapp had one tackle apiece.

1993 Peach Bowl Meeting A tandem of running backs who hailed from Pen-sacola, FL led the Clemson rushing attack in the 14-13 victory over Kentucky in the 1993 Peach Bowl. Start-ing tailback Rodney Blunt rushed for a season-high 58 yards on 15 carries to lead the team. But it was fresh-man Emory Smith who was named the Tigers’ Offen-sive MVP, as he rushed for 45 yards from his fullback position, including a two-yard touchdown run. After taking over at its own two, quarterback Dex-ter McCleon engineered a 98-yard scoring drive that culminated in a one-yard run by Smith. The Wildcats drove back down the field on their next possession, this time reaching the Clemson one again, where they decided to go for it on fourth down. The Tiger defense held once again, as defensive tackle Brentson Buckner stopped the ballcarrier for no gain. Buckner was named Defensive MVP after tallying 12 tackles, including three tackles for loss. The Tigers were forced to punt after taking over at the one and Kentucky got on the scoreboard with a 17-yard field goal by Nicky Nickles. The score heading into the half stood at 7-3. Neither squad scored in the third quarter, but barely into the fourth quarter, Kentucky took the lead. After an interception, the Wildcats upped their lead to 13-7 on a 43-yard scoring drive, culminating in anoth-er field goal. With time running down in the fourth quarter, quarterback Patrick Sapp came off the bench. The two teams exchanged punts before the Tigers got the ball at their own 18 with 3:50 left. On the first play of the drive, Sapp threw a screen pass to Smith, who rambled 57 yards. With under a minute left, Kentucky linebacker Marty Moore intercepted Sapp’s pass. But on the return, Stacy Seegars jarred the ball loose and Brent LeJeune recovered for Clemson. With 20 seconds left, Sapp connected with Terry Smith on a 21-yard touch-down pass and Nelson Welch kicked the PAT for the win. Terry Smith finished with four receptions for 56 yards and that final touchdown of his career.

Tigers in Nashville for Second Time Since 1960 This will be Clemson’s second appearance in Nash-ville since the 1960 season. The Tigers have played five games at Vanderbilt over the years (1905,08,58,60,06). Clemson’s only win in Nashville came in 1958, an excit-ing 12-7 victory. Harvey White scored the game-win-ning touchdown with just three seconds left. It is still the latest game-winning touchdown in Tiger history in a game decided in regulation. Clemson’s last trip to Nashville was in 2006, when Kentucky defeated the Tigers 28-20.

Tigers Won Atlantic Division for the First Time Clemson clinched the Atlantic Division title on No-vember 21 with a 34-21 win over Virginia at Memorial Stadium. It gave the Tigers a 6-2 league mark. Clem-son finished a game ahead of Boston College in the division standings. The 6-2 record is the best for the Tigers in the ACC since 2003, when Clemson was also 6-2. The Tigers were also 6-2 in 2000. This is the first time Clemson has won the Atlantic Division. The division format began in 2005. In each of the first four years of the format, Clemson finished a game out of first place. From 2005-07, if Clemson had beaten Boston College, Clemson would have gone to the ACC title game each time.

Tigers Have Winning Record Every Year This Decade Clemson clinched its 10th-straight winning season with the victory over Virginia on November 21. The Ti-gers have had a winning season every year since 2000. Clemson’s last non-winning season was in 1999, when the Tigers were 6-6 in Tommy Bowden’s first year, but did play in the Peach Bowl. Entering 2009, 14 schools had posted a winning season in every year in the first decade of the 21st cen-tury. In addition to Clemson, those schools are Boise State, Boston College, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Louisiana State, Ohio State, Oklahoma,


Bowl NotesSouthern Mississippi, Texas, Texas Tech, and Virginia Tech. All of the above schools have clinched a winning season with the exception of Florida State, who is 6-6 entering the bowl season.

Clemson Looks for Top-25 Mark in Scoring O&D Clemson is 24th in the nation in scoring offense and 26th in scoring defense. Clemson has averaged 31.9 points per game (24th in the nation) and has giv-en up 21.0 points per game (26th in the nation). That is a scoring margin of 11.9 points per game. The Tigers have a chance to finish in the top 25 in both scoring offense and scoring defense. Clemson has finished the season with a top-25 stat ranking in scoring offense and scoring defense in the same sea-son just five previous years, including as recently as 2006. The first team to do it was the 1978 club, who finished fifth in both categories. Clemson outscored the opposition by an average of 21.4 points per game that year when the Tigers finished with an 11-1 record and a #6 final ranking.

Tigers Won Six Straight Prior to USC Game Clemson won six consecutive games between Oc-tober 17 and November 21 to reach the ACC Champi-onship game. It was the longest winning streak for the program in the short tenure of Dabo Swinney and the longest streak overall since the Tigers won six in a row in 2006. South Carolina ended the streak in Columbia on November 28 with a 34-17 win over the Tigers. A big improvement on offense had a lot to do with Clemson’s winning streak. The Tigers scored at least 34 points in six straight games, and that was a first for the program’s long history. Over the six games, Clemson averaged 40.7 points per game, 416 yards per game, 6.67 yards per play, and 223 passing yards per game. Clemson saw its rushing average improve from 135.2 yards per game over the first five games to 193.2 yards per game during the six-game winning streak. The biggest improvement from a national rank-ing standpoint was in scoring offense. On October 15, Clemson was 83rd in the nation in scoring at 24 points per game. A month later, Clemson was 19th in the nation at 33.1 points per game. Clemson enters the Music City Bowl 24th.

Landmark Performance by Tiger Defense vs. BC Clemson had one of its top defensive performanc-es in the 25-7 victory over Boston College on Septem-ber 19. Here is a rundown of what the defense accom-plished.• Held Boston College to just 54 yards of total offense.

That was the fewest yards allowed by the Clemson defense since the Tigers gave up just 41 yards against Virginia in 1963. The 54 yards recorded by Boston College were the sixth-fewest by a Tiger opponent in school history, including the second-fewest by an ACC team.

• The Eagles gained just 29 rushing yards and 25 pass-ing yards in their 49 plays, an average of 1.1 yards per play, the best performance by the Clemson defense in terms of yards per play allowed since Virginia Tech averaged just 1.09 yards per play in 1987.

• Clemson held Boston College to just four first downs, the fewest by a Clemson opponent since Furman had just three against the Tigers in 1989. It was the fewest by a Division I team against Clemson since 1965, when Texas Christian had just two.

• Boston College completed just 23.8 percent (5-21) of its passes. It was the lowest completion percentage by a Tiger opponent since 1977, when Virginia com-pleted just 1-9 passes for 11.1 percent.

• Clemson held Boston College to 1-12 on third down and forced 13 three-and-outs. There were nine punts and four turnovers on the 13 three-and-outs.

Tigers Beat Hurricanes and Seminoles With the 40-24 win over Florida State on Novem-ber 7, this year’s team became the first in school his-tory to beat both Florida State and Miami (FL) in the same year. Clemson had beaten both teams before, including recent years, but never in the same year.

Entering this year, Clemson had a combined record of 8-21 against those two programs over the years, so that is a significant accomplishment. Clemson defeated #8 Miami on October 24 in Mi-ami Gardens by a score of 40-37 in overtime. This was an especially gratifying accomplishment for Clemson’s 16 players from the state of Florida. That list includes six starters. The list includes C.J. Spiller of Lake Butler, Clemson’s top rusher, and Jacoby Ford of Royal Palm Beach, Clemson’s top receiver, Jacksonville quarterback Kyle Parker, Clemson’s top passer, and De-Andre McDaniel, Clemson’s interception leader. Mc-Daniel is from Tallahassee.

Tiger Highlights of Miami Victory Clemson gained a 40-37 victory over #8 Miami (FL) at Land Shark Stadium on October 24. It has to be con-sidered one of Clemson’s greatest victories in history. Here are some reasons why.• Defeated a Miami team that was ranked #8 in the AP

poll, ninth by USA Today, and #10 by the BCS enter-ing the game. It tied for the highest-ranked team Clemson has beaten in a road game. Clemson de-feated an #8-ranked North Carolina team in Chapel Hill in 1981 by a score of 10-8.

• Clemson defeated a Miami team that had already beaten top-20 teams Florida State, Georgia Tech, and Oklahoma earlier in the season.

• It was Clemson’s first overtime win since beating #10 Miami in the Orange Bowl 24-17 in 2004.

• Clemson came from behind on seven different occa-sions during the game, including overtime, to gain victory. Jacoby Ford scored the game-winner on a 26-yard touchdown catch on Clemson’s overtime possession to win the game.

• It was the sixth win over a top-10 team on the road this year for an FBS team. In addition to Clemson’s win at #8 Miami, Southern California won at #7 Ohio State, Iowa won at #4 Penn State, Houston won at #5 Oklahoma State, Florida State won at #7 Brigham Young, and Florida won at #4 Louisiana State.

• Miami finished the regular season 9-3 and in the top 20 in the nation.

Ranked Wins on the Road Clemson gained victory over an #8-ranked Mi-ami (FL) team on October 24. It was Clemson’s 59th all-time win over a top-25 team, the 20th over a team on an opponent’s home field. It tied for the highest-ranked team Clemson has defeated on the road. The other time was at #8 North Carolina in 1981 by a score of 10-8. To document such road wins over ranked teams, Clemson has constructed a Graveyard at the entrance to the practice field, and a tombstone has been erect-ed for each victory over a ranked team on the road. Three of the 20 road wins over ranked teams have now taken place in Miami. Clemson defeated the Hur-ricanes 15-14 in the 1951 Orange Bowl and downed the Hurricanes when they were #10 in the USA Today poll in 2004. Clemson’s highest-ranked win regardless of site is a win over #3 Florida State at Memorial Stadium in 2003. The win over Miami was the highest-ranked team Clemson has defeated since the Tigers defeated #6 Tennessee in the 2003 Peach Bowl.

Tigers Earn Comeback Win Over Seminoles Clemson outscored Florida State 19-0 in the fourth quarter to gain a 40-24 win over Florida State on No-vember 7. It was the biggest comeback to gain vic-tory for the Tigers since overcoming a 14-point defi-cit against Wake Forest in 2006. The 19 points in the fourth quarter were the most fourth-quarter points for the Tigers since they scored 24 in the fourth quarter in that same Wake Forest game in 2006, a contest the Ti-gers won 27-17. The Demon Deacons went on to win the ACC Championship that year.

Tigers Outstanding vs. Top ACC Passers Clemson has faced some top quarterbacks this year. The list includes four of the top five in the ACC in passing efficiency. The only one Clemson has not faced among the top five is Virginia Tech’s Tyrod Taylor, who is first. Jacory Harris of Miami (FL), Christian Ponder of Florida State, Russell Wilson of N.C. State, and Riley Skinner of Wake Forest had a combined 5/10 touch-down/interception ratio against Clemson this year and a combined passing efficiency of 106.3. Their passing efficiency overall for the year is a combined 147.0.

Tigers Have Productive Offense Clemson has made a lot of progress on offense this year. After struggling at times in the first five games, the Tigers have scored at least 34 points in seven of the last eight games. In terms of many categories, it is among the top offenses in school history.

• Third in total touchdowns (51)• Fourth in points (415)• Fifth in yards per play (5.66)• Fifth in points per game (31.9)• Eighth in yards per carry (4.8)• Eighth in completions (212)• Ninth in passing yards (2,547)• Ninth in passing yards per game (196)

Clemson Rushing Game Improved Over 2008 One of the areas Clemson has improved is the running game. The Tigers are averaging nearly 170 yards per game, up from 111.5 yards per game last year. Clemson was 10th in the ACC in rushing last year and stands third this year. Clemson is also improved in yards per carry from 3.4 to 4.8. Clemson had 241 rushing yards in the win over Florida State, helping to a balanced attack of 483 yards of total offense. The Tigers followed that with 254 rushing yards against N.C. State. Clemson had three straight games with at least 240 rushing yards, the first time that has happened since 2000. The best game of the year came in the ACC Championship game when the Tigers had 323 rushing yards.

Clemson Throwing to the Tight End Clemson has been throwing to the tight end this year. When Clemson beat #8 Miami (FL), tight ends accounted for nine receptions, the most in a game by players at that position since 1970, when Tiger tight ends also had nine in a game against Florida State. This year against Florida State, three different tight ends caught four passes, including two for touch-downs. Tight ends caught nine more passes at South Carolina. In 2009, Clemson tight ends have caught 58 passes for 612 yards and eight touchdowns. Those are school records for the tight-end position in all three areas.

Clemson Pass Defense in Top 20 Again Clemson has had an outstanding pass defense in 2009. Clemson held both Georgia Tech (in the regu-lar-season meeting) and Boston College to under 30 percent in consecutive games on September 10 and September 19. In the 31 years prior to this season, Clemson had done that just eight times. The Tigers held Wake Forest to a pass efficiency rating of 62.1. Clemson is 24th in the nation in pass efficiency defense this year and 11th in pass defense (yards al-lowed). Tiger opponents have completed just 50.7 percent of its passes.

Clemson Has Veteran Secondary Clemson has a veteran secondary. The four start-ers have all played at least 39 games and have made a combined 117 career starts. That includes corner-backs Chris Chancellor (43 starts) and Crezdon Butler (39 starts). They have started together in every game the last three years (39 consecutive games). They are one-two in Clemson history in starts by Clemson cor-nerbacks. Clemson’s secondary has a combined 182 games played, 117 starts, and 31 interceptions. DeAndre McDaniel, a junior and second-team All-American this year, has eight interceptions in 2009 and 11 in his career. Butler has 11 interceptions and 13 takeaways, while Chancellor has nine career interceptions. Not included in the chart below is freshman Rashard Hall, who comes off the bench at safety or in nickel situa-tions. He has six interceptions this year, 13th-most in the nation.

Tigers Have Played Difficult Schedule Clemson has played a difficult schedule this sea-son. The combined record of the three non-ACC teams at the FBS level are 28-8 this year. Clemson played Middle Tennessee (9-3), Texas Christian (12-0), and South Carolina (7-5) outside the ACC, and all three are in bowl games. Of course the Horned Frogs are in a BCS bowl game. The Tigers have played four games against teams ranked in the top 15 in the nation. That includes Texas Christian, Miami (FL), and two games against Georgia Tech. This is just the second time in history that Clem-


Bowl Notesson has faced four games against top-15 teams in the same year. The 1999 season was the other. Clemson is one of four schools at the FBS level to play four games against top-15 teams this year. The others are Oregon, Georgia, and South Carolina. Clem-son was 1-3 in those games against top-15 teams. The three losses were by a combined 12 points, a three-point loss to Georgia Tech (30-27), a four-point loss to Texas Christian (14-10), and a five-point loss to Georgia Tech in the ACC Championship game (39-34). Clemson’s schedule is rated the 12th-most dif-ficult in the nation by the NCAA in terms of overall opponent winning percentage of the FBS opponents. Clemson’s 12 games against FBS opponents have a combined record of 88-58.

Clemson Has Four Two-Sport Athletes Clemson has four two-sports athletes on its foot-ball roster, including two who have been All-American and three All-ACC in their other sport. Starting quar-terback Kyle Parker is a starting outfielder and DH on the baseball team, while Jacoby Ford and C.J. Spiller are sprinters on the track & field squad. Spencer Ad-ams, a reserve safety, is slated to join the track & field team this spring. Parker was a starter for the baseball team in 2008 and 2009. He has 26 career home runs and was a First-Team All-ACC selection in 2008 as a DH. He reached 25 career home runs in just 103 games, the fastest to 25 home runs in Clemson history. Ford was the NCAA champion in the 60m indoors last March at Fayetteville, AR with a time of 6.52. His career best in that event is 6.51. His career best in the 100m is 10.01, a time he ran in the prelims of the NCAA outdoor meet last year. He pulled up with a hamstring injury in the finals of the 100m last June and finished ninth, but he was still an All-American. Ford won 18 straight races in the 60m and 100m last year. Spiller ran the second leg of Clemson’s 4x100m relay last spring that finished third in the nation. That gave him All-America honors in track. He has a per-sonal best of 10.22 in the 100m and 20.91 in the 200m. He earned All-America honors during the indoor sea-son in the winter of 2008 in the 60m when he was the eighth-best American at the meet. He also earned All-America honors in track in the spring of 2007 as a member of the 4x100m relay team. Adams red-shirted both track and football last year after he suffered a torn ACL. He won the national championship in the 110m hurdles and the 400m hur-dles at the Nike Outdoor Nationals in June of 2008. He is a reserve safety on the depth chart.

18 Former Tigers on NFL Rosters Eighteen former Tigers, led by seven-time Pro Bowler Brian Dawkins, are on NFL rosters this year. The list includes five members of the 2008 team who are playing their rookie seasons in the NFL. Dawkins was recently named to the NFL All-De-cade team by Peter King of SI.com. The list of newcomers to the league includes James Davis (Browns), Michael Hamlin (Cowboys), Chris Clemons (Dolphins), Dorell Scott (Rams), and Ty-ler Grisham (Steelers). Davis suffered a shoulder injury early in the season and is out for the year. Grisham was named to the Steelers’ active roster in December. Davis finished his Clemson career second in rush-ing yards and first in rushing touchdowns. He had an

81-yard touchdown run during the preseason for the Browns and led the team in rushing. Hamlin finished his Tiger career second in career takeaways (18), while Clemons was among the top tacklers from the second-ary in school history. The veterans on NFL rosters from Clemson include four-time Pro Bowl selection and two-time Super Bowl Champion Trevor Pryce, who is in his 13th season in the NFL. Dawkins is now with the Denver Broncos af-ter 13 years with the Philadelphia Eagles. He has been named to the Pro Bowl seven times, fourth among safeties in NFL history. Other prominent former Tigers in the NFL include Gaines Adams (Bears), Chansi Stuckey (Browns), Leroy Hill (Seahawks), and Nick Eason of the World Cham-pion Steelers. The Dolphins (Merling, Clemons) and the Steelers (Eason, Grisham) are the only two teams with more than one Tiger on it. Justin Miller, a Pro Bowl kick re-turner a few years ago, was picked up by the Jets in late October.

Eight Original Walk-ons on Scholarship Clemson has eight original walk-ons on scholar-ship for the 2009 season. Three scholarship players came off the active roster during the summer, leading to the opportunity for three more walk-ons. Jamal Medlin and Stanley Hunter became student coaches after they had to give up playing football due to injury or medical condition, while Barry Humphries trans-ferred to another school. The list of walk-ons now on scholarship includes Terrance Ashe, a first-team wideout, and Phillip Price, a second-team offensive tackle. Kantrell Brown is a reserve safety who lettered on special teams last year, while Ben Ramsey lettered each of the last two years as a reserve center. Clemson has had some walk-ons who have gone on to be very successful as scholarship players. Rob Bodine, who went on to earn first-team All-America honors on Clemson’s 1991 ACC Championship team as a defensive tackle, was inducted into the Clemson Hall of Fame this year. He had 27 tackles for loss that year to lead the nation.

Clemson Staff Has Experience Clemson has an experienced staff. The 10 coaches have a combined 150 years of coaching experience at the Division I level as a full-time assistant coach. Those coaches have been to a combined 114 bowl games and have won a combined 17 conference titles. Four of the coaches have been on a staff that won a national title. Kevin Steele was on a national cham-pionship staff at Nebraska, Dan Brooks at Tennessee, Danny Pearman at Alabama, and Brad Scott at Florida State. That list of national championship coaches does not include Dabo Swinney, who played on a national championship team at Alabama, and associate athletic director Woody McCorvey, who was on the national championship staff at Alabama in 1992.

Tigers Have Father & Son Coaching Combination Clemson has a father-and-son assistant coaching combination for the first time in its history. Brad Scott is Clemson’s offensive guards and centers coach and associate head coach. His son Jeff is Clemson’s wide receivers coach. Brad has been an assistant coach at Clemson since 1999 and has the longest tenure among active Clemson coaches. He first came to Clemson in Tommy Bowden’s first year. His son Jeff also came to Clemson in 1999 and was a member of Tiger teams from 2000-02 as a wide receiver and holder. Jeff joined the staff as a graduate assistant coach last year, and on October 13, he moved to full-time sta-tus as wide receivers coach when Bowden resigned on that day. Clemson is the only school in the ACC with a fa-ther-and-son coaching combination on its staff, but not the only school in the state. South Carolina Head Coach Steve Spurrier and his son Steve, Jr. (wide re-ceivers) are on the same staff at South Carolina. Nationally, there are 12 father-and-son full-time coaching combinations on the same staff out of the 120 FBS teams. Eight of the 12 involve the father as the head coach and a son under him on the staff. At Tennessee, Monte Kiffin is the father and defensive co-ordinator, and son Lane is the head coach.

Three First-Year Freshmen Saw Action in Opener Clemson has a small freshman class this season with just 12 signees. Malliciah Goodman and Jona-than Meeks are on the three-deep and played on de-fense in the opener. Freshman Corico Hawkins also saw action. Clemson had eight first-year freshmen play last year, including six who appeared in the first game of the year against Alabama. In the last 27 years, Clemson has played 162 first-year freshmen, an average of 5.8 per year. Sixty-six of them have been offensive players, 91 have been de-fensive players, and five have been kickers. The record for first-year freshmen playing in one season is 11 (1985,07). The most wins for a team that has played at least eight first-year freshmen is 10, set in 1989, a team that played eight first-year freshmen during its 10-2 season. The Tigers have played at least one first-year fresh-man during all 26 years of the rule. The fewest was the one used in 2002 (Justin Miller).

Clemson Feature Ideas• Clemson has had 11 different players wear the #17

jersey in honor of Stanley Hunter. Hunter is still on campus as a student coach, but he had to give up the game due to repeated problems with epilepsy. Brandon Maye wore the number for the first game

and was Clemson’s top tackler with 14 along with his first career interception.

• National Championship tradition - Clemson has four players on its roster who are sons of men who played on Clemson’s 1981 National Championship team. Those players are Chris Richardson, Michael Wade, Landon Walker, and Ronald Watson.

• Bamberg Bookends - Starting defensive ends Ricky Sapp and Da’Quan Bowers are both from the same high school, Bamberg-Ehrhardt High in Bamberg, SC. Sapp was a First-Team USA Today All-American out of high school and Bowers was the top-rated player in the nation regardless of position by ESPN. Both made the academic honor roll for the spring semes-ter.

• Brad Scott and Jeff Scott are the first father-and-son coaching combination in Clemson football his-tory.

• All-ACC offensive guard Thomas Austin is the only married player on the team.

• Da’Quan Bowers spends most of his free time on weekends in the offseason playing guitar in his fa-ther’s gospel band, “The Legendary Singing Stars.”

• Brandon and Byron Clear are twin bothers. Bran-don was prominent in the MTV series “Two-a-Days” when they were in high school.

• Scotty Cooper spent 18 days in Ghana in May as part of The Fluid Campus program. It was part of a Clem-son course. He was the only student-athlete to make the trip.

• Jacoby Ford and C.J. Spiller are the fastest duo in college football. Both are All-Americans in track. Ford won the national tile in the 60m indoors this past March. Ford’s career best in the 100m is 10.01, while Spiller’s best is 10.22.

• Malliciah Goodman has the largest hands on the team. He may even have the largest hands in all of college football. The defensive end stands 6’4”, but he has a seven-foot wingspan. His hands measure 11” from fingertip to fingertip. His hands were fea-tured in an ESPN The Magazine pictorial on athlete body parts.

• Billy Napier is the youngest coordinator in the ACC by seven years. He just turned 30 and serves as Clemson’s offensive coordinator. He is the youngest coordinator in school history.

• Kyle Parker is a two-sport athlete at Clemson. He has already started for two seasons on the baseball team and has 26 career home runs. He was a First-Team All-ACC selection in 2008 when he should have been a senior in high school.

• Kyle Parker’s mother Cathy raised $800,000 for an artificial surface football field for Barrow (AK) High School. The school could not grow grass due to its geography. The Parkers live in Jacksonville, FL, but she saw a feature on the school’s problems on ESPN and started a fundraising project over the internet. The school named the new facility Cathy Parker Field in her honor.

Milestones in Range & Streaks• Clemson needs to score just 16 points to establish a

school record for points in a season. The Tigers have 415 so far. The team needs five touchdowns to set the school mark for touchdowns in a season. The Ti-gers have 51 so far.

• Clemson has seven returns for touchdowns this year, tied for the single-season record with the 1990

team. Another return for a touchdown will establish a school record for one season.

• Thomas Austin has started 37 straight games on the offensive line.

• Da’Quan Bowers needs one tackle to reach 100 for his career.

• Crezdon Butler needs 33 interception return yards to become Clemson’s career leader.

• Sunday will mark Chris Chancellor’s 42nd consecu-tive start at cornerback. It will be Crezdon Butler’s 40th consecutive start at the opposite cornerback.

• Kavell Conner needs two tackles to reach 300 for his career.

• Jacoby Ford has caught at least one pass in 28 con-secutive games that he has played. He needs 58 re-ceiving yards to reach 2,000 for his career. He needs eight rushing yards to reach 500 for his career and 21 punt return yards to reach 500.

• Brandon Maye needs 10 tackles to reach 200 for his career.

• DeAndre McDaniel needs one interception to estab-lish the Clemson season record for interceptions. He has eight and is the co-holder of the record. He also needs three tackles to reach 200 for his career.

• Kyle Parker needs 115 passing yards to reach 2,500 in his first season.

• C.J. Spiller needs one punt or kickoff return for a touchdown to establish the NCAA career record for kick returns for touchdowns. He has seven kickoff returns for score (already the NCAA record) and one punt return for a total of eight. He has tied a record held by many.

• C.J. Spiller needs 349 all-purpose yards to establish the NCAA mark for career all-purpose yards. He has 7,416 and the record is 7,764 by Brandon West of Western Michigan, a senior this year.

• C.J. Spiller needs one touchdown to establish the Clemson career record and three to establish the ACC record. Travis Zachery and Spiller have the school record with 50 apiece, while the ACC record is 52 by Wali Lundy of Virginia.

• C.J. Spiller needs one touchdown to set the Clemson record for consecutive games with a touchdown. He has scored a touchdown in every game this year, the only player in the nation to do that, for a 13-game streak. Spiller and Travis Zachery hold the Clemson mark with 13 in a row. Zachery did his over two sea-sons (2000-01).

• C.J. Spiller needs 55 receiving yards to become the first player in ACC history to reach 1,000 rushing yards and 500 receiving yards in the same season. He has 1,145 rushing yards and 445 receiving yards.

Many Happy Returns Clemson had a kickoff return for a touchdown and a punt return for a score in the opener against Middle Tennessee. That was the first time since 1987 and just the second time in history that Clemson has scored on a kickoff return and a punt return in one game. C.J. Spiller took the opening kickoff and raced 96 yards for a touchdown just 14 seconds into the season. It was the first time Clemson has opened a season with a kickoff return for a touchdown. (It happened against Clemson in 1971 when Doug Kotar of Kentucky re-turned the opening kickoff 98 yards for a score in a 13-10 Wildcat win.) Jacoby Ford later returned a punt 61 yards for a score to give Clemson a 20-7 lead in the second quarter.


Bowl Notes The only other time this has happened in Clem-son history took place in 1987 against Georgia Tech in a game at Clemson. That year Donnell Woolford re-turned a punt 78 yards for a score and Joe Henderson returned a kickoff 95 yards for a score. Clemson had not returned a punt for a score in 17 years and had not returned a kickoff for a score in 25 years, then did both in the same game.

Top Accomplishments of the 2009 Senior Class• Led Clemson to first ACC Atlantic Division title in

2009 with a 6-2 league record.• First Tiger team to beat Florida State and Miami (FL)

in the same year. This class finished with a 3-1 record against Florida State, tying for the most wins by a class against the Seminoles.

• Gained two road wins over top-10 teams, a win at #9 Florida State in 2006 and #8 Miami (FL) in 2009. The win at Miami tied for the highest-ranked team Clem-son has beaten on the road in history.

• The class has 32 wins in 52 games.• Has been to a bowl every year.• Has been ranked at some point in each of the four

seasons. That includes a top-25 ranking in 32 polls.• Defeated #13 Georgia Tech by a score of 31-7 at

Clemson in 2006 in the first ESPN GameDay appear-ance at Clemson.

Six Tigers Graduated on December 17 Clemson had five players on its roster who had their degrees during the regular season. Those five players were Thomas Austin (OG), Durrell Barry (TE), Sadat Chambers (FS), Chris Chancellor (CB), and Kyle Johnson (WR, degree from East Carolina). Those play-ers have a sticker of a graduation cap on their helmet that signifies that they have graduated. Six more current Tigers went through graduation exercises at Littlejohn Coliseum on December 17. They include Kavell Conner (LB), Jacoby Ford (WR), Ja-marcus Grant (OL), Cory Lambert (OT), C.J. Spiller (RB), and Ronald Watson (RB). Those players will add the cap to their helmet for the bowl game.

Five Tigers Chosen for All-Star Games Starting offensive guard Thomas Austin and line-backer Kavell Conner have accepted an invitation to play in the 85th East-West All-Star game in Orlando, FL on January 23, 2010. The game will be televised by ESPN2 and start at 3:00 PM.

Additionally, Jacoby Ford, Ricky Sapp, and C.J. Spiller have all been selected to play in the Senior Bowl in Mobile, AL on January 30 at 4:00 PM. Austin has started 37 consecutive games for the Ti-gers and has played in 47 games overall. He leads the team in knockdown blocks (102) and has been Clem-son’s highest-rated offensive linemen in 11 games this year. He was voted a co-captain by his teammates. Conner has 298 career tackles and is third on the team this year with 96. Spiller was the MVP of the ACC and is a first-team All-American in 2009. Ford was a Second-Team All-ACC player and leads the team in receptions (53). Sapp leads the team in tackles for loss and sacks.

Four Tigers in Top 20 in Seven Categories Clemson has four players who are in the top 25 in the nation in various statistical categories. The list is led by C.J. Spiller, who is fourth in the nation in all-purpose yards, fourth in kickoff returns, fifth in touchdowns, and 12th in scoring. DeAndre McDaniel actually has the highest ranking (#2) in interceptions per game. Freshman safety Rashard Hall is 13th in in-terceptions per game and Richard Jackson is 17th in field goals per game. Jackson is the only player in the nation to kick six field goals in a game this year, as he did it against Boston College in September.

Three Tigers Freshman All-Americans Safety Rashard Hall and center Dalton Freeman were named first-team freshman All-Americans by College Football News. Starting quarterback Kyle Parker was named to the second team. Hall is 13th in the nation and second in the ACC in interceptions this season with six in 13 games. It is tied for the third-most interceptions in Clemson history by a freshman. The red-shirt freshman from Saint Augus-tine, FL had one interception in four straight games at midseason to tie a school record for consecutive games with a pick. He has 59 tackles this year, sixth-most on the team. Hall was also named a second-team freshman All-American by Phil Steele. The Football Writers Associa-tion freshman team will be announced after the bowls. Freeman has started each of the last eight games at center. Clemson won each of his first six games as a starter and the Tigers are averaging 33 points per game in the contests he has started. He was a big reason Clemson showed improvement in the rushing game, including a stretch of three straight games with at least 240 yards on the ground, all Tiger wins. The Tigers had a season-high 323 rushing yards in the ACC Championship game against #12 Georgia Tech. Parker has started every game this year. The native of Jacksonville, FL is tied for first in the nation in wins by freshman quarterback (8), a total that is a Clem-son freshman record. Parker has completed 197-355 passes for 19 touchdowns and 2,385 yards. Those are Clemson freshman records for passing yards, comple-

tions, and touchdowns, breaking records that were held by Charlie Whitehurst in 2002. Parker was named national freshman-of-the-week when he led the Tigers to a 40-37 overtime win at #8 Miami (FL) in October.

Spiller & Ford the Nation’s Fastest Duo Jacoby Ford and C.J. Spiller are two of the top “home run” threats in college football in 2009. Spiller has 21 career touchdowns of 50 yards or more, more than any other player in school history, while Ford has eight, second-most in school history. Derrick Hamil-ton (2002-04) is third in Clemson history with seven. Spiller has nine this year to break his own season re-cord. In terms of plays of 80 yards or more, Spiller has 11, also a Clemson record. The second-best total for 80-yard scores is three. He is the only Tiger in history to record a play of 80 yards or more three different ways. Ford has three plays of at least 80 yards in his ca-reer. He had a 92-yard punt return for a score against Florida Atlantic and a 94-yard kickoff return for a touchdown against Louisiana Tech in 2006. He had an 82-yard kickoff return against Central Michigan in 2007, but it did not result in a touchdown. Both players have scored long touchdowns this year. In fact, Spiller had a touchdown of at least 60 yards in six of the first seven games and a 60-yard play in each of the first seven games. Overall, Spiller has 27 plays of at least 50 yards or more in his career. Six of the 27 have not gone for touchdowns, including a 60-yard reception against #14 Texas Christian on September 26.

Spiller & McDaniel Named to FW All-America Team C.J. Spiller and DeAndre McDaniel were both named first-team All-Americans by the Football Writ-ers Association of America on December 12. It was the first first-team selection for McDan-


Bowl Notesiel, who is second in the nation in interceptions with eight. The safety from Tallahassee, FL had been named second-team All-American by CBS SportsLine. Clemson was one of just four schools to have at least two first-team All-America selections this year. Alabama had three to lead all schools, while Clemson, Florida, and Texas had two apiece. This marks the first time since 1991 that Clemson has had two first-team selections on the same team. That year, Levon Kirkland and Jeb Flesch were both named to the Walter Camp team. This is the first time Clemson has had two first-team All-Americans accord-ing to the Football Writers team since 1981, when Jeff Davis and Terry Kinard, two former Tigers now in the College Football Hall of Fame, were selected. There were only three ACC players named to the Football Writers All-America team this year. In addi-tion to Spiller and McDaniel, Florida State offensive lineman Rodney Hudson was also selected. Spiller was named ACC Player-of-the-Year, the first Tiger to receive that honor since Michael Dean Perry in 1987. He is fourth in the nation in all-purpose yards with 194 yards per game. He is the only player in the nation to score at least one touchdown in every game this year and has 20 overall, a Clemson record. A finalist for the Doak Walker Award, Spiller had 233 yards in 20 carries and scored a career-high four touchdowns in the ACC Championship game against #12 Georgia Tech on December 5. He has 1,145 rush-ing yards this year and 445 receiving yards. He has 50 career touchdowns and needs just one to become Clemson’s career leader. Spiller, who graduated from Clemson on Decem-ber 17 with a degree in sociology, has 21 career touch-downs of 50 yards or more, including nine this year. McDaniel, a junior from Tallahassee, FL, has eight interceptions, second-most in the nation and most in the ACC. He needs just one more to establish the Clemson single-season record. He has been the leader of a Clemson team that is third in the nation in inter-ceptions and 11th in pass defense. McDaniel has 87 tackles from his safety position, including two sacks. He has 10 total passes defended. He was named national defensive player-of-the-week for his performance at #8 Miami (FL) in Clemson’s 40-37 overtime victory. He had two interceptions in that game, including one that he returned for a touch-down.

Spiller & Ford the Nation’s Top Return Duo You can make a case that C.J. Spiller and Jacoby Ford are the top kick-return duo in the nation. They have combined for 11 kick returns for scores in their respective careers, seven kickoff returns and a punt return for a score by Spiller and two punt returns and one kickoff return by Ford. Spiller broke Justin Miller’s record of three career kickoff returns for a score with his 96-yard return on the season-opening kickoff against Middle Tennessee. He now has seven for the NCAA record.

Spiller & Austin Combined For 11 ACC POTW C.J. Spiller was named ACC Player-of-the-Week four times this year, more than any other player. He tied for second in school history for ACC Player-of-the-Week selections with six in his career. Teammate Thomas Austin has been named five times in his ca-reer.

Three Tigers Named First-Team All-ACC C.J. Spiller, Michael Palmer, and DeAndre McDan-iel were all First-Team All-ACC selections according to voting conducted by the Atlantic Coast Sports Media Association. The association has selected the official All-ACC football team since 1953, the first year of the conference. Five Tigers made the second team, led by Jacoby Ford (WR), Thomas Austin (OG), Chris Hairston (OT), and Ricky Sapp (DE). Spiller was the first-team special-ist and second-team running back. Brandon Maye (LB), Jarvis Jenkins (DT), Chris Chan-cellor (CB), Crezdon Butler (CB), and Rashard Hall (S) were all honorable-mention selections.

Spiller & Ford the Nation’s Top All-Purpose Duo C.J. Spiller and Jacoby Ford are the top all-purpose duo in the history of college football. They have com-bined for 11,453 yards in their four years together. The previous record was 10,253 by Marshall Faulk and Darnay Scott of San Diego State (1991-93). Therefore, Spiller and Ford have the record by 1,200 yards. That computes to 6.54 miles of real estate on the gridiron for those two seniors combined. They have been together for four years and graduated on the same day in Littlejohn Coliseum on December 17) Overall, they have combined to record 1,129 all-purpose plays and scored 70 touchdowns. Dabo Swinney has put them in positions to get the ball in their hands as often as possible since he has been the Tigers’ head coach. As a result, they are the only two players in Clemson history to account for a touchdown five different ways. Both players have thrown a touchdown pass in addition to running for

scores, catching touchdown passes, and scoring on both punt and kickoff returns. Spiller has eight career returns for touchdowns and Ford has three. Both have thrown a touchdown pass this year as well. Spiller passed for a touchdown, rushed for a touch-down, and caught a touchdown pass in the win at N.C. State this year. He is the only player in the nation to do that this year. The last to do it was Ty Hilton of Florida International, who accomplished the feat last year. Their impact in the return game has been out-standing. Between 1970-87, Clemson went 999 con-secutive punt and kickoff returns without a touch-down. Now Spiller and Ford have had a combined 11 in the last four years. Below is a rundown of their career totals in each category.

Austin Leads O-Line in Snaps & Knockdowns The leader of Clemson’s offensive line is graduate student Thomas Austin. Austin has 102 knockdown blocks this year, 39 more than any other Tiger. He has 306 for his career that has included 47 games and 38 starts. He has started all 13 games this year and 37 in a row over the last three years. Austin has led Clemson in film grade from his coaches in all but one game this year and was named Second-Team All-ACC. Austin is a big reason Clemson has made a sig-nificant improvement offensively this year. The Tigers have averaged 33 points per game over the last eight games and have scored at least 34 points in seven of the last eight games. Austin leads a veteran offensive line that has a combined 102 career starts entering the Music City Bowl. The line will be without Mason Cloy against Kentucky, because he suffered a broken leg in the ACC Championship game. He started five games this year and was third on the team in knockdown blocks (52). Chris Hairston joined Austin as a Second-Team All-ACC selection, while Dalton Freeman was a first-team freshman All-American according to CollegeFootball-News.com.

Butler Second in Career INT Return Yards Cornerback Crezdon Butler entered the 2009 sea-son with 10 career interceptions and two recovered fumbles for 12 career takeaways. He had an intercep-tion return for 47 yards against Coastal Carolina and is in a tie for second in school history in interception re-turn yards with 243. He is tied with former teammate Michael Hamlin in that category. As far as takeaways are concerned, Butler is tied for eighth in Clemson history with 13. Terry Kinard holds


Bowl Notesthe Tiger record with 19. Butler is fourth among active FBS players in career interception return yards.

Dye Named to Allstate AFCA Good Works Team Junior wideout Xavier Dye was one of 11 FBS play-ers named to the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team. The select group of student-athletes are selected for their outstanding work in community service. Dye is the third Tiger named to the team since it was formed by the AFCA in 1992. The previous Clem-son selections were Robert Carswell in 1999 and Nick Eason in 2000. In order to meet the criteria set forth by Allstate and AFCA, each player must be actively involved and committed to working with a charitable organization, service group, or community service while maintain-ing good academic standing. Candidates must also display sincere concern and reliability, while also hav-ing made a favorable impression on the organizations with which they are involved. Neither athletic ability nor on-the-field achievements are among the selec-tion criteria. Dye, a native of Greenwood, SC, has been active in community service since he came to Clemson in Janu-ary of 2007. The following is a list of community service ac-tivities Dye has been involved with since he came to Clemson.

• Speak Up for a Child Gala• Boy Scout Day at Clemson• Men’s Clinics in Mauldin, Walhalla, and Greenville (church af-

filiated)• FCA Mission trip to New Orleans, LA• Tutors a middle school student in Clemson once a week• Sports Day in Greenwood, SC (assisted a youth group)• Speaker at various elementary schools in the Upstate deliver-

Ellington Averaging 7.36 Yards Per Carry While C.J. Spiller has had perhaps the best individ-ual season in Clemson history, there may be a more-than-capable replacement for the Tigers top rusher next season. Freshman running back Andre Ellington has gained 471 yards on 64 carries this year (7.36 yards per carry). The 7.36 figure is second-best in the ACC among players with at least 400 rushing yards and is second-best in Clemson history. Ellington’s 7.36 figure is ahead of the 7.27 figure by Spiller when he was a freshman in 2006. The Clemson single-season record is nearly 60 years old. Billy Hair had a 7.39 average on 71 carries on Clemson’s undefeated 1950 team.

Ford Scores Game-Winner Jacoby Ford caught a 26-yard touchdown pass from Kyle Parker to give Clemson a walkoff 40-37 win at #8 Miami (FL) on October 24. The Tigers were faced with a third-and-11 from the Miami 26 when Parker and Ford executed the game-winning play. It was the first walk-off victory for the Tigers since the 2007 South Carolina game, when Mark Buchholz kicked a 35-yard field goal on the last play to give the Tigers a 23-21 victory. It was a special victory for Ford, who grew up in nearby Royal Palm Beach, FL.

Ford Throws Touchdown Pass Wide receiver Jacoby Ford threw a 23-yard touch-down pass to Xavier Dye in Clemson’s 49-3 win over Coastal Carolina. The trick play on Halloween was Clemson’s second touchdown of the game. It was the first time a Clemson wideout had thrown a touchdown pass since 1988, when Chip Davis threw one in the fa-mous “Puntrooskie Game” against Florida State. Ford had scored Clemson’s first touchdown of the day on a 36-yard scoring pass from Kyle Parker. So Ford threw a touchdown pass and caught one in the same game. How rare is that? You have to go back to 1950 to find the last time it had happened in

one game. The last Tiger to do it was Ray Mathews against Presbyterian in 1950. Mathews went one bet-ter than Ford, however. In that win to open the 1950 season, Mathews threw a touchdown pass, caught a touchdown pass, and rushed for two touchdowns. To show you how rare this is, there have been only five other players since 1950 who have thrown a touchdown pass and caught a touchdown pass in one season, nevermind the same game. Spiller did it last year, but you have to go back to Davis in 1988 to find the last time it happed in a season prior to last year. Ford also became just the second Tiger in his-tory to account for a touchdown five different ways. He joined teammate C.J. Spiller as the only players in school history to throw a touchdown pass, catch a touchdown pass, rush for a score, and score on a punt return and a kickoff return. Spiller then accomplished the feat against N.C. State. So it had not happened in 58 years, then hap-pened twice in one year.

Ford Moving Up Reception List Jacoby Ford is Clemson’s top receiver this year with 53 catches for 735 yards and five touchdowns. Ford has moved into eighth place on the Clemson career reception list and has 140 for his career. He is also 10th in receiving yards (1,942). He also has 15 receiving touchdowns, seventh-most in Tiger history. His top play as a Tiger took place in the win at #8 Miami (FL) when he caught a 26-yard touchdown pass from Kyle Parker in overtime to win the game in walkoff fashion. He had an outstanding outing in his final home game when he had 211 all-purpose yards in a win over Virginia. That included six receptions for 106 yards and a touchdown.

Hall Has Six Interceptions Freshman safety Rashard Hall had his sixth inter-ception of the year at South Carolina on November 28. He is 13th in the nation on a per-game basis. One might think that Hall has already set some sort of freshman record for interceptions. He is getting close, but the Clemson freshman record for interceptions in a season is eight, set by Robert O’Neal in 1989 and Justin Miller in 2002. That is also the Clemson single-season mark, a total that has also been reached by junior De-Andre McDaniel this year. Hall does have a record to his credit this year. He had a streak of four straight games with an intercep-tion and that tied the Clemson mark for consecutive games with a pick. He and McDaniel now have 14


Bowl Notesinterceptions between them, the most by a Tiger duo since 2002, when Miller had eight and Brian Mance had six. Hall and McDaniel are tied for the national lead in interceptions by a duo. Rahim Moore (9) and Alterraun Verner (5) of UCLA also have combined for 14 interceptions this year.

Harbison Coaching Another Record-Setting Group Clemson has 21 interceptions this year. It is cer-tainly a possibility that the Tigers could reach the school record of 25 by the end of the season. That is one of the oldest records at Clemson, as it is held by the 1951 team. That squad had 361 interception re-turn yards, second to last year’s record 368. So far this year, Clemson has 21 interceptions as a team for 342 yards and a touchdown. This interception total is certainly a positive reflec-tion on the work of Defensive Backs Coach Charlie Har-bison, who is also co-defensive coordinator. He is in his first year at Clemson the second time around. He also coached the Tiger defensive backs from 1995-97. It is interesting to note that in the first year in his first tour of duty, Clemson had 22 interceptions, the fourth-highest total in school history. That year, Har-bison coached a secondary that was led by safety Brian Dawkins, who had an ACC-high six interceptions. Dawkins is a seven-time NFL Pro Bowler now with the Denver Broncos. This year, he is coaching safety De-Andre McDaniel, who has an ACC-best eight intercep-tions. That 1995 team also had future NFL players Leo-mont Evans, Dexter McCleon, and Antwan Edwards. This year’s total is tied for fifth-most in Clemson history and is third-most in the nation this year.

Tigers Honor Hunter by Wearing #17 Prior to the beginning of this season, it was de-termined that sophomore linebacker Stanley Hunter would have to give up football due to his continuing battle with epilepsy. The former linebacker at James F. Byrnes High School had a solid freshman year when he had 37 tackles in just 158 defensive snaps. His average of one tackle every 4.27 snaps led the team. But during spring practice and over the summer, he had repeated spells that led to his retirement from the game. Hunter is still involved as a student coach and hopes to go into the coaching profession. Hunter is very popular among his teammates. As a result, various players came to Dabo Swinney and asked that they wear his jersey #17 in his honor during the season. For the season-opener, fellow linebacker Brandon Maye, who normally wears #20, wore #17 against Middle Tennessee. He wore it well, as he had 14 tackles and his first career interception. Senior Kavell Conner wore the number against Virginia in his final home game. He had 15 tackles to lead the Tigers and was voted defensive player-of-the-week by the Clemson coaches.

Jackson 17th Nationally in Field Goals Richard Jackson was the recipient of the “Leather Helmet” Award in Clemson’s victory over Boston Col-lege. Last year, the Boston College Gridiron Club be-gan giving a replica leather helmet to the MVP of the winning team. He has made 20-30 field goals this year and is 17th in the nation in field goals per game. Jackson booted six field goals in Clemson’s 25-7 victory, including a 52-yarder into the wind and rain in the third quarter. Jackson was 6-6 on field goals to tie Jad Dean’s single-game Tiger record set against #17 Texas A&M in 2005. He is the only player in the nation to kick six field goals in a game this year. Jackson set a school record for most yards on field goals in a game in the win over Boston College. His six field goals went for a combined 217 yards, 25 yards more than Dean’s six field goals four years before. The junior kicked his third field goal of at least 50 yards in the loss at Maryland. He has already estab-lished a school record for field goals of at least 50 yards in a season. Jackson was named one of three national kickers-of-the-week for the performance against Bos-ton College by the Lou Groza Award committee.

Records Set or Tied by Richard Jackson in 2009• Yards on made field goals in a game (217)• Field goals of 50 yards or more in a season (3)• Field goals in a game (6)• Most made field goals without a miss (6)

Maye Sets Caused Fumbles Record Starting linebacker Brandon Maye has five caused fumbles this year, a single-season school record. The previous record was four held by many players. Maye has six caused fumbles and three recovered fumbles in his career. That is a total of nine combined caused and recovered fumbles in his first two years. The Clemson career record is 18 by Jeff Davis, the defensive cap-tain of Clemson’s 1981 National Championship team. Maye is halfway to that record. Maye has had a solid 2009. He was named an Honorable Mention All-ACC selection and an ESPN Academic All-District choice. He is Clemson’s top tack-ler (103) this year. That includes 44 tackles in his last four games. He has had double-figures in tackles four times this year, including three of the last four.

McDaniel Ties Interception Record DeAndre McDaniel had his eighth interception of the year in the win over Florida State. It was a special play for McDaniel, who is a Tallahassee, FL native. The eight interceptions are tied for the most in a season in Clemson history. Robert O’Neal had eight in 1989 and Justin Miller had eight in 2002. Both were freshmen that season and both went on to play in the NFL.

McDaniel is second in the nation in interceptions behind Rahim Moore of UCLA, who has nine.

Napier the ACC’s Youngest Coordinator Clemson offensive coordinator Billy Napier is the youngest coordinator in the ACC and the youngest co-ordinator in Clemson history. Napier was born July 21, 1979, which made him 30 at the start of the season. The previous youngest coordinator in Clemson history was Whitey Jordan, who was Frank Howard’s offensive coordinator in 1968 at the age of 32. Napier is the youngest coordinator on either side of the ball in the ACC by seven years. The second youngest is Duke offensive coordinator Kurt Roper, who was born July 25, 1972. James Franklin, the of-fensive coordinator at Maryland, was also 37 when the season began, but he was born February 2, 1972, so he is a few months older than Roper. The youngest de-fensive coordinator in the ACC is Duke’s Marion Hobby, who is 39. He was an assistant coach at Clemson in 2005. Head Coach Dabo Swinney is also the youngest head coach in the ACC. Swinney turned 40 one No-vember 20, the night before the Virginia game.

Palmer Sets Tight End Receiving Record Tight end Michael Palmer had eight receptions for 106 yards and a touchdown in the loss at South Caroli-na. That was just the second 100-yard receiving game for a Clemson tight end in history. John McMakin had four catches for 107 yards against The Citadel in 1970. Palmer has had quite a season with 41 catches for 468 yards and four scores. He broke the school record for catches in a season by a tight end when he had three against Georgia Tech in the ACC Championship game. The previous record was 40 by McMakin in 1970. Palmer established the yardage record when he caught a 22-yard scoring pass from Kyle Parker in the fourth quarter at South Carolina. Palmer was named the top tight end in the nation by the John Mackey committee for that performance at #8 Miami (FL). He had five catches for 74 yards and a touchdown in that game.

Parker #5 in ACC History in Passing Yards By Frosh Kyle Parker has thrown for 2,385 yards this year, the best by far by a freshman in Clemson history and fifth-best in ACC history by a freshman. The record is 3,208 by Drew Weatherford of Florida State in 2005. Weatherford quarterbacked Florida State to the ACC title that year. Parker has thrown 19 touchdown passes, includ-ing at least one in seven straight games to close the regular season, a streak that was broken in the 39-34 loss to #12 Georgia Tech in the ACC title game. The ACC record for passing touchdowns in a season by a freshman is 25 by Philip Rivers of N.C. State in 2000.

Parker tied for FBS Lead in Wins By a Freshman QB Freshman Kyle Parker has been under center for all 13 games as a starter this year and is a major reason the Tigers are 8-5 and ACC Atlantic Division Champi-ons. In winning eight games as the starting quarter-back, he is tied for the national lead in wins by a fresh-men quarterback. Matt Barkley of Southern California and Andrew Luck of Stanford also have eight. But, only Parker took his team to a conference title game. Parker has already broken the school record for wins by a freshman quarterback. The previous record was five by Rodney Williams in 1985. Parker has completed 197-355 passes for 2,385 yards and 19 touchdowns. Those are Clemson fresh-man records in all categories. He had thrown at least one touchdown pass in seven straight games to close the regular season. The previous record was six by Mike Eppley (1984) and Woodrow Dantzler (2000).

Parker Has Records in Two Sports Quarterback Kyle Parker is a two-sport athlete at Clemson and a recordbreaker at that. He came to Clemson in January of 2008 and immediately became a First-Team All-ACC baseball player for Jack Leggett’s team. He made First-Team All-ACC as a DH in the spring of 2008 when he was supposed to be a senior in high school. On March 9, 2008, he hit three home runs in the second game of a doubleheader at Wake Forest to tie the Clemson single-game record. He joined former Major Leaguer Denny Walling and current Cub Jeff Baker among the 12 Tigers to do that in a game. This past spring, while also going through spring football practice, he reached 25 career home runs by his 103rd career game, the fewest games needed to reach 25 home runs in Tiger history. He has 26 home runs. He had the game-winning hit in the eighth inning of Clemson’s NCAA Regional win against Oklahoma

State, a hit that sent Clemson to the super regionals in 2009. He had a home run in the ACC Tournament last year and took Clemson to the ACC Football Champion-ship. Parker has established records on the gridiron as well. When Clemson beat #8 Miami (FL) on October 24, he became the first freshman quarterback to lead Clemson to a win over a top-10 team. It was just the second time a freshman had quarterbacked the Tigers to a win over a top-25 team on the road. He broke three more records and tied another in the win over Florida State. First, he set the record for most wins in a season by a freshman quarterback. He has eight, breaking the previous mark of five set by Rodney Williams in 1985. Parker also broke Charlie Whitehurst’s record for touchdown passes in a season by a freshman. Parker has 19 and Whitehurst had 10. Parker threw four touchdown passes against the Seminoles to tie Whitehurst’s record in that area. Parker also became the Clemson freshman recordholder for passing yards (2,385). Whitehurst had that mark with 1,554 in 2002. Parker’s 19 touchdown passes actually are fourth-most in school history. The record is 27 by Cullen Harper in 2007. He set an overall school record in the loss at South Carolina. He threw a touchdown pass to Michael Palmer, his seventh straight game with a touchdown pass, breaking the previous record of six in a row. Parker was named a freshman All-American in baseball in the spring of 2008 and has been named a second-team freshman All-American in football this year.

Parker Passes For 326 Yards Freshman Kyle Parker had the best day of his young career in the Tigers’ 40-37 overtime win at #8 Miami (FL) on October 24. The Jacksonville, FL na-tive completed 25-37 passes for 326 yards and three scores. It was the second-best performance in school history by a freshman. The only completion and yard-age totals that are better were turned in by Charlie Whitehurst in Clemson’s 34-31 win at Duke in 2002. Whitehurst was 34-52 for 420 yards and four scores in that game. However, Parker had those numbers against the #8-ranked team in the nation. It marked just the third time in Clemson history a freshman had quarter-backed the Tigers to a win over a top-25 opponent, including just the second time it had been done on the road. Patrick Sapp led Clemson to a 40-7 win over #18 North Carolina in a game at Clemson in 1992, and Nealon Greene led Clemson to a 28-17 win over #12 North Carolina in Chapel Hill in 1994. Sapp is also from Jacksonville, FL, so two of the three freshmen to lead Clemson to a win over a ranked team are from Jacksonville. Parker then threw four touchdown passes in the win over Florida State to tie the single-game fresh-man mark. He was 12-18 for 183 yards and two scores against N.C. State.

Sapp Has 41 Career Tackles for Loss Ricky Sapp has been one of the leaders of the Clemson defense this season. The senior from Bam-berg, SC has 15 tackles for loss to lead the squad, fourth-most in the ACC. He also leads the Tigers in sacks (5) and quarterback pressures (17). His disrup-tion on the defensive line is a big reason Clemson leads the ACC in sacks (34). That is a big improvement over last year when Clemson had just 14 sacks, fewest in the ACC. Sapp, a Second-Team All-ACC choice, has 58 tack-les, seventh-most on the team. The Music City Bowl will be his 50th career game and his 36th start. He has 158 tackles, 41 tackles for loss, and 16 sacks in his ca-reer. He leads all active Tigers in career tackles for loss and sacks. His tackle for loss total is among the top-15 figures in Tiger history. Sapp’s linemate at defensive end is sophomore Da’Quan Bowers, who went to the same high school as Sapp. Bowers effectively missed three games this year with an injury, but he has still accumulated 52 tackles, including 11 tackles for losses and three sacks. He had a career-high 11 tackles in the ACC Championship game against #12 Georgia Tech. He was the Clemson MVP of the Gator Bowl last year when he had three tackles for loss.

Spiller Effect Clemson has an average starting field position af-ter a kickoff at its own 38 this year. Opponents have an average starting field position at their own 24. That 14-yard difference can certainly be attributed directly to the return ability of C.J. Spiller, who has four kickoff returns for touchdowns this year in just 21 returns, and seven for his career. The seven touchdowns on kickoff returns are an NCAA record. He is fourth in the nation in kickoff return average with a 33.7 average. Wake Forest, Coastal Carolina, and N.C. State squib kicked or even onside kicked to the Tigers on kick-offs this year. All three schools punted the ball out of bounds as well. It was college football’s version of the intentional walk. The Spiller effect has led Clemson to an overall starting field position advantage of eight yards on all possessions. Clemson has had an average start at its own 37 this year and opponents their own 29. Twenty-five times in 58 kickoffs, opponents have either squib kicked or kicked the ball out of bounds in an attempt to keep the ball away from Spiller.

Spiller Among Top Active Players in Many Areas Senior running back C.J. Spiller is one of the top all-around football players in the nation. That is demon-strated by the fact that he is in the top 20 in the nation among active FBS players in 12 different categories. That includes the national lead in career kickoff re-turns for touchdown (7), a total that is an NCAA record. He is also second among active players in all-purpose


Bowl Notesyards (7,416) and second in touchdowns (50). He is also fifth in rushing yards (3,480).

Spiller Establishes Another ACC Record Running back C.J. Spiller established another ACC record in the win over Virginia. He has 2,508 all-purpose yards in 2009, more than any ACC player for a season in history. The previous record was held by Thomas Jones of Virginia, who had 2,054 in 1999. Spiller broke the record in the win over Virginia. Spiller is ahead of the league record for all-purpose yards per game. He has a 192.9 average this year. The existing record is 186.9 by Frank Quayle of Virginia in 1968. Quayle is the color commentator for the Virginia radio network and got to watch Spiller first-hand on November 21. Spiller needs 111 all-purpose yards against Ken-tucky to break Quayle’s per-game record.

Spiller Moving Up NCAA Chart Running back C.J. Spiller went over the 7,000-yard mark in all-purpose yards at South Carolina when he returned the opening kickoff 88 yards for a touch-down. He became just the fifth FBS player in history to reach 7,000 yards. He is third on the all-time list with 7,416 and needs 158 yards to move ahead of DeAnge-lo Williams of Memphis into second place. The record is held by Brandon West of Western Michigan, who is a senior this year. West finished with 7,764 yards. Spiller needs 349 all-purpose yards against Kentucky to break West’s record.

Spiller Records Another First C.J. Spiller recorded another first at N.C. State when he accounted for a touchdown three different ways in the Tigers’ 43-23 win. Spiller threw a 17-yard scoring pass to Xavier Dye in the second quarter. He then scored on a 17-yard run and a 34-yard reception in the second half to complete the triple. Spiller became the first Tiger to throw a scoring pass, catch a touchdown pass, and rush for a touch-down in the same game against an FBS opponent in school history. Ray Mathews threw for a score, ran for two, and passed for one in a game against Presbyte-rian in 1950, but that was the only other time it has happened. Spiller became the third FBS player to do it this year. Mike Kafka, a quarterback at Northwestern, did it against Syracuse on September 19, and Joe Webb, a quarterback at UAB, did it against Texas-El Paso on October 31. Spiller has accounted for a touchdown five differ-ent ways this year, a first in Tiger history. He has one scoring pass, 11 rushing touchdowns, four receiving touchdowns, one punt return for a score, and four touchdowns on kickoff returns. He is the only player in the nation to do it this year.

Spiller Becomes Sixth ACC Player with 3,000/1,000 C.J. Spiller became the fifth player in ACC history to accumulate 3,000 rushing yards and 1,000 receiving yards when he had 165 rushing yards in the win over Florida State on November 7. He has 3,480 rushing yards in his career. He already was over the 1,000-yard mark in receiving and has 1,362 for his career. Spiller joins former Tiger Travis Zachery, North Car-olina’s Leon Johnson, Virginia’s Terry Kirby, and Florida State’s Warrick Dunn in the 3,000/1,000 club. Dunn was Spiller’s idol growing up in Florida and Spiller wears #28 because that was Dunn’s number in college and in the NFL. Spiller needs 55 receiving yards in the bowl game to become the first ACC player with 1,000 rushing yards and 500 receiving yards in one season.

Spiller Had 50-Yarder in Eight Straight FBS Games Running back C.J. Spiller had a unique streak go-ing until he played just 15 snaps and touched the ball just five times against Coastal Carolina on October 31. Spiller had a 60-yard play, either from scrimmage or on a return, in each of those first seven games. Noth-ing in Clemson history compares to it and we have to wonder if anyone else has ever done it nationally. Six of the seven plays of at least 60 yards went for touchdowns, including his 90-yard kickoff return for a score at #8 Miami (FL) on October 24. He had three kickoff returns for scores of over 90 yards, a 77-yard punt return, two receptions of at least 60 yards, and the 66-yard run against Wake Forest. So he had seven plays of at least 60 yards four different ways. Spiller had two touchdowns of at least 50 yards at Miami. In addition to the kickoff return, he had a 56-yard scoring reception and a 48-yard run.

Spiller had a 88-yard kickoff return for a score at South Carolina in the final regular-season game, giv-ing him nine plays of at least 50 yards this year.

Spiller joined exclusive company on Septem-ber 26 when he went over the 1,000-yard receiving mark and the 1,500-yard mark in kickoff return yard-age in a 14-10 loss to #14 Texas Christian. Spiller is the second player in FBS history to accumulate at least 3,000 rushing yards, 1,500 kickoff return yards, 1,000 receiving yards, and 500 punt return yards in a career. Spiller joins former Heisman Trophy winner and Southern California All-American Reggie Bush as the only players to reach all four levels in a career.

Spiller Compares Well With All-Purpose Greats It is difficult to quantify the all-around accomplish-ments of running back C.J. Spiller this year and over his career. He became the ACC’s career leader at Maryland when he had 176 all-purpose yards and now has 7,416 in his career. Spiller is averaging 193 yards per game this year and became just the fifth player in NCAA history to go over 7,000 yards when he returned a kickoff 88 yards for a touchdown at South Carolina on November 28. He is now in third place in NCAA history. Spiller’s impact on the game can be compared with some previous Heisman winners, or near Heis-man winners who handled the ball as all-purpose players. Below is a comparison of season and career stats for Spiller, Tim Brown (Notre Dame, 1984-87), Raghib Ismail (Notre Dame, 1988-90), Desmond How-ard (Michigan, 1989-91), and Reggie Bush (Southern California, 2003-05). In 2009, Spiller is averaging 193 yards per game. Only Bush and his 222.3 average during the 2005 sea-son is higher. Spiller would be at 206 per game had he not played against Coastal Carolina. He had just 27 yards in that game, as he played just a few plays due to the nature of the score and a recurring toe injury. Brown averaged 173.4 in 1987, his Heisman year, and Ismail averaged 156.4 in 1990, the year he finished second. Howard averaged 155 yards per game in 1991 when he won the Heisman. Spiller has 21 touchdowns of 50 yards or more in his career, including nine this year. Ismail had 13, Bush had 13, and Brown had nine. Spiller has as many 50-yard touchdowns this year as Brown had for his entire Notre Dame career. Spiller has five kick returns for touchdowns this year, four on kickoff returns and one on a punt return. All have been at least 77 yards in length.

Spiller Has 100-Yard Games Four Different Ways C.J. Spiller has reached the 100-yard mark in four different areas over his career, the only player in Clem-son history to do so. He had 26 carries for 112 yards against #14 Texas Christian, a defense that ranked first in the nation in rushing defense in 2008 and was near the top of the nation entering the game this year. Texas Christian had allowed just 43 rushing yards per game entering the game. Spiller had a career-high 233 rushing yards against #12 Georgia Tech and has 12 100-yard rushing games in his career. Spiller also has three 100-yard receiving games (three of the four by running backs in school history), four 100-yard kickoff return games, and a 100-yard punt return game. He had three punt returns for 119 yards against Boston College on September 19. That is still the third-most punt return yards in a game this year by any player.

Spiller Establishes ACC Record C.J. Spiller had 176 all-purpose yards at Maryland and became the ACC’s all-time leader in that area in the process. He has 7,416 in his career and broke the record of 5,828 by Leon Johnson of North Caro-lina (1993-96). So, he has broken the record by nearly 1,600 yards. Teammate Jacoby Ford has 4,037, sixth-most in Clemson history, and he is second among ac-tive ACC players.

Spiller’s Production Up Under Swinney C.J. Spiller had three consecutive 200-yard all-pur-pose yard games, a first in Tiger history, earlier in the season. He had 234 against #15 Georgia Tech on Sep-tember 10, 225 against Boston College on September 19, and 227 against #14 Texas Christian on September 26. He has added three 300-yard games since. Spiller has nine games of at least 200 all-purpose yards and eight of the nine have taken place since Dabo Swinney took over as Clemson’s head coach. In 32 games before Swinney became the head


Bowl Notescoach, Spiller averaged 14.4 touches per game for 121.3 yards per game. In 19 games he has played since Swinney became the head coach, he has had 376 touches for 3,535 yards. That is an average of 19.8 touches and 186 yards per game.

Spiller Third on Tiger Rushing List C.J. Spiller became the fourth player in Clemson history to reach 3,000 rushing yards when he had 165 yards against Florida State. Spiller has reached this plateau even though he has started just 18 games in his career. He split time with James Davis (now with Cleveland Browns) his first three years. Spiller has a 5.9 yards per carry average, best in Clemson history among players with at least 1000 rushing yards. Spiller is third in Clemson history in career rushing yards, trailing only former teammate James Davis and all-time leader Raymond Priester.

Spiller Named to Walter Camp All-America Teams C.J. Spiller was named a first-team All-America kick returner and second-team All-America running back by the Walter Camp Foundation. This is the oldest of the All-America teams and is named after the former legendary college coach. He is the first player in the history of the Walter Camp All-America team to make first or second-team

All-American at two different positions. Spiller was the only ACC player named to the first team. Spiller was named a unanimous first-team All-American this year. He is just the third Clemson player to be a unanimous All-American, the first as an offensive player. Terry Kinard was a unanimous All-American in 1982 and Gaines Adams was a unanimous selection in 2006. Spiller was named ACC Player-of-the-Year, the first Tiger to receive that honor since Mi-chael Dean Perry (1987). He is fourth in the nation in all-purpose yards (192.9). He is the only player in the nation to score at least one touchdown in every game this year and has a school-record 20. A finalist for the Doak Walker Award, Spiller had 233 yards on 20 carries and scored a career-high four touchdowns in the ACC Championship game against #12 Georgia Tech. He has 50 career touchdowns and needs just one to become Clemson’s career leader. This year, he has accounted for a touchdown five different ways, 11 rushing, four receiving, four on kick-off returns, one on a punt return, and one by throw-ing a touchdown pass. He has already established an NCAA record for kickoff returns for touchdowns in a career (7). He has 7,416 all-purpose yards in his career, third-most in NCAA history. Spiller, who graduated from Clemson on Decem-ber 17 with a degree in sociology, has 21 career touch-downs of 50 yards or more, including nine this year.

Spiller Over 1,000 Rushing Yards for First Time C.J. Spiller went over the 1,000-yard rushing mark for the 2009 season when he rushed for 233 yards in the ACC Championship game against #12 Georgia Tech. It was a career high for Spiller, the fourth-most in a game in Clemson history, and the most by a Ti-ger since Raymond Priester gained a record 263 yards against Duke in 1995. It was the most rushing yards by a Tiger in a game away from home since Don King had 234 yards at Fordham in 1952. Spiller has 1,145 rushing yards. That is already the seventh-best season in Tiger history and the most since James Davis had 1,187 in 2006. Spiller needs 201 yards to break Priester’s single-season record. Overall, Spiller is the 12th Tiger to record a 1,000-yard rushing season. Two players have done it twice, Priester and Woodrow Dantzler, so Spiller’s is the 14th-different 1,000-yard rushing season.

Spiller Third in ACC History in KOR Average C.J. Spiller has 2,005 career kickoff return yards on 72 returns, a 27.9-yard average. That includes a 33.7-yard average this year. Spiller is third in ACC history in kickoff return average on a career basis. It is interest-ing to note that three of the top four averages in ACC history are held by Tigers. Spiller’s 33.7-yard average would be the fourth-best in ACC history if the season ended today.

Spiller Comparable to Titans’ Johnson Recent articles about C.J. Spiller have compared him favorably to current Tennessee Titan running back Chris Johnson, one of the top rushers in the NFL this year. They are similar in size and style of play in that they have all-around abilities and can help their re-spective teams in a variety of ways. Spiller will play against Kentucky on Johnson’s home turf at LP Field on December 27. Spiller and the Clemson team are scheduled to watch Johnson and the Titans play at home against the Chargers on Christmas night. A look to their respective college stats shows there is also a comparison there. Spiller recently went ahead of Johnson on the NCAA all-purpose yardage list. Johnson had 6,993 yards in 47 games at East Carolina (2004-07), while Spiller has 7,416 yards in 51 games at Clemson. Their career yards-per-game average is very close, 148.8 for Johnson and 145.4 for Spiller. Spiller has 11 career receiving touchdowns and Johnson had 10. Johnson had 32 career rushing touchdowns and Spiller has 31. If Spiller gets five catches in the bowl game, he will have the same total as Johnson (125). Spiller has the advantage in touchdowns (50-44) and in touchdown plays of 50 yards or more (21-9). Spiller has 569 career punt return yards and Johnson never returned a punt in college. He also has the ad-vantage in yards per carry and kickoff return average.

Bowl NotesSpiller & Tebow Only Active Players With 50 TDs C.J. Spiller scored four touchdowns in the ACC Championship game against #12 Georgia Tech. That gave him 50 touchdowns for his career, tied for the most in Tiger history. Spiller is tied with Travis Zachery, who had 50 touchdowns (41 rushing, nine receiving) from 1998-01. The ACC record is 52 by Wali Lundy, who played at Virginia (2002-05). Therefore, he needs just one touchdown against Kentucky to establish a Clemson record and three to establish an ACC record. Spiller is one of just two active FBS players with at least 50 touchdowns. The other is Florida’s Tim Tebow. It is interesting to note that three of the top six touchdown scorers in ACC history played at Clemson. James Davis, a former teammate of Spiller, had 49. Spiller has 20 touchdowns in 2009, just one off the ACC record of 21 set by Don McCauley of North Caro-lina in 1970. Ryan Williams of Virginia Tech also has 20 touchdowns and can surpass the mark in Virginia Tech’s bowl game against Tennessee.

Spiller Has Top-Three APY Games in Tiger History While C.J. Spiller was a lock to set the Clemson all-purpose yardage record when the season started, he had not recorded one of the top-10 single-game all-purpose yardage performances in school history. That all changed this year, as he has now recorded the top-three games in school history. No Tiger had a 300-yard all-purpose yardage game prior to this year, but Spiller has done it three times this year, at #8 Miami (FL), at home against Florida State, and in the ACC Champion-ship game against #12 Georgia Tech. Prior to this year, no ACC player in history had had more than one 300-yard all-purpose yardage game in ACC history. Now Spiller has three and is obviously the ACC recordholder in that category.

Spiller Sixth in Final Heisman Voting C.J. Spiller finished sixth in the 2009 Heisman Tro-phy voting, tied for the highest finish by a Tiger. Steve Fuller finished in a tie for sixth with Ted Brown of N.C. State in 1978, and that is the only other top-10 Heis-man finish by a Tiger. Spiller had 26 first-place votes, 31 second-place votes, and 83 third-place votes in recording 223 Heis-man points. He was named on 140 of the 925 ballots. He was 167 points behind Florida quarterback Tim Tebow in the Heisman voting. The 26 first-place votes and 223 voting points were also the most ever by a Ti-ger. Fuller had 19 first-place votes and 92 points in the 1978 Heisman voting. Below are some other notes on Spiller and the Heisman voting.

• Spiller was the first ACC player to finish in the top six of the Heisman race since 2000, when Florida State quarterback Chris Weinke won the award. Since 1992, the only other ACC players (in the league the year of the voting) to finish in the top six were Joe Hamilton of Georgia Tech (second in 1999), Warrick Dunn of Florida State (fifth in 1996), and Charlie Ward of Florida State (first in 1993).

• Spiller’s 26 first-place votes and 223 voting points were the most by an ACC player since Weinke won the award in 2000.

• Voting in the Heisman this year was close, as evidenced by the 28-point difference between first-place Mark Ingram of Alabama and second-place Toby Gerhart of Stanford, the closest margin for the winner in the 75-year history of the award. But Spiller’s vote total was also an indication of the close race. Spiller’s 26 first-place votes were the second-most by a sixth-place finisher since 1973. The only other sixth-place finisher with more in the last 36 years was the 46 first-place votes by Antwaan Randle El of Indiana in 2001. He finished with 267 voting points that year in finishing sixth.

• Spiller’s point total of 223 was the third-most for a sixth-place finisher since 1973. Byron Hanspard of Texas Tech had just 15 first-place votes, but 251 voting points in 1996.

• Spiller joined a lot of celebrated players who have gone on to outstanding NFL careers with the sixth-place finish in the Heisman voting. Other sixth-place finishers include Bobby Layne of Texas (1947), Alan Ameche of Wisconsin (1953), Mike Ditka of Pittsburgh (1960), Dick Butkus of Illinois (1963), Bill Fralic of Pittsburgh (1984), Chris Spielman of Ohio State (1987), Warren Sapp of Miami (FL) (1994), Peyton Manning of Tennessee (1995), Michael Vick of Virginia Tech (2000), Matt Leinart of Southern California (2003), and A.J. Hawk of Ohio State (2005).

• Spiller had a similar finish to his boyhood idol, Warrick Dunn of Florida State. Spiller wears #28 because that was the num-ber that Dunn wore in college and the NFL. Spiller finished sixth with 26 first-place votes and Dunn finished fifth with 40 first-place votes his senior year (1996).

Swinney #2 in Wins Among First-Year Coaches Head Coach Dabo Swinney led the Tigers to the ACC title game and has an 8-5 record. That is tied for second among Clemson first-year coaches in terms of wins and is tied for fifth-most in ACC history. He is also tied for second among FBS coaches in their first full season.

Chip Kelly of Oregon has the most wins among first-year coaches with 10. The ACC record for wins by a first-year coach is 11 by Jeff Jagodzinski of Boston College in 2007. It should be noted that Frank Spaziani of Boston College also has eight wins in his first year as a head coach with an ACC team. The Clemson record for wins by a first-year coach is 10 by Ken Hatfield in 1990. Danny Ford was 8-4 in his first year in 1979 and Charley Pell was 8-3-1 in 1977 in his first year.

Head Coach Dabo Swinney At age 40, Dabo Swinney is the youngest head coach in the ACC and one of the youngest in the coun-try, but he has handled his first full season as Clem-son’s head coach like an old veteran. During the 2009 season, he led the Tigers to their first championship of the ACC’s Atlantic Division. The Tigers came just five points short of winning their first ACC title in 18 years. Swinney was second in the voting for ACC Coach-of-the-Year and was a finalist for the Liberty Mutual Coach-of-the-Year award. Entering the Music City Bowl, Swinney has ac-cumulated eight wins, second-most among all FBS coaches in their first full year behind Oregon’s Chip Kelly. The eight wins are in a tie for fifth-most in ACC history for a first-year head coach. A bowl victory would move him into a tie for fourth-best in ACC his-tory with Paul Johnson, who had a 9-4 record last year, his first year at Georgia Tech. The Tigers have reached the eight-win mark play-ing a schedule that has included four games against top-15 opponents, just the second year in school history (1999) that Clemson has played four games against teams ranked in the top 15 of the AP poll. Clemson was 1-3 in those games, but the three losses were by a combined 12 points (three points to Georgia Tech, four points to Texas Christian, and five points to Georgia Tech in the ACC Championship game). The Tigers’ three FBS non-conference oppo-nents had a combined record of 28-8 this year. Clem-son gave #3 and undefeated Texas Christian its stiffest test in a 14-10 Horned Frog victory on September 26. Swinney’s first season included a six-game win-ning streak at midseason, a streak that saw the Tigers score at least 34 points in every game, a first in school history. During that stretch, the Tigers defeated #8 Mi-ami (FL) on the road. The 40-37 overtime victory tied for the highest-ranked team Clemson has defeated on the road in school history. That was the second of six straight wins, the lon-gest winning streak for the Clemson program in four years. The streak also included a 40-24 nationally-tele-vised win over Florida State and Bobby Bowden, the Hall of Fame coach who is second in victories in FBS history. The winning streak brought Clemson to a #15

national ranking in the AP poll after the Atlantic Divi-sion clinching victory over Virginia on November 21. The Tigers had success on offense, defense, and special teams during the 2009 season. The Tigers were 24th in the nation and second in the ACC in scoring offense (31.9), while the defense was 22nd in total de-fense and 11th in pass defense. Clemson was in a tie for third in the country in interceptions as well. Clemson had a school-record six kick returns for touchdowns this year, four on kickoff returns and two on punt returns. The main reason Clemson was so outstanding on special teams was the play of college football’s most dynamic player, C.J. Spiller. The Tiger running back was named MVP of the ACC in 2009 and was a consen-sus first-team All-American. He had five kick returns for touchdowns during the 2009 season, an all-time Clemson record, and established the NCAA record for kickoff returns for touchdowns in a career with seven. He enters the bowl season as the only FBS player to score at least one touchdown in every game this year. Overall, the Tigers held down three positions on the All-ACC First-Team and five spots on the second team. Only Virginia Tech had more representatives. Swinney became Clemson’s interim head coach on October 13, 2008 when Tommy Bowden stepped down after guiding the program for nearly 10 sea-sons. Then on December 1, 2008, the “interim” tag was removed, as he took over on a full-time basis as the Tigers’ 25th head coach. He had been Clemson’s assis-tant head coach for two years and had been in charge of the wide receivers since 2003. Swinney, who had never been a head coach prior to the 2008 season, led Clemson to a 4-3 record to close the 2008 campaign. That mark included four vic-tories in the last five regular-season games, with the only loss at #24 Florida State. That 4-1 record to end the regular season tied for the best mark in the ACC for that time period. Four of his six regular-season op-ponents were later bowl participants. His 4-3 record included a 2-1 road record, wins over Boston College and Virginia. Swinney hit the ground running in his first week as interim head coach, as he prepared for a 5-1 Geor-gia Tech team. He had to re-organize his staff, and re-group his team and Clemson Nation in just five days. While the Tigers lost by four points, he accomplished many goals in that first week through his outstanding leadership. One of the most impressive demonstra-tions of unity came during the team’s “Tiger Walk.” Prior to the game against the Yellow Jackets, Swin-ney decided to have his team depart buses outside the Lot 5 parking lot near the WestZone at Memorial Stadium and experience the gameday atmosphere. Dressed in jackets and ties, the team was embraced by thousands of Tiger fans who stood 10 deep for the 200-yard march to the stadium. It was the centerpiece of his “All In” theme in his first week as head coach. It is a tradition that will continue in the future. In his second week as head coach, an off-week, he invited the Clemson student body to a practice, and nearly 1,000 students showed up. He spoke to the group and actually allowed some students to partici-pate during practice, as they were selected to attempt a field goal, punt against a live rush, and field a punt. He also took the entire team to the Greenville Chil-dren’s Hospital for a visit with young men and women fighting cancer.

He has continued his community involvement through his foundation. His foundation made the first contribution to the cancer fund established for Boston College linebacker Mark Herzlich. Many schools fol-lowed his lead the remainder of the season. The Liberty Mutual Coach-of-the-Year award eval-uates coaching performances in terms of coaching excellence, sportsmanship, integrity, academic excel-lence, and community commitment. It is easy to see why Swinney was a national finalist for that award in his first full season as head coach. Swinney’s first victory as a head coach took place in his first-ever road game on November 1. Despite committing four turnovers and trailing in the fourth quarter, his troops rallied for a 27-21 win, giving Clem-son its first win over the Eagles since 1958. It also came against the eventual ACC Atlantic Division champion. The Tigers suffered a 41-27 defeat at #24 Florida State a week later, but they rebounded to trounce Duke 31-7 at Memorial Stadium by outgaining the Blue Devils 466-168 under Swinney, who also served as offensive coordinator during the second half of 2008. Clemson showed its road prowess the follow-ing weekend by claiming a 13-3 victory at Virginia and veteran Cavaliers Head Coach Al Groh. Rival South Carolina awaited for the final regular-season game. Against one of the SEC’s best defenses, the Tigers used a balanced attack (184 rushing yards, 199 passing yards) to top the Gamecocks 31-14 at Memorial Stadium. Clemson also had four intercep-

Head Coach Dabo Swinneytions against Steve Spurrier’s offense and held it to just 22-47 passing for 212 yards. The following week, the Tigers accepted an invitation to play in the Gator Bowl against Nebraska, a game in which the Cornhuskers were victorious by a score of 26-21. The 1993 Alabama graduate joined the Clemson staff prior to the 2003 season. In his six years, the Ti-gers have finished in the top 25 of the final polls three times and totaled 10 wins over top-25 teams, includ-ing victories over Florida State (4), Miami (FL) (1), and Tennessee (1), during his tenure in Tigertown. Swinney coached his wide receiver position to a level of consistency that had not been seen previously at Clemson. He had a wideout finish first or second in the ACC in catches each of the last five years. In his first year, he had three of the top-10 receivers in the ACC, a first in Tiger history. He coached a First-Team All-ACC wideout every year from 2004-07 (three different play-ers), also an unprecedented feat at Clemson. In 2004 and 2005, he coached the ACC recep-tion champion (Airese Currie (2004), Chansi Stuckey (2005)). It was the first time Clemson had two differ-ent players lead the ACC in receptions in consecutive years. In 2007, Aaron Kelly led the ACC in yards, giving Swinney an ACC receiving king three out of four years. Stuckey earned First-Team All-ACC honors in back-to-back years, a first for a Tiger wideout in 25 years. The play of Swinney’s wide receivers was a big reason Clemson led the ACC in total offense, rushing offense, and scoring offense during the 2006 season, just the second time an ACC team led the conference in all three categories during the previous 25 seasons. The Tigers also led the league and set school records for yards per play (6.5) and touchdowns (55). In 2007, he coached Kelly, a First-Team All-ACC se-lection who led the league in receiving yards per game and touchdown catches (11). He also finished second in receptions per game with a school-record 88 catch-es, tied for the second-highest total in ACC history. His 11 touchdown catches were a Tiger record as well. Kelly is Clemson’s and the ACC’s career reception leader with 232 catches. He also owns the school touchdown reception record with 20. The previous re-cord of 18 was held by Glenn Smith, who established the record in 1951. The Alabama native has a reputation as one of the top recruiters in the nation. In 2006, he was listed as the fifth-best recruiter in the nation by Rivals.com. It marked the second straight year that he was lauded by the website as a top-25 national recruiter. He signed 38 players in his five recruiting seasons and was a ma-jor reason Clemson’s 2008 recruiting class was rated #2 in the nation by ESPN.com when he signed 11 players. He was named one of the top-25 recruiters in the na-tion by Rivals.com in 2007 as well. When Swinney accepted the interim head coach-ing position on October 13, 2008, he described his feelings as “bittersweet” because he was taking over for Bowden, who had been his first position coach at Alabama in 1989. He had also brought Swinney back to the coaching profession in 2003 and has had a profound effect on his life. Both had followed similar paths as players, as Bowden was a walk-on at West Vir-ginia and Swinney was a walk-on at Alabama. Swinney received a commerce & business admin-istration degree from Alabama in 1993 after lettering three times (1990-92). A walk-on who went on to earn a scholarship, Swinney was a wide receiver on

Alabama’s 1992 National Championship team. He was also named Academic All-SEC along with being an SEC Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll member in 1990 and 1992. Along with his appearance in the 1993 Sugar Bowl, his Alabama teams played in the 1990 Sugar Bowl, 1991 Fiesta Bowl, and 1991 Blockbuster Bowl. Both Sugar Bowl appearances came after winning the SEC Championship game. After his playing career, Swinney served as a grad-uate assistant coach from 1993-95 at Alabama, where he coached in the 1994 Gator Bowl and 1995 Citrus Bowl. In December of 1995, he received a master’s de-gree in business administration from Alabama. He became a full-time assistant coach at Alabama in February of 1996 under Head Coach Gene Stallings and coached a total of five seasons there on a full-time basis. He was assigned to coach the Crimson Tide’s wide receivers and tight ends in 1996, a season that saw Alabama win the SEC Western Division title and make an Outback Bowl appearance. The following year, he solely coached the tight ends under Head Coach Mike DuBose. In 1998, he coached Alabama’s wide receivers, a position he held for three seasons. At the end of the 1999 campaign, Swinney coached the Crimson Tide in the 2000 Orange Bowl after winning the SEC Champi-onship game. Wide receiver Freddie Milons was the game MVP. Since 1997, he has had 17 former players either drafted or sign free-agent contracts with NFL teams. The list includes Currie, Derrick Hamilton, Kevin Youngblood, Stuckey, and Milons, an All-American at Alabama. During his time at Alabama, Swinney was a part of six teams with at least 10 wins, five top-10 fin-ishes, one national title (1992), three SEC champion-ships (1989,92,99), and five SEC Western Division titles (1992,93,94,96,99) as a player and coach. He has coached the #2 receiver at Alabama (Milons) along with the #1 (Kelly) and #2 (Hamilton) receivers in Tiger history. From April of 2001 through February of 2003, Swinney was in private business in Alabama. He mar-ried the former Kathleen Bassett in 1994. They have three sons, Will (11), Drew (9), and Clay (6).

Quotes on C.J. Spiller “I thought Spiller was the difference in the game. I doubt if anyone is playing better than him in the country. The happiest I was, was when he was off the field. I knew he couldn’t get the ball. “I would rank him pretty high among the really great players I have seen. The people that recruit those kinds of guys, they are the ones that have a chance to win National Championships because it is people like him that can get you in there. “Florida State head Coach Bobby Bowden

“It’s like a ticking bomb. It will tick, tick, tick, and then all of a sudden it goes off. How long can you contain him. Gosh, we contained him pretty good in the first half. I think he got loose for a 40-yard run. But we contained him pretty good. But the second half, boy, he hit that little wheel route on us. We worked on that. I talked about it all week. We wanted to be in a certain defense when that thing came up. We were not in it, and it was just a physical mismatch. His speed against our linebacker’s speed. I thought he was the difference in the game. “C.J. Spiller ran 90 yards for Clemson at the end of the second quarter, his 18th career touchdown run of 50 yards or more. Spiller went 56 more yards to score on a pass from Kyle Parker. And you’ve hardly heard his name mentioned in Heisman Trophy conversations yet. Disgraceful. “But you will, you will.”Edwin Pope, Miami Herald

“If you’re looking at MVPs and Heismans, I don’t know if there’s any player in the country who’s more valuable to his team than CJ Spiller. A lot of coaches coach their whole lives and never get a chance to coach a guy like C.J. Spiller. For me, its very special.”Dabo Swinney, Clemson Head Coach

“I have him (Spiller) as the 12th-highest rated player on the Big Board. He’s go-ing to test out as one of the fastest players in the draft. Maybe run a 4.28 range. I think he’s the top guy for the Heisman right now. If I had to give it out today, I give it to him. The fact that Clemson beat Miami gives them more credibility. They’ve put up big points the last two weeks. They have a game this week that they should rout. He should end up with outstanding numbers from an all-purpose yardage stand-point.

“If you’re going for the best offensive player in college, Spiller catches, runs and returns...Spiller’s numbers have superceded everybody.”Mel Kiper , ESPN

“He woke everybody up on Saturday. He’s the most explosive player in college football.”Tony Barnhart, College Sports Television

“Its almost prerequisite that Heisman Trophy candidates must be with a team that’s in the conversation for the national title as well. That changes as of this past week. It makes that big of a difference that he did it against a team like Miami on the road. He catapults into the conversation based on that.” Tim Brando, CBS Sports

“Spiller was on the (Heisman) list for two weeks earlier in the season, and he returns after a dynamic all-around performance that helped knock off the Hurri-canes. All game he showed off his game-breaking speed -- on a first-quarter catch out of the backfield, on the 90-yard kickoff return (he went untouched), on a long TD reception in the third quarter and on a long run in the fourth quarter that set up Clemson on Miami’s 15-yard line. His 310 all-purpose yards set a new Tigers record. Amazingly, Spiller has a play of at least 60 yards in each of Clemson’s seven games. He is 2005 Reggie Bush Lite, without the hype.”Gene Menez, SI.com

“He’s good. He’s one of the fastest and most athletic guys they have. He’s real good. That’s all I can tell you.”Randy Shannon, Miami (FL) Head Coach

“When you talk about Clemson’s offense, you have to talk about C.J. Spiller. He’s a Heisman candidate. He is great when it comes to kickoff and punt returns. He’s a big play guy with great speed. He’s a guy you have to know where he is at all times.”Ralph Friedgen, Maryland Head Coach

“C.J. Spiller is one of the most unbelievable running backs I’ve ever played against. I’d be interested to find a handful of running backs that are as talented as him in the country.”Riley Skinner, Wake Forest Quarterback

“A guy like Spiller can change the game.”Jim Ramella, Boston College defensive end

“On offense they have C.J. Spiller, who can go the distance any time he touches the ball.”Paul Johnson, Georgia Tech Head Coach

“Heisman Trophy candidate C.J. Spiller is as fast and elusive as there is in college football.”Rick Stockstill, Middle Tennessee Head Coach

“Against Miami on the kickoff return (for touchdown) someone clocked Spiller at 28 miles per hour. I talked with our police chief, David Roper, and he said they have some suped up golf carts and they don’t even go 28 miles per hour.”David Bennett, Head Coach Coastal Carolina.

“For the second time in three weeks, Spiller had more than 300 all-purpose yards. He surpassed the 3,000-yard mark with 3,074 career rushing yards. Against Florida State, he earned his first two-point conversion of his career. He breaks a re-cord literally almost every week. Against FSU he became just the second player in school history to go over 3,000 yards rushing and 1,000 yards receiving. He moved ahead of Reggie Bush on the all-time NCAA all-purpose list with 6,702 yards. He rushed for a career-high 165 yards, and had his 20th career touchdown of 50 yards more, his eighth this season. Spiller is one of the best players in college football. Period.”Heather Dinich, ESPN.com

C.J. Spiller took the opening kickoff of the season back 96 yards for a touchdown and Clemson never looked back in its 37-14 victory over Middle Tennessee at Memorial Stadium on September 5. It was the second-ever meeting between the two schools and featured former Tiger assistant coach and current Blue Raider Head Coach Rick Stockstill on the opposing sideline. After a 68-yard fumble return by Chris McCoy early in the second quarter cut Clemson’s lead to 10-7, the Tigers added 20 points to take a 30-7 halftime lead, highlighted by Jacoby Ford’s 61-yard punt return for a touchdown and 43-yard receiving score. It was only the second time in school history that the Tigers had a kickoff return and punt return for a touchdown in one game. Kyle Parker, Clemson’s first freshman quarterback to start a season-opener since 1945, was 9-20 for 159 yards and two scores. Ford (190) and Spiller (171) each had over 170 all-purpose yards, while Spiller earned ACC Specialist-of-the-Week honors. Brandon Maye had one of Clemson’s three interceptions and added a team-tying-high 14 tackles, a tackle-for-loss, and caused fumble to earn ACC Defensive Lineman-of-the-Week honors.

The #13 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets jumped out to a 24-0 lead and overcame a furious pcomeback in their 30-27 win over Clemson at Bobby Dodd Stadium on September 10. The Tigers scored 27 consecutive points only to have Scott Blair kick the game-winning 36-yard field goal with 57 seconds left. Georgia Tech used an 82-yard touchdown run, an 85-yard punt return for a score, and a 34-yard touchdown pass on a fake field goal to take an early lead. But the Tigers stormed back to take a 27-24 lead in the fourth quarter, highlighted by Kyle Parker’s 77-yard touchdown pass to Jacoby Ford in the third quarter. Richard Jackson later booted a 53-yard field goal to put Clemson ahead by three points early in the fourth quarter. With the score tied and just over three minutes left, Parker hit Ford on third-and-11 for a would-be 38-yard pass to the Georgia Tech 18, but the Tigers were flagged for holding. The Yellow Jackets took over and set up the game-winning field goal. Parker was named ACC Rookie-of-the-Week after passing for 261 yards and three touchdowns. Ford added five catches for 109 yards and C.J. Spiller totaled 234 all-purpose yards.

Richard Jackson tied a school record with six field goals and Clemson limited Boston College to just 54 yards of total offense in the Tigers’ 25-7 win at Memorial Stadium on September 19. On a rainy afternoon, the Tigers held their opponent to the fewest yards since 1963. The game was delayed twice for a total of 103 minutes due to lightning as well. C.J. Spiller scored the game’s only touchdown on a 77-yard punt return in the first quarter. He totaled 225 all-purpose yards. Jackson was a perfect 6-6 on field goals and accounted for 19 of Clemson’s 25 points. His long boot was 52 yards during a steady rain, as he earned ACC Specialist-of-the-Week honors and won the Leather Helmet Award as the game MVP. Meanwhile, Clemson’s defense held the Eagles to four first downs, 29 rushing yards on 28 carries, and 5-21 passing for 25 yards. Boston College’s only score came on a 13-yard pass on the play after a Tiger fumble. The Eagles, who were 1-12 on third down, also had just one drive that lasted more than four plays. Ricky Sapp was named ACC Defensive Lineman-of-the-Week with three tackles for loss and two sacks. Rashard Hall, DeAndre McDaniel, and Jonathan Meeks each added an interception.

Andy Dalton had 312 yards of total offense to lead #14 Texas Christian to a 14-10 win over Clemson at Memorial Stadium on September 26. It was the first meeting between the two in 44 years. Dalton was 17-26 for 226 yards and two scores, including the game-winner in the fourth quarter, and had 86 rushing yards. The Horned Frogs amassed 388 yards of offense, but they had just two offensive snaps inside the Tiger 25 thanks to Clem-son’s defense. The game did not feature a turnover by either squad despite heavy rain falling during most of the second half. After the Tigers drove 72 yards on the game’s opening possession, they stalled and settled for a field goal. The Horned Frogs responded with a 91-yard drive that ended in Curtis Clay’s six-yard touchdown catch. The drive was kept alive by a 58-yard pass to Ed Wesley on third-and-13 that was deflected at the line of scrimmage and was not even intended for Wesley. Clemson regained the lead with 33 seconds left in the sec-ond quarter when C.J. Spiller rushed for a one-yard score. Three plays earlier, Spiller’s 60-yard catch from Kyle Parker set up the score that gave Clemson a 10-7 halftime lead. Spiller rushed for 112 yards and had three receptions for 79 yards in the game. After a scoreless third quarter, Antoine Hicks hauled in a 25-yard touchdown catch early in the fourth quarter. Clemson answered with a 59-yard drive, but Richard Jackson’s 34-yard field-goal try sailed wide-left. The Tigers regained possession with 6:52 remaining and again drove 59 yards, but Parker’s pass in the endzone on fourth-and-13 fell incomplete with 1:55 left.

Maryland scored 17 points in the second quarter to take the lead and held on to defeat Clemson 24-21 at Byrd Stadium on October 3. The Tigers took a 10-0 lead in the first quarter, but the Terrapins mounted two touchdown drives of 76 and 81 yards in the second quarter and never relinquished the lead. Jacoby Ford gave Clemson a 10-0 lead when he scored on a 17-yard reverse. Chris Turner’s 29-yard touchdown pass to Torrey Smith cut Clemson’s lead to 13-10, then Maryland marched down the field on its next drive and scored on Turner’s four-yard pass to Ronnie Tyler with 35 seconds left in the second quarter. Maryland upped its lead to 24-13 in the third quarter thanks in part to Tony Logan’s 43-yard punt return to the Tiger one. Three plays later, Davin Meggett scored on a one-yard touchdown run. However, C.J. Spiller, who became the ACC’s all-time leader in career all-purpose yards in the game, returned the ensuing kickoff 92 yards for a touchdown after breaking several tackles and losing a shoe in Tiger territory. But Clemson was unable to capitalize on three drives inside the Maryland 31 in the fourth quarter and fell by three points.

Clemson held Wake Forest to its fewest yards under Head Coach Jim Grobe in the Tigers’ 38-3 victory at Memorial Stadium on October 17. The Tigers held the Demon Deacons’ potent of-fense in check, allowing just 178 yards while tallying five sacks and 12 tackles for loss, including three by Da’Quan Bowers. DeAndre McDaniel had one of two Tiger interceptions and was named ACC Defensive Back-of-the-Week for his efforts. He was a big reason Wake Forest’s longest play was only 19 yards. Meanwhile, Clemson’s offense was efficient, as it scored on all five of its red-zone possessions with four touchdowns. The Tigers, who jumped out to a 31-3 halftime lead, totaled 382 yards, including 195 rushing and 187 passing, and 6.7 yards per play. C.J. Spiller rushed for 106 yards on nine carries, including scores of 66 and 14 yards. Kyle Parker was 10-17 passing for 132 yards and a touchdown along with a rushing score, while Michael Palmer had a game-high four catches for 49 yards and a score.

Seven different Tigers accounted for Clemson’s seven touchdowns in its 49-3 Homecoming win over Coastal Carolina on a rainy afternoon at Memorial Stadium on October 31. It was the first-ever meeting between the two schools. The Tigers broke the game open with 14 points in the sec-ond quarter, highlighted by Jacoby Ford’s 23-yard touchdown pass to Xavier Dye. Ford, who earlier caught a touchdown pass, became the first Tiger to throw and catch a touchdown in one game since 1950. Clemson scored four more touchdowns in the third quarter, including a 55-yard scoring run by Andre Ellington, who had 88 yards on only six carries. Jamie Harper added 76 yards and a touchdown for the Tigers, who averaged 6.8 yards per carry. Meanwhile, the Tiger defense did not allow the Chanticleers, whose longest offensive play was 15 yards, to snap the ball in Tiger territory until the fourth quarter. Freshman Corico Hawkins had a team-high eight tackles and both of Clemson’s sacks.

January 1, 1940Cotton Bowl • Dallas, TX

Jess Neely’s last Clemson team won eight games in the regular season with just one loss to a Tulane team that would finish the season with an 8-1-1 record and #5 ranking by the Associated Press. The 8-1 Tigers were rewarded with an invitation to play Boston College in the fourth Cotton Bowl, but Clemson first had to get permission from the Southern Conference, which they immediately granted. The 1939 season not only resulted in Clemson’s first bowl appearance, but also the Tigers’ first, First-Team Associated Press All-American, Banks McFadden. On the last play of the first quarter, Bru Trexler punted to Boston College’s Charlie O’Rourke, who fielded the punt on the Clemson 40 and returned it to the 13. Two running plays lost 10 yards, but on third down Frank Davis gained six. Alex Lukachik then kicked a 34-yard field goal to put the Eagles up, 3-0. Clemson’s scoring drive began when McFadden returned a punt to the 33. Charlie Timmons rushed for 15 yards in two plays, and two plays after that, McFad-den hit Wister Jackson with a 16-yard pass to the Eagle 20. Timmons ran the final 20 yards in three carries, but Shad Bryant missed the extra point.

Later in the quarter, a 51-yard punt by Mc-Fadden started Boston College at its 20. The Eagles fumbled on first down and Clemson’s George Fritts recovered at the 24. The Tigers

could do nothing with the gift, however, as Joe Blalock fumbled after a short pass. The game turned into a defensive struggle in the second half, although Boston College did penetrate deep into Clemson territory on two occasions. The Eagles took the opening kickoff to the Clemson 19, but a holding penalty and an incomplete pass ended the threat and BC was forced to punt. Late in the game, the Eagles drove to the Clemson 11 yard line, but Bryant and McFadden each broke up two passes and Clemson took over possession on downs. McFadden effectively bottled up the Eagles other than those drives with his punting. His 44-yard average on 11 kicks, including two boots for 51 and 55 yards in the second half, prevented Boston College from getting good field position, and the Clemson defense made the 6-3 score stand.

Clemson opened the 1948 season with a 53-0 shutout of Presbyterian in the Tigers’ first-ever night home game and they closed the regular season with a 20-0 blanking of The Citadel in the first game played at the Bulldogs’ Johnson Hagood Stadium. In between, the Tigers shut out three more opponents and beat five others on the way to a 10-0 record, a #11 ranking in the polls, and an invitation to play Missouri in the fourth Gator Bowl. Clemson kicked off, but three plays later Missouri fumbled and Clemson’s Bob Martin recovered at the 19. A pass interference call gave Clemson the ball at the one, and Fred Cone scored from there. Jack Miller added the point. Ray Mathews recovered a Missouri fumble later in the quarter to give Clemson the ball at its 35. Mathews took the next play for 26 yards and five plays later Bobby Gage passed to Martin for 19 more. Cone scored for the second time from the one, and Miller’s conversion gave the Southern Conference champs a 14-0 lead. After a kickoff, Missouri launched an 80-yard drive to score its first touchdown. Harold Entsminger capped the 13-play march with a quarterback sneak. Gage was intercepted on the next Clemson drive and

Wilbur Volz returned the theft to the Missouri 46. Missouri kept the ball on the ground and Entsminger carried over from the one for the score. Dawson added his second point after

and the game was tied up at 14. Clemson took the second-half kickoff and used up six minutes of clock on the way to its third touchdown. Gage ran and passed for 19 yards on two separate plays and the Tigers scored on a flea-flicker pass from Cone to Gage to John Poulos. Miller completed the 80-yard drive with his third PAT. A Missouri punt rolled dead at the Clemson one, and after an incomplete pass, Gage threw a pass that hit the ground in the end zone and was ruled a safety. Clemson’s lead was then cut to 21-16. Clemson then launched an 11-play surge to the Mis-souri 12. Miller kicked a 32-yard field goal that would prove to be the winning points. Dave Ashley returned the kickoff to the Missouri 40, and seven plays later, Richard Braznell passed to Ken-neth Bounds for a 20-yard touchdown. Dawson added the point to bring Missouri within one point with five minutes left. Clemson took the kickoff and ran out the clock to preserve the win.

Clemson’s bid for a repeat of the 1948 perfect season ended when the Tigers had to rely on the toe of Charlie Radcliff to tie South Carolina after three season-opening shutouts. Clemson regrouped, however, with a 13-12 win at Wake Forest and then won the remaining four games by convincing margins. The Tigers’ 8-0-1 mark and second-place finish in the Southern Conference earned them a bid to play Miami (FL), who was also undefeated at 9-0-1, in the 17th Orange Bowl. After a scoreless first quarter, Clemson got on track with a 45-yard pass from Billy Hair to Bob Hudson that put the Tigers at the Miami one. Fred Cone capped the 76-yard drive with a sweep for the score and Radcliff tacked on the extra point. Clemson mounted a six-play, 70-yard drive in the third quarter for its second touchdown. Hair threw a 31-yard pass to Ray Mathews, who, as the papers said, “made a circus catch with two men on his back,” to move the Tigers to the Miami 28. Hair tossed a pass to Glenn Smith at the Miami seven and Smith scrambled in for the score. Miami caught fire two minutes later when Jack Delbello intercepted a pass in the Clemson end zone

and returned it to the 40, and then a 10-yard penalty was assessed the Tigers for unneces-sary roughness. On the next play, Frank Smith ran a reverse for 45 yards to move to the Clemson

five. Harry Mallios took a pitch from quarterback Bob Schneidenbach in for the score and Gordon Watson added the conversion. Miami drove 95 yards in just five plays for its second score of the game. Ed Lutes caught a pass at midfield and rambled down to the Clemson 17 before he was stopped. On fourth down, Jack Hackett threw to Frank Smith for the score and Watson’s point put Miami in the lead for the first time, 14-13. Mallios’ 80-yard punt return was called back and two clipping infractions along with one unnecessary roughness penalty put Miami in a deep hole with six minutes left in the game. Frank Smith took a pitch-out from Hackett, but before Smith could get out of the end zone, Sterling Smith, a second-team defensive guard for Clemson, tripped him up for a safety, and Clemson led 15-14. Don Wade ended the last Miami threat with an interception, his second of the game, and Clemson ran out the clock.

Clemson won the first three games of the 1951 season as well as the last four. In between, however, the Tigers dropped games to Pacific and South Carolina on the road. The Gator Bowl Committee invited Clemson with its 7-2 record to play Miami (FL) in a rematch of the 1951 Orange Bowl, but the Southern Conference had decided to ban its teams from any bowl competition that season. Clemson and Maryland accepted bowl bids anyway, and were prohibited from playing any other conference team except each other the next year. The Tigers opened the game with a bang as Billy Hair took Elmer Tremont’s kickoff and returned it 72 yards to the Miami 26, but Clemson could only make six yards in four downs and the Tigers turned the ball over. After an exchange of punts, Miami mounted an 82-yard drive to score the game’s first touchdown. The drive was highlighted by quarterback Jack Hackett’s only two passes of the game - a 15-yarder to Frank McDonald and a 40-yard throw to Ed Lutes. Two plays later, fullback Harry Mallios took the pitch and ran 11 yards for the score. Tremont added the extra point and Miami led, 7-0. Miami defensive back Jim Dooley intercepted the

first of four passes to kill the Clemson drive at the Miami 15. His interception total is still an NCAA record for an individual in a bowl game. Clemson got the ball back after a punt,

but on fourth down, defensive end Leo Martin blocked Hair’s punt at the Clemson 32. Mallios converted twice on fourth down to keep the drive going, and he scored from two yards out. Tremont converted again and Miami had all the points it needed. The Clemson defense turned stingy in the second half, as the Tigers did not allow Miami to penetrate their 35 and the Hurricanes did not gain another first down. Miami finished the game with just five first downs and 174 yards of total offense, yet won the game. The Clemson offense moved well, but a fumble at the Miami 18 and three Dooley interceptions inside the 20 kept Clemson off the scoreboard, as Miami handed the Tigers their first bowl loss in history.

Clemson claimed its first Atlantic Coast Conference championship in 1956 on the strength of a 4-0-1 league mark. The Tigers were 7-1-2 overall and were a surprise choice to participate in the 22nd Orange Bowl, as only three weeks before their selection, the Tigers had been shut out by Miami, 21-0, in the same stadium. Colorado, which was 7-2-1 and the Big-Seven runnerup, was chosen as Clemson’s opponent. After a scoreless first quarter, Colorado got on track with a seven-play, 75-yard drive. The Buffaloes’ catalyst was a 26-yard run by Bob Stransky that moved the ball to the Clemson 23. Four plays later, John “The Beast” Bayuk scored from the two. Ellwin Indorf added the point after. Clemson came out of the lockerroom and marched 69 yards in 15 plays to score on Joel Wells’s three-yard run. After a punt, Clemson moved to the 29 on Bob Spooner’s two runs. Three plays later, Wells ran 58 yards on a counter trap off the belly series for the Tigers’ second score. Bussey’s point after made the score 20-14 Colorado. Clemson recovered the onside kick, but the Tigers were forced to punt. Colorado then fumbled at its

11 and Tommy Sease recovered. Spooner, who had been the work-horse on the first scoring drive, carried the ball in from the one, and with Bussey’s third extra point, Clemson led for

the first time at 21-20. Although leading, Bussey attempted a second onside kick. Colorado recovered and marched 53 yards in eight plays to go ahead for good on Bayuk’s one-yard plunge. Indorf kicked the extra point and the Buffaloes led, 27-21. The two teams traded turnovers, and Colorado ran out the clock. Frank Howard’s threatened resignation during halftime inspired the comeback in the second half. “I told them I was going to resign if they didn’t play bet-ter in the second half. I told them I didn’t want to be associated with any team that played like that.” When Howard met Colorado Head Coach Dal Ward at midfield, Ward asked him what was the matter with his team. Howard said “I just don’t know.” Later, Howard explained that his team refused to block in the first half, but in the second half, they got down to business. He had words of praise for John Bayuk, Colorado’s fullback, and said he was as good as any fullback that Clemson had faced.

South Carolina, who had been shut out by Clemson the previous two years, scored 20 second half points to take a 26-6 win over Frank Howard’s 1958 team. The only other blemish on the ACC Champions’ 8-2 regular season record was a 13-0 loss at Georgia Tech. For their efforts, the Tigers were invited to play the nation’s number-one team, Louisiana State, in the 25th Sugar Bowl. Louisiana State drove deep into Clemson territory three times in the first half, but two fumbles and a thwarted fake field goal killed the drives. Clemson could do no better, though, as none of its first six drives went past midfield. Clemson moved to the Louisiana State 27 yard line on its first drive of the second half, but a fumble gave the ball back to the other set of Tigers. On Clemson’s next possession, Louisiana State got the break it had been looking for. On fourth down, the ball slipped out of snapper Paul Snyder’s hands and hit up-man Doug Cline in the leg and Duane Leopard recovered for Louisiana State at the Clemson 11. Louisiana State picked up two yards on its first three tries, but on fourth down halfback Billy Cannon hit tight end Mickey Mangham in the corner of the endzone for

the only score of the game. Cannon kicked the extra point and Louisiana State led 7-0. Clemson had one last chance late in the fourth quarter. The Tigers started at their 17

and 17 plays later were on the Louisiana State 28, but Harvey White’s fourth-down pass to George Usry was incomplete. Louisiana State took over on downs and ran out the clock. In his usual relaxed way, Coach Frank Howard of Clemson said he was pleased with his team. “Hell! I think we’d have beat them if that boy had held onto that little screen pass,” Howard said. “I was going for those two points and beat them. I didn’t think we would hold them to one touchdown, but I didn’t think they would shut us out, either. “Louisiana State has a good team, they rate the #1 spot in the nation. Cannon is quite a boy. Deserves his All-American rating.” “It was a wonderful victory. They’re just as fine when you win ‘em, 7-0 as 30-0. I’m very happy that we won,” said Louisiana State Coach Paul Dietzel, who won the national championship at age 34. “Clemson proved tougher than most people figured. But we knew we would have to play at our top peak to beat them. They were a good team.”

The 1959 season was one of firsts, lasts, and other milestones. Clemson won the last “Big Thursday” game with archrival South Carolina, 27-0, one of five opponents theTigers would whitewash, the second-highest shutout total in a Clemson season. The 9-2 team was Clemson’s third ACC Championship unit, and Frank Howard’s last bowl team. After the season-ending win over Furman, Clemson was invited to play Texas Christian in the inaugural Bluebonnet Bowl, which would be the Tigers’ second post-season appearance in the calendar year of 1959. The 23-7 win over the Horned Frogs was Clemson’s 300th football victory. Alternate quarterback Lowndes Shingler guided Clemson on a 12-play, 63-yard drive to the Texas Christian five yard line, but the Tigers stalled. Lon Armstrong hit on a 22-yard field goal as the second quarter started, to put Clemson up, 3-0. Not to be outdone, Texas Christian second-stringer Donald George moved his team on a 12-play, 63-yard drive to the endzone. The Horned Frogs scored the go-ahead touchdown on a 19-yard halfback pass from Jack Reding to Harry Moreland.

Neither team scored in the third quarter, but Clemson did drive to the Texas Christian 29 midway through the period. Harvey White’s fourth-down pass to George Usry was just

one yard short of the needed first down and Texas Christian took over. Clemson got pass-happy in the final 15 minutes and scored two touchdowns for a comfortable lead. With a third-and-18 situation at its own 32, White threw to Gary Barnes, who caught the ball at midfield and sprinted in for a score. After an interception, Shingler threw to Tommy King coming across the middle for a 23-yard touchdown, but Shingler’s point after was wide, and Clemson led, 16-7. Clemson returned to its running game for its final scoring drive late in the quarter. Shingler, Doug Daigneault, and Ron Scrudato moved the Tigers from their 37 to the Texas Christian one and Scrudato ran off right tackle for six. Armstrong’s kick put the game out of Texas Christian’s reach. The win over the #7 Horned Frogs was the highest-ranked bowl win in Tiger history at the time and is still third-best all-time, trailing only the win over #4 Nebraska in the 1982 Orange Bowl and the win over #6 Tennessee in the 2004 Peach Bowl.

Clemson resurfaced in the national spotlight in 1977 after winning eight games and making its first bowl appearance in 18 years. First-year coach Charley Pell guided his team to a 7-6 win at Georgia, a near-upset of eventual National Champion Notre Dame at home, and came within an extra point of claiming the ACC Championship. After Jerry Butler’s twisting, diving catch in the end zone beat South Carolina, Clemson accepted the invitation to play defending National Champion Pittsburgh in the 33rd annual Gator Bowl. Clemson won the opening coin toss, but that was to be the only thing the Tigers would win that night as the Matt Cavanaugh-led Panthers scored six of the 12 times they had the ball, set seven Gator Bowl records, and handed the Tigers one of their 25 worst defeats in history with a 34-3 score. Cavanaugh threw four touchdown passes (three to fullback Elliott Walker), passed for a Clemson opponent record 387 yards and accounted for 402 yards in total offense. Pitt set a Gator Bowl team record for passing yards and first downs, while Cavanaugh set the individual mark for passing yardage. If that was not enough, the Pittsburgh defense stymied the Clemson offense all night

by keeping Steve Fuller & Company bottled up or causing turnovers when the Tigers’ offense did get on track. Pittsburgh was lead-ing 17-0 when the Tigers began their only scoring

drive early in the second quarter. Fuller mixed passes to Anthony King and Butler with runs by Ken Callicutt to move to the Pittsburgh 32. The drive bogged down and Obed Ariri hit on a 49-yard field goal which set the Gator Bowl record for distance. Fuller led Clemson on offense with 192 yards. He had been named ACC Player-of-the-Year as a junior. Randy Scott (13), Mark Heniford (13), and Bubba Brown led the Tiger defense with double-figure tackle totals. Although the Tigers were out-classed by the Pan-thers, the 1977 appearance in the Gator Bowl was the start of a new era of football pride for Clemson.

The 1978 Clemson team was notable for many reasons, and not the least of which was a 17-15 win over Ohio State in the Gator Bowl. The team won 11 games (eight by convincing margins), had the nation’s longest winning streak after the bowl game, changed head coaches 19 days before the bowl, and ended the coaching career of Woody Hayes. The first quarter of new Clemson head coach Danny Ford’s first game was scoreless. The second quarter was unusual in that there were four possessions in the stanza and each team scored twice. Ohio State drove to the Clemson nine on the passing of Art Schlichter, but the Buckeyes had to settle for Bob Atha’s 27-yard field goal. Quarterback Steve Fuller engineered an impressive 80-yard, 15-play drive after the kickoff. Staying mostly on the ground, Fuller ran around left end from four yards out to give Clemson the lead. Schlichter duplicated Fuller’s feat nine plays later, but Clemson right end Steve Gibbs blocked Vlade Janakiewski’s extra point try. Clemson got the ball back with 1:15 remaining in the quarter and Fuller passed his way to the Buckeye 30.

With only five seconds left, Ariri hit a 47-yard field goal that gave the Tigers a 10-9 lead at halftime. Clemson scored the only points of the third quarter as the running

combination of Fuller, Marvin Sims, and Warren Ratch-ford ground out 83 yards in 18 plays. Cliff Austin went the final yard for the score, and Ariri’s conversion gave Clemson a 17-9 cushion. With 8:11 left in the game, Schlichter scored his second touchdown to bring Ohio State within two points. Jim Stuckey tackled Schlichter on a sweep to prevent the two-point play, and Clemson led 17-15. Ohio State mounted one final drive. Faced with third-and-five at the Clemson 24, an interception by second-team middle guard Charlie Bauman (the only theft of his four-year career) killed the drive. Bauman was forced out-of-bounds on the Ohio State sideline, and Buckeye coach Woody Hayes swung at the Clemson player. Consecutive unsportsmanlike conduct penalties gave Clemson excellent field position, and Fuller was able to run out the clock, giving Clemson its first win over a Big Ten team. Bubba Brown led the Clemson defense with 22 tackles, still a school record for tackles in a bowl game. Jim Stuckey added 10 tackles.

Clemson made its third consecutive bowl appear-ance in 1979 after an 8-3 season. The year included a 19-10 win over Gator Bowl-bound North Carolina and a dramatic, come-from-behind 16-10 victory at Notre Dame. The 1979 season was also Danny Ford’s first full campaign as head coach. The Tigers got on the board first with an eight-play, 66-yard drive highlighted by Billy Lott’s 27-yard pass to Lester Brown. Brown scored two plays later on a one-yard dive over the middle and Obed Ariri’s point after made the score 7-0 midway through the first period. Baylor took the lead on two second-quarter touch-down passes from Mike Brannon to Bo Taylor and Robert Holt. Robert Bledsoe converted after both scores and the Southwest Conference representatives led 14-7 at intermission. Clemson took the second half kickoff and a com-bination of runs by Lott, Brown, and Tracy Perry took the Tigers to the Baylor 22. The drive stalled there and Ariri’s 40-yard field goal narrowed the margin to 14-10. Quarterback Mickey Elam led Baylor on a 64-yard field goal drive after the kickoff, and he later threw a seven-yard touchdown to Raymond Cockrell to push

the Bears’ lead to 24-10. Mike Singletary (fu-ture All-Pro with the Chicago Bears), led the Baylor defense with 20 tackles. He was a major reason Clemson gained a season low 67 yards

rushing in 51 attempts. Andy Headen began Clemson’s furious comeback with a blocked punt that was recovered by James Rob-inson at the Baylor one. Chuck McSwain scored with 20 seconds left in the game and Lott passed to Jeff McCall for the two-point conversion. Headen recovered the ensuing onside kick, and Lott completed a 30-yard pass to Perry Tuttle to move the Tigers to the Baylor 33. An interception killed the winning touchdown drive, however, and Baylor ran out the remaining seconds for the win.

After 86 years of playing football, Clemson claimed its first National Championship with a 22-15 win over perennial Big Eight power Nebraska in the 48th Orange Bowl. After a 13-3 win over 1980 National Champion Georgia at home, the Tigers worked their way to the number-one ranking in both wire service polls by sea-son’s end. The win over the Cornhuskers gave Clemson the national title and its third perfect season in history. Nebraska took the kickoff, but three plays later, William Devane recovered a Mark Mauer fumble at the Nebraska 33. Quarterback Homer Jordan drove Clemson to the Nebraska 24 before the drive stalled, and Donald Igwebuike made a 41-yard field goal to put the ACC Champions up 3-0. Nebraska came right back, however, as the Big Eight titleholder drove 69 yards in eight plays to score on a 25-yard halfback pass from Mike Rozier to Anthony Steels. Kevin Seibel’s extra point gave Nebraska a 7-3 lead in the first quarter After an exchange of punts, the Clemson offense moved from the Nebraska 42 yard line to the 21 to set up Igwebuike’s second field goal. The 37-yard boot narrowed the score to 7-6. A second-quarter Phil Bates fumble gave Clemson the ball at the Nebraska 27, and the running combina-tion of Jordan, Kevin Mack, and Cliff Austin moved the ball to the Cornhusker two. Austin, who had been stuck in the hotel elevator for two hours earlier in the day, scampered in for the score that gave Clemson a lead it

would not relinquish. On its second pos-session of the second half, Clemson drove 75 yards in 12 plays to score its final touchdown of the night, a 13-yard pass from Jordan to

All-American receiver Perry Tuttle in the corner of the end zone. It was Tuttle’s eighth touchdown grab of the season, which set a school record. Bob Paulling’s extra point put the Tigers ahead, 19-7. After Billy Davis’s 47-yard punt return, Jordan moved the Tigers to the Nebraska 20, where Igwebuike kicked a 36-yard field goal, his third of the evening, to put Clemson ahead 22-7 with two-and-a half minutes left in the third stanza. Nebraska was down but not out, though. After a near-interception by Johnny Rembert, Mauer engi-neered an eight-play, 69-yard drive that was capped by a 26-yard run by Roger Craig. After a penalty, Craig ran in the two-point conversion from eight yards out to close the gap to 22-15 with nine minutes to play. The Clemson defense shut down the Big Red on their final extended drive, then the offense held on to the ball for nearly five-and-a-half minutes to run down the clock to six seconds. Andy Headen deflected Mauer’s desperation pass to preserve the win and the championship for Clemson. Jeff Davis led the Tiger defense with 14 tackles in his final game. He also recovered a fumble, giving him a school-record eight for his career. Bill Smith added a career-high 10 tackles from his defensive end position.

Notes on Clemson’s 1981 National Championship Team


Clemson met a Big Ten school for only the second time in history when it faced Minnesota in the Indepen-dence Bowl. It was an interesting matchup of teams that enjoyed moving the ball on the ground, as both clubs gained over 200 rushing yards in the contest. The team with the higher rushing total prevailed, a fact that was easily predictable, as the Gophers churned out 257 yards rushing in a 20-13 Minnesota win. Minnesota was coached by John Gutekunst, who had taken over for Lou Holtz at the end of the regular season. Holtz had resigned in December to become head coach at Notre Dame. Clemson held a 13-10 lead heading into the fourth quarter, but for the fifth time in the last 13 games the Tigers could not hold the fourth-period lead. Valdez Baylor scored on a one-yard run with 4:56 left to give Minnesota a final ledger of 7-5. Clemson mounted a final drive in the last few minutes and advanced to the Minnesota 31, but a fourth-down pass for Ray Williams was overthrown. Ricky Foggie, a native of South Carolina, led the Golden Gophers with 183 yards of total offense. Kenny Flowers had another outstanding day for the

Tigers with a career high 148 yards, including a 32-yard run. It was his seventh 100-yard day of the year, his sixth century game in the last seven contests. Ray Williams caught

five passes for 58 yards, while Terrance Roulhac had 63 yards in receptions and 90 yards in kickoff returns. Another wide receiver, Keith Jennings, scored Clemson’s only touchdown when he caught a three-yard pass from running back Stacey Driver in the third period. Henry Walls led Clemson defensively with 13 tackles, while A.J. Johnson was outstanding in the secondary with seven stops. Dwayne Meadows established a career high with 13 stops from his defensive line position.

Christmas came two days late for the Tigers as they won their first bowl since the 1982 Orange Bowl. After a brilliant first half display of offense and defense, Clem-son managed to hold off a second-half Stanford rally and go on to defeat the 17th-ranked Cardinal, 27-21. Before a Gator Bowl crowd of 80,104, the Tigers scored 27 unanswered points in the first half and appeared to be on the way to a rout. But the second half was a dif-ferent ball game as Stanford came out strong and put up 21 unanswered points of its own. Gator Bowl MVP Rodney Williams completed 8-11 passes in the first half, but it was his execution of the option that helped Clemson gain a 27-0 halftime lead. After punting on their first possession, the Tigers scored on their next five. With the score 17-0 in the second quarter, Reggie Harris knocked the ball loose on a Stanford kickoff return and the Tigers recovered on Stanford’s 16-yard line. Two plays later, Ray Williams took a reverse in for a 14-yard touchdown, his first of the season. David Treadwell added his longest field goal of the year (46) on Clemson’s next possession, putting the Tigers up 27-0 at the intermission. But the Cardinal came back from halftime a different

team. Kodak All-Ameri-can tailback Brad Muster rushed for a touchdown and caught two scor-ing passes while the Clemson offense came to a standstill. With 1:43 left to play in the game

Clemson was forced to punt to the Cardinal with only a touchdown’s lead. But the Tiger defense rose to the occasion, as Stanford gained only six yards on the next four downs. The offense fell on the ball to run the clock out and the Tigers emerged victorious. Tailbacks Terrence Flagler and Kenny Flowers com-bined for 149 yards. Sophomore Ricardo Hooper led the receiving corps with two catches for 44 yards. Terrance Roulhac and Flagler each had three catches with 22 and 23 yards, respectively. Rodney Williams rushed 16 times for 18 yards and one touchdown. Defensively, the Tigers were led by linebacker Henry Carter who recorded a career-high 13 tackles. Gene Beasley added seven tackles and broke up two passes. The game also marked Michael Dean Perry’s offensive debut, as he was put in as a blocking back on a goal-line situation in the first half.

Everything went the Tigers way in sunny Florida as Clemson soundly defeated Joe Paterno’s Penn State team by the score of 35-10. It is still the largest margin of defeat for a Joe Paterno-coached football team. Rodney Williams was selected the Citrus Bowl’s Most Valuable Player as he led the Tigers in a brilliant air at-tack that took the Nittany Lions by complete surprise, and complemented it with a solid ground game. The win was Danny Ford’s fourth bowl victory in only nine seasons as Clemson’s head coach. It also marked Rodney Williams’ second bowl victory in his three-year playing career at Clemson and the second consecutive year that he was named the MVP of a postseason bowl. In 1986, Williams won the honor as the Tigers defeated Stanford in the Gator Bowl. Williams, who was also named the Offensive Player-of-the-Game, completed 14 of 24 passes for 214 yards. His primary target was wide receiver Keith Jennings, who hauled in seven passes for 110 yards, his best career performance. Wideout Gary Cooper also added four receptions for 56 yards against Penn State. The Tigers rushed for 285 yards against Penn State to go with the 214 yards passing. It was the first bowl

The Tigers rang in the New Year in fine fashion with a 13-6 victory over the Oklahoma Sooners, moving into the top-10 of the final AP poll for the first time since 1982 with a #9 ranking. The victory also gave Danny Ford a victory over the winningest active coach in Division I, Barry Switzer. Ford defeated the top-three winningest active coaches the decade, with wins over Switzer, Tom Osborne (Nebraska), and Joe Paterno (Penn State). Although the Tigers faced a wishbone offense for the first time since Ford became head coach, the Clemson defense came through with flying colors, holding the Sooners to only 116 yards, and no touchdowns on the ground. The game was a defensive struggle, as the two teams failed to combine for 500 yards of total offense, The first five series of the first quarter ended in punts for both teams. Late in the period, the Sooners drove down to the Clemson one-yardline, and the Tigers defense faced a first-and-goal situation. Outside linebacker Levon Kirkland stopped the ballcarrier for no gain on first down. On second down Jesse Hatcher sacked Jamelle Holieway at the 19. After an incomplete pass, the Sooners were forced to settle for a field goal.

game in which Clemson had at least 200 yards passing and 200 yards rushing. Terry Allen was the leading rusher with 105 yards and one touchdown. Fullback Tracy Johnson ran for 88

yards and three touchdowns. Joe Henderson added 54 yards on the ground and another touchdown. Defensively, Clemson was led by cornerback James Lott’s eight tackles. Safety Richard Smith also had seven tackles and one pass broken up. Strong safety Gene Beasley and linebacker Doug Brewster both had six tackles. Linebacker Dorian Mariable was selected the Cit-rus Bowl’s Defensive Player-of-the-Game with his five tackles, including one for a loss. He also intercepted a pass in the endzone and returned it 46 yards in the third quarter.

Doug Brewster in-tercepted a pass early in the second quarter to set up the Tigers’ first score, a 20-yard field goal by Chris Gardocki. With time running out in the first half, Gardocki

put the Tigers up with another kick, this time a 46-yarder. A fumble in the third quarter gave the Sooners the opportunity to take the lead, but the Tiger defense held and R.D. Lashar hit again from 30 yards. The Tigers responded on the next series, driving 80 yards in 15 plays for the game’s only touchdown, as Terry Allen scored on a four-yard run. Allen, the game’s Most Valuable Player, rushed for 25 yards and caught two passes for 17 yards on the drive. Defensive MVP Jesse Hatcher caused and recovered a fumble on the Sooners’ next drive, but the Sooners would have one more opportunity to score. After a punt, Oklahoma drove from its own 20 to the Clemson 14, as Holieway put the Tiger secondary to the test by putting the ball in the air. On the last play of the game, freshman Dexter Davis knocked down a pass in the endzone to seal the Tiger victory. Terry Allen was named MVP. Allen rushed for only 53 yards, his season low, but scored the game’s only touchdown and caught four passes for 47 yards to lead all Tiger receivers.

The Tigers closed out the 1989 season with a stylish victory over West Virginia and Heisman Trophy finalist Major Harris, as a dominant Clemson defense held the high-powered Mountaineer offense to only 237 yards in total offense. The win gave Clemson’s senior class the ACC record for victories as they became the first class in conference history to record 38 wins and the first Clemson team ever to win four straight bowl games. West Virginia quarterback Major Harris came into the game ranked eighth nationally in total offense and ninth in passing efficiency but the Clemson defense, led by outside linebacker Levon Kirkland, enabled the shifty Harris to gain only 17 yards on the ground and 119 yards in the air on an 11-21 passing effort. Kirkland was named MVP for his efforts, as he had nine tackles, a five-yard sack, caused a key fumble, broke up a Mountaineer pass, and recorded three quarterback pressures. The fourth quarter was all Clemson, as the Tigers moved the ball 47 yards on the ground to set up a four-yard Joe Henderson touchdown. Vince Taylor recovered a second Harris fumble and after a Clemson punt, freshman defensive tackle Chester McGlockton, the ACC sack leader, knocked the ball loose from Harris

After a separation of 22 years, two coaches found themselves once again on the same football field. This time, they were on opposite sidelines. Ken Hatfield and John Mackovic, who had been graduate assistants together at Army in the 1960’s, were reunited in the 1991 Hall of Fame Bowl. The Clemson defense dominated the line by hold-ing Illinois to 247 yards, 150 yards under their season average. The Clemson offense surprised the Illini defense with an unexpected aerial assault. Tiger quarterback and game MVP DeChane Cameron, who was less than a 50 percent passer in the regular season, completed 14 of 19 passes for a Hall of Fame Bowl record 73 percent. Cameron’s passing yardage totalled 141 yards and he completed TD passes to Doug Thomas and Howard Hall. It was the first TD reception for both players in their respective careers. Thomas caught five passes on the day for 57 yards, career highs for both categories for the senior in his last game. Clemson took its opening possession 71 yards to the Illinois two where Chris Gardocki tapped in any easy three. After Illinois fumbled on its first offensive play of the game, Clemson scored a touchdown with a 14-yard

once again and fell on it in the endzone for a Tiger touchdown, up-ping the score to 24-7 in favor of Clemson. As the final seconds ticked off the clock, DeChane Cameron came in at

quarterback for the Tigers and hit Rodney Fletcher over the middle for a 34-yard gain to set up a 24-yard Chris Gardocki field goal, putting the final score at 27-7. Senior tailback Joe Henderson led the Tigers in rushing with 92 yards on 22 carries and one touchdown, while Chris Morocco, who was shaken up late in the game, gained 65 yards on the ground on 11 carries. Rodney Fletcher was the leading receiver as he pulled down three catches for 66 yards. Chris Gardocki kept the Tigers in good field position, as he had a 46-yard average on four punts, including a long kick of 63. Defensively, linebacker Doug Brewster led the team in tackles with 10, followed by Kirkland’s nine and strong safety Arlington Nunn and inside linebacker Ed McDaniel, who had seven stops each.

pass from Cameron to Thomas. Clemson had not scored a passing touchdown in any of its four previous bowl victories. In the second quar-ter, the Tigers would

score two more touchdowns. The first was the result of a 17-yard Cameron pass to fullback Howard Hall. It was just the third TD pass to a Clemson fullback in the last 18 years. Clemson then put the contest out of reach just three plays later when Arlington Nunn scored on a 34-yard interception return. It was the senior’s third interception returned for a TD in 1990, a Clemson record. The Tiger defense continued to hold Illinois throughout the remainder of the game. John Johnson led the Tiger pass defense, as he had two sacks to lead a point-prevention unit that had six sacks on the day. Illinois reached the Clemson eight-yard line in the fourth quarter, but the Tiger defense forced a fumble and Ed McDaniel picked up the ball. Illinois had the ball in Tiger territory just three times. The Tiger defense earned its third shutout of the year. It was the first shutout at a Hall of Fame Bowl and Clemson’s first bowl shutout in 17 bowls. The 30-0 triumph was a Tiger record for victory margin in a bowl game.

Clemson’s bowl game victory streak ended at five as the Tigers left the state of Florida with their first bowl loss since 1985, and their worst defeat since 1986, when #14th California defeated #13 Clemson 37-13 in the Florida Citrus Bowl. For the first time since the 1988 season, the Clemson defense, which led the nation in rushing defense in 1991, allowed an opposing running back to rush for over 100 yards, as California’s Russell White crossed the century mark with 103 yards. The Golden Bears scored early and often in the first half, taking the opening kickoff 76 yards for a touchdown and adding a 31-yard field goal on their third posses-sion. Clemson was unable to gain a first down after the ensuing kickoff and was forced to punt. Although Chuck Lynch punted 49 yards, Brian Treggs eluded the Tiger special forces unit and went the distance for a 72-yard touchdown. Treggs had 124 punt return yards, most ever against Clemson in a bowl game and one of the top opponent performances in any game. Clemson got on the board for the first time with time running out in the first quarter as Nelson Welch

Heading into the Peach Bowl with Kentucky, Clemson owned the seventh-best bowl winning percentage in college football history with a .611 mark. The Tigers upped that percentage in an exciting way, with a 14-13 win over Kentucky. Tommy West became the first coach in NCAA history to win his first game for a school in a bowl game without serving as a coach in that program during the regular season. A tandem of running backs who hailed from Pen-sacola, FL led the Clemson rushing attack, as starting tailback Rodney Blunt rushed for a season-high 58 yards on 15 carries to lead the team. But, it was red-shirt fresh-man Emory Smith who was named the Tigers’ Offensive MVP, as he rambled for 45 yards from his fullback position, including a two-yard touchdown run. After taking over at its own two, quarterback Dex-ter McCleon engineered a 98-yard scoring drive that culminated in a one-yard run by Emory Smith. The Wildcats drove back down the field on their next possession, this time reaching the Clemson one again, where they decided to go for it on fourth down. The Clemson defense held once again, as defensive tackle Brentson Buckner stopped the ball carrier for

connected on a 32-yard field goal on a drive highlighted by a 43-yard run by fullback Rudy Harris. The highlight of the game for the Tigers came with just under

five minutes remaining in the first half, as DeChane Cameron broke loose for a 62-yard touchodwn. That play marked the longest run from scrimmage for a Tiger quarterback in 13 years, but also marked the only touchdown that Clemson scored that afternoon. The only score for Clemson in the second half was a 36-yard field goal by Welch in the third period. The Tiger defense managed to hold California score-less in the fourth quarter, but Clemson could not put up any points, as it turned the ball over three times on interceptions and once more on downs. Two Tigers who were playing in their last game in a Clemson uniform were named team Most Valuable Players in the loss. Defensive tackle Chester McGlock-ton, who had six tackles for the game, including three tackles for loss and one-and-a-half sacks, was named the Tigers’ defensive MVP, while quarterback DeChane Cameron was named Clemson’s Most Valuable Offensive Performer, after he scored Clemson’s only touchdown and had 189 yards in total offense.

no gain. Buckner was named Defensive MVP after tallying a dozen tackles, including three tackles for loss. Buckner became just the fourth Tiger defensive lineman in the last eight years to

record at least a dozen tackles in a game. The Tigers were forced to punt after taking over at the one and Kentucky got on the scoreboard with a 17-yard field goal by Nicky Nickles. The score heading into the half stood at 7-3. Neither squad scored in the third quarter, and barely into the fourth period, Kentucky took the lead with a 46-yard touchdown drive. After an interception, the Wilcats upped their lead to 13-7 on a 43 yard scoring drive, culminating in another field goal. With time running down in the fourth quarter, quarterback Patrick Sapp came off the bench. The two teams exchanged punts before the Tigers got the ball at their own 18 with 3:50 left. On the first play of the drive, Sapp threw a screen to Emory Smith for 57 yards. With under a minute left, Kentucky linebacker Marty Moore intercepted Sapp’s pass. But, on the return, Stacy Seegars jarred the ball loose and Brent LeJeune recovered. With 20 seconds left, Sapp connected with Terry Smith on a 21-yard score and Nelson Welch kicked the PAT for the win.

Clemson entered the 1996 Gator Bowl fresh off of five consecutive victories, including an emotional 38-17 win over arch-rival South Carolina. The Tigers had won six consecutive games away from Death Valley, but the streak ended there at the hands of Syracuse. The Orangemen handed Clemson its worst bowl defeat in its 20-game bowl history, 41-0. In front of a rain-soaked crowd of mostly Tiger fans, freshman quarterback and future NFL star Dono-van McNabb ran, passed and beat the Tiger defense. McNabb, the MVP of the Gator Bowl, was unstoppable, as he threw three touchdown passes and ran for another. He completed 13 of 23 passes for 309 yards. Wide receiver Marvin Harrison was on the other end of many McNabb passes as he grabbed seven for 173 yards. Malcolm Thomas scored less than two minutes into the game on a one-yard run. On its next possession, McNabb led a 12-play, 62-yard drive that culminated in a McNabb five-yard keeper for six. In the second quarter, the Orangemen defense thwarted Clemson’s best scoring chance of the after-noon. After the Tigers had gone 53 yards down the field on 11 plays to Syracuse’s six-yard-line, Clemson faced

Raymond Priester set a Clemson Bowl record for rushing yardage with 151 yards gained during the 1996 Peach Bowl. On the defensive side of the ball, defensive lineman Trevor Pryce had three tackles for loss and one sack in addition to a caused fumble. Even with these fine accomplishments, Clemson still fell to the Louisiana State Tigers by a three-point margin, 10-7 at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, GA. Nealon Greene opened the scoring for Clemson on a three-yard run for a touchdown. In addition to Priester’s outstanding game, contribu-tions to the running attack were also made by Emory Smith, who had nine carries for 40 yards. Smith, brother of NFL star Emmitt Smith, was playing in his second Peach Bowl, as he was vital in Clemson’s victory over Kentucky in the 1993 Peach Bowl. Clemson’s sole touchdown drive was 1:29 minutes long and consisted of only three runs. The outstanding field position was achieved on a fumble recovery by Harold Means following a sack and caused fumble by Trevor Pryce. Defensively, Clemson had five players contribute to a combined nine tackles for losses. These tackles

a crucial fourth-and-two situation. Clemson called a play-action pass that was incomplete, ending the drive on downs. The homecoming for Jacksonville natives

and childhood teammates Brian Dawkins and Patrick Sapp was bitter-sweet, although Sapp did register a sack for a nine-yard loss. The Tigers, who entered the game with the nation’s fourth best rushing attack could only manage 90 yards on 34 attempts. The Orangemen held Raymond Priester, the ACC’s leading rusher, to just 36 yards on 15 carries. Syracuse added two more touchdowns in the third quarter to put the game well out of reach. After a 57-yard pass to Sir Mawn Wilson, Thomas ran two yards to the right for his second touchdown of the afternoon. Thomas rushed for 71 yards on 14 carries. Each team traded prodigious third quarter punts, including a 73-yard effort by Sean Reali. The two bright spots for Clemson were punter Chris McInally, who averaged 49.3 yards on six punts, and Brian Dawkins, who had a team-high 10 tackles. The Orangemen had their second one-play drive when McNabb connected with Harrison for a 56-yard score.

for losses combined for a total loss of fifty-three yards of Louisiana State’s offense. Louis iana State scored its only touch-down of the game dur-ing the second quarter

when Kevin Faulk ran three yards to a touchdown. The extra point by Richey was good and the game was tied 7-7. Louisiana State scored again during this quarter, with a 22-yard field goal by Richey to take the lead for good. Neither team scored in the second half, as both defenses dominated. Clemson got the ball back with 2:29 remaining, but a 52-yard field goal attempt by Matt Padgett with 1:02 remaining in the game was blocked by Adam Roman and Louisiana State hung on for its second bowl victory over Clemson. The SEC Tigers also defeated Clemson 7-0 in the 1959 Sugar Bowl. Time of possession was fairly even throughout the game, as Louisiana State led with 30:15 minutes versus Clemson’s 29:45 minutes. Not only was time of possession even in this game, but also the total net yards gained (Clemson 258 - Louisiana State 287) and the average gain per play (4.2-4.5) were close as well.

Behind the strength of the Auburn defense, Dameyune Craig was able to rally his offense in the fourth quarter enroute to a come from behind 21-17 victory over the Clemson Tigers at the Georgia Dome. Auburn’s offense managed to score 15 points on three consecutive scoring drives to overcome an 11-point deficit in the fourth quarter. Clemson got on the board midway through the second quarter with the help of the first of many great special teams plays. Jaret Holmes’ punt was blocked by Rod Gardner and returned 18 yards by Chad Speck for a touchdown. Auburn would answer the Clemson scoring strike on its very next drive. Offensive MVP Dameyune Craig led Auburn on a seven-play, 67-yard drive, that ended when Jaret Holmes converted on his second field goal. With 5:18 left in the third quarter, Clemson’s special teams stepped up big again when Rahim Abdullah blocked Holmes’ punt and Mal Lawyer recovered the ball on the two. From there, Clemson’s Terry Witherspoon ran the ball in from two yards out on first and goal to give the Tigers a 14-6 lead. Auburn was forced to punt from inside its own 10-

Wayne Madkin ran for a touchdown and threw for another in the fourth quarter to lead #15 Mississippi State to a 17-7 win in the Peach Bowl and a record crowd of 73,315. Clemson outgained the Bulldogs 391-265, but many Tiger drives stalled in Bulldog territory, as Missis-sippi State’s defense, tops in the nation in yards allowed per game, thwarted the Tigers and forced six turnovers. Despite the loss, Clemson’s defense played one of its best games of the year, holding the Bulldogs (10-2) to just 3.7 yards per play. The defense also began many drives after Tiger turnovers in Clemson’s own territory. Clemson was led on offense by Brian Wofford, who had six catches for a team-season-high 147 yards, including four of 20 yards or more. Brandon Streeter threw for 301 yards on 24-50 passing. Freshman Bernard Rambert, who played most of the game after starting tailback Travis Zachery left the game early in the first quarter with a dislocated elbow, had 70 yards rushing on 18 carries. Clemson looked to be in business when Streeter connected with Rod Gardner, who had seven catches for 75 yards, for 37 yards on the game’s first play. But Fred Smoot intercepted Streeter’s fourth-down pass.

yard line the following possession. Tony Horne returned the punt 20 yards to the Auburn 26-yard line, giving the Ti-gers great field position. However, the Clemson offense failed to gain a

first down. David Richardson connected on a 48-yard field goal, which gave Clemson a 17-6 advantage with 2:10 left in the third quarter. Down 11 points, Craig rallied his team. He led the Tigers on a nine-play, 72-yard drive. The Auburn drive was capped off with a miraculous 22-yard touchdown run by Craig on a fourth-down play. Despite failing to convert the two-point conversion, Craig’s run was a turning point for the Auburn offense and reduced Clemson’s lead to 17-12. Clemson was forced to punt on its next possession, giving the ball back to an Auburn offense that was finally clicking. Craig and his Tigers drove 49 yards in two minutes and 22 seconds, resulting in a Rusty Williams 7-yard touchdown run. Following an interception, Auburn drove down to the Clemson five and Holmes converted on a 22-yard field goal, giving the Auburn Tigers a 21-17 lead. After Clemson lost the ball on downs, Auburn ran the remain-ing 2:30 off the clock.

Clemson had another golden opportunity later in the opening quarter. Thanks in part to Wofford’s 32-yard catch and run, Clemson drove 64 yards in 15 plays before Tony Laz-

zara’s 25-yard field goal was blocked and returned into Tiger territory. The Clemson defense continually came up with stands. The teams went into halftime 0-0, the first scoreless tie at halftime for Clemson since 1988. Scott Westerfield put the Bulldogs ahead 3-0 on the opening drive of the second half. After two screen passes that netted a total of 30 yards, Westerfield split the uprights from 39 yards. The Bulldogs reached the endzone for the first time on their first possession of the fourth quarter. Madkin out-ran Keith Adams for a two-yard score. Their drive was twice extended on third-down plays in the red-zone by pass interference calls. Clemson responded with an eight-play, 70-yard drive capped by Streeter’s one-yard plunge to make the score 10-7. But Mississippi State came right back with a clinching touchdown-scoring drive, capped by Dontae Walker’s 15-yard catch on a screen pass. Madkin’s 21-yard completion to Matt Butler on third down was the critical play of the drive.

Michael Vick rebounded from an ankle-injury to lead Virginia Tech to a victory in his final college game, a 41-20 win. The quarterback finished with two touch-downs while completing 10 of 18 passes for 205 yards. The contest was a battle of mobile quarterbacks, as Clemson’s Woodrow Dantzler gained 261 yards of total offense for the afternoon. The Hokies capitalized on early costly Tiger mistakes. The uncharacteristic play began on the first drive when snapper Henry Owen bounced his delivery to punter Jaime Somaini, who was tackled for an eight-yard loss by Lee Suggs. Tech scored on its first offensive play of the game when Vick threw to Jarrett Ferguson on a 23-yard touchdown play. Later in the quarter, Terry Jolly jumped off-side to preserve an 11-play, 59-yard drive that ended in a six-yard touchdown run for Vick. Clemson got back into the game, but at a heavy cost. Dantzler found Travis Zachery for a 23-yard touchdown early in the second quarter. However, Zachery’s missed the rest of the game due to a broken foot that occurred as the tailback leaped into the endzone. On the play, Zachery also snapped Lester Brown’s single-season

Clemson concluded its 2001 season with a 49-24 win over Louisiana Tech in the Humanitarian Bowl at Boise, ID. The Tigers managed to win despite snowy conditions and freezing temperatures that set records for a Tiger football game. Clemson won by putting together one of its best all-around performances of the season. The offense racked up 548 yards of total offense and set a school record for most touchdown passes in a game with five. The Tigers scored four touchdowns in the third quarter, setting a new team record for most points scored in one quarter in a bowl game. Four touchdowns were scored by freshmen, marking the first time in school history that happened. The defense held the Bulldogs to just 49 total yards rushing while intercepting three passes and totaling six sacks. After falling behind 10-7, Clemson took the lead 14-10 with 6:54 remaining before halftime when quarter-back Woodrow Dantzler Dantzler connected with Ros-coe Crosby on a 53-yard touchdown reception. Dantzler helped extend the lead on the first drive of the second half by finding Ben Hall in the end zone and igniting the record-setting third quarter scoring effort. Dant-

Clemson record of 17 touchdowns in a season. Two possessions lat-er, Keith Adams sacked Vick for 18 yards, forc-ing a fumble that Terry Bryant recovered on the Hokie 13. Clemson

had to settle for an Aaron Hunt field goal, bringing the Tigers to within 14-10. But, that was as close as Clemson could get. Suggs scored his first touchdown of the day on a three-yard rush on the next possession to give the Hokies a 21-10 lead. Hopes of a second-half rally were shattered when Vick found Andre Davis for a 55-yard touchdown on the first drive of the second half. Willie Simmons relieved Dantzler in the final quarter. On his first possession, Simmons led the offense on an 11-play, 71-yard drive that ended in a 23-yard touchdown pass to Rod Gardner. With seven catches, Gardner surpassed Terry Smith’s Clemson record for career receptions, finishing his career with 166. Both quarterbacks shined in the much-anticipated match-up between Vick and Dantzler, although the Hokie quarterback left with both a Gator Bowl and a MVP trophy. Vick had the advantage in the passing game, his numbers slightly besting Dantzler’s 15-32 for 180 yards.

zler recorded his third touchdown pass of the game two minutes later when he hooked up with Bernard Rambert for a 62-yard score. Following an inter-ception by Brian Mance,

the offense capitalized seven plays later when Rambert scampered down the left sideline for 21 yards and a score. Charles Hafley intercepted Luke McCown’s pass on the Bulldogs’ first play of the ensuing drive, and Airese Currie’s 19-yard fumble-rooskie play less than two minutes later marked the fourth touchdown of the quarter and gave Clemson a 42-10 lead. Backup quarterback Willie Simmons entered the game in the final period and helped contribute to Clem-son’s final score of the game, completing his only pass of the contest to Derrick Hamilton for a 57-yard touch-down with just over nine minutes remaining. Despite two late scores by Louisiana Tech, the Tigers’ impressive team effort left fans excited about the potential of the 2002 campaign. Dantzler ended his career with a fitting perfor-mance. He completed 15-23 passes for 218 yards, and his four touchdown passes tied his own team record. Rambert posted 101 rushing yards and a touchdown on 16 carries. Center Kyle Young was named to Sports Illustrated’s All-Bowl team, as he had 18 knockdown blocks in the contest.

Texas Tech defeated Clemson 55-15 in the 2003 Mazda Tangerine Bowl at Florida Citrus Bowl Stadium in Orlando, FL. Making their fourth consecutive bowl appearance, the Tigers were unable to contain Kliff Kingsbury, who threw for 375 yards and three touch-downs. Earning game MVP honors, he completed 32-43 passes and finished the season with 5,017 passing yards. Although Kingsbury left the game in the third quarter with a leg injury, he returned to play in the final quarter and became just the third player in Division I-A history to eclipse the 5,000-yard passing mark in a season. Charlie Whitehurst, who completed 20 of his 48 passes for 263 yards, led Clemson. His favorite target was Kevin Youngblood, who had a game-high 134 yards receiving on seven catches. Kingsbury established the tone for the Red Raider offense by completing six of his first eight passes and leading the Red Raiders to a 29-yard field goal. Less than six minutes later, Kingsbury’s 46-yard touchdown pass to Nehemiah Glover gave the Red Raiders a 10-0 lead. The onslaught continued in the first quarter when Kingsbury connected with Mickey Peters on a 19-yard touchdown pass that gave Texas Tech a 17-0 lead enter-

Clemson’s impressive finish to the regular season carried over into the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl, as the Tigers upset #6 Tennessee by a score of 27-14. The win gave Clemson two victories over top-10 teams for the first time since the 1981 National Championship season, and propelled the Tigers to a #22 ranking in both final polls. Clemson received the ball to start the game, and the offense responded with a quick start. Charlie Whitehurst found Derrick Hamilton for 26 yards and Kevin Youngblood for 35 more to move into scoring position. On first-and-goal, Whitehurst led an option to the short side of the field. Duane Coleman took the pitch and leaped over a would-be tackler. He got in for an eight-yard score. Tennessee was forced to punt on its second possession, as Clausen was sacked by Justin Miller (first of his career) and then had a pass tipped at the line by Eric Coleman. All-America punter Dustin Colquitt booted a 41-yard punt, but Clemson’s Hamilton provided some fireworks. He started to the right side of the field, cut back left, and then was off to the races thanks to some timely blocks. His 58-yard punt return

ing the second quarter. Taurean Hender-son’s 10-yard run gave the Red Raiders a 24-0 lead with 12:09 remain-ing in the first half. Mid-way through the sec-ond quarter, Clemson

finally mustered some points when Tye Hill blocked a punt that resulted in a safety when the ball went through the end zone. Vincent Meeks intercepted Whitehurst at the goal-line. Three quick completions moved the Texas Tech offense into field-goal range, and Robert Treece’s successful 40-yard attempt as time expired gave Texas Tech a 34-2 advantage at halftime. Clemson’s opening drive of the second half resulted in the team’s first offensive score, when Whitehurst con-nected with tight end Ben Hall on a 10-yard touchdown pass. Kingsbury left the game on the next possession after Khaleed Vaughn rolled over his leg; B.J. Symons replaced Kingsbury and guided the Red Raiders to a score on his opening drive. Symons’ two-yard touch-down pass to Carlos Francis made the score 41-9. Chad Jasmin’s two-yard scamper with 12:29 remaining in regulation signaled the Tigers’ final score of the contest.

put Clemson on the Volunteers’ 17-yard line to begin the next drive. The Tigers quickly r e s p o n d e d t o a Volunteer touchdown late in the first quarter. Chad Jasmin rushed for

46 yards on the drive, including a 15-yard touchdown run up the middle to put the Tigers ahead 17-7. Clemson again responded with points on the ensuing possession. Jasmin ignited the drive with a 31-yard run up the middle. Whitehurst then found Hamilton for a 23-yard gain into the redzone. Faced with third-and-goal from the eight, the Tiger coaching staff reached into its bag of tricks. Whitehurst took the shotgun snap and handed the ball to Kyle Browning between his legs. Whitehurst then carried out a fake option to the right, while Browning hesitated and then ran left for the touchdown. The play, known as “Panther,” put the Tigers ahead 24-14 at halftime. Clemson rushed for 153 yards, while Tennessee struggled to just 38. Jasmin, voted the game’s most valuable offensive player, had 130 yards on the ground and a touchdown. Recording sacks for Clemson were Charles Bennett, Touré Francis, Leroy Hill, John Leake, DeJuan Polk, and Miller. With two sacks, Hill was voted the defensive most valuable player.

Clemson won its 15th bowl game with a 19-10 victory over Colorado in the Champs Sports Bowl in Or-lando, FL. It was only the second meeting between the two schools, with the first coming in the 1957 Orange Bowl, a 27-21 Buffalo win. James Davis led the way for the Tigers, rushing for 150 yards on 28 carries to earn MVP honors. Charlie Whitehurst finished his career completing 21-29 passes for 205 yards, and also ran for a score. Two runs by Davis gained 26 yards, and Whitehurst followed with a 20-yard strike to Curtis Baham. The drive stalled three plays later, and Jad Dean made a 26-yard field goal. Hugh Charles picked up 13 yards and a first down at the Clemson 10, barely missing a score by stepping out of bounds. However, three more rushes by Charles resulted in a loss of eight yards, and Colorado settled for a Mason Crosby 36-yard field goal on the first play of the second quarter. On Clemson’s next possession, Whitehurst found Thomas Hunter for 10 yards on third down. After a penalty gave the Tigers another first down, Whitehurst completed a shovel pass to Davis for 22 yards down to

the Colorado 10. Two rushes by Davis and another completion to Hunter moved the ball to the two, and Clemson elected to take the lead with a field goal. Dean made his

24th field goal to set a school record for field goals in a season, and his 18-yarder also gave the Tigers a 6-3 lead. On the second play of the third quarter, Davis broke free for a 40-yard run. Whitehurst found Aaron Kelly for 11 yards three plays later, and then Whitehurst dove into the endzone for a five-yard touchdown run on a third-and-goal play. The touchdown drive covered 67 yards in eight plays. Each team punted several more times before Colorado began a drive at its own 31 with just over nine minutes left in the game. Cox was replaced by Brian White. After a pass-interference penalty on the Tigers, White hit two consecutive passes for 45 yards down to the Clemson nine. Three plays later on third down, White found Quinn Sypniewski for a two-yard touchdown pass to cut the lead to 13-10. Clemson’s defense held Colorado to 124 total yards of offense and 17 yards rushing, the top defensive per-formance by any team in a bowl game during the 2005 season.

Andre’ Woodson passed for 299 yards and three touchdowns to lead Kentucky to a 28-20 victory over Clemson in the Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowl at LP Field in Nashville, TN on December 29. Kentucky held a 7-6 lead late in the second quarter until it scored on a 70-yard pass after a fake punt in its own territory. Then Kentucky took a 28-6 lead in the fourth quarter and held on for the win in front of a partisan Wildcat crowd. Will Proctor was 23-39 for 272 yards and three touch-downs. Aaron Kelly had a game-high six receptions for 66 yards and a touchdown, Chansi Stuckey caught five balls for 93 yards. Kentucky took the opening drive 62 yards in 12 plays to take a 7-0 lead, as Micah Johnson scored on a one-yard plunge. Tyler Grisham gave the ball back to the Tigers in Wildcat territory when he blocked a punt. Two plays after a 15-yard reverse by Jacoby Ford, Proctor found Durrell Barry open over the middle for a 32-yard touch-down reception, the first of Barry’s career. Clemson missed the extra point, keeping Kentucky ahead 7-6. As Clemson was in the process of holding Kentucky’s

offense under 10 yards for the sixth straight drive, the Wildcats gam-bled with a fake punt. Punter Tim Masthay completed a 10-yard pass on fourth-and-four from the Kentucky 20.

On the next play, Woodson lofted a 70-yard touchdown pass to DeMoreo Ford. Kentucky took a 21-6 lead on a 24-yard throwback pass from Woodson to Dicky Lyons. Early in the fourth quarter, Rafael Little returned a punt 46 yards to the Tiger 28. Four plays later, Woodson scrambled and found Jacob Tamme open for a 13-yard touchdown pass. Clemson responded with a 78-yard drive to cut into the Wildcat lead. Pass plays of 19 yards to Grisham and 19 yards to Stuckey helped set up a first-and-goal. Facing fourth down from the 17, Grisham hauled in a touchdown pass from Proctor in the back of the en-dzone. The two-point try failed, leaving Kentucky up 28-12 with 7:25 remaining. Clemson took over on downs with 3:17 left and drove 74 yards on eight plays. Stuckey’s 28-yard catch moved the ball into Wildcat territory. Proctor then lofted a pass to Kelly, as he came down with the touchdown catch. Proctor connected with Michael Palmer on the two-point play, cutting Kentucky’s lead to 28-20 with 44 seconds left.

Kodi Burns’ seven-yard touchdown run in overtime gave #21 Auburn a 23-20 win over #15 Clemson in the Chick-fil-A Bowl in the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, GA on December 31. It was Clemson’s seventh appearance in the Chick-fil-A/Peach Bowl. Clemson scored 10 points early in the fourth quar-ter to take a 17-10 lead, but Auburn responded with a game-tying drive and converted a fourth down in overtime before earning the walkoff victory. Auburn debuted its spread offense, as Burns and starter Brandon Cox rotated at quarterback, leading Auburn to 423 yards and 24 first downs. C.J. Spiller led Clemson with 112 yards on eight carries and a touchdown. Spiller, who was named Offensive MVP of the Chick-fil-A-Bowl, also totaled a team-season-high 218 all-purpose yards. Phillip Merling’s sack forced a punt that pinned Clemson at its own 12. After a five-yard carry by Spiller, the sophomore carried again up the middle. This time, he bounced outside and sprinted 83 yards for a score to give Clemson a 7-3 lead early in the second quarter. It was the longest rush by a Clemson player since 1993 and the longest ever in Clemson bowl history.

Au b u r n w a s t e d little time regaining the lead in the third quarter, as it drove 78 yards in 10 plays on its scoring drive. It was capped by Burns’ 22-yard touchdown pass to

Mario Fannin on third-and-seven. It was the freshman’s only completion of the game. Brad Lester moved the ball to midfield with a 30-yard carry on Auburn’s next possession. But Clemson forced an incomplete pass on fourth-and-two from its own 32 to take over on downs. Clemson went three-and-out, but Jimmy Maners’ 59-yard punt went out-of-bounds at the four. Auburn’s three-and-out and Spiller’s eight-yard punt return then set up Clemson in enemy territory. Clemson capitalized on the game’s only turnover when James Davis scored on a one-yard plunge. But Clemson’s 17-10 lead was short-lived, as Auburn traversed 70 yards in 11 plays to tie the score. Burns rumbled 15 yards to the Clemson one. Ben Tate carried the ball into the endzone on the next play with 8:27 remaining in the game. After Clemson kicked a field goal in overtime, Au-burn faced a third-and-13. Cox hit Rodgeriqus Smith for 12 yards. On fourth-and-one, Auburn elected to go for the first down and got it. Three plays later on third-and-three, Burns took the shotgun snap and scampered seven yards for the game-winning touchdown.

2007 Chick-fil-A Bowl

2009 Gator Bowl

Nebraska overcame a 14-3 halftime deficit and scored 20 points in the third quarter to defeat Clemson 26-21 in the Gator Bowl at Jacksonville (FL) Municipal Stadium on January 1. It was Clemson’s ninth appear-ance in the Gator Bowl and first since the 2000 season. Neither team scored in the game’s first 25 minutes. The Tigers forced a punt on Nebraska’s first five posses-sions and a fumble on its sixth drive. Clemson, however, squandered good field position during that time. The Tigers finally dented the scoreboard later in the second quarter when DeAndre McDaniel deflected Joe Ganz’s option pitch. He grabbed the ball off one bounce and raced 28 yards for a score. It was the first of three turnovers forced by the Tigers, as all 21 of their points came off turnovers. Cullen Harper’s pass was deflected into the arms of Anthony West at the Tiger 27. But Ganz returned the favor when Crezdon Butler stepped in front of his pass and sprinted 63 yards to the Nebraska 13. Two plays later, Harper connected with Aaron Kelly for a 25-yard touchdown pass to up the Tigers’ lead to 14-3. Nebraska drove 54 yards on the first drive of the third quarter. Ganz’s 36-yard pass to Todd Peterson set

up his 17-yard touch-down pass to Nate Swift. The Tigers punted on their next posses-sion, but Niles Paul muffed the punt and Chad Diehl recovered at

the Tiger 44. After a pass-interference penalty, Jacoby Ford outran the Nebraska secondary and caught a perfectly-thrown pass from Harper for a 41-yard score to give Clemson a 21-10 lead. But on Nebraska’s next snap, Quentin Castille broke free for a 58-yard run. Then on third-and-12, Ganz found Peterson for a 19-yard touchdown pass. But Clemson’s defense held and Alex Henery booted a 28-yard, go-ahead field goal late in the third quarter. The two teams traded punts on the next five drives, then Castille’s 40-yard run gave Nebraska first-and-goal. But the Tigers stayed within one score by forcing Henery’s 22-yard field goal with 5:20 left in the game. Clemson’s final drive was kept alive by a 16-yard pass from Harper to Ford on fourth down and Kelly’s 17-yard catch gave the Tigers first-and-goal at the 10. But Harper was sacked for a 16-yard loss. On third down, his pass to C.J. Spiller in the endzone was nearly caught before Matt O’Hanlon broke up the pass. Harper’s last-ditch effort on fourth down fell incomplete. Da’Quan Bowers, Clemson’s Gator Bowl MVP, had six tackles and a team-high three tackles for loss for the Tigers, who had 11 tackles for loss in the game.
