PERSONNEL OVERVIEW

Offense Clemson enters the Chick-fil-A Bowl with a 10-2 record along with a #13 ranking in the coaches poll and #15 rank-ing by AP. The Tigers had a 7-1 ACC mark and were co-champions of the Atlantic Division. It is the Tigers’ third ACC Atlantic Division title in the last four years. It is also Clemson’s second straight 10-win season, a first for the program since the 1987-90 era, and the second straight year Clemson has finished in the top 15 of the BCS stand-ings.

The Tigers have established school records for points (508), total offense (6,220), passing efficiency (165.5), and touchdowns (65). Clemson has won 10 games, including nine by 14+ points. The Tigers also had a school-record streak of 10 straight games of scoring at least 37 points and seven straight wins of 14+ points. Clemson is led on offense by ACC Player-of-the-Year Tajh Boyd. The junior quarterback leads the nation in points responsibility thanks to 43 combined touchdowns (nine rushing, 34 passing) and four points on two-point

conversions. He broke his own ACC mark in that category and needs just one passing touchdown to break the con-ference mark in that category for a season. Boyd, who is a first-team All-America quarterback by AFCA, has completed 251-377 passes for 3,550 yards. He is third in the nation in yards per passing attempt (9.42), which is on pace to break the Clemson record of 9.19, set by Bobby Gage in 1947. Boyd leads the nation in comple-tions of 25+ yards (46) as well. Boyd was one of six Clemson players named First-Team All-ACC on offense, the most by any ACC team on the offensive side of the ball since Florida State had six selections in 1995. Center Dalton Freeman is a first-team All-American according to AFCA in addition to being First-Team All-ACC for the second straight year. The two-time Rimington Trophy finalist is the first Tiger center to earn First-Team All-ACC honors two years in a row and has started 48 consecutive games. He is also a second-team Academic All-American. Brandon Thomas, the starting left offensive tackle, also earned First-Team All-ACC honors and has started all 12 games this season. Thomas is a junior, one of four underclassmen starting on Clemson’s offensive line. Tyler Shatley is a starting offensive guard who has had an out-standing year, his first season on the offensive side of the ball after lettering as a defensive tackle the previous two seasons. Boyd has many more weapons on offense who have helped the Tigers to 518.3 yards per game. DeAndre Hop-kins is a second-team All-American and First-Team All-ACC wide receiver who is second in the nation in receiving touchdowns (16), just one short of the ACC record. He has 69 receptions for 1,214 yards and is averaging 17.6 yards per catch. Hopkins has at least one receiving touchdown in nine straight games, tying the ACC record also held by Herman Moore (Virginia) in 1990. Hopkins has at least one receiv-ing touchdown in 11 of the 12 games, as that is an ACC record for number of games with a receiving touchdown in a season. Sammy Watkins is another outstanding weapon for the Clemson offense. The sophomore wideout, who was a first-team All-American as a freshman in 2011, has missed

PERSONNEL OVERVIEWthree games this season, but still has 57 receptions for 708 yards and leads the team in all-purpose yards per game (119.6). That gives the Hopkins-Watkins duo a combined total of 126 receptions for 1,922 yards and 19 touchdowns this year. In 2011, they combined for 154 receptions for 2,197 yards and 17 touchdowns in 14 games. Running back Andre Ellington is another First-Team All-ACC performer who has 1,031 rushing yards and eight touchdowns. It is his second straight 1,000-yard rushing season, just the third running back in Clemson history with a pair of 1,000-yard rushing seasons. He is fourth in Tiger history in career rushing yards (3,386) and has 33 rushing touchdowns. Ellington is second in the ACC in rushing yards per game (85.9) and has a team-high 1,381 all-purpose yards in 2012. Clemson has many other talented wide receivers. Adam Humphries has started just three games, but he is third on the team in receiving with 33 catches for 253 yards. Sophomore Charone Peake has 24 receptions for 171 yards. Brandon Ford is the First-Team All-ACC tight end thanks in large part to eight receiving touchdowns, the second-highest figure in the nation among tight ends and tied for the most by a Tiger tight end in history. He has 31 catches for 411 yards. Ford, who has 12 career receiving touchdowns, needs just one touchdown catch to set the Clemson season and career touchdown record by a Tiger tight end. Backup tight end Sam Cooper has two receiv-ing touchdowns and Stanton Seckinger has one, giving the position 11 of Clemson’s school-record 38 receiving touchdowns in 2012.

Defense Clemson’s defense is led by senior safety Rashard Hall, who earned first-team All-ACC honors by CBSSports.com and Second-Team All-ACC accolades by the media). He leads the team in interceptions (4) and has 14 in his ca-reer, just three short of the Clemson career record of 17 (by College Football Hall of Famer Terry Kinard). Hall is third in school history in career takeaways (17). He also has 75 tackles this season, fourth-most on the team, and 292 ca-reer tackles. Jonathan Willard and Spencer Shuey, two of Clemson’s three starting linebackers, lead the team in tackles with 88 apiece. Willard has a team-high 9.5 tackles for loss and is tied for the team lead in pass breakups (6). In many ways, Willard has been the most consistent player on the Tiger defense in 2012.

Shuey did not become a starter until midseason, but came on strong to record 64 tackles in the last six games, most on the team during the second half of the season. He tackled Georgia Tech’s Orwin Smith in the endzone for a safety, a key play for the defense this season. He had 15 tackles in the win over Virginia Tech and 14 against N.C. State for the top-two tackle totals of the season by a Tiger. Stephone Anthony has 76 tackles, third-most on the team, and has started seven games. He led or tied for the team-lead in tackles in each of the first three games this season and in four games overall. The leading tacklers among the defensive linemen are Josh Watson and DeShawn Williams, who have 51 tackles and 47 tackles, respectively. Watson has three sacks and a team-high 12 quarterback pressures. Williams has five tackles for loss and two sacks. The big-play member on the defensive line is reserve defensive end Vic Beasley, who has a team-high eight sacks in just 279 snaps. That is a sack every 35 snaps, a bet-ter ratio than Da’Quan Bowers had when he led the nation in sacks two seasons ago. Beasley also has eight quarter-back pressures. Corey Crawford is another defensive end who has played well during the second half of the season and has 46 tackles overall, including six tackles for loss. He had a fumble return for a touchdown in the win over Maryland. Malliciah Goodman is a senior leader who earned Honor-able Mention All-ACC honors at defensive end and has 24 tackles, including four sacks, in 2012. Xavier Brewer and Jonathan Meeks are two more se-niors in the secondary who are big contributors to the de-fensive efforts. Brewer had the best game of his career in the season-finale against #12 South Carolina when he had 12 tackles, two tackles for loss, one sack, and an intercep-tion. He became the first Tiger defensive back to record a sack and an interception in the same game in four years. The cornerback also has seven tackles for loss, second-most on the team. Meeks was the Jim Thorpe National Defensive Back-of-the-Week in Clemson’s win over Virginia Tech when he had two interceptions, including one he returned 74 yards for a touchdown. He is fifth in school history in career intercep-tion return yards and has 57 tackles, tied for fifth-most on the team, in 2012. Travis Blanks, a second-team freshman All-American, is an all-purpose player on the second and third lines of defense who also has 57 tackles. He has been Clemson’s most productive first-year freshman and has played 547 snaps, far more than any other rookie. The Tallahassee, FL native had a season-high eight tackles at #4 Florida State.

Special Teams Clemson’s kicking game is led by Second-Team All-ACC placekicker Chandler Catanzaro. All the junior has done this year is kick the ball through the uprights in 72 of 74 attempts. He is 16-17 on field goals and 56-57 on extra points. He had a streak of 20 consecutive made field goals over two years, six more than the previous longest streak in Clemson history. He is the Tigers’ leading scorer with 104 points and is second in school history in field goals of 40+ yards (19). Spencer Benton is a valuable player of the kicking teams as well. He has a 38.6-yard average on 42 punts, in-cluding 14 inside the 20 with just one touchback. Benton also has 30 touchbacks in 65 kickoffs and holds on Catan-zaro’s placekick attempts. Benton has 28 career tackles on special teams, three times as many tackles as any kicker in school history, as well.

CLEMSON’S BOWL RESULTS (16-18)Clemson’s Bowl History Clemson has a rich bowl tradition. One of the reasons has been Clemson’s historical success against schools with legendary football traditions. The list of schools Clemson has beaten in bowl games includes five of the top-12 win-ningest programs in the history of FBS...Nebraska (#4), Oklahoma (#5), Ohio State (#7), Tennessee (#8), and Penn State (#12). Clemson has 16 bowl victories, the 19th-highest total in FBS history. Ten of the 16 bowl victories have come against coaches who are in the College Football Hall of Fame. Of course, Clemson’s greatest bowl experience was the National Championship clinching victory over Nebraska in the 1982 Orange Bowl. The Tigers were ranked #1 in the nation entering that contest and faced #4 Nebraska and Head Coach Tom Osborne. Danny Ford led the Tigers to a 22-15 victory to give the Tigers the national title and made him the youngest (33) coach of a national championship team in college football history. He still holds that distinc-tion. Clemson’s first bowl game was in the 1940 Cotton Bowl when the Tigers defeated Frank Leahy and Boston College, 6-3. Clemson won its first three bowl games, victories over Boston College, Missouri, and Miami (FL). The three coach-es Clemson defeated 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 led the program as head coach. No less than seven different head coaches (Jess Neely, Frank Howard, Danny Ford, Ken Hat-field, Tommy West, Tommy Bowden, Dabo Swinney) have won bowl games for the Tigers. Overall, 10 of Clemson’s 16 bowl victories have come against coaches who are in the College Football Hall of Fame. That includes Joe Paterno, who suffered his worst margin of defeat in a bowl game to Clemson in 1987. Clemson has four bowl victories over coaches who are in the 200-win club. Woody Hayes (Ohio State), Tom Osborne (Nebraska), Paterno and Don Nehlen (West Virginia) are all coaches with at least 200 wins who lost bowl games to the Tigers.

Clemson vs. Ranked Teams in Bowl Games Clemson has an 11-11 record in bowl games against top-25 opponents. That includes a 27-14 win over #6 Ten-nessee in the 2004 Peach Bowl, the last time the Tigers defeated a top-25 ranked team in a bowl game. Overall, Clemson has a 1-4 record against top-25 teams in the Peach/Chick-fil-A Bowl. Louisiana State is ranked #7 by USA Today and #9 by AP entering the Chick-fil-A Bowl. The #7 ranking is tied for the fifth-highest ranked team Clemson has faced in a bowl game. The highest-ranked team Clemson has faced is Loui-siana State, who was ranked #1 entering the 1959 Sugar Bowl (1958 season). Clemson defeated #4 Nebraska when it won the national title in the 1982 Orange Bowl. Clemson also defeated #7 TCU in the 1959 Bluebonnet Bowl. Clemson is 3-2 against top-seven ranked teams in bowl games in its history as well.

Tigers vs. Tigers in Chick-fil-A Bowl Clemson (10-2) will face Louisiana State (10-2) in the 2012 Chick-fil-A Bowl in the Georgia Dome at Atlanta, GA on December 31. Both teams are ranked in the top 14 in the nation in both polls, as Clemson is ranked #14 by AP

and #13 by USA Today, while Louisiana State is #7 by USA Today and #9 by AP. This will be the highest-ranked team Clemson has faced in a bowl game since the 2003 season, when the Tigers upset #6 Tennessee in the Peach Bowl. This will be the first meeting between the two schools who both call their home stadium “Death Val-ley” since the 1996 Peach Bowl, a game also played in the Georgia Dome. The SEC Tigers won that game 10-7. Overall, it will be just the third all-time meeting between the two schools. The first meeting was played in New Orleans, LA on January 1, 1959, when top-ranked Louisiana State defeated Clemson 7-0. Louisiana State won the National Championship that season, but in those days, wire-service polls were not taken after the bowls, so technically they did not have to beat Clem-son to win the title. This will be Clemson’s eighth appearance in the Chick-fil-A Bowl (formerly known as the Peach Bowl), but its first since a 23-20 overtime loss against Auburn in 2007. Clemson’s last victory in the bowl took place in January of 2004 when the Tigers upset Tennessee 27-14. The Tigers are 2-5 overall in their previous appearances in this bowl game. The Clemson vs. Louisiana State game will feature one of the top offenses against one of the top defenses in the nation. Clemson is sixth in the nation in scoring offense (42.3), ninth in total offense (518.3), and 13th in passing offense (319.6). Those are all record rates for the Clemson program.

Louisiana State counters with a defense that is eighth in the nation in total defense (296.2), ninth in pass efficiency defense (101.4), ninth in rushing defense (101.8), and 11th in scoring defense (16.9). Clemson has scored at least 37 points in 10 of the 12 games this year, while Louisiana State has allowed over 22 points just once, a 41-35 win over Mississippi. Clemson’s offense features six First-Team All-ACC per-formers, something no ACC team has done since 1995. The group is led by quarterback Tajh Boyd, a first-team All-American (AFCA) and the ACC Player-of-the-Year, who is fourth in the nation in passing efficiency. He has already set the ACC record for touchdown responsibility in a sea-son (43), and has tied the league mark for passing touch-downs (34). His offensive line features two First-Team All-ACC play-ers in center Dalton Freeman and left tackle Brandon Thomas.

BOWL NOTES Linebackers Jonathan Willard and Spencer Shuey are tied for the team lead in tackles (88). Shuey has started each of the last six games and has 64 of his 88 tackles in those six games. Xavier Brewer and Jonathan Meeks are two experienced defensive backs. Brewer was named ACC Defensive Back-of-the-Week in the season-finale against #12 South Carolina when he had 12 tackles, three tackles for loss, one sack, and one interception. Chandler Catanzaro is a Second-Team All-ACC place-kicker who has attempted 74 placekicks this year, and 72 have gone through the uprights. The junior is 16-17 on field goals and 56-57 on extra points. He had a streak of 20 consecutive made field goals over two years, the longest streak in Clemson history. The Chick-fil-A Bowl is annually one of the most com-petitive bowl games. Over the 20 years this has been an ACC vs. SEC matchup, teams from each league have won 10 times. Ten of the last 20 games have been decided by a touchdown or less as well.

Clemson’s Chick-fil-A Bowl History Clemson has a 2-5 record in the Chick-fil-A Bowl, for-merly known as the Peach Bowl. Six of the seven games have been played in the Georgia Dome, as the 1979 game was played at Fulton County Stadium. Clemson has played in the Chick-fil-A Bowl more than any other school. Six of the seven games have been against top-25 ranked teams, and this game with Louisiana State will make it seven out of eight, as Louisiana State is ranked #7 by USA Today and #9 by AP. Clemson’s first game in the Peach Bowl came on De-cember 31, 1979, a 24-18 loss to Baylor, led by future Chi-cago Bear great Mike Singletary. Clemson recovered an onside kick and drove into Baylor territory in the final min-utes, but a long pass fell incomplete in the final seconds. The Tigers won the 1993 Peach Bowl against Kentucky on a 21-yard touchdown pass from Patrick Sapp (now Clemson radio network’s sideline reporter) to Terry Smith (late uncle of current Clemson wideout DeAndre Hopkins) with 20 seconds left in the game for a 14-13 victory. Clemson lost consecutive games decided by four points or less in the 1996 and 1997 season Peach Bowls to top-20 teams Louisiana State and Auburn, respectively, then lost to #15 Mississippi State in the 1999 game by a score of 17-7. The Tigers snapped their three-game losing streak in the Peach Bowl with a 27-14 win over #6 Tennessee at the end of the 2003 season. Charlie Whitehurst passed for 272 yards in the victory. Clemson lost to Auburn in overtime 23-20 in its most recent appearance (2007). It is the only overtime bowl game in Clemson history. C.J. Spiller had an 83-yard run to highlight the game for Clemson.

1959 Sugar Bowl Recap Top-ranked Louisiana State downed #12 Clemson in the 1959 Sugar Bowl in New Orleans, LA. Clemson entered the game with an 8-2 record, with losses only to South Carolina and #19 Georgia Tech. The Tigers won the ACC Championship with a 5-1 league record. Clemson won the statistical battle, as it had 20 more plays and had more total yards (191-182) in the defensive battle. Clemson threw just four passes and ran the ball 64 times, while Louisiana State threw just 11 passes. Louisiana State drove deep into Clemson territory three times in the first half, but two fumbles and a thwarted fake

field goal ended the drives. Clemson could do no better, as none of its first six drives went past midfield. Clemson moved to the Louisiana State 27 on its first drive of the second half, but a fumble gave the ball back to Louisiana State. On Clemson’s next possession, Louisi-ana State got the break it had been looking for. On fourth down, the ball slipped out of long snapper Paul Snyder’s hands on the punt snap and hit up-man Doug Cline in the leg. 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, 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. Cannon was a first-team All-American that year and won the Heisman Trophy the following season. Clemson had one last chance late in the fourth quarter. It started at its 17, and 17 plays later, it was on the Louisi-ana State 28. However, Harvey White’s fourth-down pass to George Usry was incomplete. Louisiana State took over on downs and ran out the clock. After the game, Frank Howard 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 (in the fourth quarter),” said Howard. “I was going for those two points to beat them. I didn’t think we would hold them to one touchdown, but I didn’t think they would shut us out.” “Louisiana State has a good team. They rate the #1 spot in the nation. Cannon is quite a boy. He deserves his All-America 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 Head Coach Paul Dietzel, who won the na-tional title at age 34, still the third-youngest head coach to win the national title behind Clemson’s Danny Ford (1981) and Oklahoma’s Bud Wilkinson.

1996 Peach Bowl Recap Raymond Priester set a Clemson bowl record for rush-ing yards (151) during the 1996 Peach Bowl. On the de-fensive side of the ball, Trevor Pryce had three tackles for loss, one sack, and a caused fumble. Even with these fine accomplishments, Clemson still fell to Louisiana State 10-7. Louisiana State entered the game with a 9-2 record and a top-20 ranking in both polls. Nealon Greene opened the scoring for Clemson on a three-yard run for a touchdown. Clemson attempted to tie the score with under two minutes left on the clock, but failed to do so when Matt Padgett’s 52-yard field-goal at-tempt was blocked. Louisiana State ran out the clock.

In addition to Priester’s outstanding game, contribu-tions to the running attack were also made by Emory Smith, Kelton Dunnican, Brian Wofford, and Nealon Greene. Smith had 40 rushing yards in the game. Clemson’s sole touchdown drive lasted 1:29 and con-sisted of only three runs. The outstanding field position was achieved on a recovered fumble by Harold Means fol-lowing a sack and caused fumble by Pryce. Defensively, Clemson had five players contribute to a combined nine tackles for loss. These tackles for loss com-bined for a loss of 53 yards of Louisiana State’s offense. Louisiana State scored its only touchdown of the game in the second quarter when Kevin Faulk scored on a three-yard run. Louisiana State scored again during this quarter on a 22-yard field goal to gain the lead for good. There was no scoring in the second half, as both defenses dominated. Time of possession was fairly even throughout the game, as Louisiana State led with 30:15.

• Both schools have won at least 10 games each of the last two years, something only 11 schools can claim.

• Both schools have a head coach who was named nation-al coach-of-the-year in 2011. Clemson’s Dabo Swinney won the Bobby Dodd Award, while Louisiana State’s Les Miles was the AP National Coach-of-the-Year (and oth-ers) in 2011.

• Clemson Athletic Director Dan Radakovich served as a senior associate athletic director at Louisiana State from 2001-06.

Phillips’ Influence Former Clemson Athletic Director Terry Don Phillips retired in November, but he had a positive effect on the coaching careers of both head coaches in the 2012 Chick-fil-A Bowl. Phillips hired Dabo Swinney as Clemson’s interim head coach in 2008, replacing Tommy Bowden. He then hired Swinney as the full-time coach at the end of the regular season. Swinney has guided Clemson to three ACC At-lantic Division titles in his four full seasons as head coach and has 10 wins each of the last two seasons, the first time Clemson has done that in back-to-back years since the 1987-90 era. Phillips also gave Louisiana State Head Coach Les Miles his first college head-coaching job. Miles had been an as-sistant coach at Oklahoma State from 1995-97 when Phil-lips was athletic director. Miles became a coach for the Dallas Cowboys from 1998-00. But when the Oklahoma State head-coaching position came open, Phillips brought Miles back to Stillwater for the 2001 season. That first year, Miles led Oklahoma State to a 16-13 upset victory over #4 Oklahoma in the regular-season finale. Phillips left for Clemson at the end of that academic year (2001-02), but Miles stayed at Oklahoma State for three more seasons and finished with a 28-21 record be-fore taking over at Louisiana State for the 2005 season.

Common Opponents Clemson and Louisiana State have played two common opponents in 2012, Auburn and South Carolina. Clemson was 1-1 against those two teams, while Louisiana State was 2-0. Both teams had close games with Auburn, as Clemson won 26-19 in the season-opener in the Georgia Dome. Louisiana State defeated Auburn 12-10 on the road. Clem-son had 528 yards of total offense against Auburn, includ-ing 320 rushing yards. Louisiana State had 351 yards of total offense against Auburn, including 182 rushing yards. Clemson lost to South Carolina by a score of 27-17, while Louisiana State defeated the Gamecocks at home by a score of 23-21. Louisiana State had 258 rushing yards and 406 total yards against South Carolina, while Clemson had 328 total yards, including 145 rushing yards.

Clemson’s Indoor Football History Clemson has a 5-5 all-time record in indoor football games. That includes a 3-5 record in the Georgia Dome, a 1-0 record in the Superdome (against Tulane in 1981), and a 1-0 record in Japan’s Tokyo Dome (against Duke in 1991). Clemson will have some good preparation for playing indoors, as the Tigers conducted their first practice in their new indoor practice facility on December 13. It is adjacent to the outdoor practice facilities.

Clemson in the Georgia Dome Clemson has a 3-5 all-time record in the Georgia Dome, but is 1-0 in 2012. Clemson opened the year with a 26-19 win over #25 Auburn in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game in the Georgia Dome. Clemson is 1-1 in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game and 2-4 in the Peach/Chick-fil-A Bowl in the Geor-gia Dome. The Tigers played in the Peach Bowl at Fulton County Stadium against Baylor in 1979. Clemson first appeared in the facility in 1993 and came away with a 14-13 win over Kentucky in the Peach Bowl. The other victory came at the end of the 2003 season against #6 Tennessee. That is the second-highest-ranked team Clemson has defeated in a bowl game. Tennessee was coached by Phillip Fulmer, who was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame earlier this month. While Clemson has played just eight games in the facil-ity in its history, the Tigers did play two games in a row there. Clemson ended its 2007 season against Auburn and began its 2008 season against Alabama in the dome. The Georgia Dome is the only domed facility where Clemson has played a football game and a basketball game. Clemson is 1-2 in the Georgia Dome in men’s bas-ketball.

One Road Stadium, One Season, Two Games Clemson opened the 2012 season in the Georgia Dome and will close the 2012 season in the Georgia Dome. Both games were/are against Tigers from the SEC. Clemson opened with a 26-19 win over #25 Auburn in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game and will close in the Chick-fil-A Bowl against #7 Louisiana State. This is only the second time Clemson has played two games in the same away stadium in the same season. The only previous season was 1956, when Clemson lost a regular-season game at #8 Miami (FL) 21-0, then lost in the Orange Bowl to #20 Colorado 27-21.

Double-Digit Wins Clemson recorded its 10th victory of the year, includ-ing its seventh in a row, in a 62-48 win over N.C. State on November 17. It is the first time since the 1987-90 era that Clemson has had consecutive 10-win seasons. Last year, Clemson was 10-4 and won the ACC Championship. Clemson has nine seasons of 10+ wins in history. The first double-digit victory season came in 1948, when Frank Howard’s team had a perfect 11-0 record, including a Ga-tor Bowl win over Missouri. Clemson also won the South-ern Conference that year. The record for wins in a season is 12, set by the 1981 team. That team was 11-0 in the regular season, then beat #4 Nebraska in the Orange Bowl to win the national title. The win over the Wolfpack gave Clemson 10 wins in the regular season for the first time since 1981. Clemson has won 10+ games in the regular season just four times (1948, 1978, 1981, 2012). A win in the Chick-fil-A Bowl over #7 Louisiana State would give Clemson its fourth season of 11 wins or more.

BOWL NOTESBack-to-Back 10-Win Seasons Clemson has recorded back-to-back 10-win seasons. The Tigers were 10-4 in 2011 and won the ACC Champion-ship with a 38-10 victory over #3 Virginia Tech. In 2012, Clemson is 10-2, including a 7-1 ACC record that tied for the Atlantic Division title. This is the first time Clemson has had consecutive 10-win seasons since the 1987-90 era, when Clemson had four consecutive 10-win seasons. In all four of those years, Clemson won the 10th game in a bowl game. Clemson and Louisiana State are two of 11 schools nationally with at least 10 wins each of the last two years.

Tigers Finish in BCS Top 15 Again Clemson was #14 in the final BCS standings, released on December 2. It marked the third time in the last six years that Clemson finished in the top 15 of the BCS stand-ings and the fourth time overall. Clemson was #15 in 2011 and #15 in 2007. The 2000 season is the only other year Clemson had a top-15 finish in the BCS standings. Clemson is tied for ninth in the nation for the most top-15 BCS finishes since 2007 (the last six seasons). Louisiana State and Oklahoma have the most with five, while Ala-bama, Boise State, Florida, Ohio State, Oregon, and Virginia Tech are tied for third with four apiece. Clemson, Georgia, Oklahoma State, Stanford, and TCU all have three top-15 finishes apiece during that time pe-riod.

Clemson Ranked For 28th Straight Week Clemson is ranked in the top 25 of the AP and USA To-day polls entering the bowl season, the 28th straight poll sets that Clemson has been ranked in the top 25. It is the longest streak Clemson has been ranked in at least one poll since the October 23, 1989 to October 24, 1992 era, when the Tigers were ranked in a record 50 con-

secutive polls (at least one). Clemson was also ranked in 45 straight polls (at least one each week) between Novem-ber 3, 1986 to October 9, 1989. The only week Clemson was not ranked in a 95-poll streak between 1986-92 was on October 16, 1989 after a loss to Georgia Tech at Memo-rial Stadium. Therefore, this streak of 28 in a row is the third-longest streak in Clemson history. Alabama, Clemson, Louisiana State, Oregon, South Carolina, and Stanford are the only schools in the nation who have also been ranked in at least 28 consecutive polls.

Six Wins Over Top-25 Teams in 21-Game Span When Clemson defeated #25 Auburn in the season-opener, it gave Clemson its sixth win over a top-25 ranked team in a 21-game span. Clemson defeated four top-25 teams in 2011, the most in one season in school history, and downed a top-25 N.C. State team late in the 2010 season. Only three of the six victories came at Memorial Stadium.

Clemson Breaks Home-Winning-Streak Record Clemson set the school record for consecutive wins in Memorial Stadium with its win over Maryland on Novem-ber 10. The Tigers increased it to 13 in a row with a victory over N.C. State on November 17. That set the record for most consecutive wins at home, regardless of site. South Carolina ended the streak on November 24 with a 27-17 win over the Tigers.

Clemson’s Highest-Ranked Victories Clemson will face #7 Louisiana State on December 31 in the Chick-fil-A Bowl. If Clemson can gain victory, it would be the 13th triumph in school history over a team ranked in the top nine of at least one of the major polls. The last time Clemson did that was 2011, when Clemson beat #3 Virginia Tech in the ACC Championship game. That win tied for the highest-ranked team Clemson has beaten. The Tigers also beat #3 Florida State in 2003.

Clemson has five wins over top-25 teams during the last two years. Clemson’s other two top-five wins came in the 1981 season, a 13-3 victory over #4 Georgia and future Heis-man Trophy winner Herschel Walker, and a 22-15 victory over #4 Nebraska and future Heisman Trophy winner Mike Rozier. Clemson defeated two Hall of Fame head coaches in those contests as well, Vince Dooley (Georgia) and Tom Osborne (Nebraska).

Clemson’s 2012 Offense Among ACC’s Best Ever Clemson’s 2012 offense is among the best in ACC his-tory. In terms of scoring, Clemson’s 508 points are fourth-most in league history and just 25 points away from the league record. Florida State can also set the record, as the Seminoles are just 14 points shy. Clemson’s 42.3-point average is fourth-highest in ACC history, and Clemson’s 65 touchdowns are fourth-most in league history as well. Florida State’s 2012 team is just be-hind at 64 touchdowns. In terms of total offense, Clemson has 6,220 yards, third-most in school history and just 369 yards from set-ting an ACC record. Clemson’s 6,171 yards in 2011 are fourth-most. In terms of yards per game, the 518.3-yard average for the 2012 team is fourth-best and one of just seven teams in ACC history to average at least 500 yards per game. In terms of passing yards, the 3,835 for the Tigers are seventh-most, but just 165 passing yards in the Chick-fil-A Bowl will make Clemson just the fourth team in ACC his-tory with 4,000 passing yards. Clemson’s 319.6 passing yards per game are ninth-best.

700 Club Clemson gained 718 yards (334 rushing, 384 passing) at Duke on November 3. It was just the second time in school history Clemson totaled at least 300 rushing yards and 300 passing yards in the same game. The first instance was in a 70-14 win over Central Michigan, led by Head Coach Butch Jones, in 2007. Therefore, this was the first time Clemson accomplished the feat on the road and the first time it was accomplished in an ACC game. Then in the win over N.C. State, the Tigers did it again. Clemson had 754 yards (328 rushing, 426 passing). Overall, it was the second-highest total offense game in school history and is topped only by the 756 yards the Tigers gained in a win over Wake Forest in 1981. That day, Clemson had a school-record 536 rushing yards and 220 passing yards in the 82-24 win at Death Valley. Clemson had an incredible 487 yards on 43 plays in the first half at Duke, then had 441 yards in the first half against N.C. State. Those are the top two halves in Clem-son history in terms of total offense. There have been just 13 games in ACC history in which a team has had at least 700 yards. Clemson has done it twice this year.

Winning Total Offense an Indicator Clemson has a 9-0 record in 2012 when it outgains the opposition (yards) and is 19-0 over the last two years. The 19-game winning streak dates to the 2010 Meineke Car Care Bowl, when Clemson outgained South Florida 296-279, but lost the game 31-26. Overall, Clemson has a 34-2 record under Head Coach Dabo Swinney when it outgains the opposition. The only other loss also took place in 2010, when Clemson out-gained Florida State 391-307 in Tallahassee, but lost 16-13.

Seven Straight Wins By 14+ Points Clemson won a school-record seven consecutive games by 14+ points, all in ACC play, this year. Clemson had a six-game streak of wins by 14+ points from 1989-90. Clemson also won six games in a row by 14+ points in 1978. The 2012 streak began with a 45-31 win over Boston College on September 29. The last victory in the streak was a 62-48 win over N.C. State.

First-Half Frenzy To say Clemson has gotten off to a good start in each of its 12 games this year would be an understatement. Clem-

son has had the lead at halftime in every game this year, and the average margin has been 16 points (28-12). A look to the stats shows that Clemson has averaged 28 points, 7.0 yards per play, 312 yards of total offense, 205 passing yards, and 107 rushing yards in the first half this season. Clemson has had at least 35 points in the first half in five games. In 10 of the 12 games, Clemson has had at least 250 yards of total offense by halftime, and in eight of the 12, Clemson has had at least 190 passing yards in the first half. Clemson has scored at least 13 points in the first half of all 12 games this year and has scored at least 20 points in nine games.

Second-Quarter Scoring Machine Clemson has owned the second quarter this year. The Tigers have a scoring margin of 191-71 in the second quar-ter, a school mark for points scored in a quarter during a season. The previous mark was 154 points scored in the second period by the 2009 team. One of the reasons for Clemson’s success in the quarter has been the passing of Tajh Boyd. Boyd is 81-113 passing for 1,167 yards and 16 touchdowns in the second quarter in 2012. That equates to 71 percent and a pass efficien-cy figure of 198.0. He is second in the nation in passing touchdowns and passing efficiency in the second quarter. Clemson has averaged 15.9 points per game in the second quarter.

Leading Entering Fourth Quarter One thing Clemson has done well the last two years has been holding a fourth-quarter lead. The Tigers are 17-0 the last two years when leading entering the fourth quarter (8-0 in 2011 and 9-0 in 2012). Clemson has an active streak of 18 consecutive wins when leading entering the fourth quarter. Clemson’s last loss in that situation was a 16-13 defeat at Florida State in 2010, a game Clemson led 10-6 entering the fourth quar-ter. Overall, Swinney is 33-3 when leading entering the fourth quarter since he became Clemson’s head coach in October of 2008. The three losses are Georgia Tech in 2008 (his first game as head coach), TCU in 2009, and Florida State in 2010.

Tigers Score Every Way Possible Clemson scored every possible way in its victory over Georgia Tech on October 6 in its 47-31 victory. The Tigers scored five touchdowns, kicked three field goals, kicked five extra points, had a two-point conversion, and added a safety. It marked the first time Clemson had scored every possible way since the 2007 Virginia Tech game, a contest the Tigers lost 41-23. Clemson also scored every possible way against N.C. State in 1998 in its 46-39 defeat.

Third-Down & Fourth-Down Success Clemson is one of the top schools in the nation when it comes to third-down and fourth-down conversion of-fense. Clemson leads the nation in fourth-down conver-sion percentage, converting 13-15 opportunities (86.7 percent). The Tigers’ third-down conversion rate is 51.9

percent (98-188), fourth-best in the nation. They are both at record rates of conversion in school history. Clemson is solid on defense as well. Opponents are converting on third down just 34.7 percent of the time (27th-best in the nation) and 42.3 percent on fourth down (34th-best).

Points Off Turnovers Clemson has a 111-41 advantage in points off turn-overs in 2012, and Clemson is 8-0 when it wins that sta-tistic. Clemson has actually won 14 consecutive games when it wins the points off turnover stat. The last loss took place at Auburn in 2010, a 27-24 overtime loss. Since Dabo Swinney became head coach in 2008, Clemson is 26-3 when it wins the points off turnovers stat and has a 24-3 record when winning the turnover margin. The Tigers are 5-1 in that area this year, with the only loss coming at #4 Florida State when Clemson won the turn-over margin 2-1.

Surprising Stats & Notes• Clemson has 44 three-and-outs on defense, while top-

ranked Notre Dame has just four more (48).• Clemson’s defense has given up 24.9 points per game

this year, just 0.8 more per game than Auburn yielded during its 2010 National Championship season.

• Tajh Boyd has passed for 34 touchdowns in 2012, 10 more than Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel (Tex-as A&M) and 20 more than Heisman Trophy runner-up Collin Klein (Kansas State).

Clemson Honored For Graduation Success Rate Clemson is one of 18 schools to be honored by AFCA for its graduation success rate of at least 90 percent. Each year, AFCA presents an academic achievement award to the school with the highest GSR, and also announces an honorable mention list. Northwestern and Stanford both recorded graduation success rates of 100 percent for the six-year cohort. Clem-son was joined on the list of schools with at least a 90-per-cent GSR by Air Force, Alabama, Boston College, Duke, Mississippi, Nevada, Northern Illinois, Northwestern, Notre

Dame, Ohio State, Penn State, Rutgers, Stanford, TCU, Tul-sa, Vanderbilt, and Wake Forest. Clemson is joined by Alabama, Notre Dame, and Stan-ford as the only schools in the nation in the top 20 of the final BCS standings with at least a 90-percent graduation success rate.

Football Program Lauded For APR Score Again The Tiger football and golf programs were both hon-ored when the NCAA released its Academic Performance Public Recognition Awards. Both are among the top-10 percent of all programs nationally in terms of APR scores. It was the second time both programs have been among the top-10 percent in the nation. It is the second consecutive year for Dabo Swinney’s football squad, while Larry Penley’s golf team was also honored in 2004-05. Fourteen football programs were honored by the NCAA. The list included ACC schools Clemson, Duke, and Miami (FL). The ACC was the only conference with three schools on the football list. Clemson and Northern Illinois were the only schools in the nation to win their conference championship and be in the top-10 percent in the nation in terms of APR scores in 2011. Boise State, Clemson, and Stanford were the only schools to finish in the AP top 25 and in the top-10 percent in terms of APR scores in 2011. The ranking includes APR scores for the 2007-08, 2008-09, 2009-10, and 2010-11 academic years.

13 Seniors Clemson has one of the youngest teams in the na-tion with just 13 seniors on its roster, 11 of which came to Clemson as scholarship players. This is the fewest seniors on a Clemson football roster since 1999, when Tommy Bowden’s first team had just 10 seniors, including only six on scholarship. It is interesting to note that the 1999 team also finished its season in the Peach Bowl. The only other year in the last 30 seasons that Clemson has had less than 13 seniors was 1985, when Danny Ford’s team had 12 seniors. The 1985 team finished 6-5 and the 1999 Clemson team finished 6-6, so you can see that this 10-2 team is among the best young teams in school his-tory. You can make the claim that this is the youngest Tiger team since 1944. This 2012 team also has just 13 scholar-ship juniors. Clemson’s 1944 team was completely made up of freshmen and sophomores, as all upperclassmen left campus for the armed services. Therefore, just 24 of the 85 players on scholarship in 2012 are seniors.

CLEMSON’S 2012 SENIOR CLASS HAS WON 35 GAMES THE PAST FOUR YEARS, THE HIGHEST FIGURE SINCE THE 1991 SENIOR CLASS.

BOWL NOTESSix First-Team All-ACC Players on Offense The six Clemson players who earned First-Team All-ACC honors are quarterback Tajh Boyd, center Dalton Freeman, wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, running back Andre El-lington, tight end Brandon Ford, and offensive lineman Brandon Thomas. This is the first time in history that Clemson has had six first-team all-conference players on offense, and the first time any team has done it since Florida State accom-plished the feat in 1995. Placekicker Chandler Catanzaro and safety Rashard hall were named to the second team, while Malliciah Good-man and Sammy Watkins were honorable mention selec-tions. Boyd and Freeman were named to the first team for the second consecutive year, while Catanzaro made second team for the second consecutive row. Ellington earned second-team honors in 2011 and improved to first-team status in 2012. With Freeman’s selection, he became the first Clemson center in history to be named First-Team All-ACC in con-secutive years. Boyd became the first Tiger two-time first-team selection at quarterback since Steve Fuller (1977,78).

3,000-Yard Passer, 1,000-Yard Rusher & Receiver For the second year in a row, Clemson has a 3,000-yard passer (Tajh Boyd), 1,000-yard rusher (Andre Ellington), and 1,000-yard receiver (DeAndre Hopkins). Clemson is one of eight schools in the nation to do it in 2012 and one of just three to do it each of the last two years. Clemson, Fresno State, and Texas A&M are the only schools to do it each of the last two seasons. The eight schools to accomplish the feat in 2012 are Ar-izona, Clemson, Fresno State, Louisiana Tech, Penn State, Syracuse, Texas A&M, and Troy.

Anthony & Williams Making Fathers Proud Two Tiger linemen are making their fathers proud. Shaq Anthony and DeShawn Williams are second-gener-ation Tigers who have been contributors to this team. Anthony started at right offensive tackle for an injured Gifford Timothy in the win over Ball State, and also started in the win over Furman. He played 56 snaps and helped Clemson to 45 first-half points. Anthony has played 123 snaps and seven games. His father, Vernie Anthony, played for the Tigers from 1979-82. He was a letterwinner on Clemson’s 1981 National Championship team. Williams had two tackles for loss and a sack against Ball State. He was injured against Furman and played just nine

snaps. Williams has played 12 games, including five as a starter, in 2012. Williams has 47 tackles and five tackles for loss in 2012. His father is Ronald Williams, who scored a touchdown against Ball State in 1992 and was a running back at Clem-son from 1990-92. He still has the Clemson first-year fresh-man rushing record (941) in 1990. He is 21st in Clemson history in career rushing yards (1,824) and averaged 5.6 yards per carry, sixth-best in school history.

Boyd & Freeman Named First-Team All-Americans Quarterback Tajh Boyd and center Dalton Freeman were both named first-team All-Americans by AFCA. Boyd became the first Tiger quarterback in history to be named a first-team All-American, while Freeman became the first Tiger center in history to be named a first-team All-Ameri-can. This is just the third time since AFCA began selecting an All-America team in 1945 that the quarterback and cen-ter were from the same team. Clemson was one of four schools with at least two selections. Alabama had three, while Clemson, Stanford, and Texas A&M had two apiece. Miami (FL) had the quarterback and center on the AFCA All-America team in 2002, when Ken Dorsey (QB) and Brett Romberg (C) were selected. The only other time it has happened in the last 67 years was in 2009, when Texas had quarterback Colt McCoy and center Chris Hall on the first-team. In 2011, Dwayne Allen and Sammy Watkins were both named first-team All-Americans by AP. This is the first time since 1986-87 that Clemson has had two first-team All-Americans in consecutive seasons. Wideout DeAndre Hopkins was named second or third-team All-American by six services. Sammy Watkins was named a first-team All-American by Pro Football Weekly.

Hopkins & Watkins Receiving Duo The receiving duo of DeAndre Hopkins and Sammy Watkins is the top receiving yardage duo in Clemson his-tory on a season basis. That was actually established in 2011 when they combined for 2,197 receiving yards in 14 games. They have combined for 1,922 receiving yards, the third-highest combined total for a season, in 2012. In just two seasons (2011,12), they have combined for 280 receptions for 4,119 yards and 34 touchdowns. Both have earned All-America honors, Watkins in 2011 as a freshman and Hopkins in 2012 as a junior. In 14 games in 2011, they combined for 154 receptions for 2,197 yards and 17 touchdowns, all bests for any re-

ceiving duo in Clemson history for one season. In 2012, they have 126 combined receptions for 1,922 yards and 19 touchdowns. They have done that in two less games, while Watkins has played just nine games this season. In 2012, Hopkins has 69 receptions for 1,214 yards and 16 touchdowns. Watkins has 57 catches for 708 yards and three touchdowns. In the last two years, Hopkins has 141 receptions and Watkins has 139. Their combined 1,922 receiving yards this year make them the third-best receiving combination in school his-tory. Their 2011 total of 2,197 is first, while Derrick Ham-ilton and Kevin Youngblood combined for 1,923 receiving yards in 2003.

Presidential Pushups It was a big week for Clemson President Jim Barker from September 9-15. First, he was acknowledged at the league press conference as an ACC president that had much to do with Notre Dame’s move to the ACC (an-nounced on September 12). That weekend during the third quarter of Clemson’s game against Furman, Barker put on the Tiger mascot suit and did the Tiger’s job of do-ing the pushups after Clemson scored to give the Tigers a 27-7 lead. Barker put the Tiger suit on at halftime and walked around anonymously on the Clemson sidelines in the third quarter. When the Tigers scored at the 12:10 mark of the third quarter, Barker did the required 27 pushups after Andre Ellington’s touchdown. At the conclusion of the ex-ercise, he took off the mascot head, much to the delight of the crowd.

Sack-Man Beasley Sophomore defensive end Vic Beasley recorded three sacks in Clemson’s win over N.C. State. The tackles resulted in 21 negative yards against Mike Glennon. He is fourth in the ACC in sacks (8). He trails only All-Americans Bjoern Werner (Florida State) and Cornelius Carradine (Florida State) along with Jeremiah Attaochu (Georgia Tech). What is amazing is that Beasley has not started a game and has played only 279 snaps. He also has 18 tackles, two pass breakups, and eight quarterback pressures. There-fore, eight of his 18 tackles are sacks. He has averaged 32 snaps a game over the last five contests and has six sacks in those games. Beasley has averaged a sack every 34.9 snaps this year. When Da’Quan Bowers led the nation in sacks in 2010, he averaged a sack every 44.1 snaps. The late Gaines Adams averaged a sack every 46 snaps in 2006 when he was named ACC Defensive Player-of-the-Year. Keith Adams averaged a sack every 54 snaps when he set the Clemson single-season record with 16 sacks in 1999.

Benton Sets ACC Record Spencer Benton set an ACC record in Clemson’s win over Ball State. Benton booted a 61-yard field goal, with a few yards to spare, on the last play of the first half to estab-lish an ACC record for longest field goal. That is 60 years of placekicks, so that is quite a record. Benton broke the record of 60 yards by Gary Cismesia (Florida State) against Florida in 2007. Benton’s field goal was four yards longer than the previ-ous Clemson record. Obed Ariri made a 57-yarder against Wake Forest in 1977 and Chris Gardocki made a 57-yarder against Appalachian State in 1990. Each of those previous kicks were also made at Memorial Stadium. It was quite a day for long field goals, as Andrew Furney (Washington State) made a 60-yarder in the Cougars’ vic-tory over Eastern Washington. Imagine making a 60-yard-er and it was not even the longest in the nation for the day.

BOWL NOTES Sixty-yard field goals are rare, especially since the NCAA outlawed the use of a tee for placekicks in 1988. When Benton made his 61-yarder, it was just the fourth field goal of 60+ yards this century. Then, Furney made the fifth just hours later. September 8, 2012 was the first time since October 11, 1986 that two players made field goals 60+ yards on the same day. Ironically, Ball State was involved in that day.

Boyd a 20-Game Winner Tajh Boyd is having an outstanding junior season. He is fourth in the nation and first in the ACC in passing efficien-cy (168.5). That would be a Clemson record if the season ended today. The record is 158.3 by Willie Jordan in 1975. He is trying to become just the second Tiger in history to finish in the top 10 in the nation in passing efficiency. Mike Eppley was third in the nation in 1983 (146.0). Boyd continues to chase school records, some marks that he already owns. He has 34 passing touchdowns in 2012, tying the ACC record. He has 19 passing touch-downs in the last five games. Clemson has scored at least 35 points in the first half in four of the last five games. Boyd has a 20-6 career record as a starting quarterback, the seventh player in school history to quarterback the Tigers to at least 20 wins in a career. That 20-6 record in-cludes a 13-1 mark at Memorial Stadium. He was the com-mon denominator to Clemson’s 13-game winning streak at home, the longest in school history. The all-time leader is Rodney Williams, who won 32 games between 1985-88. Charlie Whitehurst is second with 25 wins.

Boyd Named ACC Player-of-the-Year Tajh Boyd was named ACC Player-of-the-Year and ACC Offensive Player-of-the-Year in the 2012 season. Earlier, Boyd was named First-Team All-ACC for the sec-ond straight season and is the first Clemson quarterback to be a two-time, first-team selection since Steve Fuller (1977,78). Fuller was named ACC Player-of-the-Year in both of those seasons. Boyd is the first Clemson quarterback to receive ACC Player-of-the-Year honors since Fuller in 1978. Boyd is the seventh different Tiger to be named ACC Player-of-the-Year and the second in the last four years. C.J. Spiller, now a running back with the Buffalo Bills, won the award in 2009. However, before Spiller, you have to go back to Michael Dean Perry in 1987. Boyd is in his second year as a starter and has taken the Tigers to consecutive 10-win seasons, the first Clem-son quarterback to do that since 1987-88, when Rodney Williams quarterbacked the Tigers to consecutive 10-2 seasons. Boyd is seventh in Clemson history in wins as a starting quarterback (20).

Boyd Challenging ACC Record With four consecutive games over the 178-mark in terms of passing efficiency late in the season, Tajh Boyd has increased his passing efficiency rating to 168.5 in 2012. He is on a school record pace and is fourth in the nation. He is also fourth in ACC history from a career standpoint. His career passing efficiency (149.9) trails only Bryn Renner (North Carolina), Chris Weinke (Florida State), and EJ Manuel (Florida State). Therefore, three of the top four pass efficiency figures are held by active ACC players.

Boyd Sets Two Records at Wake Forest Tajh Boyd set multiple records in Clemson’s 42-13 win at Wake Forest on October 25. He completed 27-38 passes for 428 yards and five touchdowns in the contest. His 428 passing yards broke the school record of 420 passing yards, set by Charlie Whitehurst at Duke in 2002. A look to the chart below shows that Boyd has eight of the top 10 passing yardage games in Clemson history. Five of them have come this season.

Boyd’s Rushing Improvement One of the reasons for Clemson’s improvement to a top-10 offense this year has been the running of quar-terback Tajh Boyd. The junior from Hampton, VA has 492 yards on 157 carries and nine touchdowns. That is the sixth-highest season rushing total for a quarterback in Clemson history. His nine rushing touchdowns are fourth-most among Clemson signal-callers as well.
