CLEMSON PRONUNCIATIONS

Clemson vs. Boston College Series •Clemson has a 14-9-2 lead in the series with Boston College that dates to the 1940 Cotton Bowl. Clemson has won each of the last five games, including 17-13 the last time the two teams met in Boston in 2014, and 34-17 last year at Clemson. Boston College’s last win was in 2010 in Boston by a 16-10 count. •The Tigers have won seven of the eight games played since Dabo Swinney became Clemson head coach on an interim basis on Oc-tober 13, 2008. Clemson won 27-21 in Chestnut Hill in 2008 and 25-7 at Clemson in 2009. The 2008 win in Boston was Swinney’s first career win as a head coach. Clemson’s only loss in the Swinney era as head coach came in 2010 in Boston. •The series dates to the 1939 season and the January 1, 1940 Cotton Bowl. That was a landmark victory for the Clemson program, the school’s first bowl game and the school’s first win over a Top 20 team. Boston College was ranked 11th in the nation entering the game. Clemson won 6-3 behind 115 yards rushing from Charlie Timmons and four pass deflections in the fourth quarter by Clemson legend Banks McFadden. •Six of the 11 meetings between the two teams since Boston College joined the ACC in 2005 have been decided by a touchdown or less. The Tigers hold a 7-4 advantage in the series since Boston College joined the ACC for the 2005 season. BC won each of the first three, all by seven points or less and two were in overtime. •Two of Clemson’s victories in the series took place during undefeated Tiger sea-sons. Clemson won 26-19 in 1948 on the way to a perfect 11-0 season, and won 35-14 in 1950 on the way to a 9-0-1 season. Clemson also won last year during its perfect regular season, 34-17 in Clemson behind 420 yards passing by Deshaun Watson. • In 1983, at Chestnut Hill, the Eagles gained a 31-16 win behind Doug Flutie. Clem-son had a 16-3 lead with 25 minutes left in the game, but the Eagles went on a 28-0 run to end the contest behind Flutie. The 1984 Heisman winner, was 20-36 for 223 yards and two touch-downs against a Clemson defense that featured All-American William Perry. The Eagles gained 504 yards of total offense on the night, 281 rush-ing and 223 passing. It was Clemson’s only loss in 1983 (9-1-1). •The two teams tied in a 1982 game in Death Valley. The game was televised by CBS on a regional basis, the first CBS broadcast from Clem-son’s Memorial Stadium. Clemson had a 14-0 lead at intermission, but sophomore quarterback Doug Flutie led Boston College back to take a 17-14 lead. The Tigers tied the game in the fourth quarter, on a field goal by Donald Igwebuike, who played soccer and football for the Tigers that fall. He then had another attempt from 43 yards with eight seconds left, but the kick missed and the game ended in a 17-17 tie. *Clemson had just two losses and two ties over a three-year period from 1981-83. One of the losses and one of the ties came against Boston College in that 1982-83 period. •The 2005 game at Clemson was an overtime meeting, a 16-13 Boston College victory, It was the first between the two schools as an ACC matchup. The game was tied 10-10 at the end of regulation. The two teams played a double overtime affair in 2006, a 34-33 Boston

College victory. A missed extra point in overtime proved costly for the Tigers. •In 2009 when Clemson won it was the Tigers first win over the Eagles at Clemson since 1958. Clemson won that 1958 game, 34-12. •The two teams played three games at famed Fenway Park in Boston, the home of the Boston Red Sox. Clemson won the first meeting there in 1941 (just 13 days after Ted Williams finished his .406 season for the Red Sox) by a 26-13 score. The same two teams met at Fenway the following year, and Boston College won, 14-7. The two teams played to a 14-14 tie in 1953 at Fenway. So the series stands at 1-1-1 in games played at Fenway Park. *The two teams also played at Braves Field in Boston, then the home of the Nation-al League’s Boston Braves (now the Atlanta Braves). Clemson had a 3-1 advantage in games played at Braves Field all between 1942-52. •Clemson has a 7-6-1 lead in the series in games played in Boston or Chestnut Hill.O’Rourke-McFadden Trophy to the Winner For the ninth time, Clemson and Boston College will play for a trophy. The Boston College Gridiron Club began sponsoring the O’Rourke-McFadden Trophy in 2008. Clemson has won seven of the eight years the trophy has been awarded.The trophy features a leather helmet replica of those used by Charlie O’Rourke of Boston College and Banks McFadden of Clemson, when they competed against each other in the 1940 Cotton Bowl in Dallas, TX. In addition to the trophy presentation, the Boston College Grid-iron Club will present a replica leather helmet to the MVP of the winning school. C.J. Spiller won the award for the 2008 game when he had 242 all-purpose yards, and Clemson kicker Richard Jackson won the award for the 2009 game. He kicked six field goals in the Clemson victory, the only kicker at the FBS level to kick six field goals in a game in 2009.

Montell Harris won the award for Boston College in 2010 thanks to his 143 yards rushing and he scored the game’s only offensive touchdown. Chandler Catanzaro became the second Clemson kicker to win the honor with his five field goals in the 36-14 Clemson win in 2011. Tajh Boyd won it in 2012 with a 367-yard passing game and Vic Beasley took the honor in 2013 when he had a fumble return for a touch-down. Cole Stoudt had 308 yards of total offense in Clemson’s 2014 win. Watson won it last year thanks to his 420 yard passing performance. The Boston College Gridiron Club de-veloped the idea in order to honor the tradition at both schools and to honor the legacy of Charlie O’Rourke and Banks McFadden, who played during the leather helmet era. Clemson and Boston College are both in the Atlantic Division of the ACC and will play every year. O’Rourke led Boston College from the quarterback position to a 26-3-2 record in his three years as the quarterback of the Eagles be-tween 1938-40. One of those three losses was to McFadden and Clemson in the 1940 Cotton Bowl. O’Rourke had his jersey retired at Boston College and was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1972. McFadden led the Tigers to a 9-1

The Tigers gained 532 yards on 78 plays against a Boston College team that finished the year No. 1 in the nation in total defense. Clemson had 112 yards rushing, but 420 yards passing, all by quarterback Deshaun Watson. Clemson held Boston College to 11 first downs and 246 yards of total offense. Artavis Scott had a career game with 10 receptions for 162 yards and a touchdown to lead the receivers. Deon Cain caught just two passes, but had 97 yards on those receptions. Watson completed 24-41 passes for 420 yards and three scores. Scott, Jordan Leggett and Zak Brooks caught the touchdown passes from Wat-son. Boston College actually scored first on a five-yard scoring pass. The Tigers then countered with 17 straight points. Clemson led by just 17-10 at intermission, then won the third period 10-0 before both teams had a touchdown in final period. Clemson had 34-10 lead before Boston College scored a touchdown with 1:29 left.

Last Game at Boston College For the second game in a row, the Clemson defense needed to make one final stop to give the Tigers a win. And for the second straight time the defense came through. Clemson had made a goal line stand to beat Louisville the previous week. C.J. Davidson scored from 32 yards out with 9:35 remaining in the game and Clemson’s relentless defense held, giving the Tigers a 17-13 win at Alumni Stadium in Chestnut Hill. Boston College quarterback Tyler Murphy did plenty of scrambling in the second half and had his team in Tiger territory late in the fourth quarter. But the Clemson defense forced four straight incompletions and the Tigers pre-served the victory and the O’Rourke-McFadden Trophy. Clemson held the Eagles to just 120 yards rushing, no small feat because BC entered the game in the top five in the nation in rushing. Cole Stoudt was the recipient of the Leather Helmet Award as he completed 29-45 passes for 285 yards and added 23 yards rushing for a 308 yard game in total offense. He directed the Tigers to 398 yards total offense and 22 first downs. The Tigers were 10-21 on third down. Deshaun Watson had been injured the previous week against Louisville. Wayne Gallman scored the first touch-down as he ran in from 17 yards. Mike Williams added eight catches for 128 yards to lead all receivers.


CLEMSON at Boston CollegeDabo Swinney’s First Win was in Chestnut HillClemson 27, Boston College 21At Chestnut Hill, Nov. 1, 2008 C.J. Spiller totaled 242 all-purpose yards and Clemson scored the game’s final 10 points to defeat Boston College 27-21 at Alumni Stadium on November 1, 2008. It was Clemson’s first win over the Eagles since 1958, snapping its six-game winless streak, and the first win for Dabo Swinney as Clemson’s interim head coach. Behind 240 yards in the first half, Clemson jumped out to a 17-0 halftime lead. But Boston College took advantage of several Tiger miscues and scored 21 straight points to take the lead in the fourth quarter. But Spiller’s 64-yard kickoff return set up the Tigers’ go-ahead score and the Clemson defense thwarted Boston College to preserve Clemson’s first victo-ry over the Eagles since they joined the ACC. Clemson outgained the Eagles 339-236 and was led by the all-around performance of Spiller. The junior running back had eight carries for 55 yards and six catches for 105 yards. He also added a 64-yard kickoff return and 18-yard punt return. Spiller was named game MVP and was ACC Offensive Back-of-the-Week. Thomas Austin was also named ACC Offensive Lineman-of-the-Week. James Davis totaled 52 yards on 13 carries and a score, his 42nd career rushing touchdown. It broke the school record that was previously held by Travis Zachery (1998-01). Aaron Kelly also hauled in his 19th career touchdown catch, breaking the previous Tiger record held by Glenn Smith (1949-51). Cullen Harper, who rushed for a touchdown, was 21-33 for 252 yards and one touchdown against three interceptions. His favorite target was Jacoby Ford, who had a game-high seven catches for 72 yards. The Eagles were limited to just 116 passing yards on 39 attempts, less than three yards per attempt. They had two offensive touchdowns, which came on drives of seven and 21 yards. Only two of their 15 offensive drives traveled more than 25 yards, and both ended in missed field goals. The Tiger defense limited the Eagles to just 2-17 on third down and allowed one offensive play of 20 yards or more, which was a 23-yard pass play. The Tigers did not register a sack, but they were a big reason Chris Crane was just 18-39 for 116 yards due to consistent pressure in the backfield. Clemson’s First Friday Night Game since 1956 This will be Clemson’s first regular season game on a Friday since November 16, 1956 when Clemson lost a Friday evening game at Miami (FL), 21-0. The last time Clemson won a Friday regular season game was in 1952 when the Tigers won a Halloween Friday night game in Boston over Boston College, 13-0. That game was played in Braves Field in Boston. Clemson has played more games on Fridays in the regular season over its history than one would think. This will actually be the 43rd regular season game in Clemson football history played on a Friday. The Tigers are 23-14-5 in Friday regular season games. Some of Clemson’s best bowl wins in history have come on Fridays. At the top of the list was the Jan. 1, 1982 Orange Bowl win over Nebraska, 22-15. That win gave Clemson its only National Championship. The December 29, 1978 win over Woody Hayes and Ohio State was on a Fri-day, as was a 35-10 victory over defending National Champion Penn State in the Jan. 1, 1988 Florida Citrus Bowl. Clemson last played a game on Friday on January 3, 2014 when the Tigers defeated sixth-ranked Ohio State in the Orange Bowl, 40-35.Watson and Boulware Both Win National HonorsClemson quarterback Deshaun Watson and linebacker Ben Boul-ware were both honored as national players of the week for their respective performances against Louisville. The Tigers defeated the third-ranked Cardinals 42-36 Saturday night in Memorial Stadium. It tied for the highest ranked team Clemson has beaten.Watson was named the National Offensive Player of the Week by the Walter Camp Foundation and Boulware was named National Defensive Player of the Week by College Sports Madness.Watson completed 20-31 passes for 306 yards and five touch-down passes. He also rushed 14 times for 91 yards. Watson became the second FBS player in the last four years to throw for at least 300 yards and five touchdown passes and rush for at least 90 yards against a top 10 team. The only other quarterback to do it was former Tiger Tajh Boyd against Ohio State in the 2014 Orange Bowl.Watson led Clemson on a fourth quarter comeback. The Tigers

trailed 36-28 in the fourth period before he connected on a 20-yard scoring pass to Mike Williams with 7:05 left, then hit Jordan Leggett with a 31-yard scoring pass with 3:14 remaining.Boulware had a career high 18 tackles, three tackles for loss, a fumble recovery and a pass deflection against a Louisville offense that came into the game leading the nation in scoring and total offense.

Both players will be back in action on Friday night when the Tigers play at Boston College.

Three Tigers Named ACC Player of the Week Deshaun Watson, Ben Boulware and Jay Guillermo were all named ACC Player of the Week for their respective positions in the win over Louisville. Watson threw for 306 and five touchdowns, Boulware had 18 tackles, including three tackles for loss, and Guillermo had a 91 percent blocking grade in playing every offensive snap.Leggett Sets Record in Grand Style Clemson tight end Jordan Leggett became the school’s career leader in touchdowns by a tight end when he caught the game winning 31-yard scoring pass from Deshaun Watson against Louisville with just 3:14 left in the game. That was a quite a way to set the record as Louisville was ranked No.3 in the nation entering the contest. It was the second straight game Leggett has caught a touchdown pass, giving him the Clemson career record by one over current Indianap-olis Colts tight end Dwayne Allen (2009-11), Brandon Ford (2009-12) and former Pittsburgh Steeler Super Bowl Champion John McMakin (1969-71). Leggett tied the Clemson tight end touchdown record last year with eight. In that 2015 season he had at least one touchdown catch in five straight games, another Clemson record for a tight end. Leggett currently has 74 career catches for 972 yards and 13 scores. He needs 20 catches to break McMakin’s record for receptions by a tight end and 284 yards to break McMakin’s yardage record for a tight end. Clemson Team Streaks •Clemson has won 19 in a row at home, the longest active home winning streak in the nation. Here is a list of the top streaks in that category: Clemson 19, Air Force 15, Navy 12, Houston 11, North Carolina 9, Alabama 8, San Diego State 7, Tennessee 7. •Clemson has won 11 straight conference games, the second longest active streak in the nation. Here is a list of the top streaks in the nation in that category: Western Kentucky 13, Clemson 11, San Diego State 11, Alabama 10, Arkansas State 9, Oklahoma 8. (Streak includes conference championship games). •Clemson has won seven in a row on the road, the fourth longest active streak in the nation. Here is a list of those top streaks nationally: Ohio State 19, Alabama 8, Oklahoma 8, Clemson 7, North Carolina 7.Clemson’s Seven-Game Road Winning Streak Clemson has won seven in a road on the opponent’s home field. That is tied for the second longest streak of its kind in Clemson history. The record is eight in a row set between the 1978 and 1979 seasons. So a win at Boston College on Friday will tie the Clemson record for consecutive road wins. Clemson lost its last road game of 2014 at Georgia Tech, then went 5-0 last year on the opponent’s home field, wins at Louisville, Miami, NC State, Syracuse and South Carolina. Clemson has added to it this year with wins at Auburn and Georgia Tech. Clemson had not won at Auburn since 1951 and had not won at Georgia Tech since 2003. If Clemson can win at Boston College the Tigers will go for the school record at Florida State, where Clemson has not won since 2006 and has just one win since 1989.Clemson’s Longest True Road Game Win Streaks Years Games Ended by 1978-79 8 at South Carolina, 9-13 2015-16 7 Current 1939-40 7 at Tulane, 0-13 1947-49 7 at Rice, 7-33 2012-13 7 at South Carolina, 17-31 1950-51 6 at Pacific, 7-21 1994-96 6 at North Carolina, 45-0


CLEMSON at Boston CollegeBounce Back One of the statistics that is recorded on the PGA Tour is Bounce Back. That takes place when a player makes a bogey or higher, then makes a birdie or eagle on the next hole. In football we could call a Bounce Back, a score for a team after the opponent has just scored a touchdown or a field goal. Clemson has been good at Bounce Back over the last two years. In the last 20 games, 19 victories, when Clemson has been scored on the Tigers come back with a score about 50 percent of the time. Last year there were 47 opponent scores (35 touchdowns and 12 field goals) when Clemson had an opportunity and desire to score on the next drive. (We didn’t count Clemson ensuing possessions when the Tigers wanted to just run out the clock to end a half and weren’t trying to score.) In the ensuing possessions after those 47 scores, Clemson replied with a score 25 times, 16 touchdowns and nine field goals. In the ACC Championship game and two College Football Playoff games Clemson had eight bounce back scores after 14 opponent scores. So far this year, opponents have 13 scores and Clemson has come back with its own score six times, four touchdowns and two field goals. Clemson had two bounce back touchdowns in the win over Louisville.Great Birthday for Gallman Wayne Gallman celebrated his birthday on October 1, 2016 with a 110-yard rushing game on just 16 carries, an average of 6.9 yards per rush. He scored on a 24-yard touchdown. Gallman, who turned 22 that day, had his second 100-yard game of the year. He had 123 yards in the season opener against Auburn. The 110-yard game against Louisville was the 14th 100-yard game of his Clemson career. Gallman is now tied for second in Clemson history in career 100-yard rushing games with James Davis and needs just one to tie Raymond Priester’s record of 15 set between 1994-97.Clemson Career Leaders in 100-yard Rushing Games Rk Name Years Games 1.

The game also had a streaming average minute audience of 200,000. That was the highest overnight rating for an ABC Saturday night college football game this year and the most streamed game through week five of the season. The 6.0 rating was the second best of the college season on any night, trailing only the 7.0 rating for the Notre Dame at Texas game on the opening Sunday night of the season. The Clemson vs. Louisville game had the highest overnight rating for ABC Saturday night football since the 2014 ACC Championship game between Florida State and Georgia Tech. The overnight rating for the Clemson vs. Louisville game in the Louisville market was 24.9 and the rating in Greenville was 20.1.Clemson Not Allowing Big Plays While Clemson had many top 15 national rankings on defense last year, one area Dabo Swinney wanted to improve on was allowing big plays. So far that area has been a plus for the Tigers. Even after playing the nation’s top team in making big plays, Louisville, Clemson has allowed just five plays of 30 yards or more all year, fifth best in the nation. That includes just two pass plays of 30 yards or more, third best in the nation. Last year Clemson was 79th nationally in allowing plays of 30 yards or more with 20. Additionally, Clemson has allowed just 15 total plays of 20 yards or more this year, 16th best in the nation. Clemson has many top 20 rankings in various categories so far this year:

Clemson has averaged 345 yards and 65.4 percent completion against the Eagles over the five-game winning streak. Tajh Boyd, Cole Stoudt and Deshaun Watson have combined to completed 136 of 208 passes for 1,726 yards and eight touchdowns over the five games. Clemson has also averaged 155 yards on the ground for the five contests and scored nine touchdowns. Clemson has averaged 500.4 yards of total offense and had 24 first downs per game, leading to an average score of 31-18 over the last five years.

He had just six catches for 72 yards in the first four games and no touch-downs. But with the bright lights on for a prime time Saturday night, he came through with touchdown receptions of 33 and 37 yards in the second quarter. He now has 10 catches for 170 yards and two scores this year. Last year as a true freshman, Cain made some freshman All-American teams when he had 34 receptions for 582 yards and five scores. The 17.1 average per catch was best on the Clemson team. Towards the end of the season he broke Sammy Watkins Clemson record for consec-utive games with a touchdown reception by a freshman when he had a TD in five straight games. Cain’s 98 receiving yards against Louisville were a career high. He is suffering from a 100-yard jinx it appears as the Louisville game was his fourth at Clemson in which he had between 96 and 98 receiving yards, but he is yet to have a 100 yard game.Balanced Attack Means Victory Clemson had 201 yards rushing and 306 yards passing for 507 total in the win over Louisville. Clemson did all that in 62 plays so the Tigers averaged 8.18 yards per play, best for the Tigers against an FBS opponent since an 8.22 average against Georgia Tech in 2013. That kind of balance means victory for the Tigers. Over the history of Clemson football, the Tigers are now 77-0-1 when gaining at least 200 yards rushing and 200 yards passing in the same game. The Louisville game was the second time Clemson has done it this year after the Tigers did it a season record eight times in 2015. The only blemish on the record was a 24-24 tie at Georgia Tech in 1976.Johnson 10th in Interceptions Clemson safety Jadar Johnson had his third interception of the season and seventh of his career in the win over Louisville. In his first year as a starter, Johnson had four interceptions for 100 return yards in his first three years. So far this year in five games he has three interceptions for 41


CLEMSON at Boston Collegeyards. He is ranked 10th in the nation in interceptions. Johnson also has four passes broken up, giving him seven passes defensed to rank 23rd in the nation on a per game basis. In many ways, Johnson is the B.J. Goodson of this year’s defense. Goodson was a backup at linebacker for three years, then led the Tigers in tackles as a senior. He is now with the New York Giants. Johnson was a backup to Jayron Kearse, now with the Minnesota Vikings, for three years. Now he is coming into his own as a senior. He has 20 tackles in addition to his pass defense numbers, to rank eight on the teamBoulware Has His Best Game Linebacker Ben Boulware had the best game of his career against Louisville. The senior from Anderson, SC led the team in tackles with 17, including three tackles for loss. He added his first fumble recovery of the year and had a pass broken up. Boulware played 101 snaps in the game against the nation’s top offense. For the year Boulware has 40 tackles, including three tackles for los, a sack, a pass broken up and an interception. He has done that despite missing the South Carolina State game, so he averages 10 tackles per game.Watson by the Numbers Deshaun Watson had his eighth 300-yard passing game and his 14th 300-yard total offense game in the win over Louisville. The native of Gainesville, Georgia had 306 yards passing and another 91 rushing for 397 yards of total offense. He also threw five scoring passes. He joined former Tiger Tajh Boyd as the only FBS quarterbacks in the last four years to have at least 300 yards passing, 90 yards and rushing five touchdown passes against a top 10 team. Boyd did it against Ohio State in the 2014 Orange Bowl. The Louisville game marked the third time in his career Watson had at least 300 yards passing and five touchdown passes in the same game. Watson is still far behind Boyd in both categories. Boyd had 18 300-yard passing games and 22 300-yard total offense games.Clemson Starts 5-0 Clemson has started 5-0 for the fourth time in the last six years under Head Coach Dabo Swinney. The Tigers started 8-0 in 2011, 6-0 in 2013 and 14-0 last year. It is the fourth start of at least 5-0 since Swinney became head coach on a full time basis for the 2009 season. Clemson had just three starts of 5-0 or better in the 53 seasons before he took over. Swinney has now set the Clemson record for 5-0 starts in a career. Josh Cody had three in three consecutive years (1928-30). Frank How-ard and Danny Ford had two apiece.

Huegel Much Improved on Kickoffs Clemson is much improved in terms of special teams play and one of the most improved aspects has been kickoff coverage. The Tigers are allowing just 13.7 yards per kickoff return and that leads the nation. Greg Huegel has handled the kickoffs this year and has 16 touch-backs in 30 kickoffs. That is a 53.3 touchback percentage. Last year, Huegel had just 10 touchbacks in 37 kickoffs, 27 percent. Huegel has continued to do well in terms kicking field goals this year. He has made 7-9 field goals and 19-20 extra points for 40 total points, an average of eight points per game, best on the team.Clemson Special Teams Improved in Many Areas •Clemson has allowed just 13.7 yards per kickoff return this year. Last year opponents averaged 24.8 yards per kickoff return.

•Clemson averaged 25 yards per kickoff return this year after averaging 21.6 yards per return last year. •Clemson has averaged 14.5 yards per punt return this year after averaging 2.3 yards per return last year. •Clemson kickers have had touchbacks on 50 percent of their kickoffs this year. Only 34 percent of kickoffs went for touchbacks last year. •Ray-Ray McCloud has 168 punt return yards this year, nearly three times as many as Clemson had all of last year (63).Tigers Averaging 35 Points and 463 Yards Clemson has averaged 35 points and 463 yards per game through five games this year. If the season ended today, this would be just the fourth Clemson team to average at least 35 points and 450 yards per game over the course of the season. The previous three teams to do it were the 2012, 2013 and 2015 teams.

It was just the eighth time in history Clemson committed five turnovers, yet won the contest. It was the first time in 31 years it had happened. Clemson had five lost fumbles against Virginia Tech in 1985, yet beat the Hokies, 20-17 on a field goal by David Treadwell on the last play of the game. The most turnovers by Clemson in a win is eight, in 1963 against Wake Forest. Incredible as it may seem, Clemson won that game 36-0. The Tigers seemed to either score a touchdown or turn the ball over in that game and Wake Forest never could score after a Clemson miscue. That might be a national record. Wake Forest had just 148 yards of offense in that game. Below is a list of the games Clemson committed at least five turnovers yet lost the game.

First Comeback Victory under Watson When Clemson overcame an eight-point deficit in the last eight minutes against Louisville, it marked the first time Clemson had recorded a comeback victory since 2014 at Boston College. With all the wins Clemson has had recently that seems strange. It has not been any fault of Deshaun Watson and the Clemson offense. Clemson quite simply has not trailed much in the fourth period since that win at BC two years ago. In the 26 games since that come back win over Boston College in Chestnut Hill, Clemson has lost just two games, at Georgia Tech in 2014 and the National Championship game against Alabama. In those 26 games, Clemson only trailed in the fourth quarter in the two games the Tigers lost. And, the Georgia Tech game, Watson was hurt and out of the game, so he only had the opportunity for a fourth quar-ter comeback one time prior to the Louisville game and that was against Alabama. Clemson trailed 36-28 in the fourth period with under eight min-utes left against Louisville, then took the Tigers on a 14-0 run to win 42-36. The lead touchdown was the result of an 85-yard drive that culminated with a 31-yard scoring pass to Jordan Leggett.Clemson’s 28-Point Quarter vs. Louisville Clemson had a 28-point second quarter thanks to the passing of Deshaun Watson, who was 11-12 189 yards and three scores. It marked


CLEMSON at Boston Collegejust the second time Clemson had scored at least 28 points in a quarter against a top 25 team. The only other time that happened was in 1999 at Georgia Tech. Clemson ended up losing that game 45-42. Clemson trailed in the fourth period against Louisville 36-28 and it appeared that might happen again until the Tigers rallied in the final period. Clemson’s Highest Ranked Victories Clemson has defeated a team ranked in the top 10 of at least one poll 20 times in its history. That includes 10 times under current Head Coach Dabo Swinney. Over the last four years, Clemson has beaten top 10 teams from Notre Dame, LSU, North Carolina, Oklahoma and Louisville. The win over a third ranked Louisville team tied for the highest ranked team Clemson has defeated. Clemson also beat a #3 Oklahoma team in the 2015 College Football Playoff, a #3 Florida State team in 2003, and a #3 Virginia Tech team in the 2011 ACC Championship game.

This is the second time in history and irst time since the 1965-67 era that Clemson has defeated the same team three years in a row by a touchdown or less. Clemson defeated the Cardinals 23-17 in 2014, by a 20-17 score in 2015. Clemson won the three in a row over Duke between 1965-67 by scores of 3-2, 9-6 and 13-7, respectively. Swinney 10-5 vs. Top 10 Teams When Clemson defeated No. 3 Louisville on October 1 it gave Clemson Head Coach Dabo Swinney a 10-5 record against top 10 teams as Clemson head coach. It is interesting to note that seven of the 10 wins have taken place away from Clemson. The Louisville win was the fourth in the last two years over a top 10 team. Swinney has half of the 20 Clemson wins over top 10 teams in school history.

Clemson Defense Outstanding vs. Georgia Tech Clemson had one of its best team defensive efforts in decades in the 26-7 win over Georgia Tech on Thursday, September 22. Clemson held Paul Johnson’s team to 124 yards of total offense and just seven points. That included just 95 yards rushing and 29 yards passing. The Yellow Jackets completed just 4-14 passes and had -3 yards passing in the irst half. The 124 yards by Georgia Tech was the fewest for a Paul Johnson coached team. He came to Tech at the beginning of the 2008 season. The 95 yards rushing tied for the third fewest by Tech on the ground under Johnson. The fewest is 71 yards against Clemson in 2015. So two of the top four rush defenses against Johnson coached


CLEMSON at Boston Collegeteam have come against Clemson each of the last two years. Additionally, Clemson held Tech to 2.38 yards per play, the only game Tech has failed to average at least three yards a carry in the Johnson era.

Swinney Gets 50th Win over ACC Competition Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney became just the eighth coach in ACC history to record at least 50 wins over ACC teams with the 26-7 win over Georgia Tech on September 22. Swinney now has 51 after beating third ranked Louisville. Bobby Bowden, who coached at Florida State as an ACC coach from 1992-2009, had 118 ACC wins and just 27 losses. Other ACC coaches with at least 50 wins in league play are George Welsh of Virginia (85), Frank Beamer of Virginia Tech (72), Frank Howard of Clemson (66), Earle Edwards of NC State (55), Bill Murray of Duke (54), and Bill Dooley of North Carolina and Wake Forest (52). Dooley also coached at Virginia Tech, but the Hokies were not in the ACC when he was there coach. In terms of overall wins as an ACC coach, Swinney is now ninth with 80. The win over SC State moved Swinney out of a tie for ninth with Jerry Claiborne and Earle Edwards, who both had 77. Bobby Bowden is the all-time leader in total wins as an ACC coach with 173. It is interesting to note that former Clemson coaches Danny Ford and Frank Howard both had the same amount with 96, tied for ifth best in ACC history. Howard had 165 wins in his career, but the irst 14 years of his career Clemson was not in the ACC. The 2010s, Winningest in Clemson History With a 5-0 start, Clemson now has a 67-19 record in the decade of the 2010s. That computes to a .779 winning percentage, the best for any decade in Clemson history. This decade has moved ahead of the 1980s in terms of winning percentage. In the 1980s, Clemson had a .767 winning percentage off an 87-25-4 record, the ifth best winning percentage in college football. Clemson did not have a losing season in any year in the 1980s under head coach Danny Ford, who coached every game in that decade. So far Dabo Swinney has coached every game in the decade of the 2010s.

McCloud Most Improved Player Sophomore Ray Ray McCloud has made an impact on the Clemson special teams and as a receiver so far this year. He is ranked in the top 10 in the nation in punt returns. McCloud, also a starting wide receiver, has 10 punt returns for 168 yards, an average of 16.8 yards per return. The native of Tampa, Florida already has more than twice as many punt return yards as the entire Clemson team had last year. The Tigers had just 63 punt return yards in 2015 in 15 games. The last Clemson player to average 25 yards per punt return for the course of the season is C.J. Spiller, who averaged 26.3 per return in 2009. But, Spiller had just eight returns. No Clemson player has had 250 punt return yards in a season since Justin Miller in 2004. Miller, who went on to be an NFL Pro Bowl kick returner, had 339 punt return yards that year. McCloud was Clemson’s top receiver in the win over South


CLEMSON at Boston CollegeCarolina State. He had four catches for 60 yards and two scores. He improved on that with eight catches for 101 yards. The yardage total was a career high. He is second on the Clemson team in receptions with 24 for 271 yards and two scores. He is irst on the team in all-purpose yards with 456, an average of 91 per game. Watson Breaks Boyd Mark Deshaun Watson threw for 292 yards and three scores in Clem-son’s win over Troy and followed that up with three more scores in the win over South Carolina State. He has now thrown at least one touchdown pass in 21 consecutive games a school record. Tajh Boyd had a streak of 17 in a row between 2011 and 2013. Over the streak Watson has thrown at least three touchdown passes nine times during the streak, including ive in the win over Louis-ville. For his career, Watson now has 63 career touchdown passes, eighth among active players at the FBS level. He also has 17 rushing touchdowns to give him 80 scores in terms of touchdown responsibility for his three years, seventh best in terms of touchdown responsibility. That ranks seventh best among active FBS players. His passing eficien-cy rating is 156.9 is ifth among active FBS players and he is third in completion percentage at .663. Wilkins Touchdown a First Clemson sophomore defensive lineman Christian Wilkins is rap-idly getting a reputation as one of the most all-around football players in the nation. Wilkins burst on the national scene in the Orange Bowl last year when he caught a 31-yard pass from punter Andy Teasdall on a fake punt against Oklahoma. That was a momentum changer for the Tigers in their 37-17 victory. Then, in the 2016 season opener against Auburn, he threw a key block in Clemson’s goal line offense to allow Wayne Gallman to score a key touchdown in the Tigers six-point win. Gallman was quoted as saying, “That was the easiest thing I have done at Clemson.” Wilkins brought his offensive exploits to a new level against Troy last week when he caught a one-yard touchdown pass from Deshaun Watson on a third-and-goal play to give the Tigers a 20-10 lead. With the reception, Wilkins became the irst defensive lineman in Clemson history to score a touchdown on an offensive play. Wilkins has certainly been doing his job on the defensive line as well. He has 27 tackles over the irst ive games, including a team best 6.5 tackles for loss. Clemson Linebackers Productive The Clemson defense has had a lot of irsts under coordinator Brent Venables. The Tigers have led the nation in total tackles for loss each of the last three years. Clemson is the irst school to do that nation-ally. Clemson is 10th in the nation in tackles for loss so far this year with 48 in ive games. In the win over Troy, three different Clemson linebackers had interceptions, the irst time that has happened since two-platoon football began in 1965. According to Whitey Jordan, an assistant coach on the 1964 staff, Clemson two-way players Ted Bunton, Jay Cooper and Pat Crain played linebacker when they were on defense that year. All three of those players had interceptions in Clemson’s 29-7 win over Virginia in 1964.

Kendall Joseph, Jalen Williams and Dorian O’Daniel all had thefts in their pass coverage in the irst half of Clemson’s win over Troy. It was the irst career interception for all three. To put into perspective how rare it is for linebackers to get in-terceptions, Clemson players at that position had just four all of last year, two by Ben Boulware and two by B. J. Goodson.

Over the last nine years, the 2015 team is the only squad to have at least three linebacker interceptions for the course of a season. This is the irst time since 2002 that three different linebackers have had interceptions in a season. That year Eric Sampson, Kelvin Morris and Altroy Bodrick all had one pick apiece.

A linebacker has had an interception just 17 times in Dabo Swinney’s head coaching career and now seven of them have taken place over the last two years.

Clemson Has Longest Active Streak of Top 5 AP Rankings Clemson has been ranked in the top ive in the nation in 14 consecutive AP polls. That is the longest active streak in the nation and the longest streak of top ive rankings in Clemson history. The national

record is 55 consecutive weeks in the AP top ive by Miami (FL) from 2000-03. Clemson has an active streak of 26 consecutive polls in the top 25, the sixth longest active streak. Clemson has been ranked in the top 10 for 16 straight polls, tied for the second longest active streak with Alabama. Ohio State has the current longest streak at 27 in a row in the top 10.

Tigers Have Won 19 in a Row at Home Clemson enters the NC State game on October 15 with a school record 19-game winning streak in Memorial Stadium. The streak began with a 55-31 win over Georgia Tech in 2013. The Tigers inished the regular season home schedule that year with a win over The Citadel, and posted consecutive 7-0 records at home since then. The 2014 and 2015 seasons mark the irst time Clemson has had consecutive perfect seasons at home since 1950 and 1951 when Clemson was 4-0 at home each year. It should be pointed out that the Clemson record for consec-utive home games without a loss, has not been broken. From the South Carolina game of 1980 to the Virginia Tech game of 1984, Clemson did not lose a game at home, a streak of 25 consecutive games without a loss in Death Valley. The Tigers were 23-0-2 at home during that time, a tie with Boston College in 1982 and a tie with Georgia in 1983. Clemson’s current home winning streak of 19 in a row is the longest in the nation.

Swinney 49-6 at Home Head Coach Dabo Swinney is 49-6 at home at Clemson, including the 19-game active winning streak. His Tigers have lost more


CLEMSON at Boston Collegethan one game at home just once, in 2010 when the Tigers were 5-2 at home. Swinney and the Tigers lost their irst home game, in 2008 by a 21-17 score against an unranked Georgia Tech team. That is the only unranked team Swinney has lost to at home. He has won 43 straight at home against unranked teams. In the 19-game winning streak, Clemson has an average margin of victory of 24 points per game. Only four teams have been within 10 points of Clemson at home in the 19-game streak. In 2014, Clemson beat Louisville 23-17 and in 2015, beat Notre Dame 24-22. This Clemson defeated Troy and Louisville by the identical six point margins. Fifteen of the 19 wins in the stretch have been by at least 10 points and nine have been by at least 20 points. Swinney’s 49-6 record computes to an 89.1 winning percent-age (min 20 games). That is a Clemson coaching record for winning percentage at home. He is just ahead of Ken Hatield, who was 22-3-1 at home between 1990-93, a .865 winning percentage. Swinney is already third in Clemson history in total home wins. Frank Howard has the record with 81 between 1940-69, and Danny Ford is second with 53.

Welcome Back Mike Williams Playing in his irst game since the 2015 opener, Mike Williams had nine catches for 174 yards in the Tigers 19-13 win at Auburn. The Clemson senior had 70 percent of Clemson’s 248 receiving yards in the game, as he repeatedly made back shoulder receptions from quarterback Deshaun Watson. Williams had 1,030 receiving yards as a sophomore in 2015. He had a career high 155 receiving yards and two scores on his birthday against NC State that year. Then in last year’s opener he suffered a neck injury after making a touchdown reception against Wofford on the irst possession of the season. The injury forced him to miss the rest of the season. But he came back with a vengeance at Auburn as he wiped out his career high in reception yardage and tied his career high in terms of total receptions (also had nine against Oklahoma in 2014 bowl game). Williams established a Clemson record for receiving yards in a season opener with his 174. The previous high mark in an opener was 152 by Airese Currie in 2004. Williams now has 25 catches for 373 yards to lead the Tigers. He went over the 100 mark in career receptions in the win over Louisville when he had ive receptions for 70 yards and a touchdown. He now has 104 catches in his career for 1746 yards.

Clemson Opens with Thrilling Win at Auburn Clemson gained a 19-13 win over Auburn in the season opener at Auburn, Ala. Here are some notes on that victory: •First win to open the season on the road against a team cur-rently in the SEC since 1903. The last time Clemson accomplished that feat was a 29-0 win at Georgia. John Heisman was the Clemson coach. Clemson was 1-8 all-time in openers on the road against teams currently in the SEC. •First win at Auburn since 1950 when the Tigers defeated Au-burn 41-0 behind the running of all-time great Fred Cone, who had 163 rushing yards in the game. •Clemson had a 100-yard rusher and a 100-yard receiver in the contest. Wayne Gallman had 30 carries, second highest in his career, for 123 yards. It was his 13th career 100-yard game. He needs just two more to tie the Clemson record of 15 set by Raymond Priester between 1994-97. •Clemson held Auburn to 13 points and one touchdown in the Tigers victory at Auburn to open the 2016 season. It was the fewest points Clemson has allowed against an SEC team since the 2009 when the Tigers defeated Kentucky 21-13. It was the fewest points Clemson has given up to an SEC team on the road since a 13-9 Clemson win at South Carolina in 2005. 50 Years of Howard’s Rock The Clemson football program will celebrate 50 years of How-ard’s Rock at Memorial Stadium this year. Howard’s Rock was irst put on a pedestal at the top of the hill at the east end of the stadium for the Virginia game of 1966. Clemson won that game 40-35 thanks to a great second half comeback. The Tigers did not start the tradition of rubbing Howard’s Rock before they ran down the hill until the Wake Forest game of 1967, the

season opener. With the tradition something that took place over two seasons, the celebration of Howard’s Rock will be a year long celebration in 2016. Against Troy, members of the S.C. Jones family and the family of Gene Willimon, were honored. Jones brought the rock from Death Valley, California and gave it to Frank Howard, who in turn gave it to Gene Willimon, the former executive secretary of IPTAY. It was Willimon’s idea to mount it on the pedestal at the East Endzone of the stadium. Wilkins and Lawrence Join the Jumbo Package Christian Wilkins and Dexter Lawrence were quite a tag team on the Clemson defensive front line in the win over Auburn. They were a big reason Clemson held Auburn to 87 rushing yards, a program that av-eraged 196 rushing yards per game in 2015 and led the nation in 2013. Lawrence inished with 10 tackles according to the Clemson coaches grading of the ilm, second behind Kendall Joseph’s 14. Wilkins added seven. They had sacks on consecutive plays in the second period, and Wilkins ended the game with 2.5 tackles for loss, a fumble recovery and a pass delection at the line of scrimmage. Additionally, they both played in Clemson’s “Jumbo Package” when the Tiger offense got close to the goal line. Both players had successful blocks on Wayne Gallman’s one yard touchdown run on fourth down in the second period. Both players are also blocking backs in Clemson’s punt formation.

Joseph Has Career Best Night Kendall Joseph was Clemson’s top tackler off stats from the Clemson coaches grading in the season opener at Auburn. The red-shirt sophomore from nearby Belton, S.C. made his irst college start and had 14 tackles, including three tackles for loss and a sack. As a freshman in 2015, Joseph had just 11 tackles all year in 63 plays over seven games. He is a former three-time state champion in the state of South Carolina in weight lifting. Joseph was named ACC Linebacker of the Week for his performance against Auburn, his irst career start. He was also named Clemson’s top defensive player by the coaching staff in the win over Troy. Joseph is Clemson’s top tackler this year with 43, including six tackles for loss.

Tigers Continue to Make Tackles for Loss at Alarming Rate Clemson had 14 tackles for loss in the season opening win over Auburn, tied for the fourth most over the irst weekend of college football. It was a balanced performance in that area as nine different players were involved in the stops behind the line of scrimmage. Kendall Joseph led the way with three, the irst three of his career in fact. Christian Wilkins had 2.5 and Cordrea Tankersley had two. Clemson had seven tackles for loss at Georgia Tech and added 10 more against Auburn. Since Brent Venables has been at Clemson the Tigers have done very well in this category. In fact, each of the last three years, the Tigers have led the nation in total tackles for loss. Clemson had 123 in 2013, 131 in 2014 and 126 last year. The Tigers were 28th in the cate-gory in 2012, Venables irst year, with 87. In his 59 games as Clemson defensive coordinator, Venables defense has had 515 tackles for loss, an average of 8.8 per game, best in the nation over that time. Those 515 tackles for loss have been for 2122 yards, or 1.21 miles of real estate. The 500th tackle for loss was a sack by Carlos Watkins against Georgia Tech. Additionally, Clemson has recorded at least one sack in each of the last 35 games, second longest active streak in the nation. Clemson had ive sacks against Louisville. The Cards had allowed just four in the irst four games of the season. Clemson has 18 sacks for the year.

Clemson Career Leaders Clemson has an active player in the top 10 in school history in the major categories of passing offense, total offense, rushing yardage and receiving yardage. Wayne Gallman is currently ninth in school history in rushing yards. He moved into the top 10 against Troy. Gallman is also coming up on the school record for 100-yard games. He has 14 for his career, one fewer than Raymond Priester had between 1994-97. Deshaun Watson is now third in school history in passing yards with 6872. He moved ahead of Woody Dantzler when he had 292 passing yards against Troy. Watson is also fourth in total offense with 8388. Artavis Scott is 9th in school history in receiving yardage and he went over the 2000 yard mark at Georgia Tech. He moved into the top


CLEMSON at Boston College10 in Clemson history in career receiving yards against South Carolina State. He moved ahead of Jacoby Ford, who was watching from the sidelines.

Watson Has Top Winning Percentage

Of all the records Deshaun Watson owns, winning percentage

would have to be the one he covets the most. The junior has a 23-2

record as a starter for a 92 percent mark, ahead of the .813 by another

DeChane, (pronounced the same) DeChane Cameron, who quarterbacked

the Tigers in 1990 and 1991. He was 19-4-1 as a starter.

As far as total wins is concerned Tajh Boyd and Rodney

Williams have the record with 32 wins apiece. Boyd was 32-8 between

2010-13 and Williams was 32-10-2 between 1985-88. Williams is now

the color commentator on Clemson’s radio network.

41 Straight Wins over Unranked Opponents One of the most incredible streaks for the Clemson football program the last ive years has been its streak of 41 consecutive games without losing to an unranked opponent in either poll. (It is a 43-game streak against teams not in the top 25 of the AP poll). Alabama is the only school with a longer streak of wins over un-ranked teams at 63. Clemson last lost to an unranked team on November 19, 2011 when the seventh-ranked Tigers lost at NC State 37-13. Dabo Swinney has not lost at home to an unranked opponent since the irst game he coached for the Tigers. That was on October 18, 2008. Georgia Tech won a battle of unranked teams 21-17. Since then Swinney and the Tigers have won 43 in a row at home over unranked teams.

Offspring of Former Tigers

Eight members of the Clemson football team are offspring of former

Tiger football players. That includes six players who are sons of mem-

bers of Clemson’s 1981 National Championship team. Two of them,

J.D. Davis and Judah Davis, are twin sons of 1981 captain Jeff Davis,

who is in the College Football Hall of Fame. Kanyan Tuttle is the son of

former Clemson All-American Perry Tuttle, who was on the cover of Sports

Illustrated the week after Clemson defeated Nebraska for the National

Championship.

Brian Dawkins, Jr. is the son of former Clemson All-American and

NFL great Brian Dawkins. Junior is injured and will red-shirt this year.

Amir Trapp is the son of James Trapp, who went on to win a Super Bowl

Clemson National Rankings under Venables

Clemson defensive coordinator Brent Venables has led the Ti-

gers defense to some outstanding national rankings over his four years as

defensive coordinator, especially over the last two years. Clemson ranked

irst in the nation in total defense in 2014, then ranked 10th in 2015.


CLEMSON at Boston CollegeThe 2015 ranking was quite an accomplishment considering Venables

lost eight starters from his 2014 defense.

Clemson ranked irst in the nation in pass eficiency defense

in 2014 and 11th in 2015. The Tigers were in the top ive in completion

percentage defense each of the last two years and in the top four in third

down conversion defense in both 2014 and 2015. Overall, Clemson led

the nation in 12 different defensive categories in 2014 and ranked in the

top 10 in six of those areas in 2015.

The aggressive approach has paid off for Venables as Clemson

has led the nation in total tackles for loss each of the last three years

with 123 in 2013, 131 in 2014 and 126 in 2015.

Exceeding Expectations Clemson has at least matched its preseason ranking in the USA Today coaches poll each of the last ive years. That is becoming more and more dificult to accomplish in light of some high preseason rankings in recent years. This year the only way Clemson might do it is if the Ti-gers play for the National Championship. Below is a chart of Clemson’s preseason and postseason ranking in each poll since 2011.

Clemson Preseason Pick to Win ACC

Clemson is the preseason favorite to repeat as Atlantic Coast

Conference football champion, according to a poll of 191 media mem-

bers in attendance at the 2016 ACC Football Kickoff in Charlotte

The Tigers, who posted a 14-1 overall record last season and

reached the College Football Playoff national title game, are also picked

to again capture the Atlantic Division, while North Carolina is favored to

repeat as the Coastal Division winner.

Clemson junior quarterback Deshaun Watson was the over-

whelming choice to repeat as ACC Player of the Year after his record-set-

ting 2015 campaign. Watson was also the media’s preseason selection as

conference player of the year last season.

The Tigers were picked the likely 2016 ACC champions on 144

ballots, followed by Florida State with 39 votes and North Carolina with

seven. One voter chose Louisville.

In the Atlantic Division preseason voting, Clemson received

148 irst-place votes and inished with 1,293 total points. Florida State

received 42 irst-place votes and placed second with 1,176 points, while

Louisville had one irst-place vote and was third in the voting with 961

points.


CLEMSON at Boston CollegeNorth Carolina was selected the likely Coastal winner by 121

voters and inished with 1,238 total points, followed by Miami with 50

irst-place votes and 1,108 points. Pitt received 14 irst-place votes and

was third in the balloting with 859 points.

If the overall prediction of the voters proves correct, the 2016

ACC Dr Pepper Football Championship on December 3 at Charlotte’s

Bank of America Stadium will be a rematch of last year’s event. Clemson

defeated North Carolina 45-37 for the 2015 ACC title after both teams

posted 8-0 records in conference play during the regular season.

Watson led the preseason ACC Player of the Year balloting with

164 votes, followed by Florida State running back Dalvin Cook with 18.

North Carolina running back Elijah Hood received four votes, while Miami

quarterback Brad Kaaya and Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson picked

up two votes apiece. Duke cornerback/return specialist DeVon Edwards

received one vote.

The ACC Male Athlete of the Year and the MVP of both the Dr

Pepper ACC Football Championship Game and the Capital One Orange

Bowl, Watson ranked ifth nationally in pass completion percentage

(67.8) and was voted the ACC Offensive Back of the Week four times in

2015. Watson is bidding to become the irst student-athlete to be named

ACC Football Player of the Year in back-to-back seasons since Florida

State’s Charlie Ward in 1992-93.

Clemson Has Positive Ranking by Wall Street Journal for Third Straight Year Each year the Wall Street Journal publishes its Grid of Shame. It is a grid with four quadrants that take into account a team’s perfor-mance on and off the ield. Some of the off the ield considerations are the school’s APR ranking, graduation rate, NCAA probation history and player arrests. The goal of college football programs is to be in the upper right quadrant of the grid at the intersection of Powerhouse on the ield and Admirable reputation off the ield.

This year 14 programs were in the upper right quadrant, in-cluding Clemson, who was the team furthest to the right, which meant it was the top program on the ield among the programs who are considered to have admirable qualities off the ield. This marks the third consecutive time the WSJ did the grid that Clemson has been listed in the upper right quadrant. Clemson, Stanford, Washington, Michigan State, Florida, Michigan, Iowa, Boise State and UCLA are the nine schools who have been in the upper right quadrant each of the last three times the WSJ has done the grid.

Dabo and Kathleen Swinney Pledge $1M to IPTAYDabo and Kathleen Swinney recently pledged $1 million to

IPTAY in support of Clemson football to provide future funding for pro-grammatic and building initiatives that will continue to propel the program forward.

It is not the irst time that the Swinneys have chosen to support programs at Clemson. In addition to past gifts of more than $340,000 from the All In Foundation in support of Call Me MISTER, ClemsonLIFE, Clemson’s Bio-Engineering Department (for breast cancer research), Clemson Community Engagement Department (breast cancer pro-gram), Clemson’s Education Department (Reading Recovery and Early Literacy), Clemson’s Outdoor Lab (new dock project) the Swinneys have personally donated more than $265,000 of their private funds to need-based scholarships, Golf Paws, the Clemson chapel project, IPTAY’s annual fund, and the completion of the WestZone

“I love Clemson, and I believe in our program, and I feel like Clemson has been pulling for me since that irst game in 2008,” Swinney said. “But no matter how much we win on the ield, my passion is build-ing and empowering successful young men through the game of football. Kathleen and I are blessed. And we have always known we need to use those blessings to do good for others. It’s so important to us that we give back to this program that has been so good to us.

“Over the years, the Swinneys have left no doubt about their dedication to helping others. One of their largest and most visible avenues is through the All In Foundation. Founded in January 2009, the foundation has four major focuses: breast cancer research, the Family Effect, Call Me MISTER and the ClemsonLIFE Program. Their efforts through the foundation alone have resulted in gifts of over $2 million to these causes.

Two focus areas, ClemsonLIFE and Call Me MISTER, offer young people the opportunity to improve their lives and the lives of others through the power of education. Involvement with special-needs young people began as a tribute to the touching life of John Mark Stall-ings, the special-needs son of Gene Stallings, the coach who deeply impacted the Swinneys during their time at the University of Alabama. The ClemsonLIFE program has helped hundreds of young people learn to live independently as self-suficient adults.

Call Me MISTER, a program begun at Clemson and now spread to 20 colleges and universities, is an initiative that increases the pool of available teachers from a broader more diverse background particularly among the state’s lowest performing elementary schools. The program has created a group of educational leaders who serve as mentors and role models to the communities they serve.

“It is hard to ind programs that are closer to my heart than ClemsonLIFE and Call Me MISTER,” Clemson President Jim Clements said. “The Swinneys generously gave to an endowment established in the name of my daughter, Grace, that offers grants to students who need inancial assistance to be a part of ClemsonLIFE.

“And, anyone who has seen Call Me MISTER in action has witnessed the incredible impact of this program in building leaders across the country. These men are changing lives every day — not just in the classroom, but in their families and the community. It’s great to have a head football coach who continuously shows his commitment to Clemson University through these tremendous programs and others, and is an advocate for and supporter of the entire community.”

Changing lives is the overarching theme of Swinney philan-thropy. And much of that vision stems from their own personal experi-ences. The Family Effect works to reduce alcohol and drug addiction as a leading cause of family collapse and harm to children. The Swinney family has felt the impact, understands the risk and knows the need for intervening healing in these homes.

“There’s no doubt that times were tough for my family when I was younger. But what I try to do with those experiences is turn them into empathy. I do understand. I do know how these people feel. And as long as we have the inancial resources to try to make a difference, we will,” Swinney said.

The Swinneys have also experienced irst-hand the toll that breast cancer can take on an entire family. Kathleen’s older sister died of breast cancer, and Kathleen discovered that she and her younger sister carry the BRCA gene mutation, making the risk of the disease very close to her. That passion has led to support of early detection as well as the breakthrough research being done on the Clemson campus by Dr. Brian Booth of the Institute for Biological Interfaces of Engineering.

As Kathleen says, “I really dream of a day when no one suffers


CLEMSON at Boston Collegefrom this disease. That’s why I am so passionate about the work of the foundation. I want to help ind the cure and meanwhile make things just a little easier for the families who are in the battle with this disease.”

While Kathleen and Dabo Swinney have a long history of gen-erosity, they would never call their missions accomplished. Dabo sounds like the passionate coach he is when he talks about getting behind these Clemson programs: “You know; Clemson is a great school. But we can’t rest on that. We’ve got so much more to do. We have to always strive to get better and that’s why we’ve got a new strategic plan at the Univer-sity called ClemsonForward. That says it all. Just like playing offense in football: It’s all about the forward progress. No progress. No win. We can’t stop now.”

Renfrow to Miss at Least Four Weeks Clemson starting wide receiver Hunter Renfrow will miss “a few weeks,” according to Head Coach Dabo Swinney. Renfrow suffered a bro-ken hand in the Tigers win over Troy on Saturday while making a 35-yard touchdown reception. Preliminary reports on Saturday indicated it was not a serious injury. “We thought Hunter was going to be fine, but the MRI on Monday showed a little crack below his thumb,” said Swinney on his Monday night radio show, Tiger Calls. “He could play with it, but the injury would make it more difficult to hold on to the ball when he tried to tuck it away. He will have surgery to repair it and miss a few weeks. We hope to have him back for the NC State game, but certainly by the Florida State game after the open date.” Renfrow was one of Clemson’s top players in the school’s run to the National Championship game last year. He had 33 receptions for 492 yards and five touchdowns in 2015. The original walk-on had seven recep-tions for 88 yards and two scores against Alabama. He has caught at least one touchdown pass in each of the last four games. He has four receptions for 62 yards and two scores in two games so far this year. Ray Ray McCloud is expected to move into the starting lineup with Renfrow’s injury. Renfrow also served as the backup punter. The backup punter will now be Carson King, a red-shirt freshman walkon from Nashville, Tenn.

PARTICIPATION


AUBURN, ALA. - Clemson opened the 2016 season

Saturday with a 19-13 win over Auburn in front of a

sellout Jordan-Hare Stadium. The Tigers batted down a

Hail Mary pass attempt on the final play of the game to

move to 1-0 on the season.

Deshaun Watson passed for 248 yards and a touchdown,

while wide receiver Mike Williams signaled his return

with a career night. He caught nine passes for 174 yards

to lead the playmakers. Defensively, Clemson came up

with three takeaways and held Auburn to just 262 yards.

A scoreless first quarter saw the Tigers put together a pair

of drives that resulted in points in the second. After three

big completions to Williams — who returned from a neck

injury suffered in last year’s opener — Wayne Gallman

plunged in from a yard out behind two defensive tackles

lined up in the backfield. With just seven seconds left

before the half, Greg Huegel tacked on a 30-yard field

goal to put Clemson up 10-3.

Auburn pulled to within a touchdown at 13-6 heading

into the fourth quarter, but Hunter Renfrow provided the

play of the night. Facing third-and-goal, Watson lofted

a beautiful pass from the 16 to Renfrow, who made a

spectacular catch in the corner of the endzone. It was

his third straight game with a touchdown reception.

GAME STATS


GAME 2

CLEMSON, S.C. - The No. 2 Clemson Tigers defeated

Troy 30-24 at Memorial Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

The victory extended the Tigers’ home winning streak

to 17 games.

The Tigers (2-0) were led by quarterback Deshaun Wat-

son, who was 27-53 passing for 292 yards and three

touchdowns, as he moved ahead of Woodrow Dantzler

for third place on Clemson’s all-time passing yards list.

The first quarter featured little scoring, as both teams

struggled to develop any type of offensive rhythm. Favor-

able field position following a punt allowed the Trojans

(1-1) to convert a short drive into the game’s first score,

a 39-yard field goal by Ryan Kay. On the ensuing pos-

session, the Tigers reciprocated with a 26-yard field goal

by Greg Huegel.

The second quarter was a far different story. Watson

took advantage of a Troy turnover by throwing a 35-yard

touchdown pass to Hunter Renfrow, marking the sopho-

more’s fourth straight game with a touchdown reception.

Interceptions played a key role in the second quarter,

with Troy quarterback Brandon Silvers throwing three to

Clemson linebackers. Interestingly enough, these were

the first career interceptions for all three (Jalen Williams,

Kendall Joseph, Dorian O’Daniel). Williams’ interception,

which was the byproduct of a tipped pass at the line,

GAME STATS

bailed out the Tigers, who had just turned the ball over

in their own territory.

Despite several electrifying offensive and defensive plays,

including a 66-yard touchdown run by Troy running back

Jabir Frye that tied the score 10-10. Late in the quarter,

Clemson’s Ray-Ray McCloud dropped a sure punt return

for a touchdown on the one yard line, and after a lengthy

video review, Troy took over on a touchback.

After Kay missed a 48-yard field-goal attempt in the final

seconds, the Tigers took a 13-10 advantage into halftime.

McCloud, who had seven catches for 86 yards in the

game, had three receptions on a key third-quarter drive

en route to a goal-line situation. Defensive lineman

Christian Wilkins then made the second-most important

reception of his college career later in the drive in the

fourth quarter, a one-yard touchdown grab, the first of

his career, that gave the Tigers a 20-10 lead.

Clemson scored to take a 27-10 lead with 10 minutes

remaining in the game when Watson found Deon Cain

in the endzone for a 23-yard touchdown. After a Huegel

field goal with 2:25 remaining, Troy drove 68 yards and

scored to cut the deficit to 30-24, as Silvers connected

with Deondre Douglas for a one-yard touchdown pass

with 44 seconds remaining. The Tigers recovered the

ensuing onside kick and held on for the 30-24 victory.


GAME 3

Fueled by a 31-point first quarter, No. 3 Clemson routed

SC State 59-0 on Sept. 17, 2016 in Memorial Stadium.

That opening frame was the highest scoring first quarter

in school history. With the win, the Tigers improved to

3-0 on the year.

“Today was a great day,” said head coach Dabo Swinney.

“It’s hard to play 92 guys and still get the shutout...I

don’t care who you’re playing. I’m so proud of our guys.

They played a clean game for four quarters today. This

was great for our team, for our spirit and our morale. It

was great to get out there today and go play.”

On the offensive side of the ball, the Tigers were led by

Deshaun Watson, who was 12-15 passing for 152 yards

and three touchdowns, and Ray-Ray McCloud, who to-

taled 60 yards and two touchdowns on four receptions.

Clemson finished with 555 yards offensively, and 92

Tigers saw playing time.

The Tigers started scoring with 11:33 left in the first

quarter on a seven-yard touchdown pass from Watson to

McCloud, and they did not look back from there. Later

in the quarter, the Bulldogs fumbled a Tiger kickoff in

the endzone and Denzel Johnson pounced on the ball

for his first career touchdown, upping the lead to 21-0

with 5:20 remaining in the first quarter.

GAME STATS

Nick Schuessler then added to the scoring with his

first career touchdown pass, a 45-yard connection with

freshman Diondre Overton. A 26-yard field goal from

Greg Huegel rounded out the first quarter, giving the

Tigers a 31-0 lead.

Second-quarter action picked up with a second touch-

down pass from Watson to McCloud, marking McCloud’s

first career game with multiple scores. One more touch-

down from Watson to Deon Cain later, and the Tiger took

a 45-0 lead into halftime. Clemson’s 45 first-half points

were the most scored in a first half since the Tigers’

matchup with Ball State in 2012, when Clemson also

scored 45 points.

With the third and fourth quarters shortened to 12 min-

utes each, the Tigers kept rolling. Bringing the Clemson

point total over 50 was Tavien Feaster, who scored his

first career touchdown midway through the third quarter.

Trevion Thompson also hauled in his first career touch-

down in the third quarter on a seven-yard strike from

Kelly Bryant. With Bryant’s scoring pass, Saturday’s game

marked the first time three Tiger quarterbacks threw a

touchdown pass in a game since Clemson’s win over

Presbyterian College in 2010.


GAME 4

ATLANTA — Clemson snapped a five-game road losing

streak in the series against Georgia Tech in a nationally

televised Thursday night contest, as the Tiger defense

was once again dominant against the Yellow Jackets’

triple option attack in a 26-7 victory at Bobby Dodd

Stadium. With the win, No. 3 Clemson moved to 4-0

on the season, 1-0 in the ACC. Tech fell to 3-1 overall,

0-1 in league play.

Brent Venables’ stingy unit allowed only 22 yards of

total offense in the opening half and 124 for the game.

Offensively, the Tigers were efficient in the opening half

behind the passing of Deshaun Watson, who was 32-48

for a season-high 304 yards and two touchdowns.

Clemson wasted no time in announcing its presence, as

the Tigers put together a perfect 75-yard drive that ended

with Mike Williams’ first receiving touchdown of the

season, a four-yarder from Watson. He marched Clemson

into scoring position on its next two drives as well, the

second of which ended with a Wayne Gallman one-yard

plunge for a touchdown and a 14-0 score after a quarter.

The Tigers put together a great scoring chance late in the

second quarter, but Watson was intercepted after a mis-

communication with his receiver. Georgia Tech returned

the ball two yards, but fumbled into the endzone and

the play resulted in a safety for the Tigers. Following the

free kick, Clemson took advantage by getting in Tech’s

redzone again. Watson threw a laser for a touchdown

to Jordan Leggett, his first score of the 2016 season.

The Tigers’ dominance was on display in the opening

half. Clemson ran 56 total plays, compared to just 21

for Tech. The Yellow Jackets were stuffed for only 22

total yards, most of which came on the final play before

halftime. Clemson owned a 325-yard advantage as well

in the first 30 minutes of play.

The Jackets finally reached the scoring column in the

fourth quarter, but Clemson answered with a career-long

tying 47-yard field goal from Greg Huegel to close out

the game’s scoring.


GAME 5

CLEMSON, S.C. - Marcus Edmond tackled James Quick

one yard shy of a first down at the three-yard line on fourth

down with 33 seconds left in the game, as No. 3 Clemson

held on for a thrilling 42-36 win over No. 3 Louisville at

Memorial Stadium on Oct. 1, 2016.

Led by quarterback Deshaun Watson, who was 20-31

passing for 306 yards and five touchdowns, the Tigers

(5-0, 2-0 ACC) came out on top of the back-and-forth

matchup featuring electrifying offensive displays from

both teams. Clemson also upped its home winning streak

to 19, the longest active streak in the nation.

“It was a great win,” said head coach Dabo Swinney.

“Louisville played their hearts out. We stuck it out in

the third quarter. We had the right plays.”

Defense was the story of the first quarter, as both teams

struggled to manufacture any substantial drives. Clem-

son’s pass rush was particularly effective and pressured

Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson throughout.

The Cardinals (4-1, 2-1 ACC) were the first to score, as

Jeremy Smith capped an 82-yard drive with a one-yard

touchdown run in the opening minute of the second

quarter.

The remainder of the quarter was practically all Clem-

son, however, with the Tigers outscoring the Cardinals

28-3. Deon Cain made a big splash during that stretch,

hauling in two touchdown receptions that covered 70

yards altogether.

Following a fumble by Louisville’s Brandon Radcliff,

which was the Cardinals’ third consecutive drive with a

turnover, Clemson struck again. Wayne Gallman, who to-

taled 110 yards on the ground, sprinted into the endzone

on a 24-yard run. Later in the quarter, Watson and Cain

connected to put the Tigers up 21-7. Cain finished with

four catches for 98 yards and two touchdowns.

The Cardinals added a field goal with under a minute to

play in the half, but the Tigers were able to answer with

a frenetic scoring drive in just 26 seconds. Advancing

73 yards in four plays, Clemson increased its lead to

28-10 on a five-yard touchdown pass from Watson to

Artavis Scott.

Louisville outscored Clemson 16-0 in the third quarter,

capitalizing on two Tiger turnovers. Following a Watson

interception, Jackson connected with James Quick for

an eight-yard touchdown.

A Louisville field goal on its next possession pulled it to

within nine points. After a Clemson fumble in Louisville

territory, Jackson drove the Cardinals 77 yards and

finished the drive off with a one-yard touchdown rush.

The Cardinals pushed their run to 26-0 by scoring the

first 10 points of the fourth quarter by way of a field

goal and an 11-yard Jackson scamper into the endzone.

In the wake of the score by Jackson, Scott provided the

Tigers with excellent field position via a 77-yard kickoff

return, then Watson found Mike Williams for a 20-yard

touchdown pass.

The Tigers regained the lead on their next possession,

as Watson finished off an 85-yard drive with a 31-yard

touchdown pass to Jordan Leggett, who also hauled in

a Watson pass for the succeeding two-point conversion.

Trailing 42-36 late in the game, the Cardinals marched

down the field. But after a crucial pre-snap penalty on

fourth-and-7, which made it fourth-and-12, Jackson

connected with Quick near the sideline. An alert Edmond

forced Quick out of bounds at the three, one yard shy

of a first down.
