D IRECTORY






2010 SCHEDULE Clemson will face seven 2009 bowl teams, in-cluding four on the road on its 2010 football sched-ule. The schedule includes Clemson’s first regular season game with Auburn since 1971 and the Ti-gers first trip to North Carolina since 2002. All 12 games on the schedule will be played on Saturdays. It will be the first time since 2001 that Clemson has played all of its games on Saturdays. All game times will be announced at a later date. “This is a difficult schedule, especially when you see that we have to play four bowl teams in our five road games,” said Clemson Head Coach Dabo Swinnney. “The game at Auburn will be the first of these and it will be a great test for our football team. It is one I know our fans have been looking forward to for some time. “The Miami game at Clemson will be a nation-al game. We have played them three times since I have been at Clemson and all three have gone to overtime. The North Carolina game should also be a great game the very next week. I have been at Clem-son since 2003, but it will be my first trip to Chapel Hill. In that three-game stretch between September 18 to October 9 (Auburn, Miami and North Carolina) we will learn a lot about our football team. “I do wish the open date was closer to the middle of the season, and finishing the ACC schedule with consecutive road games at Florida State and Wake Forest will be a big challenge to say the least.” Clemson opens the schedule with consecutive non-conference home games against North Texas and Presbyterian. It will be Clemson’s first game with North Texas and the first game against Presby-terian since 1957. The two schools opened the sea-son on an annual basis from 1930 to 1957 when Hall of Fame coaches Jess Neely and Frank Howard served as Clemson’s head coach. The Tigers will play the Tigers on September 18 when Clemson travels to Auburn. It is the first of a two-game home-and-home series between the two schools. Auburn will play at Clemson in 2011. The last time the two teams met the contest went to overtime in the 2007 Chick-fil-A Bowl. Auburn won that game 23-20 in the Georgia Dome. Auburn is

coached by former Clem-son graduate assistant Gene Chizik. Clemson will have an open date on Septem-ber 25, then play eight consecutive conference games between October 2 and November 20. It is the first time Clemson has played eight consecu-tive ACC games since the 2003 season, but the first time in school history Clemson has played eight ACC games over an eight-week period. Clemson opens its ACC schedule on October 2 when Miami (FL) comes to Clemson. It is the latest start to the ACC schedule for Clemson since 1982 when Clemson played its first league game on Octo-ber 9 at Virginia. Clemson and Miami have met as ACC foes three times and all three have been decid-ed in overtime, including Clemson’s 40-37 victory in Miami last year. In fact the road team has won each of the last three meetings in at least one overtime. Clemson will have its first ACC road game at North Carolina on October 9. It will be just the sec-ond meeting between the two schools since 2003 and Clemson’s first trip to Chapel Hill since 2002. Clemson has won each of the last three meetings and five of the last six dating to 1999. Clemson has a two-game home stand on October 16 and October 23 against the only two ACC teams to beat the Tigers last year. Maryland will be the foe at Death Valley on October 16 and Georgia Tech will come to Clemson on October 23. The Yellow Jack-ets beat Clemson twice last year, 30-27 in the regu-lar season in Atlanta and 39-34 in the ACC Cham-pionship game in Tampa. It will be the fourth game against Georgia Tech within the first 35 games of Dabo Swinney’s Clemson coaching career. The Tigers will travel to Boston College on Octo-ber 30 for the annual battle for the O’Rourke-Mc-

Fadden Trophy. Clemson has defeated the Eagles each of the last two years. The 2008 win in Boston was Dabo Swinney’s first victory as Clemson head coach. Clemson will play its final ACC home game against NC State on November 6. Clemson has beaten NC State six consecutive years, Clemson’s longest win-ning streak in history over the Wolfpack. The Tigers must play their last two ACC games on the road, at Florida State on November 13, then at Wake Forest on November 20. Clemson has beaten the Seminoles five of the last seven years, but just once at Tallahassee since 1989. The Tigers have won eight of the last 11 games over Wake Forest, but the Demon Deacons have won three of the last four in Winston-Salem. Clemson concludes the regular season on No-vember 27, the Saturday after Thanksgiving, when South Carolina travels to Clemson. Clemson has won six of the last eight over the Gamecocks, but South Carolina won last year’s meeting in Columbia. Clemson has won five of the last six in the series played at Clemson.

SEASON OUTLOOK

The number-one question from the news media for Clemson Head Coach Dabo Swinney leading up to the 2010 season will be, “How do you replace C.J. Spiller?” Spiller was a unanimous first-team All-American last year when he gained an ACC record 2,680 all-purpose yards, including 1,212 rushing and 503 re-ceiving. He became the first player in league history with at least 1,000 rush-ing yards and 500 receiving yards in the same season. He added four kickoff returns for touchdowns and a punt return for a score in the return game, and was the only Division I player to score a touchdown in every game last year. He was named the Most Valuable Player of the Atlantic Coast Conference, the first Tiger to win that award in 22 years. Swinney’s answer is direct. “You can’t replace C.J. Spiller, he was a once in a lifetime player who did so many things for our team. It will take three or four players to do what he did last year for us.” While Swinney will miss Spiller, whom he personally recruited to Clemson from Lake Butler, FL in 2006, Swinney feels he does have those three or four players needed to provide the yardage, points and leadership Spiller recorded at an unprecedented rate in 2009. “’We have outstanding running backs in Andre Ellington and Jamie Harper. They give you a good one-two punch as far as their different styles of running. Both of those backs can catch the ball out of the backfield, and we have capable return men. We just don’t have one player who can do all the things C.J. did.” The stats back up Swinney’s optimism to some degree. Ellington and Harper combined for 909 yards in 148 carries last year, an average of 6.2 yards per rush, ahead of Spiller’s 5.6 average per carry. Another reason for optimism about the 2010 Tigers on offense is the offensive line. The Tigers lose an All-American guard in team leader Thomas Austin, who led the team in knockdown blocks last year and had over 300 for his career, but Clemson does return four starters on the offensive line. The experience of the offensive line has been the most direct indicator of success for Clemson teams the last 40 years. Since 1965 when college football went to a two-platoon system, Clemson has won an average of nine games per year when it returns at least four offensive line starters from the previous year. You only have to go back to the 2009 season to see that stat at work. Clemson returned four offensive line starters last year, won nine games and finished in the AP top 25. Leading the offensive line is All-America candidate Chris Hairston, a 6-7, 325-pound tackle who will be in his third year as a starter in 2010. Joining him as returning starters are sophomore center Dalton Freeman, junior tackle Landon Walker, and junior guard Antoine McClain. Those men provided a solid wall of protection for quarterback Kyle Parker, who threw for 20 touchdowns in his red-shirt freshman year, the fourth highest total in Clemson history, and most ever by a Tiger freshman. Also one of the top home run hitters on the Clemson baseball team, Parker tied for the national lead in victories by a freshman starting quarterback last year with nine. The wide receiver area does not have a returning player who had as many as 15 receptions last year, but that is not a major concern for Swinney, who coached that position from 2003-08 under Tommy Bowden before he be-

came Clemson’s head coach. Clemson must replace Jacoby Ford, who had 56 catches and was the fastest player in college football last year. “We have good receivers,” said Swinney. “When we get on the field in the fall, someone will emerge as ‘the guy’. We were in this position in 2004 and Airese Currie led the ACC in receptions. We were in this position going into the 2005 season and Chansi Stuckey made All-ACC and Curtis Baham stepped up and had a great season. Then Aaron Kelly, Tyler Grisham and Jacoby Ford did the same the following year. It is exciting to see new guys emerge.” The Clemson defense also has some holes to fill. Chris Chancellor and Crezdon Butler started each of the last 40 games together at cornerback. Ricky Sapp was a four-year player who finished his career with 41 tackles for loss and 15 sacks. And linebacker Kavell Conner was the top tackler each of the last two years and might be regarded as the most underrated defensive player at Clem-son in the last decade. He had the third fastest 40-time among linebackers at the NFL Combine last February. But the Tigers do have returning first-team All-America safety DeAndre McDaniel, who led the ACC in interceptions last year with eight, tying a Clemson record. Like Spiller before him, he rejected an opportunity to turn professional and will return for his senior year. “DeAndre McDaniel is one of the top defensive players in the nation,” said Swinney. “What he did last year in his first year as a safety was extraordinary. But, he has another level and he made a great decision coming back for his senior year. He will be the leader of the defense.” Clemson returns three starters and six lettermen across the defensive front, including tackles Jarvis Jenkins and Brandon Thompson, a pair of run-stoppers who were big reasons Clemson ranked in the top 25 in seven different defensive categories last year. Da’Quan Bowers returns for his junior year as well. He had 58 tackles last year in an injury-plagued season and is ready to have a breakout campaign. The returning linebackers are led by Brandon Maye, who had 103 tackles last year, third on the team. But, he is the only returning starter at the second line of defense. Kevin Alexander, who also saw time at defensive end, has gradu-ated after a solid senior year that saw him rack up 50 stops. “I was pleased with the performance of the defense last season. They were more aggressive and you could see that in our sack totals (36, second in the ACC after getting just 14 the previous year) and turnovers forced (30, ranked 15th in the nation). The Tigers were an overall tougher team in 2009 and that is something that Swinney hopes will carry over into 2010 and beyond. “That was one of our goals going into last year and that will be a goal each year. We saw that at the end of the Kentucky game. We controlled the line of scrimmage in the fourth quarter and finished the game by controlling the ball for the last 5:37 of that game. That was the way to finish the season. That epitomized toughness. “But that is something you want to develop every year. We always aspire to be a smarter team, be a close team and be a tough team. Those are goals we look to achieve every year. “It all goes back to a daily focus, a daily focus in practice from the start of Spring practice, into the preseason and into the season. That all leads to focus






SEASON OUTLOOKon game day and a consistent execution at a high level.” In general, Swinney is optimistic about the coming season, if for anything else, Clemson won’t have so many question marks when the season begins. “Last year we had a lot of questions about the program entering the season. We had a new quarterback, a new offensive coordinator, a new defensive coordina-tor, two new safeties…and a new head coach. We don’t have as many questions going into this year. “ o F F e N S e (7 Returning Starters, 23 Returning Lettermen) Balance was the watchword for the Clemson offense in 2009. The Tigers

rushed for 2,385 yards and passed for 2,688 yards, just the third Clemson of-fense in history with at least 2,300 yards of each in the same season. That will be a key to success for Clemson in 2010 as well. “We always want to keep the opposing defense uncomfortable and you do that with balance,” said Swinney. “We had that last year. We had 24 rushing touchdowns and 23 passing touchdowns. I feel we can do that again in 2010.” Kyle Parker is the returning starter at quarterback. As a freshman he completed 205 of 369 passes for 2,526 yards and 20 touchdowns against 12 interceptions. Those stats were Clemson freshman records in all categories, breaking marks previously held by Charlie Whitehurst, who just completed his fourth year in the NFL. The yardage total was the fifth-best in ACC history by a freshman and his total offense figure was fourth-best. Parker started all 14 games last year and led the Tigers to a 9-5 record, a #24 final ranking and the Atlantic Division championship of the ACC. Only Southern California quarterback Matt Barkley also led his team to nine wins and a top 25 final ranking as a freshman in 2009. Parker was named a second-team Freshman All-American by College Football News and became the first athlete in Clemson history to be named a freshman All-American in two sports. In 2008 he was named a freshman All-American for the Clemson baseball team. “Kyle Parker had a terrific freshman season,” said Swinney. “He has a powerful arm and gained a lot of experience last year that should lead to an even better sophomore year. The experience he gained as a baseball player for a top 25 program helped him last year in football.“ Parker will continue to play for the Clemson baseball team this spring where he is a starting outfielder on a top 20 team that has a legitimate shot to make the College World Series. Backing up Parker will be red-shirt freshman Tajh Boyd. The highly re-garded athlete from Virginia sat out last year and was ranked among the top 60 players in the nation by ESPN.com coming out of high school. He has a strong arm and impressed Clemson coaches during his work with the scout team last year. All-around athlete Mike Wade will also be in the mix at quarterback. He also serves as the holder on all placekicks and is a coverage player on the punt and kickoff teams and will see some time at safety on defense. He played nearly 250 special teams plays last year. The running back position will be led by red-shirt sophomore Andre Elling-ton and junior Jamie Harper. Ellington is the top returning rusher from last year with 491 yards in 68 carries, an average of 7.22 yards per carry. That average was third best in Clemson history and just below the 7.27 average Spiller had his freshman year. “At times last year when I turned on the film after a game I had to do a double take and make sure it was #23 and not #28,” said Swinney. “He is a very disciplined runner who follows his assignments very well. He can also catch the ball out of the backfield.” Harper had 418 yards rushing in 80 carries and scored four touchdowns last year. He averaged 5.2 yards per carry and showed his speed on a 69-yard touchdown run at NC State, the longest run of the season by a Clemson running back. “Jamie was our top rusher in the bowl win over Kentucky. He made some runs on the last drive that showed his toughness.” Roderick McDowell, a 5-9 running back from Sumter, SC, will be active in 2010 after red-shirting the 2009 season. He reminds many of Ellington in his running style. Each of Clemson’s top three receivers from last year have graduated. Ford led the way a year ago with 56 catches for 779 yards and six scores and finished his career in the top 10 in Clemson history in catches, reception yards, all-purpose yards and reception touchdowns. First-team All-ACC Tight end Mi-chael Palmer had 43 catches for 507 yards, school records for the position. Spiller was third with 36 catches for 503 yards. That means there will be openings at the receiver position for 2010. Senior Xavier Dye is the leading returning pass catcher with 14 receptions for 236 yards and three scores, and is the only returning starter at the position. He actually caught one touchdown pass from Parker, one from Spiller and one from Ford in 2009. His top game was against Florida State when he caught three passes for 68 yards, including a 43-yard touchdown from Parker. Terrence Ashe looks to move into the starting lineup. Originally a walk-on, the senior had 11 catches for 124 yards last season and has 21 career catches. He is also regarded as one of the top blockers among the Tigers pass-catchers.

Kyle Parker was named a second-team Freshman All-American by College Football News and became the first athlete in Clemson his-tory to be named a freshman All-American in two sports. In 2008 he was named a freshman All-American for the Clemson baseball team.





SEASON OUTLOOK Marquan Jones caught nine passes for 176 yards in 2009 and his 19.6 average was the best on the team. Jaron Brown, Brandon Clear and Brandon Ford are returning lettermen who caught passes last season and will be factors in 2010. Bryce McNeal is a red-shirt freshman who will also have every chance to see significant playing time this year. The tight end position was never more involved in the Clemson offense than it was in 2009 and that should be the plan for the offense coordinated by Billy Napier going forward. Dwayne Allen is the top candidate to lead the tight end position. He is actually a returning starter from last year when he made six starts and appeared in all 14 games. He had 10 catches for 108 yards and three touchdowns. The touchdown total tied a Clemson freshman record for a tight end. Chad Diehl is one of the most valuable players on the Clemson offense. You won’t find his name prominent in the rushing or receiving stats, but his lead blocking from the fullback and tight end positions had a lot to do with Clemson’s improvement in the rushing attack from 99th in the nation in 2008 to 40th in 2009. The leader of the offensive line is Chris Hairston, who will be in his third year as starting left tackle. He has started 23 of the 27 games over the last two years and was named second-team All-ACC as a junior. Clemson was 9-3 last year when he was in the starting lineup and 0-2 when he was out due to injury. Hairston was at his best in Clemson’s 40-37 overtime victory against Mi-ami when he had a season high 85 percent grade and seven knockdown blocks. He finished the year with 46 knockdown blocks and has 106 for his career. Landon Walker joins Hairston as returning two-year starters at tackle. The son of a former Clemson player, Walker started 12 games last year and has 22 starts over the last two years. He had 33 knockdown blocks last year, including five against TCU when he held TCU first team All-American Jerry Hughes with-out a sack and limited him to just two tackles. He also graded 82 percent in the win over Miami. Dalton Freeman is the returning starter at center. The native of Pelion, SC started the last nine games of the season and played 542 snaps in 13 games. The first-team Freshman All-American’s insertion into the starting lineup paral-leled Clemson’s offensive resurgence at midseason. The first game he started was against Wake Forest, the school his father had played for. Clemson won that game 38-3 and went on a six-game winning streak that led to the Atlantic Division ACC title. Junior Antoine McClain is the fourth returning starter on the 2010 of-fensive line. The native of Alabama started all 14 games last year and had 68 knockdown blocks, second best on the team. He had 12.5 knockdowns against Georgia Tech in the regular season game and 10 more in the ACC title game

against the Yellow Jackets, helping the Tigers to at least 30 points in both games. In many ways, Clemson really has five returning starters in 2010. Mason Cloy started five games last year at center and has 17 starts in his career. But, he suffered a broken leg in the ACC Championship game and missed the bowl game. He should be healthy when practice starts in August. Cloy was a fresh-man All-American guard in 2008. Swinney has four other returning lettermen offensive linemen. The list is led by David Smith, who has experience at both guard and tackle in his career and he will see playing time at both positions this spring. The junior has played in 19 games over the last two years and has three starts. Wilson Norris is a reserve guard who has played 15 games over the last two years, while Matt Sanders lettered at guard last year after playing six games as a freshman. Ben Ramsey is a veteran reserve center who has played in 15 games over the last three seasons. Sanders will also see some time at center this year. Red-shirt freshman Brandon Thomas will also be a factor on the of-fensive line in 2010 at tackle. Kalon Davis is a first-year freshman who entered in January and he will get his first action with the Tigers in the Spring. d e F e N S e (6 returning Starters, 25 returning lettermen) On paper, the strength of the Clemson defense should be on the front four and in the secondary. The Tigers return three of four starters on the defensive line, two starters in the secondary plus the return of a Freshman All-American, and one starter at linebacker. The leader of the defense will be safety DeAndre McDaniel, who had perhaps the best all-around season by a Clemson defensive back since College Football Hall of Fame safety Terry Kinard patrolled the secondary in 1982. Mc-Daniel was a first-team All-American by the Football Writers Association and a second team selection by five other services as a junior. He is a top candidate for the 2010 Jim Thorpe Award. The native of Tallahassee, FL led the ACC and ranked third in the nation in interceptions with eight last year, tied for the most in school history. He had 102 tackles to rank fourth on the team and was the only player in college football last year with at least eight interceptions and 100 tackles. McDaniel was at his best in Clemson’s thrilling win at Miami (FL) when he had two interceptions, including one that he returned for a touchdown in the Tigers’ 40-37 overtime victory over the number-eight ranked Hurricanes. He was named National Defensive Player of the Week by the Bednarik Award Com-mittee for that performance. Joining McDaniel in the starting secondary will be Marcus Gilchrist. The senior had 107 tackles as a starting safety last year, second-best on the team.

All-American deANdRe mcdANIeL will anchor Clemson’s de-fense in 2010 from the safety position. mcdaniel had a break-out 2009 season with 102 tackles and eight interceptions.






SEASON OUTLOOKHe had four double figure tackle games, including 10 against TCU, who scored a season low 14 points against Clemson’s defense. Gilchrist may move to a cornerback position this spring, an example of his all-around abilities. He has played cornerback previously in his career and with the play of freshman Rashard Hall, that may be the move Swinney and defensive coordinator Kevin Steele make. Hall had six interceptions and 63 tackles at a safety position last year. He started seven of the 14 games last year when he was named a first-team Fresh-man All-American. Hall had a streak of four straight games with an interception last year, tied for the longest streak in Clemson history. Clemson lost perhaps its top cornerback duo in 20 years when Chris Chancellor and Crezdon Butler graduated after last year. They combined for 20 career interceptions and 85 passes defensed over the last four years. It was not a coincidence that Clemson ranked in the top 20 in the nation in pass defense each of the last four years. Gilchrist figures to take over one of the cornerback positions, and there are experienced players back to move into the other starting cornerback slot. The leading candidate would appear to be senior Byron Maxwell, one of the top tacklers on the Clemson team. Maxwell had 36 stops last year and added a pair of interceptions as a reserve cornerback. He was also the top special teams tackler on the team with 15. Other returning lettermen at the cornerback position are Coty Sensa-baugh, who had 14 tackles and an interception, and Xavier Brewer, who had 15 stops in 2009. Other candidates for playing time at safety are Carlton Lewis, who had six stops in nine games last year, Jonathan Meeks, who had six tackles and an interception, two-time letterman Kantrell Brown and Spencer Adams, also an All-American hurdler on the Clemson track team. Jarvis Jenkins and Brandon Thompson return as starters on the interior

defensive line. They are in their third season working together. Jenkins was the top tackler among Clemson defensive linemen last year with 69 stops, including 11 tackles for loss and seven quarterback pressures. Thompson is a real run stopper and had 50 tackles last year in his 13 games as a starter. Clemson has great depth at the defensive tackle positions. Jamie Cumbie is really a third starter at the tackle position. He had 53 tackles in13 games as a reserve last year, the most tackles by a non-starter. The 6-7 lineman had 4.5 tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks to go with three pass deflections. Rennie Moore is another experienced tackle who was productive last year. He had 22 tackles, including 5.5 tackles for loss last season when he played in 13 games. Tyler Shatley is a red-shirt freshman tackle and Josh Watson is a first-year freshman who enrolled at Clemson in January. Da’Quan Bowers is a returning starter at defensive end. The number-one ranked player in the nation coming out of high school by ESPN.com, Bowers has had some injury problems his first two years. He had 58 tackles in 2009 even though he missed two games completely and played sparingly in three others due to injury. Still he had 11 tackles for loss and three sacks to go with 12 quarterback pressures. Malliciah Goodman and Andre Branch are two more talented defensive ends who will be key to Clemson’s point prevention unit. Goodman was a fresh-man All-ACC selection by Rivals.com and had 31 tackles and five tackles for loss as a first-year freshman in 2009. Branch might have been the most improved player on the Clemson defense as he had 46 tackles, including eight tackles for loss and a pair of sacks. Kourtnei Brown is another talented end who lettered in 2007 and 2008, then red-shirted last year. Brandon Maye is the leader of the Clemson linebacker corps. He had 103 tackles as a sophomore to rank third on the Clemson team. He had seven tack-les for loss and three sacks to go with 15 quarterback pressures. Maye also made first-team All- Academic All-ACC in 2009, his sophomore year. Scotty Cooper is a three-year returning letterman at a linebacker position and will be a candidate for a starting linebacker position. Cooper has starting experience over the last three years and is a veteran of 37 games and six starts. He had 16 tackles last season. Jonathan Willard and Corico Hawkins are two young linebackers who have been productive in their limited playing time so far. Hawkins had 19 tackles last season, including eight in the win over Coastal Carolina in just 18 snaps. He also had six tackles in the bowl win over Kentucky when Maye was injured. Willard had 10 tackles, including three tackles for loss in his 32 snaps on defense last year. Daniel Andrews is a two-year letter winner with experience at linebacker as well. S P e C I A L T e A m S Clemson returns its starting punter, starting kicker, starting snapper and starting holder. But, Swinney says the special teams might be the area on the team where he has the most questions. “We need to be more consistent in the kicking game this year, that is something we will examine very closely in the Spring and the preseason practices.” Richard Jackson made 20-31 field goals last year, including eight that were made from at least 40 yards out. He made 6-6 field goals in the win over Boston College to win the Leather Helmet Award as the game’s most valuable player. He was the only player in the nation to make six field goals in a game in 2009. He made three field goals of at least 50 yards, a first in Clemson history in one season. Matt Skinner returns as the starting snapper. The sophomore from Jacksonville, FL handled every snap in 2009. Mike Wade returns as the holder. Spencer Benton handled the kickoffs last year and did a solid job. Opponents’ average start was just their own 24-yard-line. Dawson Zimmerman is the returning starter at punter. Zimmerman had a 39.1 average on 55 punts last year and had 19 punts inside the 20. He had a solid individual net figure of 36 yards per punt. Clemson had one of the most dynamic return games in the nation last year thanks to the performance of Spiller and Ford who had two of the top 40 times at the NFL Combine last February. The Tigers ranked in the top 10 in the nation in kickoff returns and top 20 in punt returns and Clemson had an average starting field position advantage of 13 yards in 2009 after kickoffs. Clemson does have a couple of players who have experience in the return game. Andre Ellington and Marcus Gilchrist are two veteran players with experi-ence in the return game, but a freshman could also move into that area.

da ’quAN BoWeRS had 58 tackles in 2009, including 11 for loss, despite missing two games due to injury.





CLEMSON NOTESSwinney Leads Clemson to Top 25 Finish Clemson finished 24th in the final AP college football poll for 2009. The Tigers were 30th in poll points enter-ing the bowl season, but jumped six spots after defeating Kentucky in the Music City Bowl, 21-13, on December 27. “After a 2-3 start, finishing in the top 25 is a great accomplishment for this team and it showed the team’s character throughout the season,” said Clemson Head Coach Dabo Swinney. “There were a lot of questions about our team entering the season with a new head coach, a first-year offensive coordinator, two new safe-ties on defense, a new defensive coordinator, and a new quarterback to lead the offense. “Winning the Atlantic Division for the first time, winning a bowl game and finishing in the top 25 are all accomplishments that have set a good foundation.” Swinney was one of just two coaches in his first full season with a program to take his team to a top 25 final ranking. Chip Kelly of Oregon, who led the Ducks to a number 11 final AP ranking, was the only other first-year coach to do it this year. Swinney was the only first year coach in the nation to take his program to a final top 25 finish without a preseason top 25 ranking. Swinney is the third Clemson coach in history to lead the Tigers to a top 25 finish in his first full season. Charley Pell did in 1977 when he led Clemson to a 19th place finish in the final AP poll, and Ken Hatfield did it in 1990 when the Tigers finished ninth in the final AP poll. It marked the fifth time this decade that Clemson finished in the final top 25, tied for the 18th highest figure in the nation. It was the fourth time the program finished in the AP top 25 this decade without a preseason top 25 ranking. Only Boise State has accomplished that feat more than Clemson this decade, as the Broncos did it five times. Boston College and Oregon State have also done it four times. Overall, it was the eighth time in history that Clemson finished in the final top 25 without a preseason top 25 ranking. The other years were 1977, 1981, 1983, 1986, 2003, 2005 and 2007. Joining Clemson as teams that finished in the top 25 this year without a preseason ranking were Cincinnati (8th), Pittsburgh (15th), Wisconsin (16th), Miami (19th), Texas Tech (21st), Central Michigan (23rd) and West Virginia (25th). The importance of the bowl season on the final rankings was shown when comparing Clemson and West Virginia. Clemson was 30th in poll points and West Virginia was 18th in the rankings entering the bowl games, but

Clemson finished ahead of the Mountaineers in the final rankings. Northwestern, Houston, East Carolina, Arizona, Oklahoma State, Stanford, West Virginia and Oregon State were all ranked ahead of Clemson in the pre-bowl poll, but the Tigers jumped ahead of those schools in the final rankings. Overall, this is the 25th season Clemson has finished in the top 25.

Harbison Named Top 25 Recruiter Clemson assistant coach Charlie Harbison was named one of the top 25 recruiters in the nation by Rivals.com. Harbison was one of four ACC coaches on the list. He joined James Coley and Lawrence Dawsey of Florida State and James Franklin of Maryland.Clemson ranked 18th in the nation in the final Rivals.com recruiting rankings. Harbison signed six of Clemson’s 23 prospective student-athletes in the 2010 class announced on Feb. 3. All six of the prospects were from out of state, three from Georgia and three from Alabama. Harbison helped the Tigers to a 9-5 record this past season as the co-defensive coordinator and secondary coach. The Tigers had 21 interceptions to rank in a tie for fifth in the nation, and ranked seventh in the country in passing yards allowed per game with 162.8. Among the players he coached was DeAndre Mc-Daniel, who led the ACC in interceptions with a Clemson record tying eight. He was also named a first-team All-American by the Football Writers Association. This is Harbison’s second tour of the duty with the Tigers. He also coached the defensive backs from 1995-97. Among the players he coached at Clemson in his first stint was Brian Dawkins, who has gone on to become an eight-time Pro Bowl safety in the NFL.

Seven Tigers Named Academic All-ACC Seven members of the Clemson football team were named to the 2009 ACC All-Academic team. The Tigers had the second-most selections to the team, trailing only Duke, who had 12. The seven selections were the most ever for the Clemson program. The ACC has selected an Academic All-ACC football team every year since 1954. The previ-ous Clemson record was five selections in 1965, 1985, 2001, 2007 and 2008. Thomas Austin, who has graduated from Clemson and will be pursuing an NFL career next year, was named to the Academic All-ACC team for a record tying third time. Austin was a starter in every game this past season and served as one of the team co-captains. He was a third-team All-American according to the Sporting News on the field and was also second-team All-ACC. Michael Palmer was named to the team for the second time in his career, as he was also named two seasons ago. Palmer was a first-team All-ACC tight end on the field as well, as he had 43 catches in 2009 to set a Clemson record for a tight end. Palmer was one of three players to make first-team All-ACC on the field and in the classroom this year. He is just the second Clemson player to make first-team All-ACC on the field and in the classroom in the same year over the last nine years, joining C.J. Spiller (2008) with that distinction. Palmer is the first tight end in school history to make first-team All-ACC on the field and in the classroom in the same year. Sophomore linebacker Brandon Maye made the team for the second consecutive year. Maye was also a CoSIDA Academic All-District III selection this year. He ranked third on the Clemson team in tackles with 103 and set a Clemson record for caused fumbles with five. Mason Cloy and Dawson Zimmerman were a pair of sophomores named to the ACC Academic team. Cloy started five games and played in 13 of the 14. He had 52 knockdown blocks, third best on the team. He suffered a broken leg in the ACC Championship game against Georgia Tech, but will return for the 2010 season. Zim-merman was Clemson’s starting punter in 2009 with a 39.1 average. Two Clemson freshmen were named to the team and both were also named Freshmen All-Americans by various services for their work on the field. Safety Rashard Hall had six interceptions to rank 19th in the nation in that category. He also had 63 tackles to rank

Clemson won the ACC Atlantic division Title in 2009, and was led by dABo SWINNey, who guided the Tigers to a 9-5 mark in his first full season as head coach.






CLEMSON NOTESsixth on the team. Starting center Dalton Freeman also made the team. On the field he had nine starts in his 13 games. Clemson scored at least 34 points in six of the nine games he started in 2009. Five Tigers Named to Rivals.com All-ACC Fresh-man Team Kyle Parker, Dalton Freeman, Andre Ellington, Mal-licah Goodman and Rashard Hall were all named to the first-team All-ACC freshman team chosen by Rivals.com. Clemson had the most selections with five. Parker quarterbacked the Tigers to nine wins this year and tied for first nationally in wins by freshman quar-terbacks. He also established Clemson freshman records for touchdown passes, passing yards and completions. Freeman started nine games this year and helped the Tigers to an averaged of 31 points per game. The Tigers starting center helped Clemson to a six-game winning streak that led to Clemson’s Atlantic Division championship. Ellington was Clemson’s second leading rusher with 491 yards and four touchdowns. His 7.2 yards per carry average is third best in Clemson history and second best in the ACC in 2009. Goodman did not start a game, but had 31 tackles, including five tackles for loss and two sacks. He helped the Tigers lead the ACC in sacks. Hall ranked 19th in the nation in interceptions with six, the third most in Clemson history by a freshman. He had 63 tackles to rank sixth on the team. He had a streak of four straight games with an interception, tied for an all-time Clemson record. Parker, Freeman and Hall were also named to the Sporting News Freshman All-ACC team and were named Freshman All-Americans by College Football news.

Swinney Named Second Best Rookie Coach by Col-lege Football News Clemson Head Coach Dabo Swinney ranked second

among first-year head coaches by College Football News for the 2009 season. Swinney led the Tigers to a 9-5 record, the second most wins among the 22 programs that had a first-year head coach last season. Chip Kelly of Oregon was ranked first after he led Oregon to its first Pac-10 Championship and Rose Bowl bid since 1994. Oregon finished with a 10-3 record, the most wins in the nation among programs with a first-year head coach. Swinney coached Clemson to a 6-2 ACC record, tied for the best conference record for the Clemson program since 1991. The Tigers reached the ACC Championship game for the first time since the league went to a two-division format in 2005. Clemson finished the season 22nd in the final Sagarin Computer ranking, and 24th in the final AP poll and the final College Football News polls. Swinney was also named the ACC Coach of the Year by The Sporting News and was a finalist for the Liberty Mutual National Coach of the Year.

Clemson Second on Signing day Hits Clemson’s “Signing Day Central” website on clem-sontigers.com had the second most first impressions on the Fans Only Network according to data released by the network. Clemson had 90,181 first impressions on its Signing Day Central website on Wednesday, February 3, the first day prospective student-athletes could sign with Division I football programs. Tennessee’s “Signing Day Central” website was first among schools on the Fans Only network with 229,394. Notre Dame was third with 88, 482 and Oklahoma was fourth at 80,125. Clemson signed 23 student-athletes that day. The class was ranked 18th by Rivals.com, 19th by ESPN.com, and 23rd by Scout.com.

Tigers Won Atlantic division 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. Clemson finished a game ahead of Boston College in the Atlantic 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 Winners 10 Straight years Clemson clinched its 10th-straight winning season with the victory over Virginia on November 21. Clemson finished with a 9-5 record after the bowl win against Kentucky. The Tigers 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. Fourteen schools posted a winning season in every year in the first decade of the 21st century. In addition to Clemson, those schools are Boise State, Boston College, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Louisiana

State, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Southern Mississippi, Texas, Texas Tech, and Virginia Tech.

Clemson Had Seven Returns for Scores Clemson had seven touchdowns not scored by the team’s offense this year. The seven returns for touch-downs are in a tie for first in school history. C.J. Spiller had five of the seven on kick returns. The 1990 team also had seven returns for touchdowns. The 2009 team had four on kickoff returns (all by Spiller), two on punt returns (one by Spiller, one by Jacoby Ford), and one interception return for a score by DeAndre McDaniel.

Tigers Beat Hurricanes and Seminoles With the 40-24 win over Florida State on November 7, the 2009 Clemson 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 Miami 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 included 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 DeAndre McDaniel of Tallahassee, FL, Clemson’s inter-ception leader.

Ranked Wins on the Road Clemson gained victory over an #8-ranked Miami (FL) team on October 24. It was Clemsonís 59th all-time win over a top-25 team, the 20th over a team on an op-ponent’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 erected 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-

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 Ten-nessee in the 2003 Peach Bowl.

Tigers Had Productive offense Clemson made a lot of progress on offense in 2009. After struggling at times in the first five games, the Tigers scored at least 34 points in seven of the last nine games and finished the season with 436 total points, most in Clemson history. The 2009 Tigers scored 54 touchdowns, just one off the school record, and averaged 5.75 yards per play, fourth best in school history. In terms of many categories, it is among the top offenses in school history.

Clemson Rushing Game Improved One of the areas Clemson improved in 2009 was the running game. The Tigers averaged 170.4 yards per game, up from 111.5 yards per game in 2008. Clemson was 10th in the ACC in rushing in 2008 and finished third in 2009. Clemson also improved in yards per carry from 3.4 to 4.81. 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 rush-ing yards against N.C. State. Clemson had three straight games with at least 240 rushing yards, the first time that had happened since 2000. The best game of the year came in the ACC Championship game when the Tigers had 323 rushing yards. Clemson had 180 yards rushing in the win over Kentucky in the Music City Bowl.

Clemson Throwing to the Tight end Clemson threw to the tight end at a record rate in 2009. Over the course of the season, Clemson tight ends caught 60 passes for 651 yards and eight scores. Those totals were all Clemson records for the course of a season. 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 touchdowns. Tight ends caught nine more passes at South Carolina. Leading the way was Michael Palmer with 43 catches for 507 yards and four scores. The total catches and yards were the most ever for a Clemson tight end. Palmer made first team All-ACC in 2009, the first Clem-son tight end to make first-team All-ACC since 1986.

Clemson Pass defense in Top 25 Again Clemson had an outstanding pass defense in 2009. Clemson held both Georgia Tech (in the regular-season meeting) and Boston College to under 30 percent in consecutive games on September 10 and September 19, respectively. In the 31 years prior to the 2009 season, Clemson had done that just eight times total. The Tigers held Wake Forest to a pass efficiency rating of 62.1. Clemson finished the 2009 season ranked seventh in the nation in passing yards allowed with a 162.8 figure. The team was also 21st in pass efficiency defense and tied for fifth in total interceptions with 21. Opponents completed just 51.2 percent of their passes.

The interception total was tied for fifth best in Clemson history and tied for fifth best in the nation in 2009. The 342 interception return yards rank third best in school history. This interception total was certainly a positive reflection on the work of Defensive Backs Coach Charlie Harbison, who is also co-defensive coordinator. The 2009 season was his first year in his second tour of duty. 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, Harbison coached a secondary that was led by safety Brian Dawk-ins, who had an ACC-high six interceptions. Dawkins is an eight-time NFL Pro Bowler now with the Denver Broncos. This year, he is coaching safety DeAndre McDaniel, who had an ACC-best eight interceptions. That 1995 team also had future NFL players Leomont Evans, Dexter McCleon, and Antwan Edwards.

Tigers Played difficult Schedule Clemson played a difficult schedule in 2009. The combined record of the three non-ACC teams at the FBS level was 29-10. Clemson played Middle Tennessee (10-3), Texas Christian (12-1), and South Carolina (7-6) outside the ACC, and all three played in bowl games. Clemson was one of four schools at the FBS level to play four games against top-15 teams through the end of the conference championship season. The others were Oregon, Georgia, and South Carolina. Clemson 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 ranked 22nd in the final Sagarin Computer poll and had the #24 ranked strength of schedule.

Swinney Continues Tradition of Alabama Coaches Dabo Swinney is a 1993 Alabama graduate and is carrying on the tradition of successful Alabama graduates who have been Clemson head coaches. Swinney has a 13-8 record as Clemson’s head coach, including the 9-5 mark in 2009, his first full season. He took Clemson to the ACC Atlantic Divi-sion title for the first time. Clemson has won 13 ACC Championships and 12 have been coached by Ala-bama graduates. The Alabama graduates who have coached Clemson to the ACC title are Frank Howard, Charley Pell, and Danny Ford.

CLEMSON NOTESClemson Staff Has experience Clemson has an experienced staff. The 10 coaches have a combined 158 years of coaching experience at the Division I level as a full-time assistant coach entering the 2010 season. Those coaches have been to a combined 113 bowl games and have won a combined 17 confer-ence titles. Four of the coaches have been on a staff that won a national title. Kevin Steele was on a national champion-ship 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, but he played on a national championship team at Alabama. Associate athletic direc-tor Woody McCorvey, was on the national championship staff at Alabama in 1992.

Three Tigers in Top 20 in Six Categories Clemson had three players who were in the final top 25 in the nation in various statistical categories. The list was led by C.J. Spiller, who was fourth in the nation in all-purpose yards, third in kickoff returns, fifth in touchdowns, and 14th in scoring. DeAndre McDaniel was third in interceptions per game and Freshman safety Rashard

Hall was 19th in that same category. Placekicker Richard Jackson did not rank in the top 25 in field goals, but was the only player in the nation to kick six field goals in a game in 2009.

Spiller & mcdaniel Named FW All-American C.J. Spiller and DeAndre McDaniel were both named first-team All-Americans by the Football Writers Association of America on December 12, 2009. It was the first first-team selection for McDaniel, who was tied for third in the nation in interceptions with eight this past season. Clemson was one of just four schools to have at least two first-team All-America selections in 2009. Alabama had three to lead all schools, while Clemson, Florida, and Texas had two apiece. This marked the first time since 1991 that Clemson had two first-team selections on the same All-America 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 ac-cording 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 addition to Spiller and McDaniel, Florida State offensive lineman Rodney Hudson was selected.

Jackson Set Records in 2009 Richard Jackson was the recipient of the “Leather Helmet” Award in Clemson’s victory over Boston College. Jackson booted six field goals in Clemsonís 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 was the only player in the nation to kick six field goals in a game in 2009. 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 already established 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 Boston College by the Lou Groza Award committee.

maye Sets Caused Fumbles Record Starting linebacker Brandon Maye had five caused fumbles in 2009, 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 captain of Clemsonís 1981 National Championship team. Maye is halfway to that record. Maye had a solid 2009. He was named an Honor-able Mention All-ACC selection and an ESPN Academic

All-District choice. He was Clemson’s third leading tackler (103) in 2009. He had had double-figures in tackles four times this year, including three of the last five.

Napier the ACC’s youngest Coordinator Clemson offensive coordinator Billy Napier was the youngest coordinator in the ACC in 2009 and the young-est coordinator 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 was the youngest coordinator on either side of the ball in the ACC by seven years in 2009. The second youngest was Duke offensive coordinator Kurt Roper, who was born July 25, 1972. James Franklin, the offensive 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 defensive 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 was also the youngest head coach in the ACC. Swinney turned 40 on November 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 Carolina. 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 had quite a senior season with 43 catches for 507 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 Champion-ship 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.Receptions By a Tiger Tight endPlayer year Rec. yards Tdmichael Palmer 2009 43 507 4John McMakin 1970 40 421 4John McMakin 1971 29 421 5Bennie Cunningham 1974 24 391 7Bennie Cunningham 1973 22 341 1K.D.

Parker #5 in ACC History Kyle Parker threw for 2,526 yards in 2009, 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 threw for 20 touchdown passes, including 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. But the seven straight games with a touchdown pass was a Clemson record.

BRANdoN mAye forced a school-record five fumbles, while also making 103 stops in 2009. He was named an Honorable mention All-ACC selection and an eSPN Academic All-district choice.





CLEMSON NOTESas the starting quarterback, he tied for the national lead in wins by a freshmen quarterback. Matt Barkley of Southern California also had nine. But, only Parker took his team to a conference title game. Parker broke the school record for wins by a freshman quarterback. The previous record was five by Rodney Williams in 1985.

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 Ma-jor Leaguer Denny Walling and current Cub Jeff Baker among the 12 Tigers to do that in a game. In the Spring of 2009 , 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 entering the 2010 season. 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 Championship. 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 had nine, 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 had 20 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 (2,526). Whitehurst had that mark with 1,554 in 2002. Parker’s 20 touchdown passes actually are fourth-most in school history regardless of class. The record is 27 by Cullen Harper in 2007. Parker was named a freshman All-American in baseball in the spring of 2008 and was named a second-team freshman All-American in football in 2009.

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 specialist and second-team running back. Brandon Maye (LB), Jarvis Jenkins (DT), Chris Chancellor (CB), Crezdon Butler (CB), and Rashard Hall (S) were all honorable-mention selections.

dye Named to 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 Clemson 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 maintaining good academic standing. Candidates must also display sincere concern and reliability, while also having made a favorable impression on the organizations with which they are involved. Neither athletic ability nor on-the-field achievements are among the selection criteria. Dye, a native of Greenwood, SC, has been active in community service since he came to Clemson in January of 2007.

ellington Averaged 7.22 yards Per Carry While C.J. Spiller had perhaps the best individual season in Clemson history, there may be a more-than-capable replacement for the Tigers top rusher in 2010. Freshman running back Andre Ellington gained 491 yards on 68 carries this year (7.22 yards per carry). The 7.22 figure was second-best in the ACC among players with at least 400 rushing yards in 2009, and is third-best in Clemson history. Ellington’s 7.22 figure was just behind the 7.27 figure by Spiller when he was a freshman in 2006. The Clemson single-season record is

60 years old. Billy Hair had a 7.39 average on 71 carries on Clemson’s undefeated 1950 team.

Spiller effect Clemson had an average starting field position after a kickoff at its own 37 in 2009. Opponents had an average starting field position at their own 24. That 13-yard difference can certainly be attributed directly to the return ability of C.J. Spiller, who had four kickoff returns for touchdowns in just 23 returns, and seven for his career. The seven touchdowns on kickoff returns are an NCAA record. He was third in the nation in kickoff return average with a 32.8 average. The Spiller effect led Clemson to an overall starting field position advantage of eight yards on all possessions. Clemson had had an average start at its own 37 this year and opponents their own 29.

ANdRe eLLINGToN is Clemson’s leading returning rusher. He averaged 7.22 yards per carry as a fresh-man when he toted the ball 68 times for 491 yards.






CLEMSON NOTES Twenty-six times in 61 kickoffs, opponents either squib kicked or kicked the ball out of bounds in an attempt to keep the ball away from Spiller.

Spiller & Ford the Nation’s Top All-Purpose duo C.J. Spiller and Jacoby Ford established the record as the top all-purpose duo in the history of college football during the 2009 season. They combined for 11,671 yards and 72 touchdowns 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 over 1,400 yards. That computes to 6.63 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) Below is a rundown of their career totals in each category.

Spiller Breaks Longstanding ACC Record Running back C.J. Spiller established an ACC record in the win over Virginia. He went past former Virginia back Thomas Jones in that game in terms of all-purpose running. Jones had 2054 in 1999. Spiller finished with 2680, so he broke the record by 30 percent. Spiller also broke the ACC all-purpose mark of another former Virginia player. Frank Quayle had held the ACC record for all-purpose running yards per game since 1968 with 186.9. But Spiller finished the year with 191.4 to break the mark.

Spiller Compares Well With All-Purpose Greats It is difficult to quantify the all-around accomplish-ments of running back C.J. Spiller in 2009 and over his career. Spiller’s 191 yards per game in 2009 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 finished his career in second place in NCAA history. Spiller’s impact on the game can be compared with some previous Heisman winners, or near Heisman win-ners 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 Howard (Michigan, 1989-91), and Reggie Bush (Southern California, 2003-05).

Spiller Has 100-yard Games Four Ways C.J. Spiller reached the 100-yard mark in four dif-ferent areas over his career, the only player in Clemson 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 finished with 12 100-yard rush-ing games in his career. Spiller also had 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.

Spiller establishes ACC Record C.J. Spiller had 176 all-purpose yards at Mary-land and became the ACC’s all-time leader in that area in the process. He finished his career with 7,588 in his career and broke the record of 5,828 by Leon Johnson of North Carolina (1993-96). So, he broke the record by nearly 1,760 yards, or by 30 percent more than the existing record.

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 started just 19 games in his career. He split time with James Davis (now with Cleveland Browns) his first three years. Spiller finished his career with a 5.85 yards per carry aver-age, second best in Clemson history among players with at least 1000 rushing yards. He finished third in school history in career rushing yards.

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





CLEMSON NOTESCamp 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 Michael Dean Perry (1987). He was the only player in the nation to score at least one touchdown in every game this year and has a school-record 20.

Spiller over 1,000 Rushing yards 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 Tiger 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 finished the 2009 season with 1212 rushing yards, fourth best in Clemson history and best by a Tiger running back since 1996 when Ray-mond Priester had a record 1345.. Overall, Spiller was the 12th Tiger to record a 1,000-yard rushing season. Two players have done it twice, Priester and Woodrow Dantzler, so Spiller’s was the 14th-different 1,000-yard rushing season.

Spiller Third in ACC History in KoR Average C.J. Spiller had 2052 career kickoff return yards on 74 returns, a 27.7-yard average. That includes a 32.8-yard average in 2009. Spiller is third in ACC history in kickoff return average on a career basis. It is interesting to note that three of the top four aver-ages in ACC history are held by Tigers. Spiller also finished with 51 career touchdowns, a Clemson record, but just one short of the ACC ca-reer record of 52 set by Wali Lundy of Virginia.

Spiller was a lock to set the Clemson all-purpose yardage record when the season start-ed, but 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 recorded the top-three games in school history in 2009. No Tiger had a 300-yard all-purpose yardage game pri-or to the 2009 season, but Spiller did it three times this year, at #8 Miami (FL), at home against Florida State, and in the ACC Championship game against #12 Georgia Tech.

Spiller Sixth in Final Heisman Voting C.J. Spiller finished sixth in the 2009 Heisman Trophy 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 Heisman finish by a Tiger. Spiller had 26 first-place votes, 31 second-place votes, and 83 third-place votes in recording 223 Heisman points. He was named on 140 of the 925 ballots. He was 167 points behind Florida quar-terback Tim Tebow in the Heisman voting. The 26 first-place votes and 223 voting points were also the most ever by a Tiger.

At age 40, Dabo Swinney is the youngest head coach in the ACC and one of the young-est in the country, but he has handled his first full season as Clemson’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 six points short of winning their first ACC title in 18 years. Swinney was named the ACC Coach of the Year by The Sporting News and was a fi-nalist for the Liberty Mutual Coach-of-the-Year award. Swinney accumulated nine wins, second-most among all FBS coaches in their first full year behind Oregon’s Chip Kelly. The nine wins tied for fourth-most in ACC history for a first-year head coach. He also led the Tigers’ to their first bowl win since 2005 in the 21-13 victory over Kentucky in the Music City Bowl and a #24 final AP Poll ranking. The Tigers reached the nine-win mark playing a schedule that included four games against top-15 opponents, just the second year in school history (1999) that Clemson 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 opponents had a combined record of 29-10 in 2009. Clemson gave #6 Texas Christian one of its stiffest tests in a 14-10 Horned Frog victory on September 26. Swinney’s first season included a six-game winning streak at midseason, a streak that saw the Tigers score at least 34 points in ev-ery game, a first in school history. During that

stretch, the Tigers defeated #8 Miami (FL) on the road. The 40-37 overtime victory tied for the highest-ranked team Clemson has defeat-ed on the road in school history. That was the second of six straight wins, the longest winning streak for the Clemson program in four years. The streak also includ-ed a 40-24 nationally-televised win over Florida State and Bobby Bowden, the Hall of Fame coach who is second in victories in FBS his-tory. The winning streak brought Clemson to a #15 national ranking in the AP poll after the Atlantic Division clinching victory over Virginia on November 21. The Tigers had success on offense, de-fense, and special teams during the 2009 season. The Tigers were 28th in the nation and third in the ACC in scoring offense (31.1), while the defense was 20th in total defense (314.3) and seventh in pass defense (162.8). Clemson was in a tie for fifth in the country in interceptions (21) as well. Clemson added a school-record six kick re-turns for touchdowns in 2009, four on kickoff returns and two on punt returns. The main reason Clemson was so outstand-ing 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 unanimous first-team All-American. He had five kick returns for touch-downs 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 was also the only FBS player to score at least one touchdown in every game in 2009. Overall, the Tigers held down three posi-tions 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 pro-gram for nearly 10 seasons. Then on Decem-ber 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 as-sistant 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 2008. That mark included four victories 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 pe-riod. Four of his six regular-season opponents 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 Georgia Tech team. He had to re-organize his staff, and regroup his team and





HEAD COACH DABO SWINNEYClemson Nation in just five days. While the Ti-gers lost by four points, he accomplished many goals in that first week through his outstanding leadership. One of the most impressive dem-onstrations of unity came during the team’s “Tiger Walk.” Prior to the game against the Yellow Jack-ets, Swinney decided to have his team depart buses outside the Lot 5 parking lot near the WestZone at Memorial Stadium and experi-ence 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 participate 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 involve-ment through his foundation. His foundation made the first contribution to the cancer fund established for Boston College linebacker Mark Herzlich. Many schools followed his lead the remainder of the season. The Liberty Mutual Coach-of-the-Year award evaluates coaching performances in terms of coaching excellence, sportsmanship, integrity, academic excellence, and community com-mitment. 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 trail-ing in the fourth quarter, his troops rallied for a 27-21 win, giving Clemson 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 coordi-nator during the second half of 2008. Clem-son showed its road prowess the following 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 bal-anced attack (184 rushing yards, 199 passing yards) to top the Gamecocks 31-14 at Memo-rial Stadium. Clemson also had four intercep-

tions against Steve Spurrier’s offense and held it to just 22-47 passing for 212 yards. The fol-lowing week, the Tigers accepted an invitation to play in the Gator Bowl against Nebraska, a game in which the Cornhuskers were victori-ous by a score of 26-21. The 1993 Alabama graduate joined the Clemson staff prior to the 2003 season. In his seven years, the Tigers have finished in the top 25 of the final polls four times and totaled 10 wins over top-25 teams, including victories over Florida State (4), Miami (FL) (2), and Ten-nessee (1), during his tenure in Tigertown. Swinney coached his wide receiver posi-tion 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 five of the last six 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 players), also an unprecedented feat at Clemson. In 2004 and 2005, he coached the ACC reception champion (Airese Currie (2004), Chansi Stuckey (2005)). It was the first time Clemson had two different players lead the ACC in receptions in consecutive years. In 2007, Aaron Kelly led the ACC in yards, giv-ing 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 of-fense, 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 touch-downs (55). In 2007, he coached Kelly, a First-Team All-ACC selection 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 catches, 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 record 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 #5 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 major reason Clemson’s 2008 re-cruiting 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 nation by Rivals.com in 2007 as well. When Swinney accepted the interim head coaching position on Oc-tober 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 receiver at West Virginia and Swinney was a walk-on at Alabama. Swinney received a commerce & business administration 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 graduate assistant coach from 1993-95 at Alabama, where he coached in the 1994 Ga-tor Bowl and 1995 Citrus Bowl. In December of 1995, he received a master’s degree 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 sea-sons 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 Ala-bama 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, Kelly, Tyler Grisham, 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 finishes, one national title (1992), three SEC championships (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 pri-vate business in Alabama. He married the former Kathleen Bassett in 1994. They have three sons, Will (11), Drew (9), and Clay (6).
