CLEMSON ATHLETIC COMMUNICATIONS

Clemson and Alabama have two of the top football traditions in the South. Both have won National Championships and both programs have the most league titles in their respective conference histories. Clemson has won 15 ACC titles to tie Florida State for best in the ACC, while Alabama has 25 to lead SEC institutions. The two schools have met just once on the gridiron since 1975, and that was in the season opener in Atlanta in 2008.

Alabama has a 12-3 lead in the series that dates to a 35-0 Clemson victory in 1900. College football Hall of Fame Coach John Heisman was Clemson’s coach that day. Clemson won the first three games of the series, as the Tigers followed with shutout wins in 1904 and 1905. Alabama has won the last 12, so Clemson has not beaten Alabama since 1905. Alabama did not score on Clemson in the first three meetings, then Clemson did not score on Alabama in four consecutive games played between 1934-1966. Alabama won a battle of strong teams in 1935, as Clemson en-tered the game with a 5-1 record and the Crim-son Tide stood with a 5-1-1 mark. Alabama won the game played at Tuscaloosa, 33-0. The two schools met four consecutive years from 1966-69. It was a series arranged by good friends Frank Howard of Clemson and Bear Bryant of Alabama. Howard was a 1931 Alabama graduate who went to Clemson the fall after he graduated and never left until his death in 1996. Howard was a senior when Bryant was a freshman at Alabama.

They decided late in Howard’s career to have a four-game home-and-home series. Clemson went to Alabama in 1966 and 1968 and Alabama came to Clemson in 1967 and 1969. The 1969 season was Howard’s final year as head coach. The 1966 game was a contest between eventual conference champions. Ala-bama finished that season with an 11-0 record and won the SEC with a 6-0 conference mark. Clemson finished with a 6-4 record, but had a 6-1 record in the ACC. That year Clemson played ninth-ranked Georgia Tech, fourth-ranked Alabama and fifth-ranked Southern California, all on the road, as its non-conference

schedule. Bryant came to Clemson for the first time in 1967 and the two teams did not disap-point the sellout crowd or 49,500 at Clemson Memorial Stadium. The contest ended with a 13-10 Alabama victory. Ken Stabler hit on 9-15 passes for 135 yards, including four con-nections for 110 yards to All-American Denis Homan. Clemson was led by Buddy Gore, the ACC Player of the Year that season, who had 23-73 rushing. Total offense was as close as the score, 276 for Alabama and 275 for Clem-son. Clemson had the ball in Alabama ter-ritory twice in the last eight minutes, but could not get on the scoreboard. Clemson came close again in 1968, but an Alabama team that finished with an 8-3 record and top 15 national ranking, beat Clem-son at Tuscaloosa, 21-14. The following year, Clemson ran up and down the field, but lost, 38-13. Clemson had a 200-yard passer (Tom-my Kendrick), a 100-yard rusher (Ray Yauger) and a 100-yard receiver (Charlie Waters), yet lost the game by 25 points. After the game, then Alabama captain and future Clemson head coach Danny Ford presented Coach Bryant with a game ball that included a sticker with the No. 100 on it. (It was the 100th year of college football and teams wore a 100 logo, so all he had to do was take if off of his helmet.” The victory was Bryant’s 100th win at Alabama. Now current Head Coach Nick Saban goes for his 100th win at Alabama against Clemson. Alabama defeated Clemson in the Georgia Dome in the 2008 season opener, 34-10. Clemson was ranked eighth and Alabama was 24thentering the game, but Nick Saban’s team was outstanding. Alabama finished that year 12-2 and ranked sixth in the nation. The highlight of the game for Clemson was a 96-yard kickoff return for a touchdown by C.J. Spiller. A month and a half after this game, Alabama graduate Dabo Swinney was named Clemson interim head coach.

NATIONAL RANKINGS and became fulltime in 1991. He was on the staff when Alabama won the National champi-onship in 1992. Alabama had four seasons of at least 10 wins when he was there and went to six bowl games. Current Alabama assistants Burton Burns and Billy Napier were both coaches at Clemson. Burns was at Clemson under Tommy Bowden from 1999-06 and Napier was at Clemson from 2006-10. Napier was the offensive coordinator on Dabo Swinney’s first Clemson team when the Tigers won the Atlantic Division of the ACC and finished in the top 25 of both polls. Green Only Tiger from Alabama Clemson has just one player from Alabama on its roster, starting safety T.J. Green. Green is a native of Sylacauga, Ala. and Sylacauga High School. The junior has been outstanding all year and was Clemson’s top tackler in the Orange Bowl with 10 stops. For the season, Green has started all 14 games and has 117 tackles based on the coaches film. He has five tackles for loss, including a sack and has three passes broken up. He had 17 tackles in the win over South Carolina, the most tackles in a game by a Clem-son player this year.

Clemson to Play in Home of Arizona Cardinals In 1981 Clemson won the National Championship for the first time with a Jan. 1 1982 win over Nebraska. That year the NFL team with the most Clemson players was the San Francisco 49ers, a team that featured Dwight Clark, Jim Stuckey and Archie Reese. That 49ers team with the most former Tigers went on to win the Super Bowl, the first Super Bowl win for that organization. This year Clemson is 14-0 and will be playing for the national title against Alabama at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Ariz. It is the home of the Arizona Cardinals, the NFL team that has the most former Clem-son players on it in 2015. The Cardinals roster includes Andre Ellington, Chandler Catanzaro, Jaron Brown and Chris Clemons. The club also has Clemson graduates Brentson Buckner and Levon Kirkland as assistant coaches. Those six men will be rooting for the Tigers for sure in hopes of seeing their alma mater win, but also in hopes that history repeats itself and the 13-3 Cardinals win the Super Bowl. The Cardinals have a bye in the first round of the playoffs this weekend.

Clemson has Four Straight Bowl Wins Clemson has won four straight bowl games dating to the 2012 season. This is the first time Clemson has done that since the 1986-90 era when Clemson won five straight bowl games. What is special about this run is that Clemson has done it against teams ranked in the top 25 in each game. Clemson beat a #9 LSU team in the Chick-fil-A Bowl at the end of the 2012 season, 25-24. The next year Clemson downed a #7 Ohio State team in the Orange Bowl, 40-35. Then in 2014 the Tigers defeated #24 (USA Today poll) Oklahoma team 40-6. This year Clemson added a fourth straight victory with a 37-17 win over #4 Okla-homa in the Orange Bowl. Clemson is the only team in the

nation to have won a bowl game each of the last four years and all four have come against teams ranked in the top 15 in the history of college football in winning percentage. All four have also been against coaches who already had a national championship on their resume.

Clemson Winningest Team in the Nation For the first time since 1981, Clem-son leads the nation in total victories. Clemson is the only undefeated team with a 14-0 record and that was the case in 1981 when Clemson won the National Championship. The Tigers finished 12-0 that year, with a victory in the Orange Bowl against Nebraska. This year there were 29 teams with at least 10 wins, including eight who had at least 12 wins. Clemson led the way at 14-0, while Houston and Alabama are 13-1. Ohio State is finished with a 12-1 mark, while Iowa, Michigan State, Western Kentucky and Stanford were all 12-2. In 1981 there were only nine schools with at least 10 wins, led by Clemson’s 12-0 record. Pittsburgh finished 11-1 behind Dan Marino and BYU posted an 11-2 mark. Texas finished second in the polls that year with a 10-1-1 mark. SMU was on probation and finished 10-1. Penn State, Georgia, North Carolina and Washington all finished with 10-2 records.

Clemson’s First 1 vs. 2 Game When #1 Clemson faces #2 Alabama in the College Football Playoff Championship on January 11 it will be Clemson’s first appear-ance in a No. 1 vs. No. 2 game. This will be the first time this year there has been a No. 1 vs. No. 2 game, the first time since the cham-pionship game at the end of the 2013 season in fact when No. 1 Florida State defeated No. 2 Oregon. Overall this will be the 48th time No. 1 has faced No. 2. The No. 1 ranked team has a 26-19-2 lead in the previous 47 meetings of the top two teams in the AP poll. The last 12 games have been split 6-6. Alabama has won its last four meetings in a No. 1 vs. No. 2 matchup. This will be just the seventh time Clemson has entered a game with the No. 1 ranking according to the AP poll. Clemson is 5-0 this year including top 10 wins over No. 8 North Carolina in the ACC Championship game and No. 4 Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl. Clemson was 1-0 as the No. 1 team in 1981, a 22-15 win over No. 4 Nebraska. So Clemson is 6-0 all time as the No. 1 ranked team in the AP poll, including 3-0 vs. top 10 teams. Alabama is ranked second.

Clemson’s Three Winningest Coaches All Ala-bama Grads Each of the top three winningest coaches in Clemson history in terms of total victories are Alabama graduates. Frank How-ard, Alabama class of 1931, leads the way with a 165-118-12 record from 1940-69. Danny Ford, Alabama class of 1970, is second with a 96-29-4 record. Current Clemson Head Coach Dabo Swinney is already third in total wins with a 75-26 mark. Overall, five Alabama graduates have been among the 25 Clemson head football coaches over the years. The others are Hootie Ingram, a 1955 Alabama graduate, who was

CLEMSON vs. Alabama12-21 from 1970-72, and Charley Pell, a 1961 Alabama graduate, who was 18-4-1 in two seasons, 1977-78. Clemson has 703 wins in its history and 366 of them have been recorded by Alabama graduates, or 52 percent of Clemson’s wins. Not a bad percentage considering Alabama graduates constitute just 20 percent of the different coaches in Clemson history. The five Alabama graduates are a combined 366-198-17 at Clemson, a .645 winning percentage. The 20 Clemson coaches who did not go to Alabama are a combined 337-257-28 for a .564 winning percentage.

Clemson Has 56 Wins Last Five Years Clemson has a 56-11 record over the last five years, the most wins in any five-year period in Clemson history. Nationally, the Tigers are tied for fourth with Ohio State in the total victories category since 2011. Clemson’s opponent in the National Championship game, Ala-bama, leads the nation with 61 victories since 2011. The Crimson Tide sport a 61-7 mark the last five years. Perhaps it is fitting that Clemson and Alabama will face off for the National Championship. The Tigers and Tide are now the only teams in the nation to have at least 10 wins each of the last five years.

Fourteen Wins! With its win over Oklahoma, Clemson tied the FBS record for most wins in a season with 14. Clemson became the eighth school to win at least 14 games in a season. With the expanded playoff format, it has now been accomplished three consecutive years. Florida State did it with a 14-0 mark in 2013, Ohio State was 14-1 in 2014 and now Clemson is 14-0 in 2015. The 14-win mark was first reached in 1996 when BYU finished with a 14-1 record. The Cougars played an exempt game in Au-gust, played a game in Hawaii, which does not count towards maximum games played, and played in a bowl game in addition to the other 12 regular season games. If Clemson defeats Alabama it will become the first 15-win team in FBS history.

That means Clemson has been in the AP poll 91.4 percent of the time since the start of 2011, tied for the fifth most frequent appearance over that time. Alabama is first as the Crimson Tide have been in all 81 polls over that time, with an average ranking of 2.8. Clemson’s average

ranking over the last five years when it appears is 11.2. Only Alabama, Oklahoma, Florida State and LSU have been in the poll more often than Clemson over the last five years. Clemson is eighth in terms of the number of top 10 appearanc-es the last five years with 34 of 81 polls. Again Alabama leads the way with 79 top 10 rankings in the last 81 polls.

It will be the first time Clemson has played a football game at least two time zones from home since December 31, 2001 when the Tigers beat Louisiana Tech in the Humanitarian Bowl in Boise, Idaho. It snowed for the first half of that game, but Clemson came out the winner 49-24. Clemson has a 3-2 record in games played at least two time zones away. That includes a pair of victories in Tokyo, Japan, in 1982 against Wake Forest and in 1991 against Duke. Clemson’s first long trip took place in 1951 when the Tigers played at Pacific in Stockton, Calif. Pacific defeated Clemson 21-7 in a battle of top 20 teams. Clemson was No. 16 and Pacific No. 20 entering that game. Clemson has played in the state of Arizona in other sports in significant events. In 1980, Clemson defeated Lamar in an NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 game at the University of Arizona. That is the only time Clemson has advanced to the Elite Eight. Clemson then lost to UCLA in a game that was for the right to go to the Final Four. Clemson also played at Arizona State in an NCAA baseball Super regional in 2009.

Huegel Ties Spiller’s Scoring Record Clemson freshman kicker Greg Huegel, the first walk-on to earn All-America honors in Clemson history, made 3-4 field goals and scored 13 points in the Tigers win over Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl. He also had four touchbacks on kickoffs in his best all-around performance of the season. In the process, Huegel now has made 25-29 field goals this year and 53-58 extra points for 128 total points scored. At the start of the season it was unlikely that Huegel would even get in a game, never mind set some school records. But he has

2015 FOOTBALL NOTES 5

CLEMSON vs Alabamamade the most of his opportunity and his 25 field goals have established a school record and are just two shy of the ACC record for field goals in a season. The previous Clemson record for field goals was 24 by Jad Dean in 2005. Huegel’s 128 points have tied the Clemson overall scoring record for a season, a mark held by the legendary C.J. Spiller, who had 128 points in 2009.

Notes on Clemson’s 17-game Winning Streak Clemson has won 17 consecutive games, the longest streak in Clemson history and the longest active streak nationally. Alabama’s 11-game streak entering the national championship game is second. Clemson last suffered a loss on November 15, 2014 at Georgia Tech, a 28-6 defeat in Atlanta. Deshaun Watson started the game, but suffered a knee injury and played just 18 plays. Over Clemson’s 17-game winning streak the Tigers have out-scored the opposition 640-303, an average victory margin of 19.8 points per game. Clemson averages 37.65 points per game during the winning streak and gives up 17.8. That means the Orange Bowl win over Okla-homa, 37-17, was typical of what Clemson has done during the winning streak that includes five wins over Top 25 teams, including three ranked in the top 10.

In terms of total offense, Clemson has averaged 494 yards a game and given up 294, an average total offense margin of +200 yards per game. Clemson has averaged 277 yards passing and 217 yards rushing during that 17 game streak. The opposition has averaged 175 passing and 119 rushing. So, Clemson has nearly a 100-yard margin in both categories over the streak. Here are some other quick notes on the streak: •13 wins by at least double figures •Seven wins by at least 20 points •11 games with at least 500 yards total offense, including 10 in a row •Seven games with at least 300 yards passing •13 games with at least 200 yards rushing •9 games with at least 200 yards rushing and 200 yards pass-ing, including six of last seven. •Clemson has not trailed in the fourth quarter in any of the 17 games and been tied in just one game (FSU 2015).

Wilkins the Receiver Clemson is known as Wide Receiver U because of the number of former Tigers who have gone on to have success in the NFL. Five former Clemson receivers are on NFL rosters this year. Clemson defensive tackle Christian Wilkins now wants to be added to that heritage after he caught a 31-yard pass from punter Andy Teasdall in the first half of the 2015 Orange Bowl. In a play known as “UCONN” because Wilkins played high school football in that state at Suffield Academy, the 6-4, 315 pounder caught the pass from Teasdall and changed the momentum of the game. It is the first time a defensive lineman has caught a pass for Clemson. Faced with a fourth-and-four at the Oklahoma 44, Clemson Head Coach Dabo Swinney called for the play the team had worked on after practice every Wednesday during the 2015 season. Wilkins lined up in his customary blocking back position, but this time rolled to his left down the sideline. Teasdall hit him with the pass and he rumbled to the Oklahoma 13. Clemson scored two plays later to take a 10-7 lead and change the momentum of the game. Wilkins has had an outstanding season at his normal position. The true freshman has made two Freshman All-America squads and has been a big reason Clemson ranks sixth in the nation in total defense and fifth in tackles for loss per game. He has 75 tackles for the season based on coaches film evaluatoin, and has 12 quarterback pressures.

Dodd Had Great Orange Bowl Clemson had nine tackles for loss, including five sacks in the win over Oklahoma. Defensive end Kevin Dodd had 3.5 of those tackles for loss, including a nine-yard sack. He had four total tackles and was a big reason Oklahoma had just 67 yards rushing in 40 attempts. Dodd had to step to the forefront when Shaq Lawson, Clem-son’s other starting defense end was lost to an injury. As he has all season, Dodd played with great consistency and helped Clemson shut out the Sooners in the second half on the way to the 20-point victory.

Dodd now has 19 tackles for loss for the season, among the top 20 totals nationally. He will be one of the top returning defensive players in the ACC next season.

Boulware Outstanding Again in Bowl Action Ben Boulware has played on defense in two bowl games in his Clemson career and has an interception in each. He is the first Clemson linebacker to have an interception in consecutive bowl games. In 2014 the junior raced 47 yards for a touchdown win an interception against Oklahoma in the Russell Athletic Bowl. Then, in the 2015 Orange Bowl, Boulware was at it again with a fourth quarter one handed interception. It was a key play in Clemson’s 37-17 victory. After the game, Boulware was named the Defensive Player of the Game. He finished with eight tackles, a sack, a pass break up and that interception. For the year, Clemson’s starting linebacker has 127 tackles off the coaches film evaluation, second on the team. He has eight tackles for loss, including 3.5 sacks and has a team best 23 quarterback pres-sures. He has two interceptions and three takeaways.

Watson Sets ACC Total Offense Record Deshaun Watson broke the ACC record for total offense in a season in the Orange Bowl. He had 187 yards passing and 145 rushing for 332 yards total and now has 4731 for the season. The rushing yard-age total was an Orange Bowl record, breaking the 127 gained by Tajh Boyd for Clemson against Ohio State in 2013.

Watson broke the ACC total offense mark of 4600 yards set by Phillip Rivers of NC State in 2003. Watson also broke the Clemson total offense record in the win over Oklahoma. Tajh Boyd had that mark with 4410 yards in 2012, Boyd’s junior year. Watson has 3699 yards passing and 1032 rushing for his 4731 this year, an average of 338 yards per game. If Watson gets 301 passing yards against Alabama he will become the first player in FBS history with 4000 yards passing and 1000 yards rushing in a season. Watson was one of two ACC players with over 4000 yards total offense this year. North Carolina’s Marquise Williams had 4020 yards for North Carolina, the team that faced Clemson in the ACC Championship game. ACC Total Offense Season Bests Rk Player, School Cl.

Clemson Coaches with National Championship Rings Clemson has four coaches on its staff who have experienced a national championship. Head coach Dabo Swinney was a wide receiver on Alabama’s 1992 team that won the national championship. Three coaches have also experienced that feeling. Dan Brooks was a member of Tennessee’s staff in 1998 when they posted a 13-0 re-cord on the way to winning the national title. Defensive coordinator Brent Venables was a member of Oklahoma’s staff in 2000 when the Sooners won the title. And Danny Pearman was on Alabama’s 1992 staff when the Crimson Tide won the national title.

Clemson Only School With Winning Record vs. Notre Dame, Ohio State and Oklahoma Thanks to a recent run of four straight wins under Dabo Swin-ney in the last three years, Clemson is now the only FBS school with a winning record against Notre Dame, Ohio State and Oklahoma. Clemson is 2-1 against Notre Dame after its 24-22 win this year. The Tigers are now 3-2 against Oklahoma, including bowl wins each of the last two years, and 2-0 vs. Ohio State, including a 40-35 win in the 2014 Orange Bowl. Given a minimum of two games played, Notre Dame has a losing record against just six FBS schools (Clemson, Florida State, Michigan, Nebraska, Ohio State and Oregon State). Oklahoma also has

CLEMSON vs. Alabamaa losing mark against just six schools (BYU, Clemson, Miami, Northwest-ern, Notre Dame and Southern California). Ohio State has a losing mark against seven schools (Florida State, Alabama, Clemson, Florida, South Carolina, Stanford and Texas). Clemson is the only common denomina-tor. Clemson Has Three Top 10 Wins in 2015 Clemson has four wins over top 25 teams, including three wins over top 10 teams in 2015. Dabo Swinney’s team has tied the school record for wins of this nature in a season. Clemson has defeated a #6 Notre Dame, #17 Florida State, #8 North Carolina and #4 Oklahoma in running to a 14-0 record and No. 1 national ranking. The four total wins over top 25 teams ties the mark set by the 2011 team. The three wins over top 10 teams ties the mark set by the 1981 National Championship team, who beat a #4 Georgia, #8 North Carolina and #4 Nebraska to win the title. Clemson was the only team in the nation to beat three top 10 teams that year. Clemson Looking for College Football First Clemson has some outstanding victories this year, including triumphs over a then No. 6 Notre Dame team and a then No. 4 Oklahoma team in the Orange Bowl. Clemson is the first FBS school to defeat Notre Dame and Oklahoma in the same year since 2004 when Southern California downed both schools. Nebraska (2001) is the only other school to do it since 1994. How about if Clemson were to add Alabama to the list? That would make Clemson the first school in FBS history to defeat Notre Dame, Oklahoma and Alabama in the same year. All three schools are among the top five winningest programs in the history of college football on a percentage basis. Clemson already has wins over Florida State and Miami this year, two more top 15 programs in the history of the sport on a winning percentage basis.

Clemson Has Four Team National Championships Clemson has won four national championships in its sports program over the year. The list includes one for football (1981), two for men’s soccer (1984 and 1987) and one for men’s golf (2003). The football title came at the Orange Bowl against Nebraska at the end of the 1981 season, a 22-15 victory under Head Coach Danny Ford. That was the first title in any sport in school history. The 1984 soccer title was a 2-1 win over Indiana in the King-dome in Seattle, Washington. Three years later Clemson won the title with a 3-1 win over San Diego State. That year the soccer final four was awarded to a team in the final four and Clemson won the bid, so Clemson had the rare opportunity to win an NCAA title in its home facility. Clemson’s most recent title took place in 2003 when Clemson won the NCAA Men’s Golf championship at Oklahoma’s State’s home course in Stillwater, Okla. Clemson beat the home standing Cowboys by two shots. This is the second time Clemson has been in a national cham-pionship game this fall. The Clemson men’s soccer team reached the finals of the NCAA College Cup before falling to Stanford in the champi-onship match in early December.

Swinney Trying for Rare National Championship Double Clemson Head Coach Dabo Swinney has a chance to join Bud Wilkinson as the only coaches to have played on an AP National Champi-onship team and coached an AP National Championship team. Swinney played on Alabama’s 1992 season National Champi-onship team as a wide receiver. That team defeated Miami (FL) for the ti-tle in the 1993 Sugar Bowl. Now Swinney has a chance to lead Clemson to the national title as head coach. Wilkinson played as a quarterback on the University of Minnesota’s 1936 team that was proclaimed national champion by the Associated Press in 1936. That was the first year of the AP poll. As a head coach at Oklahoma, Wilkinson led the Sooners to AP national titles

in 1950, 1955 and 1956. Two other coaches have national championships as players and as coaches on their resume’s, but the titles are not recognized by the Associated Press. Frank Leahy played at Notre Dame under Knute Rockne from 1928-30 and the Irish won the national championship in 1929 and 1930 according to the Helms Foundation, the top poll in that area. The AP poll had not started yet. He later coached Notre Dame to AP national titles in 1943, 46, 47, 49. Bear Bryant played on an Alabama team in 1934 that was recognized as a national champion by some organizations, but again the AP poll hadn’t started yet. He coached Alabama to AP titles in 1961, 64, 65, 78, 79. Jimmy Johnson played on Arkansas’s 1964 team that was named national champion by the Football Writers Association, but they were second in the final AP poll that year.

Clemson’s National Championship Victory at 1982 Orange BowlClemson 22, Nebraska 15January 1, 1982 at Miami, FL After 86 years of playing football, Clemson claimed its first National Championship with a 22-15 win over perennial Big Eight power Nebraska in the 48th Orange Bowl on the first day of January in 1982.

After a 13-3 win over 1980 National Champion Georgia at home on September 19, the Tigers worked their way to the number-one ranking in both wire service polls by the end of the regular season when Penn State beat number-one ranked Pittsburgh on Thanksgiving Day, 48-14. The quarterback for Penn State that day was Todd Blackledge, who will broadcast the Clemson vs. Oklahoma game for ABC.

The win over the Cornhuskers gave Clemson the national title and its third perfect season in history. Nebraska took the kickoff, but three plays later, Tiger middle guard William Devane recovered quarterback Mark Mauer’s fumble at the Nebraska 33. Clemson Quarterback Homer Jordan drove Clemson to the Nebraska 24 before the drive stalled, and Donald Igwebuike drilled a 41-yard field goal to put the ACC Champions up, 3-0. Nebraska came right back, however, as the Big Eight title hold-er drove 69 yards in eight plays to score on a 25-yard halfback pass from Mike Rozier to Anthony Steels. Kevin Seibel’s extra point gave Nebraska the lead at 7-3 with 6:43 to go in the first quarter After an exchange of punts, the Clemson offense moved from the Nebraska 42 yard line to the 21 to set up Igwebuike’s second field goal. The 37-yard boot narrowed the score to 7-6. A second-quarter Phil Bates fumble gave Clemson the ball at the Nebraska 27, and the running combination of Jordan, Kevin Mack, and Cliff Austin moved the ball to the Cornhusker two. Austin, who had been stuck in the hotel elevator for two hours earlier in the day, scam-pered in for the score that gave Clemson a lead it would not relinquish. On its second possession of the second half, Clemson drove 75 yards in 12 plays to score its final touchdown of the night, a 13-yard pass from Jordan to All-American receiver Perry Tuttle in the corner of the end zone. It was Tuttle’s eighth touchdown grab of the season, which set a school record at the time. Bob Paulling’s extra point put the Tigers ahead, 19-7. Tuttle’s catch was shown on the cover of Sports Illustrated the following week, the first time a Clemson student-athlete (active at the time) was on the cover of Sports Illustrated.

(No Clemson athlete had been on the cover since then until this year. Deshaun Watson has been on twice.) After Billy Davis’s 47-yard punt return, Jordan moved the Tigers to the Nebraska 20, where Igwebuike kicked a 36-yard field goal, his third of the evening, to put Clemson ahead 22-7 with two-and-a half minutes left in the third stanza. Nebraska was down but not out. After a near-interception by Johnny Rembert, Mauer engineered an eight-play, 69-yard drive that was capped by a 26-yard run by Roger Craig. After a penalty, Craig ran in the two-point conversion from eight yards out to close the gap to 22-15 with nine minutes to play.

CLEMSON vs Alabama The Clemson defense shut down the Big Red on their final extended drive, then the offense held on to the ball for nearly five-and-a-half minutes to run down the clock to six seconds. Andy Headen deflect-ed Mauer’s desperation pass to preserve the win and the championship for Clemson. Jeff Davis (who is now an assistant AD at Clemson and will travel to Miami for this game) led the Tiger defense with 14 tackles in his final game. He also recovered a fumble, giving him a school-record eight for his career. Bill Smith, now on the Clemson Board of Trustees, added a career-high 10 tackles from his defensive end position in his final game as a Tiger. Both Davis and Smith have sons on the current Clemson team.

Watson Over 1,000 Yards Rushing Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson went over the 1,000-yard rushing mark in the win over Oklahoma when he had 145 yards. With 3,699 yards passing and 1,032 rushing yards he is just the third player in FBS history with at least 3500 yards passing and 1000 yards rushing in a season. The other two players to do it are Johnny Manziel of Texas A&M in 2012 and Dan LeFevour of Central Michigan in 2007. Obviously, Watson needs just 301 yards passing to become the first 4,000-yard passer and 1,000 yard rusher in the same season. Watson is just the second Clemson quarterback to gain 1000 yards on the ground in a season. Woody Dantzler did it twice, 1028 rushing yards in 2000, and 1061 rushing yards in 2001. In 2001 Dant-zler became the first quarterback to gain 2000 yards passing and 1000 rushing in the same season. Now Watson is trying to become the first 4,000/1,000 player Watson has had at least 100 yards rushing in five of the last six games and has averaged 107 yards per game on the ground over that time. He has tied Dantzler’s record for 100 yard rushing games in a season by a quarterback with five. Dantzler had five in 2001. Watson is also scoring on the ground. He has at least one rushing touchdown in each of the last five games and has a total of eight rushing touchdowns during that time.

Both of Clemson’s league titles under Dabo Swinney have taken place in Charlotte. Clemson now has 21 conference championships overall. The Tigers won the 1900, 1902 and 1903 SIAA Conference championship under John Heisman, then the 1906 SIAA title under Bob Williams, and won the 1940 and 1948 Southern Conference titles under Frank Howard.

Clemson vs. Ranked Teams in Bowl Games Clemson has a 14-11 record in bowl games against top 25 opponents. That includes wins over top 25 teams in each of the last four seasons. Clemson downed a seventh-ranked LSU team in the 2012 Chick-Fil-A Bowl, then defeated sixth-ranked Ohio State in the Orange Bowl at the end of the 2013 season. The Tigers defeated No. 24 (USA Today) Oklahoma in the 2014 Russell Athletic Bowl. Clemson stopped No. 4 Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl on December 31.

Clemson is the only school in the country to beat a top 25 team in a bowl game each of the last four years. In fact, Clemson is the only school in the country to win any bowl each of the last four years.

The highest ranked team Clemson has faced is LSU, who was number-one entering the 1959 (1958 season) Sugar Bowl, a game Clemson lost by just a 7-0 score. So, this Alabama team ranked No. 2 if the second highest ranked team Clemson has faced in the postseason.

Clemson defeated a fourth-ranked Nebraska team when it won the National Championship at the 1982 Orange Bowl and that is the highest ranked team Clemson has defeated in a bowl game. When Clemson defeated fourth ranked Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl it tied for the highest ranked team Clemson has beaten in a row.

Clemson also defeated a sixth-ranked Tennessee team in the 2003 Chick-Fil-A Bowl, and a seventh ranked TCU team at the 1959 Bluebonnet Bowl. Clemson is actually 6-2 against teams ranked sev-enth or higher in bowl games.

Clemson’sHighestRankedVictories Clemson will face a second-ranked Alabama in the National Championship Game on January 11. If Clemson gains the victory it would be the highest ranked team Clemson has defeated in its history. Clemson has played well against top ranked teams, especially recently. The Tigers already have three top 10 wins in the bank this year, over No. 6 Notre Dame, No. 8 North Carolina and No. 4 Oklahoma. Clemson defeated three top 10 teams in 1981. Over the years Clemson has 14 wins over teams ranked no. 8 or better by at least one of the polls. Dabo Swinney has eight of the 14 in his seven years as head coach.

Swinney Era at 101 Games The ACC Championship game was the 100th game for Dabo Swinney as Clemson’s head coach. He became the interim head coach on October 13, 2008 and was given the job without the interim title on December 1, 2008. Swinney had a 74-26 record for his first 100 games. When he defeated South Carolina he moved into third place on Clemson’s career coaching victories list. He moved ahead of his predecessor Tommy Bowden, who had 72 wins and 45 losses in his nine plus years as head coach. It is interesting to note that Swinney had a .740 winning percentage with his 74-26 mark at the 100-game mark. Danny Ford, the only Clemson coach to win a National Championship, was 72-24-4 for his first 100 games. That computes to a .740 winning percentage, the exact same as Swinney. Swinney is the fourth Clemson coach to lead the Tigers for at least 100 games. Frank Howard (295), Ford (129) and Bowden (117) are the others to do it. With the win over Oklahoma, Swinney is now 75-26 overall.

Clemson Second in Completion % Defense Clemson’s completion percentage defense ranks second in the nation this year and is the eighth best by any FBS team over the last eight years. Clemson has allowed 196 completions in 412 pass attempts for a .476 figure, second in the nation to Michigan’s .475 fgure this year. The best completion percentage defense the last eight years by any FBS team was turned in by the 2009 Alabama team that allowed just .468.

Lawson Finalist for Three Awards Clemson defensive end Shaq Lawson was a finalist for three major awards, the Nagurski Award, the Lombardi and the Hendricks. Lawson leads the nation in total tackles for loss with 23.5. Lawson is following in the footsteps of his predecessor, Vic Beasley, who was also a finalist for three awards last year. Beasley had 21.5 tackles for loss, including 12 sacks last year and was a first round draft choice of the Atlanta Falcons. Lawson has 23.5 tackles for loss, one more than Beasley, and has 10.5 sacks. He is trying to join William Perry (1984), Rob Bodine (1991) and Keith Adams (1999) as Clemson players who led the nation in tackles for loss.

Clemson Number-One in Every College Football Playoff Poll Clemson was ranked No. 1 in the nation in all three polls entering the bowl season. It was the fourth straight week Clemson was No. 1 in all four. Clemson was No. 1 in all six of the College Football Playoff polls this year, No. 1 by AP the last five weeks and No. 1 by USA Today the last four. Clemson began the year at No. 12 in the AP and USA Today Coaches polls.

Gallman Sets Single Season Rushing Record Wayne Gallman had 150 yards rushing in the win over Oklaho-ma and established a school record for rushing yards in a season. He enters the Alabama game with 1482 for the season, 147 more than the previous mark of 1,345 by Raymond Priester in 1996. Gallman has been on quite a run as he has had at least 100 yards rushing in three straight games. In wins over South Carolina, North Carolina and Oklahoma, Gallman has averaged 146.3 yards per game. It is the third time this year he has had a streak of three straight 100-yard rushing games. His nine 100-yard rushing games are a record for a single season. Gallman had 68 receiving yards in the win over North Carolina in the ACC Championship game, giving him 255 yards from scrimmage, the fourth best game in Clemson history. Terrence Flagler has the record with 274 yards from scrimmage at Wake Forest in 1986.

Clemson Ending Strong Season Clemson has already had a strong season with a 14-0 record. Now the Tigers are trying to finish strong. Clemson has already de-feated rival South Carolina, won the ACC title with a victory over North Carolina and won a bowl game.

This is the first time since 1988 that Clemson has done all three in the same year. That year Clemson beat South Carolina with a 29-10 win at Clemson, won the ACC title through its play in the regular season, then completed the triple with a Citrus Bowl win over Oklahoma. Ironically, Clemson completed those three goals this year with a win over Oklahoma in a bowl game.

Overall, Clemson has beaten South Carolina, won a confer-ence title and won a bowl game five times. Clemson won the Southern Conference in 1948, then won the ACC in 1959, 1978, 1981 and 1988.

Watson Heisman FinalistClemson sophomore quarterback Deshaun Watson was named

one of three finalists for the 2015 Heisman Trophy. Watson was joined at the ceremony in New York by Derrick Henry of Alabama, and Christian McCaffrey of Stanford.

Watson was Clemson’s first Heisman Finalist. Steve Fuller fin-ished sixth in the 1978 voting and C.J. Spiller was sixth in the 2009 voting, but neither received an invitation to New York. Those are the only Clemson players to finish in the top 10 of the Heisman voting since the award began in 1935.

Watson has quarterbacked Clemson to a perfect 14-0 record and No. 1 national ranking in the College Football Playoff poll, the AP Poll and the USA Today rankings. Clemson was ranked No. 1 in all six of the College Football Playoff polls. Clemson has four wins over teams that were in the final top 10 of the College Football Playoff rankings (Notre Dame, Florida State, North Carolina and Oklahoma), the only team in the country that can make that statement.

The native of Gainesville, Ga. was named a first-team All-Amer-ican by USA Today, He is the only player in the nation with at least 1,000 yards rushing and 3,500 yards passing. In fact he is the first player to do it since 2012 (Johnny Manziel of Texas A&M).

Watson has accounted for 43 touchdowns rushing and passing, fifth best in the nation and he ranks eighth in total offense per game. He has gained at least 300 total offense yards in each of his last seven games and has guided the Clemson offense to a record 10 straight games with at least 500 yards total offense.

Watson is a big reason Clemson has won 17 consecutive games, a school record, and has already established a season mark for victories (14), and ACC wins (nine). Clemson won the ACC Championship on December 5 with a 45-37 win over No. 8 North Carolina. Watson threw for 279 yards

and rushed for a then career high 131 in the victory. He broke that with 145 rushing yards in the Orange Bowl against Oklahoma, the most by a quarterback in the 82-game history of the bowl.

ClemsonBowlHistory Clemson has a rich bowl tradition and one of the reasons has been Clemson’s historical success against schools with legend-ary football traditions. The list of schools Clemson has beaten in bowl games includes seven of the top 15 winningest programs in the history of FBS Division football: Nebraska (4th), Ohio State (5th), Oklahoma (6th), Tennessee (8th), LSU (11th), Penn State (12th), and West Virginia (14th). The program has 20 bowl victories, the 17th highest total in FBS history.

Clemson’s greatest bowl experience to date was the National Championship clinching victory over Nebraska in the 1982 Orange Bowl. The Tigers ranked number-one in the nation entering that contest and faced a fourth-ranked Nebraska team and Coach 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 distinction. 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 coaches 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 Hatfield, Tommy West, Tommy Bowden and Dabo Swin-ney) have won bowl games for the Tigers. Overall, 10 of Clemson’s 20 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-victory club. Woody Hayes of Ohio State, Tom Osborne of Nebraska, Joe Paterno of Penn State, Don Nehlen of West Virginia are all coaches with at least 200 wins who lost bowl games to Clemson.

ClemsonHasNinthLongestBowlStreak Clemson has been to a bowl game every year since 2005, or a streak of 11 consecutive years. That is tied for the ninth longest streak in the nation. The streak began when Clemson beat Colorado in the Champs Sports Bowl.

The last year Clemson did not go to a bowl was 2004 and the Tigers were bowl eligible that year. So, Clemson has a streak of 17 consecutive years of bowl eligibility.

The ACC is well represented on the chart below. Florida State has the longest streak at 34 years, Virginia Tech is second at 23 years in a row. Clemson’s opponent in this game, Oklahoma is fourth on the list.

Swinney National Coach of the Year by Five Organizations So Far Clemson Head Coach Dabo Swinney was named the Home De-pot National Coach of the Year by ESPN and ABC and the National Coach of the Year by the Walter Camp Foundation on December 9-10. He was later announced as the recipient of the Munger Award as the top coach in the nation as presented by the Maxwell Football Club, Associated Press and the Sporting News. The AFCA National Coach of the Year will be announced after the bowl season.

Swinney has led Clemson to a perfect 14-0 season and No. 1 ranking in the College Football Playoff poll, the AP poll and the USA Today Poll. Clemson will face second ranked Alabama, Swinney’s alma mater, for the National Championship on January 11.

The 14-0 Tigers are the only undefeated team among the 128 FBS teams. Clemson won the ACC Championship last Saturday with a 45-37 win over North Carolina. Clemson has won 17 games in a row dating to last year, already a school record.

Clemson Has 10 Straight 500-Yard Total Offense Games Clemson has a school record nine consecutive games of at least 500 yards of total offense. The previous mark was five in a row set in 2012. That includes a pair of 600 yard games in the streak, 623 at NC State and 608 against North Carolina in the ACC Championship game. Over the last 10 games Clemson has averaged 555 yards per contest, 242 rushing and 312 passing. Clemson has had at least 200 yards passing and 200 yards rushing in six of its last seven games. Clemson has never lost a game in its history when rushing and throwing for at least 200 yards (75-0-1).

Watson Already High on Clemson Career Charts Clemson sophomore quarterback Deshaun Watson has played just 22 games for the Tigers, but is already ranked in the top 10 in Clemson history in 10 categories. That includes third in touchdown passes with 45 and third in touchdown responsibility with 62. He has 45 passing touch-downs and 17 rushing, including 12 this year. Watson currently holds the Clemson record for completion per-centage (.682), yards per pass attempt (8.89), total offense/game (290.5), interception avoidance (2.40%) and passing efficiency (163.57). He also has the single game record for touchdown passes with six against North Carolina in 2014. Watson now has 6,397 yards of total offense, fifth best in school history, and his passing yards (5,165) rank sixth. In the win over Oklahoma, Watson had 332 yards of total offense and moved ahead of Steve Fuller into fifth place on the all time list. Watson wears No. 4, Fuller’s number from 1975-78. It had been retired in Fuller’s honor in 1979, but Watson has been allowed to wear the number with Fuller’s blessing. He wears a Fuller patch on the jersey.

Has a team ever reached No. 1 ranked status with such inexperience in the lines? Clemson had one returning starter in the offensive line when the season started. That was two-year starter Ryan Norton at center, but he suffered a knee injury in the second game of the year and has played just 96 snaps all year in five games. A look to the chart below shows that the starting offensive line for the 2015 Tigers had a combined six starts entering the year. The defensive line also had six career starts entering the year. But, key reserves from previous years have stepped up when given the opportunity and as a result Clemson is ranked in the top 25 in the nation in total offense, total defense, scoring offense and scoring defense. Incredibly, eight of the nine made an All-ACC team this year.

Mac Lain is Winningest Clemson Player Clemson’s 2015 senior group became the winningest player in school history with the 33-13 win over Wake Forest in the final home game of the year. It was the 43rd win for that class in 50 games. Only one player has participated in all 53 games, Eric Mac Lain. He has started all 14 games at offensive guard this year and has become one of the leaders of the team. One of the most respected student leaders on campus, Mac Lain introduced Vice President Joe Bidin at a function on Clemson’s campus on November 10. With Mac Lain the only player to participate in every game over the last four years, he now has the title of winningest player in Clemson history. His now 46 victories rank first. Prior to this year, Adam Humphries, Robert Smith and Deshawn Williams had played in 42 victories.

Comparisons with 1981            With a 14-0 record and a No. 1 national ranking there are many comparisons between this Clemson team and the 1981 squad that won the National Championship. Here are a few, including some personal relationships.            •The defensive captain of Clemson’s 1981 team was Jeff Davis.  Davis currently works in the football administration and he has twin sons on the current Clemson team, Judah and J.D. Davis. Clemson won the last 13 games that Jeff Davis played in and now his freshman sons are 14-0 in 2015. That is a 27-game winning streak for the Davis family.            •Current Clemson starting offensive tackle Mitch Hyatt is the nephew of 1981 first-team All-ACC defensive tackle Dan Benish.            •Clemson defensive line coach Dan Brooks coached 1981 running back Kevin Mack in high school in Kings Mountain, N.C.            •Clemson freshman linebacker Jarvis Magwood is the son of 1981 wide receiver Frank Magwood.            •Clemson freshman tight end Cannon Smith is the son of 1981 starting defensive end Bill Smith, who is currently a member of the Clemson Board of Trustees.            •The dates for 10 of the 14 games this year coincide with the dates of the games in 1981.  Clemson opened the 1981 season on September 5 with a 45-10 win over Wofford. This year on September 5 Clemson opened the season with a 49-10 win over Wofford.            •Clemson beat Kentucky 21-3 on October 3, 1981.  The Tigers led Notre Dame 21-3 going in to the fourth quarter on October 3, 2015.            •Clemson recorded big wins on November 7 during each season.  Clemson won at eighth-ranked North Carolina, 10-8 on November 7, 1981.  This year, Clemson beat Florida State 23-13 on November 7.            •Clemson’s 1981 team was coached by Alabama native and University of Alabama graduate Danny Ford.  This Clemson team is coached by Alabama native and University of Alabama graduate Dabo Swinney.            •Deshaun Watson was on the cover of Sports Illustrated in the first week of November.  It was the first time a Clemson athlete was on the cover of S.I. since Perry Tuttle in 1981. Watson was on the cover a second time in early December. Clemson defensive end Shaq Lawson was on the cover of a Sports Illustrated College Football Playoff issue in December giving the program a third cover.            •The Clemson quarterback in 1981 was Athens, Ga. native Homer Jordan.  Gainesville, Ga. native Deshaun Watson is Clemson’s quarterback this year. The two Georgia cities are just 35 miles apart.            •Clemson defeated Miami 58-0 this year, the largest victory margin in an ACC game for the Clemson program since an 82-24 win over Wake Forest in 1981. •Clemson played an eighth ranked North Carolina team on December 5 for the ACC Championship. In 1981 Clemson played an eighth ranked UNC team on November 7 that was basically for the ACC title. Entering the game in 1981, North Carolina had just one loss and that was to South Carolina. This year North Carolina entered with just one loss, to South Carolina. Clemson won both games. •According to many Google APPs it is 1981 miles from Clemson Memorial Stadium to University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.

12 2015 FOOTBALL NOTES

CLEMSON vs. AlabamaClemson Records First 8-0 ACC Season Clemson finished the ACC season with an 8-0 regular season record. It is the first 8-0 ACC season in Clemson history. Clemson has been an undefeated ACC Champion four times, 1967, 1978, 1981 and 1982. All four of those years the Tigers were 6-0. In 1983, the first year Georgia Tech was in the league, Clemson was 7-0 vs. ACC teams, but the Tigers were on probation that year and could not claim a champi-onship. The ACC has had three 8-0 champions in the last five years, Virginia Tech in 2010 and Florida State in 2013 and 2014. But, every ACC Champion had at least one loss from 2001-09. Clemson is actually 9-0 vs. ACC teams this year as the Tigers defeated North Carolina in the ACC Championship game. Notes on Clemson Offensive Line

The Clemson offensive line has been one of the most over-achieving in the nation and is a big reason the Tigers are 14-0. All-five starters on this year’s offensive line were named to an All-ACC team by the media and the coaches (1,2 or 3), a first in Clemson history.

Clemson returned just one offensive line starter from 2014 and that was Ryan Norton. Norton sustained a knee injury in the second game of the year and has played just five games and 96 total snaps. So really Clemson really has played with five new starters in the offensive line this year.

The offensive line has been a big reason Clemson has had 11 games of at least 200 yards rushing, including wins over Louisville, Notre Dame, Georgia Tech, Florida State and Oklahoma. Clemson had 312 yards rushing against the Sooners. The biggest indicator that this line was something special was the win over Notre Dame when Clemson won the rushing battle, 202-116. Notre Dame’s offensive line was regarded as among the best in the nation entering the season.

In terms of individual honors, Clemson has had the ACC Offen-sive lineman of the Week five of the 12 regular season games this sea-son, more than any other school. Three different players, Jay Guillermo (three times), Joe Gore and Mitch Hyatt have been named ACC Offensive Lineman of the Week.

Guillermo won the award in consecutive weeks, the first Clem-son offensive lineman to do that since 2007 and just the fifth to do it since Player of the Week awards started in 1978.

Hyatt was the first ACC true freshman in 10 years to be ACC Offensive Lineman of the Week. He was the first Clemson true freshman to start at left tackle in season opener and for course of the season since 1944. Hyatt has played most plays by a true freshman offensive lineman in school history.

Guard Eric Mac Lain was on the preseason Watch List for Lombardi Award, was named preseason All-ACC, and Midseason All-ACC by Si.com. The Clemson offensive line was named one of the top 14 offensive lines in the nation for the second quarter of the season by the Joe Moore Award. The group was also one of 20 semifinalists for the national award.

Swinney Records 15th Top 25 Win Dabo Swinney is 15-16 against top 25 teams as Clemson head coach, including consecutive wins over top 10 teams North Carolina and Oklahoma. It was the fourth win over a top 20 team this year. Earlier Clemson defeated a sixth ranked Notre Dame team, 24-22 and beat No. 17 Florida State 23-13 at Clemson. FSU has since jumped into the top 10. The Oklahoma victory was Swinney’s 15th against a top 25 team and he is now in second place in Clemson history in career top 25 wins.. Tommy Bowden had 13 wins during his career from 1999-2008. He was 13-23 against top 25 teams. Danny Ford has the record with 20 wins over top 25 teams in his Clemson coaching career from 1978-89. Ford was 20-12-1 against top 25 teams in his Clemson coaching career.

Clemson Defense Among Nation’s Best Clemson had to replace eight starters from last year, but it has not stopped the Tigers from having a great season. Brent Venables’s group ranks among the best in the nation in many categories. Clemson ranks in the top 25 in 11 categories.

He has five 100-yard rushing games, tied for the most by a quarterback in Clemson history. Dantzler had 1061 yrads rushing as a senior in 2001, but he did it in just 12 games. But, Watson will tel you he reached 1032 yards in just 187 rushes, 35 less than Dantzler had.

Leggett Records Fourth 100-yard Game by a TE Jordan Leggett had a career high six receptions for 101 yards in the win over Florida State. He became just the fourth Clemson tight end to have at least 100 yards receiving in a game. The Clemson record for a tight end was recorded against The Citadel by John McMakin in 1970 when he had 5-107 receiving. So Leggett was just six yards short of the record. Leggett was named one of three finalists for the Mackey Award on November 23. While a tight end has had 100 yards receiving just four times, three of the instances have taken place under Dabo Swinney. Michael Palmer did it at South Carolina in 2009 and Brandon Ford did it against NC State in 2012. For the season, Leggett also has seven touchdown receptions. He is just one touchdown reception short of the season record for a tight end. Dwayne Allen had eight in 2011 and Brandon Ford had eight in 2012. Leggett, a junior, has 10 career touchdown receptions, two short of the Clemson career record of 12 held by McMakin from 1969-71, Allen from 2009-11 and Ford, 2009-12. Leggett does have one record on his resume this year. He went five consecutive games with at least one touchdown catch to set a Clem-son record for consecutive games with a touchdown catch by a Clemson tight end. 100-Yard Receiving Games by Clemson Tight End Player Year Opponent Rec-Yds John McMakin 1970 The Citadel 5-107 Michael Palmer 2009 South Carolina 8-106 Jordan Leggett 2015 Florida State 6-101 Brandon Ford 2012 NC State 5-101 Huegel Perfect in ACC Play Clemson kicker Greg Huegel was perfect on field goals in ACC play, 17-17 and is 25-29 overall. Not bad for a freshman walk-on. Hue-gel made the most field goals without a miss in conference play in the country this year. He is also 14-16 on field goals on the road. Huegel was outstanding against Florida State as he made 3-3

He was also 3-3 against Syr-acuse and made 16 in a row to close the regular season. The streak was snapped when he missed from 47 yards out in the ACC Championship game. It was the second longest streak in Clemson history The record is 20 in a row by Chandler Catanzaro over the 2011 and 2012 seasons. Goodson and Hyatt Named ACC Players of the Week vs. Florida State

Clemson offensive lineman Mitch Hyatt and linebacker B.J. Goodson both earned ACC Player of the Week honors for their perfor-mance against Florida State. Hyatt was named the ACC Offensive Line-man of the Week and Goodson won the Linebacker of the Week honors.

It marked the fourth time this year that a Clemson offensive lineman had been named ACC Lineman of the Week. Jay Guillermo won the honor twice and Joe Gore was the recipient for the win over N.C State.

Hyatt’s selection was special because he became the first Clemson true freshman to win ACC Offensive Lineman of the Week hon-ors. He was the first true freshman at any ACC school to win Lineman of the Week honors in at least 10 years. Wyatt graded 93 percent and had four knockdown blocks in 85 plays against the Seminoles.

Goodson won Linebacker of the Week honors for the second time this year. He also won the honor for his performance against Notre Dame on October 3. In both games he recovered a fumble in the fourth period. He had nine tackles, including 3.5 for loss against Florida State.

Deshaun Watson has been named ACC Back of the Week four times this year. He completed 23-30 passes for 383 yards and five touchdowns in Clemson’s 56-41 win over NC State. He also added 54 yards rushing in 14 attempts and a touchdown. He finished the day with 437 yards of total offense and six touchdowns. The six total touchdowns tied for the second most in a game in Clemson history. Watson was also named the National Offensive Player of the Week by the Walter Camp Foundation for his efforts against NC State.

An example is the fact that Clemson is ranked in the top 25 in the nation on offense and defense in eight different areas. Clemson is in the top 25 in the nation in scoring offense and scoring defense, rushing offense and rushing defense, total offense and total defense, passing effi-ciency offense and passing efficiency defense and third-down conversion offense and defense.

Clemson Offense Far Above Average vs. Opponents Clemson averages 512 yards of total offense per game this year, 11th in the nation. The Tigers have reached these numbers against a schedule that includes five of the top 20 (total) defenses in the nation. In Clemson’s 13 games against FBS opponents the Tigers have gained 510 yard per game, 147 yards per game above what those teams have averaged so far this season. Clemson had 512 yards against Florida State and the Sem-

inoles give up 328 a game. Boston College leads the nation in total defense. Clemson got 532 against the Eagles, 278 over their season average. Clemson gained 623 against NC State, 291 over their season average. So far this year only Notre Dame has been able to hold Clem-son under what they normally give up per game. As you can see by the list below, Clemson has 10 consecutive games with at least 500 yards total offense, a first in school history.

Watson National Player of the Week by Three Organizations Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson had another sterling afternoon in the victory over NC State. The sophomore quarterback com-pleted 23-30 passes for 383 yards and five touchdowns. He also ran the ball 14 times for 54 net yards and a touchdown. For his performance, Watson was named the National Offensive Player of the Week by the Walter Camp Foundation and the Maxwell Award, and was named the Capital One Impact Performance Award by ESPN. Watson is the first Clemson player to be honored with all three awards in the same week. Watson accounted for six touchdowns in the win over NC State, five touchdown passes and one rushing score. It marked the third time a Clemson quarterback accounted for at least six touchdowns in a game against NC State. Woody Dantzler had four passing and two rushing in 2001 in a Clemson victory, then Tajh Boyd had eight touchdowns, five passing and three rushing, in a 2012 win over the Wolfpack. In the win over Syracuse, Watson was named National Offen-sive Player of the Week by the Football Writers Association.

Watson Third in Nation in QBR Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson is fourth in the nation in Quarterback Rating with an 86.8 figure according to ESPN’s formula for calculating the statistic. Watson’s 98.9 rating at Miami on October 24 was the best in the nation this year by a quarterback from a Power Five Conference school against another Power Five Conference school. Watson also ranks in the top 25 in many other more conven-tional NCAA statistics, including fourth in completion percentage with a .682 mark, on pace to be the best in Clemson history.

Clemson has outscored the opposition 151-63 in the first quarter and 172-60 in the second period this year. Those numbers were certainly enhanced at Miami where Clemson outscored the Hurricanes 21-0 in each of the first two periods. Clemson’s 42-0 lead at intermission was the largest in school history for an ACC game. The previous mark was a 41-0 lead on Duke at the half in 1984.

14 2015 FOOTBALL NOTES

CLEMSON vs. Alabama Clemson has outscored the opposition 323-123 by halftime, exactly 200 points over the course of the season. Clemson has trailed in the second half of just three games, for one possession in the third period at Louisville, in the second half against Florida State and for one pos-session in the third period against Oklahoma.. Clemson has not trailed in the fourth quarter in any of the last 17 games, obviously Clemson’s 17-game winning streak. Noteworthy Team Accomplishments in Clemson’s 58-0 Win at Miami •Tied Clemson record for victory margin in an ACC game. Clemson also had a 58-point win over Wake Forest in 1981, an 82-24 victory. •Set Clemson record for victory margin in an ACC road game with 58-0 victory. •Largest victory margin in any road game since a 94-0 win at Furman on September 25, 1915, just a little over 100 years ago. •First Clemson shutout in a road game since a 17-0 win at Maryland in 1995. •Handed Miami its largest margin of defeat in 90 years of football. Previous record was 56 points in a 70-14 loss in 1944 to Texas A&M. Clemson’s victory margin ironically equaled the NCAA record con-secutive home wins Miami recorded between 1985-94. •Clemson recorded 33 first downs, tied for the second most ever against a Miami football team. •Clemson defense forced 10 three-and-outs, held Miami to 93 yards passing, 53 yards rushing and 146 yards of total offense. Clemson held Miami to 2.9 yards per pass attempt and 1.8 yards per rush. Clemson Finished Perfect October When Clemson defeated NC State in Raleigh on Halloween it gave Clemson a perfect 5-0 record for the month of October. It is the first time since September of 2000 that Clemson has had a 5-0 month. The other times it has happened are October of 1977 and October of 1981. Clemson was 4-0 in November. This was the first time since 1983 that Clemson was perfect in October and November in the same year.

Guillermo Three-Time ACC Offensive Lineman of the WeekClemson center Jay Guillermo was named ACC Offensive

Lineman of the Week for consecutive weeks in October, wins over Georgia Tech and Boston College.

Guillermo graded 88 percent on 78 plays and had three knockdown blocks in Clemson’s 34-17 win over Georgia Tech on October 10. He was Clemson’s highest graded offensive lineman according to the Tigers coaches for the second straight week.

He was a significant reason Clemson gained 532 yards of total offense against a Boston College team that was number-one in the nation in total defense allowing just 140 yards a game.

Guillermo was honored for a second straight week on October 17 when the Tigers defeated Boston College. Guillermo became the first Clemson offensive lineman to be named ACC Offensive Lineman of the Week for consecutive games since Barry Richardson did it against Maryland and Duke in 2007. The only other offensive linemen to win the honor in consecutive games are Lee Nanney (1980), John Phillips (1987), and Stacy Long (1989 and 1990).

He won his third award for his performance against South Carolina when he graded 93 percent.

Alexander Thorpe Award Semifinalist Clemson cornerback McKensie Alexander was named named one of 16 semifinalists for the Jim Thorpe Award in late October. The honor is presented each year to the top defensive back in the nation. Alexander is one of two sophomores on the list, and is joined in that category by Shawun Lurry of Northern Illinois. Other ACC players in the final 16 are Jeremy Cash of Duke and Jalen Ramsey of Florida State.

Alexander is one of the reasons Clemson ranks first in the

nation in completion percentage defense (.464). Alexander has not been a player opposing offensive coordi-

nators have challenged over his 26 games as a starter. Last year, as a redshirt freshman, opposing quarterbacks completed just 20 passes in 57 attempts for 280 yards and two touchdowns against the man he was assigned to on defense. He was on the field for 766 plays, so opposing quarterbacks threw his way just once every 13 plays, or just 4.4 times a game. They completed a pass on his man just once every 38 plays he was on the field. So far in 2015, opponents are avoiding him even more. In 13 games he has played, opponents have completed just 12 passes in 47 attempts against Alexander’s man. He has not allowed a touchdown pass in his last 22 games over two years. Going head to head with Notre Dame’s Will Fuller, Alexander allowed the Notre Dame star to catch just one pass for 14 yards when he was guarding Fuller. Fuller had a 23-yard reception when Alexander was not involved in the play. Fuller’s two receptions against Clemson are his low total for his last 22 games. Clemson and Wake Forest were the only opponents to keep Fuller out of the endzone this year.

Clemson Ranked First with Young Team Clemson is ranked first in the AP poll despite having played the fifth most freshmen in the country so far this year. According to the University of Wyoming Sports Information Office, Clemson has played 28 freshmen this year, 14 true and 14 redshirt, and that is the fifth most in the nation.

Clemson Has Trailed for just 81:28 so Far this season Clemson has trailed for just 81 minutes and 28 seconds out of 840 minutes played through the first 14 games of 2015. That means Clemson has been behind just 10 percent of the time so far this year.

Clemson trailed 10-7 for 3:38 of the second quarter against Louisville and for just 2:48 at 7-0 in the first quarter against Boston College. In both situations Clemson scored on the next possession after the opposition took the lead. The Eagles were the first team to score first against Clemson this year.

The sophomore from Gainesville, Ga. connected on 27-41 passes for 420 yards and three scores. Watson had 435 yards passing in his first career start last year against North Carolina. He also threw for a Clemson record six touchdowns in that game. Watson’s 420-yard game against Boston College was just the sixth in school history. Tajh Boyd has the record with 455 passing yards at Syracuse in 2013. Boyd also had 428 at Wake Forest and 426 at home against NC State. The only other 400-yard game was by Charlie Whitehurst at Duke in 2002. Ironically, like Watson, Whitehurst’s perfor-mance was in his first career start as a freshman. Watson had 452 yards of total offense against Boston College, the eighth game of at least 450 yards by a player in Clemson history. He then had a career high 473 yards of total offense at Syracuse. Watson now has three of the nine total offense games in Clemson history. Boyd had four games with at least 450 yards total offense.He added 383 yards passing and 54 rushing for 437 yards of total offense in the win at Miami giving him consecutive 400 yard total offense games.

Clemson Defense Holds Georgia Tech to 71 Yards Rushing Clemson’s defense held Georgia Tech to just 71 yards rushing in the Tigers 43-24 win over the Yellow Jackets. It was the fewest rush-ing yards for a Paul Johnson coached Georgia Tech team. The previous low was 79 yards rushing by the Yellow Jackets against Gardner-Webb in 2008, his first year as Georgia Tech head coach. As far as his coaching career is concerned it was the second fewest rushing yards for a Paul Johnson coached team. His 2002 Navy team had just 39 rushing yards in a loss to UCONN. Georgia Tech gained those 71 yards on the ground in 42 attempts, an average of 1.7 yards per rush, also the lowest average in the Paul Johnson era at Georgia Tech. Tech was sixth in the nation averag-ing 311 rushing yards per game entering the contest. Clemson held the Yellow Jackets to just 12 first downs (includ-ing just six rushing), 1-12 on third down conversions. Clemson had 11 tackles for loss for -51 yards and allowed Georgia Tech to gain just 230 yards for the day on 56 plays. Clemson controlled the clock for 11:24 of the final quarter. Swinney Has Beaten Seven of other Winningest Active FBS Coaches According to data on Sports-Reference.com, there are 11 active coaches with at least five full years of experience at the FBS level with a winning percentage of at least 70 percent. Dabo Swinney is one of the 11 with a .743 winning percentage, seventh best in the nation among active coaches with at least five years in the FBS. It is interesting to note that since 2011, Swinney has beaten seven of the other 10 on the list with at least a 70 percent winning per-centage. Brian Kelly of Notre Dame became the seventh different coach when Clemson defeated Notre Dame on October 3 by a 24-22 score at Clemson. He has beaten Bob Stoops, ranked fourth, each of the last two years. A look to the list below shows that Swinney has beaten Urban Meyer of Ohio State (2013), Jimbo Fisher of Florida State (2011, 2015), Bob Stoops of Oklahoma (2014 and 2015), Mark Richt of Georgia (2013), Les Miles of LSU (2012), Bobby Petrino of Louisville (2014 and 2015) and Brian Kelly of Notre Dame (2015).

16 2015 FOOTBALL NOTES

CLEMSON vs. AlabamaWatson 18-1 as a Starter Clemson sophomore quarterback Deshaun Watson is now 87-1 as the starting quarterback for the Tigers. He was 4-1 last year and is 14-0 so far in 2015. His only loss took place at Georgia Tech last year when he played just the first 18 plays of the game, then had to leave due to a knee injury.Watson is the first quarterback in Clemson history to go 18-1 as the starter to open his career. Given that Watson left the 2014 Georgia Tech game in Atlanta due to injury, Clemson has never lost a game that he has started and finished in a healthy state (17-0).

Goodson Equals Kinard Feat Clemson senior linebacker B.J. Goodson had his first career interception and his fourth career fumble recovery in the fourth period of Clemson’s 24-22 win over Notre Dame on October 3. Goodson ranked 10th in the nation in fumble recoveries last year, so he has a nose for the ball. Incredible as it may seem, Goodson became the first Clemson defender to have two takeaways (interceptions plus fumble recoveries) in the fourth quarter of a Tigers victory by seven points or less since 1979. The last player to do it was Terry Kinard in Clemson’s 16-10 win at Notre Dame that year. So it has happened in each of the last two Clemson vs. Notre Dame games, and not once in the 36 years in between. Goodson started six games last year on Clemson’s No. 1 ranked defense. The native of Lamar, S.C. (home of former Clemson great Levon Kirkland), is Clemson’s top tackler this year and has already has more tackles this year than he had all last season. One other note of interest on the score. The last time Clemson won a game by a 24-22 score was at Maryland in 1982. In that game, Reggie Pleasant duplicated Goodson’s defensive effort in that he had a fumble recovery and an interception. He just didn’t do both in the fourth period. Pleasant is now back at Clemson as a team advisor and saw Goodson’s performance in person. Goodson is first in tackles in the Clemson team according to the coaches film grades with 142.

Swinney Named Dodd National Coach of Week for Win over Notre Dame Oficials from the Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Foundation and Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl announced on October 5 that Clemson Head Coach Dabo Swinney had been named the Dodd Trophy Coach of the Week for games the weekend of October 3. The Dodd Coach of the Week Award honors the football coach whose program embodies the award’s three pillars of scholarship, leadership and integrity, while also having success on the playing field during the academic year. Swinney led the Tigers to a 24-22 win over sixth-ranked Notre Dame that day. Since Coach Swinney has been at the helm, Clemson has achieved success in both the classroom as well as on the field. In 2014, the team registered an Academic Progress Rating (APR) score of 984 out of a possible 1,000, which ranked eighth in the country. On top of that, Clemson student-athletes had the fifth-best graduation success rate na-tionally. From 2011-2014, Clemson finished in the top-10 of APR scores and the final AP Top 25 polls—the only FBS program that can make that claim.

Biggest Play with No Credit in Clemson History? When Clemson’s defense stopped Notre Dame quarterback DeShone Kiser on a two-point conversion play with just seven seconds left, it basically gave Clemson a 24-22 win. That play will go down in Clemson history as one of the top plays. When watching video of the play, it is apparent that junior de-fensive tackle Carlos Watkins took on two Notre Dame offensive linemen and still made the tackle at the one-yard-line, prohibiting Notre Dame from tying the game and sending it into overtime. Officially, Watkins does not receive a tackle on the play. NCAA statistical rules only give credit to the scorer on an extra point play and no defensive statistics are credited. Still, we feel Watkins play, although not on the stat sheet, will be remembered for a long time in Clemson history.

Big Week for Clemson Co-Coordinators This is a big time period for Clemson offensive coordinators Jeff Scott and Tony Elliott. The former Clemson teammates (1999-02) took over running the Clemson offense in co-coordinator rolls when Chad Morris became the head coach at SMU. They are undefeated as coordinators as they took over for the Oklahoma game in the Russell Athletic Bowl, a 40-6 Clemson win. The

Tigers are 13-0 so far this year for a 14-0 overall record since they took over the offense. Clemson had 43 points and 537 yards in the win over Georgia Tech and followed that with 34 points and 532 yards against Boston College, who entered the game ranked first in the nation in total defense. They added 58 points and 567 yards in the win at Miami. Both men have something else in common. Their wives are in the process of having children just a couple of weeks apart. On Thursday, September 24, 2015, Savannah Jennings Scott was born at 3:14 p.m. in Greenville, S.C. She was 7 pounds, 9 ounces. It is the first child for the Scott family. Elliott and his wife Tamika had their second child on the Wednesday after the Georgia Tech game (October 14). His name is Ace Elliott. Watson Passes Fuller on TD Pass Chart Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson wears the number-four, the same number All-American Steve Fuller wore at Clemson from 1975-78. Fuller’s number-four was retired at the Spring Game of 1979. But, that was also Watson’s number in high school. Watson asked permission from Fuller to wear the number and he agreed. Head Coach Dabo Swinney thought it would be appropriate to put a patch on Watson’s jersey to commemorate Fuller’s career. So Watson proudly wears the patch on the front of his jersey. In the win over Notre Dame, Watson threw two touchdown passes, the 22nd and 23rd of his career to pass Fuller on the Clemson ca-reer touchdown list. Fuller threw for 22 scores in his career when college football was in a more run oriented era. Fuller also ran for 22 scores in his career. Fuller was in the stands for the Notre Dame game. He was Clemson’s quarterback the only other time the Irish came to Clemson in 1977. Watson has 31 touchdown passes this year, and 45 for his career, third in Clemson history.

Swinney 9-4 vs. Top 10 Teams Clemson has defeated a top 10 team in each of its last two games and has three wins over top 10s this year. Dabo Swinney and the Tigers get another chance against No. 2 Alabama. Swinney is now 9-4 against top 10 teams at Clemson. It is interesting to note that Swinney has not built up this record at home. Only two of the nine wins over a top 10 team have come at home. Five have been at neutral sites and two in opponent home stadiums.

Seven Career Interceptions for Kearse Clemson junior safety Jayron Kearse had his first interception of the year against Appalachian State. It was the first of three intercep-tions in the second period of that game, a big reason Clemson went on a 28-0 run in the second period. He added a caused fumble in the fourth period at the two-yard line against Notre Dame as he jarred the balll loose from Irish wide receiver Chris Brown. Kearse has been a big play performer since he came to Clem-

2015 FOOTBALL NOTES 17

CLEMSON vs Alabamason for the 2013 season. He already has seven career interceptions. Kearse also has a recovered fumble in his Clemson career, giving him eight career takeaways, most among active Clemson players. Kearse had three tackles for loss in the win over Georgia Tech to tie a Clemson record for a defensive back. He has 84 tackles for the year off the coaches film, including 6.5 tackles for loss. He was a first team All-ACC selection by the ACC Coaches and second team All-Ameri-can by Associated Press.

Watkins Scores First Touchdown Clemson defensive tackle Carlos Watkins made like another recent Clemson player named Watkins (Sammy, no relation) and scored a touchdown in the victory over Appalachian State on September 12. Watkins realized a defensive lineman’s dream by intercepting a Taylor Lamb pass and running 15 yards for a score. The play changed the momentum of the game. Clemson held a 3-0 lead at the time in the second period, but Watkins touchdown sparked the offense and Clemson went on a 28-0 run in the 2nd quarter to take a 31-0 halftime lead. Watkins was the first Clemson defensive lineman to return an interception for a touchdown since Kourtnei Brown returned one 20 yards for a score against North Carolina in 2011. The last defensive tackle to do it was Jock McKissic, who ran 82 yards for a score against South Carolina in 2006. Scoring was nothing new for Watkins who said he played some offense as a senior in high school and scored on a couple of runs. He also had two defensive touchdowns in his high school career. Brent Venables became Clemson defensive coordinator prior to the 2012 season and Clemson has 11 defensive touchdowns over those three seasons plus two games. All but one of them have come in Memorial Stadium and none have come on an opponent’s home field. Last year Ben Boulware had a pick six against Oklahoma in the Russell Athletic Bowl in Orlando. The last Clemson player to score a defensive touchdown on the road was Rashard Hall, who had a 52-yard interception return for a score at Boston College in 2010. Hall is now a graduate assistant in Vickery Hall, Clemson’s student-athlete learning center.

Williams Has Small Fracture in NeckClemson junior wide receiver Mike Williams sustained a small

fracture in his neck during the Tigers 49-10 victory over Wofford. “We received the results from the MRI and he has a small frac-

ture,” said Swinney. “Mike is doing well, he can walk and will be at class Monday. He will wear a brace and will be reevaluated again in about six weeks. I can’t say how long he will be out. He might not be able to play the rest of this year. We will just have to see how it heals.

“We are very thankful that the overall prognosis is good that he will be able to play again at some point. I can’t say enough about our medi-cal staff. They did a great job through the entire process.”

Williams was injured in the first quarter while making a four-yard touchdown catch on a pass from Deshaun Watson in the East end zone of Memorial Stadium. After making the reception near the end line he crashed into the padded goal post and went to the ground.

The native of Vance, S.C. and Lake Marion High School led Clem-son in receiving yardage last year with 1,030 yards on 57 receptions and six touchdowns. He ranked seventh in the nation in yards per reception (18.1), given a minimum of 50 receptions. He was a preseason first-team All-ACC selection by the Atlantic Coast Conference Media.

Williams had 9-112 receiving and a score against Oklahoma in the bowl game last year. Swinney said Williams has told him he will return for next season, his senior year. His brace is now off, but he will not play in the postseason.

Hyatt Sets Record for Plays by True Freshman OL Mitch Hyatt started at left tackle in Clemson’s 49-10 win over Wofford. It was a landmark start for the true freshman from Sugar Hill, Ga. Hyatt, who was a first-team Parade All-American and USA Today All-American coming out of North Gwinnett High School, became the first Clemson true freshman offensive tackle to start the season opener since 1944 when Phil Prince started the opener against Presbyterian. Hyatt had a 92 percent grade from assistant coach Robbie Caldwell, and helped Clemson jump out to a 35-7 lead at intermission. He was one of the starting 11 that played six possessions and scored six touchdowns. He continued his fine play at Louisville and was Clemson›s ACC Rookie of the Week nomination for that game off a 90 percent coaches film grade. Hyatt was just the third true freshman to start the opening game of the

year since Dabo Swinney took over on a full time basis in 2009. The others were Chandler Catanzaro (2010, PK) and Adam Humphries (2011, WR). Hyatt was the first true freshman to start any position on the offensive line in the first game since 1980 when James Farr started the season opener at center against Rice. He was the ACC Offensive Lineman of the Week for the win over Florida State, the first Clemson true freshman to win the award and the first ACC true freshman to win it in at least 10 years. Hyatt comes from good stock. His uncle, Dan Benish, played for the Tigers as a defensive tackle from 1979-82 and was first-team All-ACC in 1981 when Clemson won the National title. He also earned a Super Bowl Champion-ship ring with the Washington Redskins in 1987. Hyatt has played 965 snaps through 14 games, the most offensive plays by a Clemson true freshman offensive lineman in a season. He broke the record of 471 that had been held by Barry Richardson in 2004. On November 30 he was named third team all-ACC, the first Clem-son true freshman lineman to make an All-ACC team. He has also been named to every Freshman All-America team released so far.

That year the U.S. Government drafted Clemson’s entire junior and senior classes, so Frank Howard’s team was made up of entirely freshmen and sophomore. (Clemson was a military school at the time.) The true freshmen Tigers who played in that Wofford game were Austin Bryant (DE), Kelly Bryant (QB), Deon Cain (WR), J.D. Davis (LB), Judah Davis (LB), Jake Fruhmorgen (OT), Albert Huggins (DT), Mitch Hyatt (OT), Ray-Ray McCloud (WR), Van Smith (S), Christian Wilkins (DT), Garrett Williams (TE) and Jalen Williams (LB). Mark Fields played in the second game against Appalachian State, giving Clemson 14 true freshmen who have played this season. The most true freshmen Clemson had played over the course of a season since 1952 was 12, in 2011. Eight of those 2011 freshmen were still on NFL rosters when the Wofford game started on September 5..

18 Tigers Honored as All-ACC SelectionsA record 18 Clemson players were named to one of three All-

ACC teams announced by the Atlantic Coast Sports Media Association (ACSMA). Sophomore quarterback Deshaun Watson was joined on the first team by offensive players Eric Mac Lain and Artavis Scott, as well as defensive players Mackensie Alexander, Shaq Lawson and Carlos Watkins.

The ACC Coaches also selected a team and had nine Clemson players on the first team. The coaches first team included Watson, Mac Lain, Scott, Alexander, Lawson, Wayne Gallman, Jordan Leggett, Ben Boulware and Jayron Kearse.

Clemson’s entire starting offensive line was honored for the first time ever, as Jay Guillermo was a second-team choice, while Tyrone Crowder, Joe Gore and Mitch Hyatt were all third-team selections. Other All-ACC selections on offense were running back Wayne Gallman and tight end Jordan Leggett, who were named to the second team. Place-kicker Greg Huegel also got a second-team nod.

Defensively, four Tigers were named to the second and third teams. Starting linebackers Ben Boulware and B.J. Goodson were both second-team honorees, along with safety Jayron Kearse. Starting corner-back Cordrea Tankersley was a third-team selection. Defensive end Kevin Dodd was an honorable mention selection and missed making the third team by just one second place vote.

Venables Named Finalist for Boyles Award Clemson Defensive Coordinator Brent Venables has been named a finalist for the Frank Broyles Award. The honor is presented each year to the top assistant coach in college football. Venables is the first Clemson assistant coach to be named a finalist for the prestigious award. Venables was one of five finalists for the honor. The others are Kirby Smart of Alabama, Kendal Briles of Baylor, Gene Chizik of North Carolina and Lincoln Riley of Oklahoma. Venables will lead his Clemson defense into the ACC Champi-onship game against North Carolina on Saturday. Both defensive coordi-nators in that game are Broyles finalists. Venables is in his fourth year at Clemson and the Tigers have a 44-7 record during that time. He led Clemson’s defense to a No. 1 national ranking in total defense last year. This year the Tigers defense leads the nation in pass com-pletion defense, first downs allowed, third down conversions and pass completion percentage. Clemson has allowed the opposition to complete just 47.4 percent of its passes, best in the nation this year and on pace to be the best by any team since 2008. Clemson is seventh in the nation in total defense this year, allowing 288 yards per game.

Clemson AutoNation National Team of the Week by FWAAClemson was named the AutoNation National Team of the Week

by the Football Writers Association of America on December 7. The No. 1 ranked Tigers defeated then No. 8 North Carolina, 45-37 in the ACC Cham-pionship game on Saturday night.

It is just the third time Clemson has won the award. Clemson was honored by the Football Writers Association for its 2003 victory over Florida State and its 2011 win over the Seminoles.

Clemson clinched the No. 1 seed in the College Football Playoff with its ACC title win over the Tar Heels. It gave Clemson a 13-0 record this year, including 9-0 against ACC teams. The victory gave Clemson three wins over teams in the final top 10 of the College Football Playoff poll, the only team in the nation that could make that claim.

Six Tigers Named to All-America Teams A record six Clemson football players have been named to vari-ous first, second or third-team All-America squads. The previous record for selections to All-America first, second or third teams was five set by

The No. 12 Clemson Tigers improved to 7-0 in home openers under head coach Dabo Swin-ney with a convincing 49-10 win over Wofford Saturday in front of a crowd of 81,301 fans at Memorial Stadium. Clemson racked up 533 yards, with 222 on the ground and 311 through the air. The Tigers came out quickly, with sophomore quarterback Deshaun Watson leading an 11-play, 75-yard drive culminating with a four-yard touchdown reception by Mike Williams. During the touchdown completion, Williams hit his head against the goalpost in the east endzone. Wil-liams suffered a neck injury and was transferred to Oconee Medical Center for further medical attention. It was determined after tests that he had a slight neck fracture. Defensive coordinator Brent Venables’ unit was one of the best in the nation a year ago and, despite several starters now playing in the NFL, picked up right where it left off. Wofford did not pick up its first first down until late in the second quarter when Clemson had already accumulated 21 points, as the Tiger defense posted six con-secutive three-and-outs to start the season. “Our guys in the secondary did a great job,” Swinney said. “I’m really proud of the defense.

GAME STATS

When you have as many young guys as we’ve got, you’re going to have a few first-game mistakes, but I am really proud.” Offensively, Watson led touchdown drives on the first two possessions and Clemson scored on five of its first seven drives, building a 35-0 lead. Following a miscue on a Clemson punt return, the Terriers put together a 10-play, 2:38 drive ending with a one-yard touchdown run by Chase Nelson as time expired in the first half. After halftime, Wofford drove 55 yards on eight plays to set up a 37-yard field goal by David Marvin and cut the score to 35-10. Sophomore Artavis Scott returned the ensuing kickoff 39 yards and Clemson punched in its sixth touchdown of the day with a Wayne Gallman one-yard plunge six plays later to take a commanding 42-10 lead early in the third quarter. Watson finished the day 18-22 passing for 194 yards and two touchdowns, while Gallman led all rushers with 92 yards on 14 carries and two scores. First-year freshman Ray-Ray Mc-Cloud hauled in eight catches for 80 yards and Scott added six grabs for 75 yards and a score. McCloud’s eight receptions was the most by a Clemson freshman in his first game.

GAME 2

CLEMSON, S.C. - A second-quarter flurry proved to be all the No. 12 Clemson Tigers needed to defeat the Appalachian State Mountaineers 41-10 on Saturday in front its second-straight sellout crowd at Memorial Stadium. “This was a very solid win and brought us something we could learn from,” said head coach Dabo Swinney. “The fans’ energy and volume level was really feeding the defense and helped light that spark.” Deshaun Watson was 19-26 passing for 248 yards and three touchdowns. Wayne Gallman led the Tigers’ ground game with 79 of the team’s 140 rushing yards. Defensively, Shaq Lawson had three tackles for loss. The Tigers added three intercep-tions that completely changed their momentum, part of four takeaways for Clemson. Clemson’s defense was stout, holding Appala-chian State to 298 total yards, including only 95 passing yards. In a critical moment, safety Jayron Kearse intercepted a pass in the endzone, giving the Tigers the ball and keeping Appalachian State off the scoreboard late in the first quarter. After a slow first quarter, defensive tackle Carlos Watkins intercepted a quick pass over the middle

by Taylor Lamb and returned it into the endzone to score the Tigers’ first touchdown. Watkins’ first career touchdown lit a fire under Clemson and started a scoring streak for the Tigers, who reeled off 35 consecutive points. On the oppositive side of the ball, defensive coordinator Brent Venebles was happy with his unit’s performance throughout the game. “Our guys were ready to play. I am really pleased at the point of attack. We knew we needed to make big plays and capitalize as a team.” The Tigers came up with their third intercep-tion by linebacker Ben Boulware. His third career interception set Deshaun Watson and the offense up for a touchdown to Charone Peake, a beautiful 24-yard pass in the second quarter. However, Peake and Watson were not done. Peake caught a 59-yard touchdown pass by Watson, his longest career reception, to score his second touchdown of the day. It was also Peake’s first-ever two-touchdown game. Shaq Lawson was named Co-Defensive Line-man of the Week by the ACC. He had three tackles for loss, including a sack in the win over the Mountaineers.

GAME 3

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Ninth-ranked Clemson outlasted Louisville, 20-17, in front of 55,396 fans, the third-largest crowd in Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium history, on Thursday. The win improved Clemson to 3-0 on the season, and was the program’s 30th straight victory over an unranked opponent. Clemson’s defense was outstanding all night, allowing just 272 yards of total offense to Lou-isville. The other story of the game was running back Wayne Gallman, who carried 24 times for 139 yards on the evening. He helped offset a pair of interceptions thrown by Deshaun Watson, who ended the night 21-30 passing for 199 yards. He added a season-best 54 on the ground. The defensive struggle was uncorked momen-tarily after the completion of the first quarter, when Watson found a streaking Hunter Renfrow wide open for his first career touchdown. The redshirt freshman caught the 32-yard strike to put the Tigers ahead, 7-0. The Cards cut the

Louisville took its first lead on a Jeremy Smith one-yard plunge in the third quarter, which was set up by Watson’s second interception of the evening — his first career game with multiple picks thrown. The Tigers responded, posting 13 consecutive points that included Watson’s 25-yard touchdown pass to tight end Jordan Leggett. His fourth career score combined with two Greg Huegel field goals to make it 20-10. Seemingly in control, the Tigers allowed a 100-yard kickoff return that gave the Cardinals life with 9:41 to play. Louisville marched into Clemson territory on its next drive, but John Wal-lace missed a 38-yard field goal. The Cards had another chance late, but Kevin Dodd’s eight-yard sack erased it and Louisville’s final throw was intercepted by Jadar Johnson.

GAME 4

CLEMSON, S.C. - The No. 11 Clemson Tigers battled No. 6 Notre Dame through torrential rains from Hurricane Joaquin under the lights on Saturday night. But the wet weather did not hold the Tigers back in a hard-fought 24-22 victory in front of 82,415 fans at Memorial Stadium. Head coach Dabo Swinney credited not only his team, but also the Clemson fans that showed up despite the poor weather conditions. “I am so proud of our team,” said Swinney. “They played with a lot of heart and a lot of guts. First of all, I want to thank our fans...they were unbelievable. I told our team they showed up, to make sure that we showed up. It was a magical night and definitely one I will never forget.” Deshaun Watson led the Tigers to an explosive start, connecting with Jordan Leggett in the endzone on the first drive. The fire lit by Watson quickly caught on with the defense, allowing them to keep the Fighting Irish offense off the score-board early in the first quarter. Clemson took an early 14-0 lead with another Watson touchdown, this time on a 13-yard pass to Artavis Scott. The remainder of the first half proved unevent-ful, but Watson came out to re-ignite the offense in the second half, running in a touchdown to put the Tigers up 21-3 early in the third quarter. His score followed the opening kickoff, where Ammon Lakip forced a fumble to give the Tigers great field position inside the Notre Dame 30.

GAME STATS

The fire continued to grow under Clemson’s defense with another fumble recovered by Jayron Kearse, but the Tigers couldn’t convert it into points. Trailing 21-3, Notre Dame refused to give in and made the game a tense one over the final 15 minutes for Tiger fans. In three consecutive crucial moments for the Tiger defense in the fourth quarter, Clemson came away with a pair of recovered fumbles and ultimately survived on a two-point conversion stand with seven seconds remaining. The Fighting Irish had pulled within two at 24-22 on a touchdown by Torii Hunter Jr., but Deshone Kizer’s designed quarterback run was stuffed by Carlos Watkins and Kevin Dodd, and Clemson survived the furious rally. Deshaun Watson accounted for three scores, while rushing for a career-high 93 yards. Wayne Gallman continued his strong start to the 2015 season, with 23 carries for 111 yards. Following the contest, Dodd was named ACC Defensive Lineman of the Week and B.J. Goodson earned ACC Linebacker of the Week honors. Dodd posted 3.5 tackles for loss, with two sacks and a forced fumble. Goodson had two takeaways in the fourth quarter, the first Tiger to do so in a game won by seven points or less since Terry Kinard, who also did it against Notre Dame, in 1979.

GAME 5

The No. 6 Clemson Tigers battled the rain for a second consecutive week, and earned a similar result. Clemson jumped out to a big lead early, and easily defeated Georgia Tech 43-24 at Memorial Stadium. Clemson’s offense rolled to 537 yards of total offense against Georgia Tech and was led by Wayne Gallman on the ground, who finished with 13 carries for 115 yards and two touchdowns. Clemson’s win marked Gallman’s third consecutive game with over 100 rushing yards, the first Tiger to do that since Andre Ellington in 2012. Clemson’s running game put on a strong performance yet again, as the Tigers finished with 201 yards on the ground. Gallman provided an instant spark for the Tigers’ of-fense right out the gate, as he took a handoff and burst into the open field for a 66-yard touchdown run on the third play of Clemson’s opening possession. Gallman did not stop there, as he scored his second touchdown on a one-yard run late in the first quarter to cap off a 10-play, 80-yard drive that put the Tigers ahead 17-3.

GAME STATS

The tide turned for Clemson yet again, as safety Jadar Johnson blocked a punt on special teams deep in Georgia Tech territory that resulted in a safety to give the Tigers a 19-3 lead. The Tigers’ offense was hitting on all cylinders, as quarterback Deshaun Watson followed up last week’s game with one of his best performances on the year, as the sophomore was 21-30 passing for 265 and two touchdown passes, both of which were to tight end Jor-dan Leggett. Leggett’s big day gave him four touchdown catches through the first five games of the season. Following the game, center Jay Guillermo was named ACC Offensive Lineman of the Week, his first such honor. Clemson’s defense came prepared for the option, as it held the Yellow Jackets, who came into the game averaging 310.6 yards per game on the ground, to 71 rushing yards. Cornerback Cordrea Tankersley nabbed his second interception of the season, while the Clemson defense finished with 11 tackles for loss. Linebacker Dorian O’Daniel and safety Jayron Kearse led the team in that category with three tackles for loss apiece.

GAME 6

The Clemson offense was again on full display as the No. 5 Tigers downed the Boston College Eagles 34-17 in front of 81,416 fans at Death Valley on Saturday night. The win extended the Tigers’ home winning streak to 14 to set a school record. It was also Clemson’s 34th straight win over an unranked opponent. Deshaun Watson passed for 420 yards and three touchdowns and rushed for another as the Tigers overcame the nation’s No. 1 defense. Sophomore wide receiver Artavis Scott finished with 10 receptions for 162 yards and a touchdown. The Tigers paved their way through the air against a stout Eagles secondary, as nine different Tigers caught a pass. “There’s never been a group to win 14 games in a row (at home),” said head coach Dabo Swinney. “I’m so proud of these guys. I loved our guys’ mentality all night. “I thought Tony (Elliott) and Jeff (Scott) called a great game. Hats off to our offensive staff and our guys for get-ting it done. We’ve got excellent leadership on this team, and they’ve truly bought in to the philosophy we have on this team. Our guys realize and believe wholeheartedly that we’re the best team, and it’s about how we prepare. “I’m thankful for the juniors and seniors on this team. They know what it takes to be successful, and the leaders on this team are a tremendous group of guys who are really focused on what they’re doing.”

GAME STATS

Senior running back Zac Brooks had another solid game for the Tigers, as he hauled in a 21-yard touchdown pass on fourth down midway through the second quarter to push the Tigers ahead 17-7. The touchdown reception was the second of Brooks’ career and his first since the Georgia game in 2013. Clemson’s ability to break down a defense and put up yards in a hurry broke through in the second half when Watson connected with Scott on a 51-yard touchdown pass to cap off a six-play, 98-yard drive to increase the Tigers’ lead to 27-10. Freshman wide receiver Deon Cain had a career-high 97 receiving yards, which included a 67-yard catch and run that set up a touchdown pass to tight end Jordan Leggett to widen the Tigers’ lead 34-10. Leggett became the first Tiger tight end since 1983 to catch a touchdown pass in four consecutive games. The Tigers totaled the most rushing yards (112), passing yards (420), points (34) and total yards (532) against the vaunted Eagle defense in 2015. Following the game, several Tigers received honors. Watson was named a “Great 8” performer by the Davey O’Brien Award, while also earning ACC Offensive Back of the Week honors. Jay Guillermo was named ACC Offen-sive Lineman of the Week, his second straight honor. He became the first offensive lineman from Clemson to win the award in consecutive weeks since Barry Richardson did it in 2007.

GAME 7

The sixth-ranked Clemson Tigers tied the program record for victory margin in an ACC game after defeat-ing Miami by a score of 58-0 in Sun Life Stadium on Saturday. The Tigers led 42-0 at intermission, and never looked back in moving to 7-0 (4-0 in the ACC) on the season. Miami fell to 4-3 overall, 1-2 in league play. Wayne Gallman and Deshaun Watson led a heavy rush-ing attack Saturday afternoon, as the Tigers accumulated a season-high 567 yards versus the Hurricanes. Clemson rushed for 416 yards, its highest total since 2000 against Wake Forest. Watson accounted for 241 total yards, including 98 on the ground. He was able to watch comfortably from the bench in the third quarter after the lead reached 45-0. He threw for a touchdown and scored one with his feet. Gallman ran for 118, his fourth 100-plus rushing yardage effort of 2015. The Tigers jumped out to a quick 21-0 lead in the opening quarter behind a fluid offense and suffocating defense. Watson threw a 34-yard touchdown to Jordan Leggett on the opening drive, Leggett’s tight end school-record fifth straight game with a score. Watson set the

GAME STATS

Tigers up for a second touchdown after unleashing a career-long 63-yard run that led to Gallman scoring from five yards out. The third score was put on the board when Zac Brooks got in on the action, scoring on a one-yard plunge. The Tigers duplicated the feat with 21 more points in the second frame. It culminated when Watson scampered in from six yards out, and then Cordrea Tankersley picked off the next offensive play by the ‘Canes that pushed the advantage to 42-0. Tankersley’s pick was his third of the season, most by a Tiger. The second half featured a ton of young players by Clemson on both sides of the ball. Backup quarterback Kelly Bryant was a highlight, scoring on two touchdown runs to continue and build the Tiger cushion. Bryant scored on a 59-yard run, his longest of the season. Following the game, Watson was named one of eight receipients of the Manning Award Star of the Week honor, despite playing just one half and one drive against the ‘Canes.

GAME 8

RALEIGH — The No. 3 Clemson Tigers defeated NC State 56-41 on Halloween at Carter-Finley Stadium on Saturday. It was Clemson’s 11th consecutive win dating to last season, the program’s longest winning streak since a 13-game tear from 1980-82. Sophomore quarterback Deshaun Watson led the Tigers to 623 total yards, as he completed 23-30 passes for 383 yards and five touchdowns. He also added a score on the ground to match his single-game high of six set last season against North Carolina. Wayne Gallman rushed for a season-high 172 yards, his fifth game over 100 yards this season. The game got off to a bizarre back and forth start, with both teams trading two touchdowns with a blocked point-after attempt. Watson ran for a score and threw a 57-yarder to Hunter Renfrow, the latter of which tied the game at 13 just five minutes into the contest. The Tigers gained control briefly after a pair of field goals by Greg Huegel, but NC State rallied with a touch-down late in the second quarter to nudge ahead, 20-19. But the Wolfpack failed to convert a field goal late, and with less than a minute to play in the half, the Tigers made them pay.

GAME STATS

Watson found Artavis Scott and Charone Peake open in 1-on-1 matchups on the right sideline. The completion to Peake went for 42 yards and a touchdown, giving the Tigers a 26-20 edge at halftime. Watson’s aerial show continued in the second half, as he flung a beautiful 40-yard pass to Deon Cain for the freshman’s first career touchdown that put Clemson at 40 points on the day. He followed that up with his fourth touchdown of the day, a 35-yard screen to Zac Brooks. But NC State refused to go quietly, answering with a couple of touchdowns of its own in the fourth quarter. Greg Huegel’s third field goal of the day ended the threat from the Wolfpack and put the Tigers up 15 with just under six minutes to play. Following the game, Watson was named National Offensive Player of the Week by the Walter Camp Founda-tion, as well as a Manning Award Star of the Week and ACC Offensive Back of the Week. Offensive tackle Joe Gore, who graded 91 percent, was named ACC Offensive Lineman of the Week.

GAME 9

The top-ranked Clemson Tigers overcame a first-half deficit to defeat No. 15 Florida State 23-13 in front of a deafening crowd of 83,099 fans at Memorial Stadium on Saturday afternoon. Clemson overcame its first halftime deficit since 2014 to capture the ACC Atlantic Division title for the first time since 2011 and improved to 9-0 on the season. “We had help from all phases tonight,” said Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney. “When we had mistakes, we picked each other up. There was no panic. There was some frustration in the first half, but the will to win and the fight was there. “Our team loves each other and that’s what it takes. Tonight was a tremendous team effort from everyone. That’s what it takes if you’re going to win a champion-ship.” A low-scoring first half left the Tigers looking for a change in fortune heading into the second half. The offense got what they were looking for early in the third quarter with a touchdown pass from Deshaun Watson to Deon Cain to put the Tigers on top 13-10. Watson set a career high in both completions (28) and passing attempts (42), as well as a career high with 107 rushing yards. Watson’s 107 yards on the ground also marked the first time a Tiger quarterback had 100+

rushing yards since Tajh Boyd ran for 127 yards versus Ohio State in the Orange Bowl on Jan. 3, 2014 (Clemson 40-35). The Tiger defense came out to make a statement after halftime adjustments, forcing two turnovers and one sack. Their efforts allowed the offense to come in and capitalize, pulling away from a 13-13 tie score thanks to Greg Huegel’s third field goal of the game with 7:23 left in the fourth quarter. In a crucial moment, Ben Boulware and Shaq Lawson made a stop on fourth-and-one, allowing the offense to take over on the Seminole 40. Watson then made crucial plays on consecutive third downs with completions to Charone Peake, who converted both for first downs. The offense capped off their drive with a 25-yard rushing touchdown by Wayne Gallman. Boulware and B.J. Goodson worked together to cause a turnover late in the fourth quarter to give the Tiger offense possession. The offense eventually took a knee and sealed their victory. Goodson was again honored as the ACC Linebacker of the Week following the game’s conclusion, his second honor of the season. Mitch Hyatt was named ACC Of-fensive Lineman of the Week after grading 93 percent and playing all 84 snaps.

GAME 10

A wild first five minutes set the tone for a back and forth affair inside the Carrier Dome, but at the end of the day Clemson emerged victorious over Syracuse by a score of 37-27. The win moved the No. 1 Tigers to 10-0 on the season, giving the program their fifth consecutive 10-win season. Clemson will have a chance to go undefeated in ACC play next week against Wake Forest. Deshaun Watson was once again brilliant for the Tigers, accounting for a career-high 461 yards of total offense. The sophomore signal-caller threw for 360 and rushed for 101, while tossing two touchdowns and adding a third on the ground. His favorite target was Charone Peake, who had a career-high 120 yards through the air and tied another with seven grabs. Clemson got off to a fast start on the first play from scrimmage, when Watson unleashed a 64-yard strike to Peake. That put the Tigers inside the 10-yard-line of the Orange, and Gallman dashed in on the next play to open

the scoring. Watson made it 14-0 with a quarterback keeper on a zone read following a Syracuse fumble on its first play. A pair of fumbles erased the good vibes, as Syracuse knotted the game at 14 apiece late in the opening quarter. But Watson settled the Tigers again, throwing beautiful touchdowns to Peake and freshman Deon Cain to help Clemson push ahead 31-17 at halftime. The Orange closed the gap even further, trailing just 31-24 after the third quarter. With the crowd at a fever pitch, Clemson faced fourth-and-two on the opening play of the fourth quarter. Wayne Gallman took a pitch and ran 14 yards to the left for a first down, setting up the second of Greg Huegel’s three field goals Saturday. The freshman kicker is a perfect 15-15 in ACC games for the Tigers. Clemson ran out the clock over the final 5:57 of the game, cementing the team’s 19th win over a 20-game stretch dating to last season.

GAME 11

Top-ranked Clemson defeated Wake Forest 33-13, moving the Tigers to 11-0 for the first time since 1981. The Tigers also celebrated Senior Day and Military Ap-preciation Day, with special segments honoring seniors and veterans throughout the game. “I’m excited to be 11-0,” said head coach Dabo Swin-ney. “That’s what this senior group has done...they’ve won and made this program better and they’re leaving it better than when they came, which is what a legacy is all about. We have state championship week now and a chance to go 12-0, so we have to play our best game of the year, and we are going to prepare to do that.” The Tiger defense lit the fire early with a caused fumble by Ben Boulware, which was recovered by Shaq Lawson. Overall, the defense allowed only 152 yards. Boulware finished with 2.5 tackles for loss, despite playing only 18 snaps due to a shoulder stinger. Deshaun Watson ignited the offense by completing 24-35 passes with four touchdowns in the first half. The offense totaled 552 yards, including 381 passing and 171 rushing. Watson’s yardage totals helped him again garner the ACC Offensive Back of the Week honor, as well as one of the eight awarded each week to Manning Award stars.

Deon Cain joined Sammy Watkins in becoming the second first-year freshman in Clemson history to record a touchdown catch in four consecutive games. After an electric first half, the Tigers took a more relaxed approach in the second half, allowing more of their players to see action on the field. Clemson played without injured starters Wayne Gallman and Mackensie Alexander. In his place, Kelly Bryant led the Tigers in rushing with 58 yards, while C.J. Fuller added 36 yards to pace the running backs. Adrian Baker got the start at corner, finishing with four tackles in Alexander’s place. Clemson finished the ACC regular season with an 8-0 record for the first time in history.

GAME 12

A sluggish start gave way to a flurry of points in Clemson’s 37-32 win at South Carolina, with Deshaun Watson completing 20-of-27 passes for 279 yards and rushing for an additional 114. With the victory, the Tigers remain unbeaten at 12-0, one of only two undefeated teams in the Football Bowl Subdivision, heading into next weekend’s ACC Champion-ship Game in Charlotte. Watson was responsible for four of Clemson’s five touchdowns as he rushed for three scores and threw for one more. Fellow sophomore Wayne Gallman added 102 yards on the ground and freshman Deon Cain caught five passes for 96 yards and a 55-yard touchdown. After a scoreless first-quarter by both offenses, Clemson scored first midway through the second period when Watson capped an eight-play, 83-yard march with a five-yard touchdown plunge. The Tiger defense forced a quick three-and-out and Watson followed with a 55-yard strike to Deon Cain to extend the lead to 14-0. South

GAME STATS

Carolina drove 11 plays for 76 yards as the half closed, but the Tiger defense forced a 21-yard field goal and Clemson led 14-3 at intermission. Watson led the offense to scoring drives on its first two possessions of the second half as Clemson claimed a 28-10 lead. But the Gamecocks closed the lead to only three points early in the fourth quarter by capitalizing on the Tigers’ third lost fumble of the day. Shon Carson scored from one yard out and Lorenzo Nunez added a two-point conversion to make the score 28-25. With momentum clearly residing on the home team sideline, Watson led a 10-play, 60-yard drive and finished it off with his third rushing touchdown of the day to extend the lead to 34-25. The Tiger defense then forced its fourth three-and-out of the day, and Clemson held the ball for 4:38 on the ensuing possession. Clemson tacked on a late field goal and South Carolina scored a touchdown with :01 remaining.

2015 CLEMSON FOOTBALL@ClemsonFB ClemsonTigers.com

The top-ranked Clemson Tigers gave an ACC Champi-onship Game record crowd of 74,514 a show at Bank of America Stadium. Behind the dual-threat capabilities of quarterback Deshaun Watson, the Tigers won 45-37 and moved to 13-0 on the season and secured the program’s 15th ACC Championship in its history. The lead held at 12 midway through the fourth quarter when defensive end Shaq Lawson came up with a huge forced fumble and sack that gave the Tigers possession. After tacking on a field goal, Clemson had to hang on late and recover an onside kick after the Tar Heels cut the deficit to eight points. Watson was masterful and was named the Most Valu-able Player after totaling 420 yards of total offense, an ACC Championship Game record. He accounted for five touchdowns in all, three through the air and two on the ground. Wayne Gallman rushed for 187 yards, putting him just 13 yards shy of the single-season rushing record of 1,345 set by Raymond Priester in 1996. The Tigers amassed 608 yards of total offense and 33 first downs Saturday. The Tigers rushed for 319 and passed for 289. Defensively, UNC took advantage of short fields in the first half and finished just 12-35 passing as a team. North Carolina held a 9-7 lead after the first quarter. T.J. Logan escaped the backfield and was left all alone for a 46-yard catch and run for a score. His score came after the Tigers had taken a 7-3 lead, also on an easy pitch-and-catch from Watson to Gallman.

GAME STATS

Watson flipped some bad field position to open the second frame. He directed a 12-play, 96-yard drive that ended with his nine-yard rushing touchdown, his 10th on the ground this season. Deon Cain converted a key fourth down to keep the drive alive just past midfield. But UNC had an answer after Clemson failed to convert a fake punt deep in its own territory. Marquise Williams found Ryan Switzer in the end zone to put the Heels up 16-14. Somehow, despite seven penalties including a target-ing call that forced the ejection of safety T.J. Green, Clemson managed a halftime advantage of 21-16. After the defense forced the Heels to a three-and-out, Watson’s arm took over. He led the Tigers on a march downfield, converting a key third down to tight end Jordan Leggett. The two then hooked up with two seconds left before halftime on a jump pass from Watson, Leggett’s seventh score of 2015. The Tigers came out inspired in the second half, sparked by Cordrea Tankersley’s fifth interception. His takeaway turned into points on a Gallman touchdown run.

Clemson outscored Oklahoma 21-0 in the second half and defeated the Sooners 37-17 in the semifinals of the College Football Playoff at the Orange Bowl in Miami, FL. With the win the No. 1 Tigers advance to the National Championship game against No. 2 Alabama. The two teams traded scores in the first half and the Sooners took a 17-16 lead at intermission. Clemson gained 305 yards of total offense in the first half, but still trailed by a point. Oklahoma scored first on its first drive of the game, then Clemson scored 13 straight points to take a 13-7 lead. A key play took place in the second period when the Tigers executed a fake punt. Punter Andy Teasdall threw a pass out of punt formation to Christian Wilkins, normally a defensive tackle, who was on the field as a blocking back. Wilkins 31 yard reception set up a Deshaun Watson five yard run that gave Clemson a 10-7 lead. Greg Huegel booted three field goals in the first half, but Oklahoma took the lead just before the half on a 11 yard pass from Baker Mayfield to Mark Andrews. It was all Clemson in the second half as the Tigers shutout the high scoring Sooners, who had won seven straight entering the contest. Clemson’s ground game was dominant as Wayne Gallman finished with 150 yards rushing and Watson added 145. It was the first time in history Clemson had a pair of 140-yard rushers in the same game. Gallman scored on a one yard run on Clemson’s first drive of the second half to take a 23-17 lead. Hunter Renfrow then caught a 35-yard touchdown pass from Watson to give Clemson a 30-17 lead entering the fourth period. Gallman then put the game away with 10:48 left on a four yard run. Clemson’s defense forced two turnovers in the second half, interceptions by starting linebackers B.J. Goodson and Ben Boulware. It was the second straight year Boulware had an interception, a first for a Clemson linebacker. T.J. Green led Clemson tacklers with 10, but Boulware was named the MVP with the interception, eight tackles and a sack. Kevin Dodd added 3.5 tackles for loss, including a sack as Clemson held the Sooners to just 67 yards rushing on 40 attempts. Watson finished 16-31 for 187 yards and a
