Facts on Clemson Football Academic Excellence • Clemson has had 53 players in the last 10 seasons who have played for the Tigers after they earned their undergraduate degrees. That includes six current Tigers (Terrance Ashe, Daniel Barnes, Chris Hairston, Richard Jackson, Byron Maxwell, Michael Wade) on the 2010 team. Scholarship players Brandon Clear, Xavier Dye, DeAndre McDaniel, Kasey Nobles, and Ben Ramsey all graduated on December 16. • Clemson’s football team had 33 players named to the academic honor roll for the 2010 spring semester, the third straight semester with at least 30 selections. The list of academic honor roll selections included First-Team All-ACC players DeAndre McDaniel and Michael Palmer. • Each of the top-eight team GPAs have taken place in the last 10 years. That includes the 2010 spring semester when the team had a 2.56 GPA, second-best on record. • Seven Tigers made the Academic All-ACC team in 2009, the most in Clemson history for one season. Clemson was second to Duke in the number of selections. The list of Tigers included All-American Thomas Austin and freshman All-American Dalton Freeman. • In the last four years, 73 of the 79 players (92.4 percent) who have stayed at Clemson until their final year have graduated. That includes a graduation rate of 91 percent for scholarship football players (58-64) who have stayed until their senior season. All 20 seniors on the 2006 team received their degrees, and 16 of the 18 seniors on the 2009 team already have their degrees. • Chad Carson and Kyle Young were first-team academic All-Americans in 2000 and 2001. Clemson was the only Division I school in the nation with two first-team picks each year. Young was a first-team academic All-American from 1999-01 and became just the second ACC player in history to be a three-time, first-team selection. He is one of just two offensive linemen in college football history to be a three-time, first-team academic All-American. He is currently an associate athletic director in the Clemson Athletic Department. • Chad Carson joined Kyle Young in graduating from Clemson University Summa Cum Laude. In 2002, Carson reached the final stage of the Rhodes Scholarship selection process, as he was the only Division I football player in the nation who could make that prestigious claim. • Head Coach Dabo Swinney is third in APR scores since he took over as head coach in 2008. His score for that time period is 982, just below Troy Calhoun of Air Force (985) and Pat Fitzgerald of Northwestern (985).

All-Star Selections • Clemson has a history of decorated football players. The program boasts 63 different All-Americans in its history, including three members of the 2009 team. C.J. Spiller was a unanimous first-team All-American in 2009, just the third unanimous All-American in Clemson history. He was sixth in the Heisman Trophy voting. Spiller was joined by junior DeAndre McDaniel, a First-Team Football Writers Association All-America as a safety, and Thomas Austin, a third-team All-American as an offensive guard by Sporting News. • In 2010, defensive end Da’Quan Bowers was named a first-team All-American, ACC Defensive Player-of-theYear, and won both the Hendricks Award and Nagurski Award. • Offensive linemen Chris McDuffie and Barry Richardson were both named to various teams in 2007, the first time in Tiger history that two offensive linemen on the same team were named All-American. • In 2006, the late Gaines Adams was a unanimous AllAmerican and was the #4 overall selection of the NFL draft. Adams, Da’Quan Bowers, Terry Kinard, and C.J. Spiller are the four first-team unanimous All-Americans in Clemson history.

33 Bowl Appearances

• The Clemson program has had at least one All-American in 31 of the last 34 years. • Clemson has had at least one First-Team All-ACC player each of the last 34 years, the longest active streak and the longest overall streak in ACC history. In 2010, Clemson had four first-team selections in Da’Quan Bowers, Chris Hairston, Jarvis Jenkins, and DeAndre McDaniel. Clemson and Maryland had the most first-team selections with four. • Clemson had nine players named to the ACC’s 50-Year Anniversary team, more than any other school. The list of honorees shows the balance of the program over the years, as every area of a football team (by position) was represented. The nine players are Joe Bostic, Jerry Butler, Bennie Cunningham, Jeff Davis, Steve Fuller, Terry Kinard, Michael Dean Perry, William Perry, and Anthony Simmons. All nine players were All-Americans during at least one season at Clemson and played in the NFL.

Bowl History • Clemson’s victory in the 2009 Music City Bowl was its 32nd bowl game in history. Clemson’s 16-win total in those games is 18th-most in FBS history. • Clemson’s first bowl game was a 6-3 victory over Boston College and Frank Leahy in the 1940 Cotton Bowl. Leahy is still second in college football history in winning percentage. • Clemson won five straight bowl games between the 1986 and 1990 seasons, tied for the eighth-longest winning streak in college football history in consecutive seasons. Clemson defeated Stanford, Penn State, Oklahoma, West Virginia, and Illinois during the stretch. • Clemson has defeated some of the top coaches in college football history in bowl competition. Among the list of celebrated head coaches who have lost to Clemson in bowl games since the ACC was founded are Joe Paterno (winningest coach in Division I history on a totalvictories basis), Barry Switzer (#4-winningest Division I coach on a winning percentage basis), and Tom Osborne (#7-winningest Division I coach on a winning percentage basis). Hall of Fame Head Coach Woody Hayes suffered his final defeat against the Tigers in 1978 in the Gator Bowl. Overall, Clemson has defeated nine head coaches in bowl games who are enshrined in the College Football Hall of Fame. • The 2009 Music City Bowl was Clemson’s 21st bowl appearance since 1985, a tangible representation of the program’s consistency. That mark is ninth in the nation in bowl appearances in the last 25 seasons. The Tigers have been to a bowl game 11 of the last 12 years and have been bowl-eligible 12 straight seasons.

Championship Tradition • The Tigers were named National Champions by every service in 1981, as they were the only school in the nation with a perfect record (12-0). The year included three wins over top-10 teams (Georgia, Nebraska, North Carolina), the only team in college football to beat three top10 teams in 1981. It was just the second national title for an ACC school. • The 1981 team had five All-Americans on its roster, including first-team selections Jeff Davis, Terry Kinard, and Perry Tuttle. Thirty-one players on the 1981 squad were eventually drafted by the NFL and 22 players eventually played in the NFL. Twenty-three different players on the 1981 roster were First-Team All-ACC selections at one time during their careers. • Since the ACC was formed in 1953, Clemson has more overall wins (394) and ACC wins (237) than any other school. • Clemson won the ACC Atlantic Division title in 2009. • Clemson has won 13 ACC titles (12 outright and one tied), still the all-time ACC record.

vs.

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

Coaching Success • Clemson has a legendary history when it comes to coaching. Three former Tiger mentors (John Heisman, Frank Howard, Jess Neely) are already in the College Football Hall of Fame. Howard was Clemson’s coach when the ACC was founded and promptly took the Tigers to six ACC titles. No coach had more league titles than Howard during his 30-year tenure at Clemson. He concluded his career with 165 victories, and his 30-year tenure still is third-longest in NCAA history for a coach serving at one school. • Danny Ford coached Clemson to the National Championship in 1981 and won six bowl games in his Clemson career, second on the all-time ACC coaching list. His 76-percent winning mark is also second-best in ACC history. He was the consensus national coach-of-the-year in 1981, and he remains the youngest coach (33) to win a national title. • Tommy Bowden continued the tradition of outstanding Tiger coaches by leading the team to bowl games each of his first five years, the only coach in Clemson history to do that. He was ACC Coach-of-the-Year twice. In 2003, he became the second Tiger coach to defeat three top25 teams in the same year and the second to record at least two top-10 wins in one year. He led Clemson to eight consecutive winning seasons, the longest streak by one coach in school history and coached the Tigers in eight bowl games, tied for third-most in ACC history. • Current Head Coach Dabo Swinney was named the ACC Coach-of-the-Year by Sporting News and was one of 10 national finalist for the Liberty Mutual National Coachof-the-Year Award. He led Clemson to nine wins in his first full season, second in the nation among first-year coaches in 2009.

Conference Competitiveness • Clemson is a charter member of the Atlantic Coast Conference. Year in and year out, the ACC is considered among the best of the BCS conferences. The league is competitive with 12 teams, nine of whom went to bowls in 2009 and 2010. The conference had a record 10 bowl teams in 2008. • Clemson has posted 10 straight winning seasons, a streak that dates to a 9-3 record in 2000. Clemson was one of just 14 schools nationally with a winning season in every year of the 2000s entering the 2010 season. • Clemson, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Maryland, and Miami (FL) are schools within the conference that have won a national title. • When Clemson running back C.J. Spiller, the 2009 ACC Player-of-the-Year, was chosen as the #9 overall selection of the NFL draft, it preserved a streak for the conference of having a player chosen among the top-10 draft picks in each of the past five years. Since the 2006 Draft, the ACC is the only conference with a top-10 selection in each of the past five years. • Since 2006, the ACC has 16 top-10 NFL draft selections, trailing only the SEC (17) in that category. The Big 12 is next with 12 top-10 draftees since 2006. • In the last four seasons, the ACC has 34 first-round selections in the NFL draft, second nationally among leagues by just two. • No fewer than 17 players on the rosters of the 2010 Super Bowl teams played their collegiate football at ACC schools, while 10 of the coaches had some connection to an ACC institution. The AFC Champion Colts had six coaches with ACC ties led by Head Coach Jim Caldwell, who spent eight seasons as head coach at Wake Forest 2010 Meineke Car Care Bowl


Facts on Clemson Football from 1993-00. Former Clemson offensive coordinator Clyde Christensen was also on that staff. • For the second straight year, the ACC led all conferences by a wide margin in the number of former football standouts selected from its current schools to play in the Pro Bowl. Current ACC schools saw 23 of their former standouts selected to play in the 2010 Pro Bowl. The SEC was second with 15 selections, with the Big Ten third with 14. The Pac-10 had 13 selections, followed by the Big 12 and the Big East with 11 honorees each. • For the fifth consecutive year, the ACC led all conferences in the nation (FBS) in graduating its football players. ACC schools have combined to graduate their players at a rate of 72.3 percent according to the NCAA’s 2009 Graduation Success Rate (GSR) survey.

Exposure • Clemson is one of the most-televised teams in the nation every year. In 2010, 10 of Clemson’s 12 games were on some type of live television. Seven games were shown on ABC or on the ESPN family of networks. • Clemson’s 2009 senior class had 45 of their 53 games on live television, including 37 games on one of the ESPN family of networks. • Clemson has averaged nine televised games during the last 26 years. • Every season, the Clemson vs. Florida State game is one of the nation’s most highly-rated college football games. In 2007, the game was played on Labor Day night on ESPN and had a 5.02 rating, the highest-rated game on the opening weekend of college football. • Clemson’s 2007 Chick-fil-A Bowl game against #21 Auburn also had a 5.02 rating on ESPN, the highest rated of the 19 bowl games shown by ESPN during the postseason and is the fifth-highest-rated bowl game for ESPN in its history. • The exposure has led to great home attendance figures in Memorial Stadium. Clemson set a school record for season tickets in 2008 and led the ACC in average home attendance each of the last two years. Clemson has finished in the top 20 in the nation in home attendance every year since 1981.

First-Round Draft Picks • C.J. Spiller was the #9 overall selection of the 2010 NFL draft and the first ACC player chosen. He was the 23rd first-round draft pick in Clemson history. He was the fourth first-round pick for the Clemson program in the last 10 years. All four players earned their academic degrees from Clemson. • Gaines Adams was the #4 overall pick of the 2007 NFL draft by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Adams tied for the highest draft pick by a Tiger in history and the highest since 1939, when Banks McFadden was the #4 overall pick of the NFL draft by the Brooklyn Dodgers. Adams’ selection tied for the third-highest pick in any sport in Tiger history. • Clemson has had a top-32 selection in the NFL draft each of the last four years. Spiller was the #9 choice in 2010 and Phillip Merling was the #32 overall pick in 2008 by the Miami Dolphins. Gaines Adams was the #4 overall pick of the NFL draft by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2007 and Tye Hill was the #15 overall pick of the Saint Louis Rams in 2006.

Hall of Fame

Poll Presence

• Former Clemson consensus All-American and 1981 National Championship team captain Jeff Davis was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2007. Davis is regarded as one of the great leaders of any team in Tiger athletics history. He had 175 tackles on the 1981 team, leading the Tigers to a perfect 12-0 record. • Jeff Davis was the second member of Clemson’s National Championship team to be enshrined in the College Football Hall of Fame. Terry Kinard was inducted in 2001 in New York City. Both Davis and Kinard are also members of the Clemson Ring of Honor. • Clemson had a special night in New York City on December 11, 2001. That evening, Terry Kinard was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame and Kyle Young was a recipient of a National Football Foundation Scholar-Athlete Award. Clemson was the only school in the nation with one of each in 2001. • Terry Kinard was the first Tiger football player to win a national individual award. He was named 1982 national defensive player-of-the-year by CBS. That year (his senior season), he was a unanimous first-team AllAmerican, the first unanimous All-American in Clemson football history. He was named to the ACC’s 50-Year Anniversary team in 2002, and he was also listed among the top-50 athletes in the history of the ACC, regardless of sport. • Three former Clemson coaches are in the College Football Hall of Fame. The list includes John Heisman (190003), Jess Neely (1931-39), and Frank Howard (1940-69). • Banks McFadden, Clemson’s greatest all-around athlete and an AP First-Team All-American in 1939, was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1959.

• The 2009 season marked the 24th year that Clemson was ranked in the final top 25 of the AP poll. It was the third time in the last five years that Clemson was ranked in the final top 25. The Tigers’ highest ranking is #1, a mark achieved on November 30, 1981 and in the final poll that season (January 4, 1982). • Clemson once had a streak of 46 consecutive weeks ranked in the AP poll during the 1980s. • Clemson finished in the top 20 of all the final polls from 1986-91, a six-year streak. The Tigers had exactly two losses in each of those six seasons. • Clemson was ranked in the final top 20 of the AP poll six times in the 1980s. The Tigers were fifth in the nation in winning percentage during that decade. • Beating ranked opponents has been a hallmark of Clemson’s success.

State team in 2010. • Clemson has five top-10 wins in the last seven years, including a victory over #3 Florida State in 2003, the highest-ranked team the Tigers have beaten in history. In 2009, Clemson won at #8 Miami (FL), 40-37 in overtime in one of the most exciting games in Clemson history.

NFL Influence • Twenty-two former Tigers have combined to win 30 Super Bowl Championship rings. Linebacker Anthony Waters was a member of the 2010 New Orleans Saints, who won the Super Bowl championship. It was the second straight year a former Tiger played on a Super Bowl Champion. Defensive tackle Nick Eason was a member of the 2009 Pittsburgh Steelers’ Super Bowl Championship team. The leader is Jeff Bostic, who started on three Super Bowl Championship teams with the Washington Redskins. • Clemson has had an alum on a Super Bowl Championship team seven of the last 12 years. Clemson was one of six schools to have a representative on each of the four teams involved in the conference championship games at the end of the 2005 season. • Trevor Pryce, an All-ACC player at Clemson during the 1996 season, has won two Super Bowl Championship rings and been a four-time Pro Bowl selection. He was one of eight former Clemson defensive linemen on NFL rosters in 2006 and finished the season with 13.5 sacks, among the top-five totals in the NFL. • Brian Dawkins is one of the stars of the NFL among defensive players. A 1996 Clemson graduate, Dawkins was an All-American on Clemson’s 1995 team when he finished the season 10th in the nation in interceptions. He became the first player in NFL history in 2002 to register a sack, interception, recovered fumble, and receiving touchdown in the same game. He has been named to the Pro Bowl eight times in the last 11 seasons, including the 2010 Pro Bowl. The current Denver Bronco safety has been named to the Pro Bowl more than any other former Tiger. • Levon Kirkland, now an administrator in the admissions office at Clemson, was named to the NFL All-Decade team (1990s) for his play with the Steelers. * Twenty-two former Clemson players were on NFL rosters during the 2010 season.

Clemson’s Bowl History Clemson has a rich bowl tradition. The Tigers have 16 bowl wins, 18th-most in NCAA history. Their first bowl game was in the 1940 Cotton Bowl when the Tigers defeated Frank Leahy (Boston College) 6-3. With its 2010 Meineke Car Care Bowl appearance, the Tigers have played in a bowl game 22 of the last 26 years. That is among the top-10 bowl appearances since 1985. Clemson has beaten some of the top programs in college football history in bowl games. The list of schools Clemson has beaten in a bowl game includes prominent programs Miami (FL), Nebraska, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Penn State, Stanford, Tennessee, and West Virginia. Clemson won its first three bowl games, wins over Boston College, Missouri, and Miami (FL). The three coaches Clemson beat in those games were Frank Leahy, Don Faurot, and Andy Gustafson, and all three are in the College Football Hall of Fame. Clemson has a football program that has been steady over the years in bowl games, no matter who has been head coach. No less than seven different head coaches (Jess Neely, Frank Howard, Danny Ford, Ken Hatfield, Tommy West, Tommy Bowden, Dabo Swinney) have all won bowl games for the Tigers. Overall, nine of Clemson’s 16 bowl wins have come against coaches who are in the College Football Hall of Fame, including 2007 inductee Joe Paterno of Penn State. Clemson has four bowl wins over coaches who are in the 200-victory club. Woody Hayes of Ohio State, Tom Osborne of Nebraska, Paterno and Nehlen are all coaches with at least 200 wins who lost bowl games to Clemson. Clemson has bowl wins over some of the greatest coaches in college football history: • Frank Leahy, the second-winningest coach in history on a winning-percentage basis, when Clemson defeated Boston College in the 1940 Cotton Bowl. • Joe Paterno of Penn State, the winningest coach in Division I college football history on a total-wins basis, when

Tom Osborne of Nebraska, the seventh-winningest coach in college football (Division I) history on a total-wins basis, when Clemson beat the Cornhuskers in the 1981 Orange Bowl, which gave Clemson its only national title. Don Nehlen of West Virginia, the 15th-winningest coach in Division I history when Clemson downed the Mountaineers 27-7 in the 1989 Gator Bowl. Phillip Fulmer of Tennessee, who had over 150 career wins, when the Tigers defeated a #6 Tennessee team 27-14 in the 2004 Peach Bowl.

Bowl Notes Clemson & South Florida Have Similar Defensive Stats Clemson and South Florida both have outstanding defenses and that is reflected in the national statistics entering the bowl season. A look to the chart below shows that the teams are separated by less than two points per game in terms of scoring defense and less than five yards per game in terms of total defense, pass defense, and rush defense. In fact, Clemson is allowing 131.7 rushing yards per game and South Florida is allowing 131.9 rushing yards per game. Clemson’s defense has given up 22 touchdowns, including just six rushing, and South Florida’s defense has given up 23 touchdowns, including only seven rushing. Clemson is giving up just 17.0 first downs per game and South Florida is yielding 17.3 first downs per game.

Clemson’s Second Game at Bank of America Stadium The Meineke Car Care Bowl game against South Florida will be the second contest for the Tigers at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, NC. Clemson defeated Temple by a score of 63-9 in a regular-season game on a Thursday evening at Bank of America Stadium on October 12, 2006. Al Golden, who recently accepted the head coaching position at Miami (FL), was the head coach at Temple for that game. No active Tiger played in that game, but some redshirt seniors were on the sidelines that evening. Clemson has a strong tie to the Carolina Panthers, who play their home games in Bank of America Stadium. In 1995, the Panthers’ first year in the NFL, they played their home games at Memorial Stadium while Bank of America Stadium was being built.

Records & Milestones in Range • Da’Quan Bowers needs one sack to become Clemson’s single-season recordholder. He has 15.5 sacks and the record is 16 by Keith Adams (1999). Bowers needs just one sack to become the ninth player in Clemson history with 20 career sacks. • Da’Quan Bowers needs three tackles for loss to set Clemson’s single-season record by a defensive lineman. He has 25 and the record is 27 by William Perry (1984) and Rob Bodine (1991). • If Marcus Gilchrist, Byron Maxwell, DeAndre McDaniel, and Michael Wade all play in the Meineke Car Care Bowl, they will tie the Clemson career record for games played. They have all played 52 games over the last four years. • Jamie Harper needs one receiving touchdown to tie C.J. Spiller’s record for receiving touchdowns in a season by a running back. Harper has three receiving touchdowns and the record is four by Spiller (2009). • DeAndre Hopkins needs one touchdown reception to set the Clemson single-season freshman record. He has four touchdown catches and is tied with many other freshman wideouts in Clemson history. • DeAndre McDaniel needs two interceptions to tie the Clemson career record. McDaniel has 15 interceptions and the record is 17 by Terry Kinard (1978-82). • Kyle Parker needs 43 passing yards to move into the top five in Clemson history on a career basis. Parker has 4,605 passing yards and needs 43 to move ahead of Rodney Williams, who had 4,647 passing yards from 1985-88. Parker has 390 career completions and needs 10 completions to become the fifth player in Clemson history with 400 career completions. Parker is already fifth in touchdown passes with 32 in his 26 games at Clemson.

Clemson vs. Skip Holtz Clemson has not faced an opposing team led by Skip Holtz, but Holtz has gone against the Tigers as an assistant coach at South Carolina and as a graduate assistant at Florida State. The 1986 Notre Dame graduate was an assistant under his father, Lou Holtz, at South Carolina from 1999-04. Clemson won five of the six meetings against the Gamecocks during that time. South Carolina’s only win in that period was a 20-15 victory in Columbia in 2001. Holtz was on Bobby Bowden’s staff at Florida State as a graduate assistant in 1988. Florida State won at Clemson that year by a score of 24-21. Lou Holtz coached against the Tigers for two schools, N.C. State and South Carolina. Lou Holtz was 5-5 against Clemson in his career, 1-5 as South Carolina’s head coach and 4-0 as N.C. State’s head coach in the 1970s. Clemson vs. Big East Conference The Meineke Car Care Bowl will be Clemson’s fourth game against a team currently in the Big East Conference. All three of the previous meetings have been in the Gator Bowl. Clemson has a 1-2 record against Big East Conference foes. The first meeting against a team currently in the Big East Conference took place against Pittsburgh in the 1977 Gator Bowl. The Panthers won that game by a score of 34-3. Clemson earned its first win over a Big East Conference team in the 1989 Gator Bowl when Clemson defeated West Virginia by a score of 27-7. The Tigers then played Syracuse in the 1995 Gator Bowl, as the Orange came away with a 41-0 victory. Clemson has played four other games against teams that are in the Big East Conference for other sports, but not football. Clemson split a pair of games with Notre Dame, losing 21-17 at Clemson in 1977 and winning in South Bend by a score of 16-10 in 1979. Notre Dame is in the Big East Conference for all sports except for football. The Tigers have split two games with Villanova, who is at the FCS level in football. Villanova defeated Clemson on the gridiron in 1952 by a score of 14-7, and Clemson won in 1978 by a score of 31-0. Both of those games were at Clemson.

A Clemson Victory Would... • Give Clemson a bowl victory in consecutive seasons for the first time since the 1986-90 era, when Clemson won a bowl game in five straight seasons. • Give Clemson a bowl victory in an even numbered season for the first time in 20 years (1990). • Give Clemson an 11th consecutive winning season. • Give Clemson a winning record in bowl games. Clemson is 16-16 in bowl games. • Make Dabo Swinney the first Clemson head coach to win two of his first three bowl games since Danny Ford won two of his first three. The only other Clemson coach to do it is Frank Howard. 2009 Music City Bowl Recap C.J. Spiller totaled 172 all-purpose yards and scored a touchdown in his final college game, leading Clemson to a 21-13 win over Kentucky in the Music City Bowl in Nashville, TN. The victory closed a 9-5 season for the Tigers, who finished #24 in the AP poll. Spiller was named MVP of the game, as he had 67 rushing yards, 58 receiving yards, and 47 kickoff return

vs.

yards. His eight-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter put the Tigers up by eight points, as it was his schoolrecord 51st career touchdown. Kentucky drove 61 yards on its first possession and Morgan Newton threw a 17-yard scoring pass to Chris Matthews to put the Wildcats ahead 7-0. Clemson countered later in the quarter when Kyle Parker threw his 20th touchdown pass of the year on a 32-yard pass to Jacoby Ford. Jamie Harper, who was Clemson’s leading rusher in the game with 79 yards on eight carries, put Clemson up 14-10 on a one-yard run with five minutes left in the first half. Kentucky made it 14-13 on a field goal in the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, Kavell Conner stripped Gene McCaskill and Jarvis Jenkins recovered at the Kentucky 19 before Spiller scored with 10:14 left to put Clemson up 21-13. After the Spiller touchdown, Kentucky drove 60 yards into Clemson territory, but Rick Sapp stopped Newton just short of a first down at the Clemson 25. The Tigers took over and ran out the final 5:27 of the game thanks to the running of Spiller and Harper, who combined for 53 rushing yards on the drive. Clemson’s strong defensive effort allowed just one touchdown. Conner, playing in his last college game, had a career-high 15 tackles, and DeAndre McDaniel had the same total, also a career-high. Freshman Corico Hawkins, starting in place of an injured Brandon Maye, had seven tackles in his first career start. Marcus Gilchrist added eight tackles and Jeremy Campbell had seven stops in his final game as a Tiger. Clemson in NCAA Statistics Clemson is in the top 25 in the nation in a number of statistical categories. Below is a rundown of Clemson’s standing in various categories. • #2 in rushing touchdowns allowed (6) • #6 in touchdowns allowed (23) • #9 in scoring defense (17.8) • #12 in tackles for loss (7.3) • #15 in first downs allowed (17.0) • #21 in net punting (38.5) • #23 in total defense (323.8) • #24 in punt return defense (5.8) • #25 in pass efficiency defense (114.0)

Clemson Has 10 Straight Winning Seasons A win in the Meineke Car Care Bowl game would give Clemson an 11th consecutive winning season. Clemson’s last non-winning season was in 1999, when the Tigers were 6-6 in Tommy Bowden’s first year as head coach, but they did play in the Peach Bowl. Entering 2010, 14 different schools had a winning season of at least 10 years in a row. In addition to Clemson, those schools were Boise State, Boston College, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Louisiana State, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Southern Mississippi, Texas, Texas Tech, and Virginia Tech. Texas dropped off the list with a 5-7 regular season this year. Clemson, Georgia Tech, and Georgia all must win bowl games to keep their streaks alive. Tough Schedule for the Tigers Clemson has played a tough schedule this year. The Tigers have played nine teams that will play in bowl games this year. Only Notre Dame has played more (10). The nine bowl opponents in the regular season is the most in school history. Eight teams on Clemson’s schedule have totaled seven regular-season wins, also a high in Clemson history. Clemson has played two non-conference games against top-25 teams, #15 Auburn, who will play in the Na2010 Meineke Car Care Bowl


Bowl Notes tional Championship game, and #17 South Carolina, who played for the SEC title against Auburn. This is the first time since 2005 and just the second time since 1989 that Clemson has faced two top-25 nonconference teams in the same regular season. In 2005, Clemson played a top-25 Texas A&M team and a top-25 Gamecock squad, and Clemson won both games. Clemson is the only ACC team to face two non-conference opponents ranked in the top 25 in the regular season in 2010. Clemson Tied for Sixth Nationally in TDs Allowed Clemson is tied for sixth in the nation in terms of touchdowns allowed (23). That includes six rushing touchdowns, 16 passing touchdowns, and one on an interception return for a score. West Virginia leads the nation in touchdowns allowed (15), followed by TCU and Alabama, who have given up 18 apiece. Ohio State is fourth (20) and Boise State is fifth (22). Clemson and Missouri have given up 23, while Boston College, Iowa, and Nebraska have allowed 24. Clemson has allowed just six rushing touchdowns this year, the fewest given up by the Tigers since 1992, when that team gave up just six in 11 games. West Virginia leads the nation in rushing touchdowns allowed (3). Clemson is tied for second with Alabama, while Boston College, South Florida, TCU, and Wisconsin have allowed just seven apiece. Clemson Defense Above Average Against Most Foes A look to Clemson opponent averages over the course the season shows that the Tigers have held 10 of their 11 FBS opponents under their scoring average and rushing average, nine opponents under their total offense average, and eight opponents under their passing yardage average this year. In terms of scoring average, eight of the 11 FBS opponents had at least their third-lowest scoring performance of the season against Clemson. N.C. State has averaged 32.6 points per game this year, but scored just 13 against Clemson. That is the lowest total by the Wolfpack offense by 14 points this year, as Tom O’Brien’s team has scored at least 27 points in every other game this year. Maryland scored just seven points against the Tigers and has averaged 31 points per game. That was the fewest points the Terrapins have scored all year. Florida State has averaged 32 points per game and had just 16 against Clemson. That is also the fewest points scored by the Seminoles this year. Auburn scored 27 points in a 27-24 overtime win against Clemson in September. That is the third-lowest point total of the season for the SEC Tigers. They scored just 24 points in regulation. Each of the last six opponents have failed to reach their total offense average against Clemson, while each of the last four have failed to reach their rushing yardage average. Each of the last four opponents have failed to reach 100 rushing yards against the Tigers as well. As you can see by the chart below, only Miami (FL) has reached its season average in terms of scoring against Clemson. Miami has averaged 27 points per game this year and scored 30 against Clemson. In terms of rushing, only Boston College has reached its season average against Clemson. The Eagles have averaged 133 yards per game on the ground this year and had 169 against Clemson. Clemson’s defense held South Carolina to 95 rushing yards, 60 yards under its average for the season. A big reason was Clemson’s ability to shut down freshman AllAmerican Marcus Lattimore, who had just 48 yards on 23 carries (2.1 yards per carry). That is the fewest yards-percarry figure for Lattimore in 2010.

Clemson Strong on Pass Defense Clemson has had another top-25 season in terms of pass defense. The Tigers are 25th in the nation in pass efficiency defense (114.0). DeAndre McDaniel has four interceptions to lead the team and also leads the defense in tackles (73). The Tigers held Georgia Tech to 6-19 passing for 83 yards. The Yellow Jackets had an efficiency rating of 75.1 in the game. Clemson held #23 N.C. State to 83 passing yards under its per-game average. This is no surprise considering Clemson has been among the top 25 in the nation in pass efficiency defense each of the last seven years.

Defense Has Been Strong in the Last Seven Weeks Clemson’s defense has been strong all year, but especially effective in the last seven games. In the last seven games, Clemson has allowed just 14.9 points per game, 4.7 yards per play, and 3.2 yards per carry. The Tigers have improved their defense in the red zone and on third down. Clemson has allowed opponents to convert on third down just 35.8 percent of the time and has allowed just six touchdowns in 17 red-zone possessions in the last seven games. Opponents scored touchdowns in 12 of 17 opportunities during the first five games of 2010. Clemson allowed 14 touchdowns in the first five games, but it has allowed just eight in the last seven games. That includes two offensive touchdowns by South Carolina. One was on a five-yard drive after a Tiger fumble.

Best All-Around Special Teams Game? Clemson suffered a 30-21 loss to #16 Miami (FL) on October 2, but one positive area was special teams. Clemson was facing a Hurricane team that entered the game in the top 10 in the nation in both punt returns and kickoff returns. The Hurricanes had returned a punt and a kickoff for a touchdown earlier in the year against Ohio State. However, Clemson’s coverage units held the Hurricanes to just one yard on four punt returns and a 19-yard average on four kickoff returns. In terms of net punting, Clemson averaged 46.0 per punt and had two punts inside the 20. Dawson Zimmerman also had three punts of at least 50 yards. Clemson averaged 14.6 yards per punt return and 23.8 yards per kickoff return, including a 50-yard return by Marcus Gilchrist, in the game. Additionally, Clemson had a blocked extra point by senior defensive tackle Jarvis Jenkins, the first blocked kick Matt Bosher’s career. Three Games Without a Turnover Clemson went three consecutive games without a turnover, a first in school history. The Tigers did not have a turnover at North Carolina or in the home wins over Maryland and Georgia Tech. The streak reached 238 consecutive offensive plays before Kyle Parker threw an interception at Boston College. Clemson has committed 21 turnovers in 2010, but 15 of them took place in four games, six against #16 Miami (FL), three at Boston College, three against #23 N.C. State, and three against #17 South Carolina. Clemson was 1-3 in those four games. The Tigers have committed 62 turnovers in Dabo Swinney’s 33 games as head coach (1.9 per game). Clemson has outscored the opposition 51-46 in terms of points off turnovers this year. Twenty-six of the 46 opponent points off turnovers took place in two games, losses to #16 Miami (FL) and #17 South Carolina. In six of the 12 games, opponents did not record a single point off a Tiger turnover. Clemson has a 6-3 record under Swinney when it does not commit a turnover. That is not a very good record in that situation when you see that Clemson was 48-10 (.828) in turnoverless games from 1980 until he became head coach in 2008. Clemson was 3-1 in games it did not have a turnover in 2009, with the only loss coming to #14 TCU by a score of 14-10. The school record for games without a turnover in a season is five (1988,94). Clemson was 4-1 in 1988 in games without a turnover and 3-2 in 1994. Therefore, one more game without a turnover this year will tie that record. Tiger Staff Has Experience Clemson has an experienced staff. The 10 coaches have a combined 169 years of coaching experience at the Division I level as full-time coaches. Those coaches have been to a combined 123 bowl games and have won a combined 17 conference titles. Four of the coaches have been on a staff that has won a national title. Kevin Steele was on a national championship staff at Nebraska, Dan Brooks at Tennessee, Danny Pearman at Alabama, and Brad Scott at Florida State. That list of national championship coaches does not include Dabo Swinney, but he played on a national championship team at Alabama. Woody McCorvey was on the 33 Bowl Appearances

Seniors Establishing Marks Clemson’s 2010 seniors have accomplished quite a bit with 31 wins in the books. This group (20 seniors) enjoyed playing in Death Valley and had a 21-7 record (.750) in the last four years at home. That percentage is ahead of Clemson’s all-time winning percentage of 71 percent at home. The group has also recorded 12 wins over teams who finished the season with a winning record and 15 wins over teams that have played in bowl games, including three this year (Georgia Tech, Maryland, N.C. State). The Tigers have averaged 28 points per game on offense and have given up 19 points per game on defense for an average victory margin of nine points per game over the four years. In ACC play, the team has had a break-even-or-better record each year, including winning the ACC Atlantic Division title in 2009 when Clemson had a 6-2 conference mark, tied for the best for the Clemson program since 1991. In 2007 and 2009, this class experienced a final top-25 ranking and won nine games, tied for the most victories for the program since 1990. A victory in the bowl game would make this senior class the first to win bowl games in each of their last two years since the seniors of 1990. 2010 Tiger Seniors # Player Pos.

Tigers Have a Young Team Clemson will take a young team to the Meineke Car Care Bowl. The Tigers will start 19 underclassmen in the 24 starting positions. The Tigers will start nine underclassmen on offense and eight on defense, plus the punter and the placekicker are underclassmen. In 2011, Clemson is expected to return four starters on the offensive line, two starters in the offensive backfield,

33 Bowl Appearances

and three starters at the receiver positions (including tight end). In terms of the defense, the Tigers will lose starting defensive tackle Jarvis Jenkins, safety DeAndre McDaniel, and cornerback Marcus Gilchrist. Defensive end Da’Quan Bowers is a junior who was a first-team All-American this year. He will decide if he will enter the NFL draft after the season. In terms of statistics, Clemson will return each of the top-three rushers and players who have accounted for 95 percent of the rushing yards. Each of the top eight receivers will return next year as well as players who have accounted for 95 percent of the receiving yards. Quarterback Kyle Parker will move on to a professional baseball career even though he has two years of eligibility remaining, and offensive tackle Chris Hairston is a graduate who will move on to pursue a professional career. First-Year Freshmen Clemson played three first-year freshmen in the season-opening game against North Texas. Wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, defensive back Martin Jenkins, and linebacker Justin Parker all saw action. A fourth, Darius Robinson, played against Presbyterian College.

Eleven Original Walk-ons on Scholarship Clemson has 11 original walk-ons on scholarship for the 2010 season. The Tigers have had some walk-ons who have gone on to be very successful as scholarship players. Defensive tackle Rob Bodine, who went on to earn firstteam All-America honors on Clemson’s 1991 ACC Championship team, was inducted into the Clemson Hall of Fame. He had a national-best 27 tackles for loss in 1991. Original Tiger Walk-ons on Scholarship # Player Pos. Cl. Hometown 87 Terrance Ashe WR *Gr. Cheraw, SC 45 Daniel Barnes RB *Gr.

10 Tigers Stuck in Elevator Before Georgia Tech Game It did not look like October 23 was going to be a good day for the Tigers. At 9:00 AM on the day of Clemson’s 3:30 PM game with Georgia Tech on October 23, a fire alarm went off due to a kitchen fire at the team hotel in Anderson, SC. Then around 11:30 AM, 10 Tigers, mostly linemen, became stuck in a hotel elevator. They were on the way to pregame meal. It took 45 minutes to get the players out of the elevator. Local firefighters were called in and they had to break the door open to get the players out. Head Coach Dabo Swinney had the situation under control. “I told the guys to calm down. If they can get 33 miners out of that shaft in Chile, we can get 10 Clemson football players out of an elevator in Anderson, SC.” It is the second time on record that Clemson has had someone stuck in an elevator the day of a game. Prior to the 1982 Orange Bowl victory over Nebraska, Clemson junior running back Cliff Austin was stuck in the elevator at the team hotel for over an hour. He later scored a touchdown in the night-game victory that gave Clemson its only national title. Six Graduates on Team During Regular Season Clemson had six graduates on the 2010 team during the regular season. The list of Tigers who had a cap and gown insignia on their helmets during the regular season to show they were graduates are Terrance Ashe, Daniel Barnes, Chris Hairston, Richard Jackson, Byron Maxwell, and Michael Wade. Eight more Tigers earned their degrees on December 16. They include Brandon Clear, Xavier Dye, Brock Henderson, Shawn Leonard-Horwith, DeAndre McDaniel, Kasey Nobles, Ben Ramsey, and John Wright.

Clemson in the Top 20 Nationally in Home Attendance Clemson averaged 75,786 fans per home game this year, a figure that is 18th-best in the nation according to the NCAA website through the end of the regular season. It will mark the 30th consecutive year Clemson has finished in the top 20 in the nation in average attendance. The streak started in 1981, the year Clemson won the national title, when Clemson finished 20th with an average of 61,859 fans per game. The Tigers finished 17th in the nation in average attendance in 2009 with 75,793 fans per game, so it was a decrease of just seven fans per game over the 2009 season. The 2010 season marks the 12th consecutive year Clemson averaged at least 75,000 fans per home game. Clemson also led the ACC in average attendance this year, while Florida State was second with just over 71,000 fans per home game.

2010 Meineke Car Care Bowl


Bowl Notes Three Former Tigers Score NFL TDs on One Day Former Tigers Jacoby Ford, Michael Palmer, and Chansi Stuckey all scored touchdowns in NFL games on November 7. It was the first career scores for Ford and Palmer, teammates on Clemson’s 2009 ACC Atlantic Division Championship team. Ford scored on a 94-yard kickoff return for the Oakland Raiders against the Kansas City Chiefs. It was the opening kickoff of the second half and gave the Raiders the lead. Ford finished with four kickoff returns for 158 yards and also had six receptions for 148 yards. His 29-yard reception with only seconds left set up a 41-yard field goal by Sebastian Janikowski that sent the game into overtime. His 47-yard reception in overtime set up Janikowski’s game-winning 33-yard field goal in overtime. Ford led the Raiders in receiving with 148 yards and finished the day with 306 all-purpose yards. He became just the second player in NFL history to have at least 140 receiving yards and 150 yards on kickoff returns in the same game. Ford is the second former Tiger to return a kickoff for a touchdown this year. In September, C.J. Spiller returned a kickoff 95 yards for a score at New England. It marked just the second time in the last 40 years that two rookies from the same school returned a kickoff for a touchdown in the same year. Palmer scored on a five-yard reception from Matt Ryan for the Atlanta Falcons in their 27-21 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Palmer finished the game with two receptions for 11 yards. There was a bit of irony in Palmer hauling in the pass from Ryan. Ryan was the quarterback for Boston College, an ACC rival, when Palmer was a freshman and sophomore. Stuckey scored on an 11-yard run for the Cleveland Browns against the New England Patriots in the Browns’ 34-14 upset victory. It was just the second loss of the season for the Patriots. Charlie Whitehurst started at quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks against the New York Giants. It was Whitehurst’s first career start, as he completed 12-23 passes for 113 yards and a touchdown. Whitehurst became the first former Tiger to start at quarterback in an NFL game since November 3, 1986, when Steve Fuller of the Chicago Bears started against the Los Angeles Rams. With Whitehurst’s touchdown pass, it meant that a former Tiger accounted for a touchdown rushing (Stuckey), receiving (Palmer), passing (Whitehurst), and on a kickoff return (Ford) on the same day. 2010 NFL Tigers # Player Pos.

Four Tigers Named First-Team All-ACC Four Tigers, including three starters from the ACC’s leading scoring defense, were named First-Team All-ACC. The team was released by the Atlantic Coast Sports Media Association in late November. Junior defensive end Da’Quan Bowers, senior safety DeAndre McDaniel, and senior defensive tackle Jarvis Jenkins were all named First-Team All-ACC from the Clemson unit that is tied for ninth in the nation in scoring defense. Clemson had more first-team selections to the All-ACC defensive team than any other school. It is the first time that the Tigers have had three firstteam selections on defense since the 2000 season and the first time Clemson has had four total first-team selections since 2007. Graduate offensive tackle Chris Hairston was the only Tiger on offense to earn First-Team All-ACC honors. Sophomore tight end Dwayne Allen was a Second-Team All-ACC selection. Clemson and Maryland had the most first-team selections with four apiece, while Boston College, Miami (FL), and Virginia Tech all had three apiece. Bowers is first in the nation in sacks (15.5) and second in tackles for loss (25). McDaniel was named First-Team All-ACC for the second consecutive year. He had a team-high four interceptions. His 15 career interceptions are third-most among active FBS players and second-most in school history. He has a team-high 73 tackles in 2010 as well. Jenkins has been a key to Clemson’s defensive front this year. He has 51 tackles, nine tackles for loss, and 16 quarterback pressures. Hairston is Clemson’s top offensive lineman. A Second-Team All-ACC selection in 2009, he has provided holes for running backs Andre Ellington and Jamie Harper, who have combined for 1,412 rushing yards and 21 touchdowns this year. Allen has 31 receptions for 356 yards, second-most on the team. His reception total is the most in school history by a sophomore tight end. Bowers & Ellington Honored Defensive end Da’Quan Bowers was named one of two national defensive players-of-the-week by the College Football Performance Awards website for games of October 16. Bowers had three sacks in Clemson’s win over Maryland. J.J. Watts of Wisconsin was also honored by the website. Running back Andre Ellington was honored by the same website as the national kickoff returner-of-theweek. Bowers added four tackles for loss among his six tackles in leading Clemson’s defense in a 31-7 win over Maryland. All three of his sacks were in key third-down situations. The biggest took place in the second quarter. With Clemson leading 10-7, Maryland had the ball on the Clemson seven with a third-and-one. Bowers ran by two players assigned to block him and sacked Danny O’Brien to force Maryland into a field-goal attempt, which it missed, allowing Clemson to hold the lead. Bowers’ sack total against Maryland was a career high, as he became the first Tiger since 2001 to record three sacks in a game. Bryant McNeal had three against Duke that year. Ellington had two kickoff returns for 122 yards, including an 87-yarder for a touchdown in the second quarter that turned the game in Clemson’s favor. The Tigers trailed 7-3 when Ellington took it all the way back for a score, giving Clemson a 10-7 lead. Clemson would not trail the rest of the game. Ellington also had 41 yards and a touchdown on the ground.

Harper & Ellington Combine 1,412 Rushing Yards While only one will be on display at the Meineke Car Care Bowl, Clemson has had a strong running combination this year with Andre Ellington and Jamie Harper. Known as “The New Storm,” after Clemson’s previous combination of C.J. Spiller and James Davis was known as “Thunder & Lightning,” Ellington and Harper have combined for 1,412 yards on 295 carries and 16 rushing touchdowns this year. Ellington has missed three complete games and played just three snaps in another due to a toe injury suffered at Boston College. He enters the bowl season third in the ACC in all-purpose yards per game and is sixth in rushing yards per game. He has 12 touchdowns, tied for second-most in the ACC. He will not play in the bowl game after having surgery on December 13. Harper, who will start at running back, has six rushing touchdowns and three receiving touchdowns for nine total touchdowns, second-most on the team and tied for eighth-most in the ACC. That gives Ellington and Harper 21 total touchdowns between them this year. Harper is first on the team in all-purpose yards (1,077), including 1,034 yards from scrimmage, also a team-high. Ellington has 1,033 all-purpose yards, including 238 yards on kickoff returns. He has a 34-yard average on seven kickoff returns this year, including an 87-yard kickoff return for a score against Maryland. Swinney Third Nationally in APR According to research compiled by the website NCAAFootball.FanHouse.com off data provided by the NCAA, Head Coach Dabo Swinney is third in the nation in terms of APR scores for the Clemson program since he took over as head coach in 2008. The website captured data for the entering classes from 2003-04 through 200809, but is specific to each coach. In 2003, the NCAA created the APR to monitor academic progress of its member institutions. The APR is a formula that takes into account semester-by-semester academic progress in terms of eligibility and retention rates for each scholarship student-athlete. The study includes APR scores at previous schools for a head coach who changes jobs. Swinney’s program has had an APR score of 982 for his three years as head coach (2008 season was included in the study), trailing only the 985 by Troy Calhoun (Air Force) and Pat Fitzgerald (Northwestern). Greg Schiano (Rutgers) is fourth at 981 and Paul Johnson (Georgia Tech) is fifth at 980. Top APR Scores of Active FBS Head Coaches Rk Head Coach School 1.

Scott in 12th Season at Clemson Associate Head Coach and Offensive Guards & Centers Coach Brad Scott is in his 12th season as an assistant coach at Clemson. He is tied for ninth in school history in terms of longest tenured assistant coaches. The record is held by Bob Jones, who coached 30 years under Frank Howard from 1940-69. Banks McFadden coached for 25 years under Howard and Goat McMillan coached for 24 years. Bob Smith was with Howard for 20 years. Scott came to Clemson in 1999 when Tommy Bowden was hired as head coach. He served as tight ends coach 33 Bowl Appearances

Allen on John Mackey Award Midseason Watch List Tight end Dwayne Allen was named one of 22 Midseason Watch List candidates for the 2010 John Mackey Award, the honor that goes to the top tight end in college football. Allen was one of three ACC players on the list, including George Bryan (N.C. State) and Zack Pianalto (North Carolina). Allen, one of just three sophomores on the list, is tied for second on the team with 31 catches for 356 yards and a touchdown. He had five catches for 66 yards at #15 Auburn and a career-high-tying seven receptions for 55 yards at North Carolina. He also had seven catches for 57 yards at Boston College. His receiving total is the most ever by a Clemson sophomore tight end. He was named Second-Team All-ACC at the conclusion of the regular season. Benton Already Has Kicker Tackle Record Placekicker Spencer Benton has six special teams tackles this year and 15 in his career. He is just a sophomore and has played only 26 games. He is already Clemson’s career leader in tackles by a kicker. All 15 of his tackles have taken place on kickoffs. Benton’s nine tackles on kickoff returns last year were a single-season record (special teams tackles date to 1986) and more than twice the previous record of four set by Stephen Furr (2002) and Mark Buchholz (2007). Benton has three touchbacks in 60 kickoffs this year, but 17 times the Tigers have held their opponent inside the 21 to start a drive. He is a big reason Clemson has a 4.6-yard advantage when it comes to starting a drive after a kickoff. Tiger opponents have started on average at their own 26 after a kickoff, while Clemson has started at its own 30 on average. Bowers Wins Hendricks Award & Nagurski Award Junior defensive end Da’Quan Bowers won the Ted Hendricks Award and Bronko Nagurski Award this year. The Hendricks Award goes to the top defensive end in the nation, while the Nagurski Award goes to the most outstanding defensive player in the nation. Bowers is the first Tiger to win either award and the first Tiger to win more than one national award in the same year. The only other Tiger to win a national position award is Terry Kinard, who was named CBS National Defensive Player-of-the-Year in 1982. “Da’Quan Bowers is an excellent choice for this year’s winner,” said Ted Hendricks, whom the award is named after. “I like the way he plays the run because he really manhandles his opponents. This is an individual who possesses sheer natural talent. In the past, some have questioned his pass-rush abilities, but he’s the nation’s sack leader this year. Any more questions? Da’Quan clearly impressed

our selection committee members, and I think they have made another fine choice.” Bowers was also a finalist for the Bednarik Award and Lombardi Award, and he was a first-team All-American according to all major services. Bowers leads the nation in sacks (15.5) and is second in tackles for loss (25). His sack total is second-best in Clemson history and is the most by an ACC player since 1999, when Keith Adams had a Tigerrecord 16 sacks. Bowers’ tackle-for-loss total is the most by a Clemson defensive lineman since 1991, when Rob Bodine had 27. Bowers had a streak of nine straight games involved in a sack during this season, the longest streak in Clemson history. Bowers was also named ACC Defensive Player-of-theYear. Bowers a Unanimous All-American Defensive end Da’Quan Bowers was named a firstteam All-American by Sporting News. The selection made Bowers a unanimous first-team All-American for 2010, just the fourth Tiger in history to be named a unanimous first-team All-American and the first junior to do it. Earlier this season, he was named first-team by AP, AFCA, Football Writers Association, and Walter Camp Foundation. Those are the five major All-America teams recognized by the NCAA when it selects its consensus and unanimous All-America teams. Bowers was also named a first-team All-American by CBSSports.com, College Football News, Phil Steele, Rivals.com, Scout.com, and SI.com. Bowers joined Terry Kinard (1982), Gaines Adams (2006), and C.J. Spiller (2009) as the only unanimous firstteam All-Americans in Clemson history. Bowers was one of 10 unanimous first-team All-Americans this year. The others are Prince Amukamara (CB) of Nebraska, Justin Blackmon (WR) of Oklahoma State, Gabe Carimi (OL) of Wisconsin, Rodney Hudson (OL) of Florida State, LaMichael James (RB) of Oregon, Greg Jones (LB) of Michigan State, Ryan Kerrigan (DE) of Purdue, Luke Kuechly (LB) of Boston College, and Patrick Peterson (DB) of Louisiana State. Bowers could be considered the most honored Clemson player in history for a single season. He became the first Tiger to win the Hendricks Award and Nagurski Award. The Nagurski Award is selected by the Football Writers Association and goes to the top defensive player in the nation. The Hendricks Award goes to the top defensive end in college football. Bowers was also a finalist for the Bednarik Award and Lombardi Award. He was named ACC Defensive Player-ofthe-Year as well. Bowers leads the nation in sacks (15.5) and is second in tackles for loss (25). His sack total is second-best in Clemson history, including best among defensive linemen, and is the most by an ACC player since 1999, when Keith Adams had a Tiger-record 16 sacks. Bowers had a streak of nine consecutive games with a sack, a school record. He is second on the team in tackles (67). Clemson is tied for ninth in the nation in scoring defense and tied for second in fewest rushing touchdowns allowed (6). Bowers’ tackle-for-loss total is the most by a Tiger defensive lineman since 1991, when Rob Bodine had 27. Bowers had a streak of nine straight games with a sack in 2010, the longest streak in school history. Bowers Moving Up ACC Sack List Junior defensive end Da’Quan Bowers has 15.5 sacks in 2010, just a half a sack short of the Clemson single-season record. His total is also seventh-best in ACC history for one season. The ACC record is 19 by Peter Boulware (Florida State) in 1996. The national record is 24 by Terrell Suggs (Arizona State) in 2002 (NCAA has kept defensive stats as an official stat since 1999).

vs.

Bowers’ 15.5 sacks are the most by any ACC player since 1999, when Clemson’s Keith Adams had 16. Bowers needs one sack to go past the total Lawrence Taylor (North Carolina) had in 1980 when he was ACC Player-of-the-Year. Bowers already owns the Clemson single-season sack record for a defensive lineman, three more than Gaines Adams had in 2006. Bowers was named a finalist for four national awards and won two, the Ted Hendricks Award and Bronko Nagurski Award.

Catanzaro Accurate from Long Range Freshman placekicker Chandler Catanzaro is 12-19 on field goals this year, good for 63.2 percent. However, he is 5-7 on field-goal tries of 40+ yards, good for 71.4 percent. That is the best field-goal percentage on kicks of 40+ yards since 2001, when Aaron Hunt was 5-5 from 40+ yards. Given a minimum of five field-goal attempts, Catanzaro’s 71.4-percent figure is sixth-best in school history from 40+ yards. Hunt and Donald Igwebuike own the record (100 percent).

Ellington Reaches 1,000 Rushing Yards Sophomore running back Andre Ellington went over the 1,000-yard rushing mark for his career when he scored on a 55-yard run against Georgia Tech on October 23. He reached the 1,000-yard mark on his 151st carry. That is the second-fewest carries needed to reach 1,000 yards in school history. C.J. Spiller reached 1,000 yards in just 142 carries, so that remains the school record. Ellington had 491 yards on 68 carries last year as Spiller’s backup. Ellington had 107 rushing yards against the Miami (FL) defense on October 2. That effort included a 71-yard run, the longest by a Tiger since Spiller went 83 yards against Auburn in the 2007 Chick-fil-A Bowl. Ellington has had four 100-yard games in 2010, including 140 yards at #15 Auburn on September 18.

Ellington Records Multiple Career Highs Andre Ellington had a career-high 166 yards in 20 carries and a career-high 257 all-purpose yards to go with three touchdowns in leading Clemson to a 27-13 win over Georgia Tech on October 23. The rushing total and all-purpose total were the most by a Tiger since C.J. Spiller had 233 rushing yards and 301 all-purpose yards against the same Georgia Tech team in the 2009 ACC Championship game. Ellington had touchdown runs of 55 and 42 yards, giving him four touchdowns of 42 yards or more on scrimmage plays, the same amount of running plays for touchdowns from that distance that Spiller had last year. Ellington has 686 yards on 117 carries for the year, a 5.9-yard average, and 10 rushing touchdowns. He also has a receiving touchdown and a kickoff return for a score, giving him 12 touchdowns this year, second-most in he ACC. Gilchrist a Standout in the Return Game Senior Marcus Gilchrist has had a standout year in terms of kick returns. A starting cornerback by trade, Gilchrist has averaged 10.1 yards per punt return and 25.3 yards per kickoff return. He is second in the ACC in kickoff returns and third in punt returns. He is the only ACC player in the top three in the ACC in both categories. Averaging at least 10 yards per punt return and 25 yards per kickoff return is quite an accomplishment. He is just the sixth Tiger in history to do both in the same year, given a minimum of at least 10 returns in both categories. All six years it has happened have come since 1995.

Hall Takes One to the House Sophomore safety Rashard Hall scored his first touchdown as a Tiger in the 16-10 loss at Boston College on October 30. He returned an interception 52 yards for a score in the first quarter to give Clemson a 7-0 lead. It was the eighth interception of his career and second this year. Hall was the second Clemson defender to score in a three-week period. Xavier Brewer returned an interception 61 yards for a touchdown in Clemson’s 31-7 win over Maryland on October 16. Three active Tiger defensive backs have scored touchdowns in their careers. Senior safety DeAndre McDaniel has a pair of scores in his career. As a sophomore, he returned a fumble 28 yards for a touchdown against Nebraska in the 2009 Gator Bowl. In 2009, he returned an interception 23 yards for a score at #8 Miami (FL). Since Dabo Swinney has been Clemson’s head coach (33-game period dating to October 18, 2008), Clemson has 11 touchdowns on returns (one fumble, five kickoff, two punt, three interception). Harper’s Consecutive 140-Yard Rushing Games Junior running back Jamie Harper has carried the ball for the Clemson offense at running back literally and figuratively over the last quarter of the 2010 season.

mate Andre Ellington suffered a toe injury at Boston College and played just three snaps over the last four games due to that injury. Ellington will not play in the bowl game. Harper has been outstanding, especially during recent games. In a loss at Florida State, Harper had 143 yards on 27 carries and finished with 197 yards from scrimmage, including 54 receiving yards on nine receptions. He followed that up with 142 yards on 24 carries in the win at Wake Forest and added 39 yards on three catches for 181 yards from scrimmage. His day included a 63-yard run for a touchdown in the fourth quarter. He was the game’s leading rusher against #17 South Carolina with 58 yards on 16 carries, 10 yards more than South Carolina’s Marcus Lattimore had in seven more carries. Harper became the first Tiger to rush for at least 140 yards in consecutive games since 2005, when James Davis had 145 rushing yards at South Carolina in the regularseason finale and 150 rushing yards against Colorado in the Champs Sports Bowl. Harper has a team-high 726 rushing yards this year and 308 receiving yards for 1,034 yards from scrimmage, most on the team. Harper Catching Passes Out of Backfield Junior running back Jamie Harper is known for his ability to catch the ball out of the backfield. He has 31 catches for 308 yards and three scores this season. The 31 catches are sixth-most in a season by a running back in school history. The record is 45 by Travis Zachery in 2001. C.J. Spiller had 36 catches in 2009, so it is an indication of how strong a year Harper has had in this area. Harper had nine catches for 54 yards at Florida State. The nine catches set a Clemson single-game record.

Hopkins Leads Receivers as a Freshman Freshman wideout DeAndre Hopkins is Clemson’s leading receiver this year with 43 receptions for 532 yards and four touchdowns. He leads the team in all three categories. Hopkins has come on strong the last four games. During that time, he has 25 catches for 346 yards and three of his four touchdowns. He has had two 100-yard receiving games in that time period, 106 yards at Florida State and 124 yards against #17 South Carolina. Hopkins’ 43 receptions are third-most in Clemson history among all freshmen and most among first-year freshmen. His yardage figure is also best among first-year freshman in school history and third among all freshmen. Hopkins is 10 catches short of Derrick Hamilton’s freshman reception record and 153 yards behind his freshman receiving yardage mark. Hopkins, who was a third-team freshman All-American by Phil Steele, will likely be the first Tiger freshman to lead the team in receptions since 2001, when Hamilton had 53 catches. Prior to that, you have to go back to 1990, when the late Terry Smith had 34 catches to lead a team that finished the year with a 10-2 record. Hopkins is the nephew of Smith.

Jenkins Sets Clemson Career Record Senior defensive tackle Jarvis Jenkins set a school record for blocked kicks in a career when he blocked a field goal in the 14-13 win over #23 N.C. State. It was his second block of the year and fourth of his career, as he also had a blocked extra point against #16 Miami (FL) in 2010. It was the first career miss on an extra point by Matt Bosher. Jenkins had the last blocked kick by Clemson in 2009 when he blocked a field goal at South Carolina. Jenkins also had a blocked extra point in 2008 against N.C. State. The previous record by a Tiger was three. Mitch Belton (1988-90), and Brian Dawkins (1992-95), and Leomont Evans (1992-95) also had three blocked kicks in their careers. Maxwell Chasing Special Teams Tackle Record Graduate cornerback Byron Maxwell has been one of the program’s top tacklers over the last few years. He has shown his abilities on scrimmage plays and special teams. Maxwell has seven special teams tackles this year and 44 for his career. He is just three shy of tying the Clemson career record of 47 held by Chad Speck, who played for the Tigers from 1997-00. Maxwell had one special teams tackle as a freshman, a team-high 21 in 2008 as a sophomore, and 15 as a junior in 2009. He has seven in 2010. Maxwell is one of the top hitters on Clemson’s defense. He has six career caused fumbles, tied for the most among active Tigers. McDaniel Chasing Interception Record Senior safety DeAndre McDaniel had his fourth interception of the season in the win over #23 N.C. State on November 6. It was a clutch pick in the endzone off of Russell Wilson. The Wolfpack had recovered a fumble at the Clemson seven, but the interception denied N.C. State a score. That was the 15th interceptions of McDaniel’s career. He is tied for second in school history with his 15 picks and is just two short of Terry Kinard’s Clemson career record of 17 set between 1978-82. Kinard is in the Clemson Ring of Honor and College Football Hall of Fame. Kinard is tied with Fred Knoebel, a two-sport star in the early 1950s, for second place. McDaniel is also third in the nation in career interceptions among active FBS players. Clemson Career Leaders in Interceptions Rk Player, Pos. Years Yards Avg. 1. Terry Kinard, FS 1978-82 147 8.6 2.

Parker Has Improved in Second Half of Season Sophomore Kyle Parker has shown improvement over the course of 2010. In the last six games, he has completed 108-173 passes (62.4 percent). He has passed for 1,107 yards (184.5 per game) during that stretch. Parker began the second half of the 2010 schedule by completing 17-27 passes for 167 yards and a touchdown in the 27-13 victory over Georgia Tech, who had beaten Clemson twice in 2009. In the win over #23 N.C. State, Parker completed 20-29 passes for 214 yards and a touchdown, as he won a head-to-head battle with N.C. State quarterback Russell Wilson. Both Parker and Wilson were drafted by the Colorado Rockies last June. Parker was drafted in the first round and Wilson was picked in the fourth round. Parker also completed 28-44 for 239 yards at Florida State in a narrow 16-13 loss in Tallahassee, then completed 15-17 passes for 194 yards and two scores in a win at Wake Forest. Parker had a 222.9 passing efficiency figure in that game, his career-best given a minimum of 15 attempts.

Only 16 of his 56 punts have been returned this year for a total of 92 yards. Eighteen of his punts have been inside the 20 and just seven have resulted in touchbacks. At one point, he went five consecutive games without allowing a punt return yard. Zimmerman’s season has included two punts of at least 76 yards. He had a 79-yarder in the season-opener against North Texas, the second-longest punt in Clemson history, and a 76-yarder at Boston College, the fourth-longest punt in Tiger history. He had a 51.5-yard average on six punts against North Texas, the best performance in the nation that week. His biggest play of the season might have come against #23 N.C. State on a 38-yard punt. Zimmerman snagged an errant snap with the one hand with the game on the line in the fourth quarter and got a rugby-style punt off that traveled to the N.C. State 15. Clemson won the game by a score of 14-13. Head Coach Dabo Swinney presented Zimmerman with a gameball after the contest for that play. Clemson Single-Season Leaders in Net Punting Rk Player Year 1.

Zimmerman Semifinalist for Ray Guy Award Junior punter Dawson Zimmerman was named one of 10 semifinalists for the Ray Guy Award, the honor presented each year to the nation’s top punter. The Ray Guy Award is presented by the Augusta Sports Council. Zimmerman was the only ACC punter in the top 10. Zimmerman has averaged 42.6 yards on 56 punts this year. But his net punting figure of 41.0 (not including touchbacks) is what is remarkable. That is on pace to be the second-best figure in Clemson history. Only Dale Hatcher’s 42.4-yard net average in 1984 is better.

Head Coach Dabo Swinney At 41, Dabo Swinney is the youngest head coach in the ACC and one of the youngest in the country. However, his resumé is already stuffed with many significant accomplishments on a school, ACC, and national level. First, his mere appointment to the position was significant. In October of 2008, he was named Clemson interim head coach, replacing Tommy Bowden, who had been his position coach as a player at Alabama and been Clemson’s head coach since 1999. He led the Tigers to a 4-2 record over the remainder of the regular season, including a victory over Steve Spurrier’s South Carolina Gamecocks in the regular-season finale. That strong finish led to a Gator Bowl bid against Nebraska. On December 1, 2008, the interim tag was removed from the title and he was named the program’s head coach. At the time, there had been 28 interim head coaches at the FBS level since 1970 and those coaches had combined for a record of 26-86-2. Only one of those 28 interim coaches posted a winning record, and that was Swinney. When he was hired as the head coach, Swinney became just the second interim coach to be elevated to the head coach position at the same school during that time period. In addition to leading the Clemson program to three bowl games on the field in his young career, his players have also excelled in the classroom. In his career as a head coach, his players have an APR score of 982, third-best among active FBS level coaches and best in the conference. Clemson has had to replace three First-Team All-ACC position players in 2010, as Jacoby Ford, Michael Palmer, and C.J. Spiller moved on to the NFL. It is the first year since 1956 that Clemson had to replace three First-Team All-ACC skill position players in the same year. All three players have done well in the NFL in 2010, further showing their talent level. Swinney will be just the second Clemson coach to lead the Tiger program into a bowl game in his first two full years as head coach, joining his predecessor, Tommy Bowden. The 2010 schedule is one of the most challenging in school history, as nine bowl teams are on the slate and two of the four non-conference opponents were ranked in the top 25 when they played the Tigers, just the second time in 21 years the Tigers faced two top-25 nonconference opponents in the regular season. The 2010 season has included wins over bowl teams Georgia Tech, Maryland, and N.C. State. The Wolfpack was ranked #23 in the nation and was leading the ACC in scor-

ing. But the Clemson defense held N.C. State to just one touchdown and 13 points. The team excelled defensively in 2010 and is tied for ninth in the nation in scoring defense and in the top 25 in both total defense and pass defense. Spiller was a unanimous first-team All-American in Swinney’s first year, and defensive end Da’Quan Bowers has duplicated the feat on the defensive side of the ball. The junior won the 2010 Bronko Nagurski Award as the nation’s top defensive player, and he received the Ted Hendricks Award as the top defensive end. He was also a finalist for the Bednarik Award and Lombardi Award. He leads the nation in sacks (15.5) and is second in tackles for loss (25). Bowers is one of four First-Team All-ACC players in 2010, as he is joined by DeAndre McDaniel (S) and Jarvis Jenkins (DT) on defense and Chris Hairston (OT) on offense. Clemson and Maryland had the most First-Team All-ACC selections. In 2009, Swinney’s first full year as head coach, he led the Tigers to their first championship of the ACC’s Atlantic Division. The Tigers came just six points short of winning their first ACC title in 18 years. Swinney was named ACC Coach-of-the-Year by Sporting News and was a finalist for the Liberty Mutual Coach-of-the-Year award. Swinney accumulated nine wins, second-most among all FBS coaches in their first full year behind Oregon’s Chip Kelly. The nine wins tied for fourth-most in ACC history for a first-year head coach. He also led the Tigers to their first bowl win since 2005 in the 21-13 victory over Kentucky in the Music City Bowl. The Tigers reached the nine-win mark playing a schedule that included four games against top-15 opponents, just the second year in school history (1999 was the other) that Clemson played four games against teams ranked in the top 15 of the AP poll. The Tigers’ three FBS non-conference opponents had a combined record of 2910 in 2009. Clemson gave TCU one of its stiffest tests in a 14-10 Horned Frog victory on September 26. Swinney’s first season included a six-game winning streak at midseason, a streak that saw the Tigers score at least 34 points in every game, a first in school history. During that stretch, the Tigers defeated #8 Miami (FL) on the road. The 40-37 overtime victory tied for the highestranked team Clemson has defeated on the road in school history. That was the second of six straight wins, the longest winning streak for the Clemson program in four years. The streak also included a 40-24 nationally-televised win over Florida State and Bobby Bowden, the Hall of Fame coach who is second in victories in FBS history. The winning streak brought Clemson to a #15 national ranking in the AP poll after the ACC Atlantic Division clinching victory over Virginia on November 21. The Tigers had success on offense, defense, and special teams during the 2009 season. They were 28th in the nation and third in the ACC in scoring offense (31.1), while the defense was 20th in total defense (314.3) and seventh in pass defense (162.8). Clemson finished in a tie for fifth in the country in interceptions (21) as well. Clemson added a school-record six kick returns for touchdowns in 2009, four on kickoff returns and two on punt returns. The main reason Clemson was so outstanding on special teams was the play of college football’s most dynamic player (Spiller) in 2009. The Tiger running back was named MVP of the ACC in 2009 and was a consensus first-team All-American. He had five kick returns for touchdowns during the 2009 season, an all-time Clemson record, and established the NCAA record for kickoff returns for touchdowns in a career with seven. He was also the only FBS player to score at least one touchdown in every game in 2009.

Overall, the Tigers held down three positions on the All-ACC First-Team and five spots on the second team. Only Virginia Tech had more representatives. Swinney became Clemson’s interim head coach on October 13, 2008 when Tommy Bowden stepped down. Then on December 1, 2008, the “interim” tag was removed, as he took over on a full-time basis as the Tigers’ 25th head coach. He had been Clemson’s assistant head coach for two years and had been in charge of the wide receivers since 2003. Swinney took over a 3-3 team and led it to a Gator Bowl bid against Nebraska. He guided Clemson to a 4-1 record over the last five games of the regular season, with the only loss at #24 Florida State. That 4-1 record to end the regular season tied for the best mark in the ACC for that time period. Four of his six regular-season opponents were later bowl participants. Swinney hit the ground running in his first week as interim head coach, as he prepared for a 5-1 Georgia Tech team. He had to re-organize his staff, and regroup his team and Clemson Nation in just five days. While the Tigers lost by four points, he accomplished many goals in that first week through his outstanding leadership. One of the most impressive demonstrations of unity came during the team’s “Tiger Walk.” Prior to the game against the Yellow Jackets, Swinney decided to have his team depart buses outside the Lot 5 parking lot near the WestZone at Memorial Stadium and experience the gameday atmosphere. Dressed in jackets and ties, the team was embraced by thousands of Tiger fans who stood 10 deep for the 200-yard march to the stadium. It was the centerpiece of his “All In” theme in his first week as head coach. It is a tradition that will continue in the future. 2010 Meineke Car Care Bowl


Head Coach Dabo Swinney In his second week as head coach, an off-week, he invited the Clemson student body to a practice, and nearly 1,000 students showed up. He spoke to the group and actually allowed some students to participate during practice, as they were selected to attempt a field goal, punt against a live rush, and field a punt. He also took the entire team to the Greenville Children’s Hospital for a visit with young men and women fighting cancer. He has continued his community involvement through his foundation. His foundation made the first contribution to the cancer fund established for Boston College linebacker Mark Herzlich. Many schools followed his lead the remainder of the season. The Liberty Mutual Coach-of-the-Year award evaluates coaching performances in terms of coaching excellence, sportsmanship, integrity, academic excellence, and community commitment. It is easy to see why Swinney was a national finalist for that award in his first full season as head coach. The 1993 Alabama graduate joined the Clemson staff prior to the 2003 season. In his eight years as an assistant or head coach, the Tigers have finished in the top 25 of the final polls four times and totaled 11 wins over top-25 teams, including victories over Florida State (4), Miami (FL) (2), and Tennessee (1), during his tenure in Tigertown. Swinney coached his wide receiver position to a level of consistency that had not been seen previously at Clemson. He had a wideout finish first or second in the ACC in catches five of the last six years. In his first year, he had three of the top-10 receivers in the ACC, a first in Tiger history. He has coached a First or Second-Team All-ACC wideout every year since 2003 (Derrick Hamilton, Airese Currie, Chansi Stuckey, Aaron Kelly, Ford), also an unprecedented feat at Clemson. In 2004 and 2005, he coached the ACC reception champion (Currie (2004), Stuckey (2005)). It was the first time Clemson had two different players lead the ACC in receptions in consecutive years. In 2007, Kelly led the ACC in yards, giving Swinney an ACC receiving king three out of four years. Stuckey earned First-Team All-ACC honors in back-to-back years, a first for a Tiger wideout in 25 years. The play of Swinney’s wide receivers was a big reason Clemson led the ACC in total offense, rushing offense, and scoring offense during the 2006 season, just the second time an ACC team led the conference in all three categories during the previous 25 seasons. The Tigers also led the league and set school records for yards per play (6.5) and touchdowns (55). In 2007, Swinney coached Kelly, a First-Team All-ACC selection who led the league in receiving yards per game and touchdown catches (11). He also finished second in receptions per game with a school-record 88 catches, tied for the second-highest total in ACC history. His 11 touchdown catches were a Tiger record as well. Kelly is Clemson’s and the ACC’s career reception leader with 232 catches. He also owns the school touchdown reception record with 20. The previous record of 18 was held by Glenn Smith, who established the record in 1951. The Alabama native has a reputation as one of the top recruiters in the nation. In 2006, he was listed as the #5 recruiter in the nation by Rivals.com. It marked the second straight year that he was lauded by the website as a top-25 national recruiter. He signed 38 players in his five recruiting seasons as an assistant coach and was a major reason Clemson’s 2008 recruiting class was rated #2 in the nation by ESPN.com when he signed 11 players. He was named one of the top-25 recruiters in the nation by Rivals.com in 2007 as well. When Swinney accepted the interim head coaching position on October 13, 2008, he described his feelings as “bittersweet” because he was taking over for Bowden, who had been his first position coach at Alabama in 1989. He had also brought Swinney back to the coaching pro2010 Meineke Car Care Bowl

fession in 2003 and has had a profound effect on his life. Both had followed similar paths as players, as Bowden was a walk-on at West Virginia and Swinney was a walk-on at Alabama. Swinney received a commerce & business administration degree from Alabama in 1993 after lettering three times (1990-92). A walk-on who went on to earn a scholarship, Swinney was a wide receiver on Alabama’s 1992 National Championship team. He was also named Academic All-SEC along with being an SEC Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll member in 1990 and 1992. Along with his appearance in the 1993 Sugar Bowl, his Alabama teams played in the 1990 Sugar Bowl, 1991 Fiesta Bowl, and 1991 Blockbuster Bowl. Both Sugar Bowl appearances came after winning the SEC Championship game. After his playing career, Swinney served as a graduate assistant from 1993-95 at Alabama, where he coached in the 1994 Gator Bowl and 1995 Citrus Bowl. In December of 1995, he received a master’s degree in business administration from Alabama. He became a full-time assistant coach at Alabama in February of 1996 under Head Coach Gene Stallings (now in the Hall of Fame) and coached a total of five seasons there on a full-time basis. He was assigned to coach the Crimson Tide’s wide receivers and tight ends in 1996, a season that saw Alabama win the SEC Western Division title and make an Outback Bowl appearance. The following year, he solely coached the tight ends under Head Coach Mike DuBose. In 1998, he coached Alabama’s wide receivers, a position he held for three seasons. At the end of the 1999 campaign, Swinney coached the Crimson Tide in the 2000 Orange Bowl after winning the SEC Championship game. Wide receiver Freddie Milons was the game MVP. During his time at Alabama, Swinney was a part of six teams with at least 10 wins, five top-10 finishes, one national title (1992), three SEC championships (1989,92,99), and five SEC Western Division titles (1992,93,94,96,99) as a player and coach. He has coached the #2 receiver at Alabama (Milons) along with the #1 (Kelly) and #2 (Hamilton) receivers in Tiger history. Since 1997, he has had 20 former players either drafted or sign free-agent contracts with NFL teams. The list includes Hamilton, Currie, Kevin Youngblood, Stuckey, and Milons, an All-American at Alabama. From April of 2001 through February of 2003, Swinney was in private business in Alabama. He married the former Kathleen Bassett in 1994. They have three sons, Will (12), Drew (10), and Clay (7).

Andre Ellington and Jamie Harper both rushed for over 100 yards to lead Clemson to a 35-10 win over North Texas at Memorial Stadium on September 4. In the first-ever meeting between the two schools, Ellington and Harper became the first Tiger duo to rush for over 100 yards in one game since 2007. Clemson used two big plays to take a 14-0 lead. Ellington’s 60yard touchdown run on the second offensive snap of the season gave the Tigers the lead for good, then Kyle Parker connected with Brandon Clear for a 70-yard touchdown pass late in the second quarter. It was Clear’s first touchdown and fourth reception as a Tiger. After North Texas responded with a touchdown, Harper’s eightyard touchdown catch gave the Tigers a 21-7 halftime lead. The Tigers surrendered 462 yards of offense to North Texas and lost the time-of-possession battle by nearly 24 minutes, but Clemson averaged 9.2 yards per play and 9.8 yards per carry. Ellington rushed for 122 yards and two touchdowns on 12 carries, while Harper rushed for 101 yards and a rushing score on nine carries. Harper also added an eight-yard touchdown catch for the Tigers, who had 422 total yards and 246 rushing yards.

September 18, 2010 Jordan-Hare Stadium • Auburn, AL

Clemson jumped out to a 17-0 lead, but #15 Auburn rallied for a 27-24 overtime win at Jordan-Hare Stadium on September 18. The crowd of 87,451 was the largest to witness a Clemson football game. It was also the first meeting between the two at Auburn since 1971. After gaining just four yards in three overtime plays, Wes Byrum kicked a 39-yard field goal to give Auburn a 27-24 lead. On Clemson’s overtime possession, it gained a first down, then faced a third-andgoal at the eight. Kyle Parker found Jaron Brown open in the endzone for a potential game-winning score, but the ball went off Brown’s fingertips and fell incomplete. Chandler Catanzaro booted an apparent 26-yard field goal to tie the score, but Clemson was flagged for a penalty. Catanzaro’s ensuing 32-yard field-goal attempt was wide-left. While Clemson’s defense held Auburn to three straight three-andouts to start the game, Clemson took a 17-0 lead on Jamie Harper’s spectacular 24-yard touchdown catch. Auburn dented the scoreboard as time expired in the first half on Byrum’s 35-yard field goal. Auburn scored all three of its touchdowns in the third quarter to take a 24-17 lead before Andre Ellington’s two-yard touchdown run with 12:36 left in the fourth quarter tied the score. Ellington had a game-high 140 yards on 22 carries and four catches for 48 yards to lead Clemson, who totaled 27 first downs and did not commit a turnover. Harper added 44 rushing yards and three receptions for 48 yards. He also became the first Clemson running back since 2002 to total two receiving touchdowns in one game. Da’Quan Bowers had nine tackles, four tackles for loss, and a sack, while DeAndre McDaniel and Xavier Brewer added interceptions.

October 2, 2010 Memorial Stadium • Clemson, SC

The #16 Miami Hurricanes scored 27 first-half points and held on for a 30-21 win over Clemson on Homecoming at Memorial Stadium on October 2. It was the Tigers’ first Homecoming loss since 2001. Andre Ellington’s 71-yard and 14-yard touchdown runs gave Clemson a 14-7 lead. But behind 280 yards of offense and four touchdown passes by Jacory Harris, the Hurricanes took a 27-14 lead at halftime. Miami capped its first-half scoring when Harris connected with Leonard Hankerson for a seven-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter after Kyle Parker’s interception with 24 seconds left. However, Clemson’s defense responded in the second half, holding Miami to three points and 96 total yards of offense. Ellington’s three-yard touchdown run cut the Hurricanes’ lead to six points. Facing a fourth-and-one at the Miami 20 with under nine minutes left in the game, Brandon Harris stopped Ellington for no gain. The Hurricanes then drove 68 yards on the ensuing drive and clinched the game with Matt Bosher’s 29-yard field goal with 2:40 left in the game. The Tigers turned the ball over two more times, their fifth and sixth turnovers of the game. All six turnovers (three interceptions, three fumbles) were lost in Clemson territory. The Hurricanes also had a 40-27 advantage in average starting field position. Ellington had a game-high 107 rushing yards and three touchdowns, while Miami’s Damien Berry totaled 101 yards on 24 carries. Hankerson added a game-high seven catches for 147 yards and three touchdowns. Miami overcame 12 penalties for 105 yards as well. Da’Quan Bowers led Clemson’s defense with seven tackles, including three-and-a-half tackles for loss, a sack, and a caused fumble.

October 9, 2010 Kenan Stadium • Chapel Hill, NC

North Carolina used its four solid offensive drives and scored three touchdowns in its 21-16 win over Clemson at Kenan Stadium on October 9. It was the first meeting in Chapel Hill since 2002. The Tar Heels drove 48 yards in 12 plays on their first drive of the game to take an early lead. Johnny White’s four-yard touchdown run capped the drive. After both teams traded punts on the game’s next four possessions, Chandler Catanzaro booted a 48-yard field goal. Late in the first half, the Tar Heels drove 80 yards. T.J. Yates’ nineyard touchdown pass to Jheranie Boyd gave the Tar Heels a 14-3 lead. In the third quarter, DeAndre Hopkins returned a punt 31 yards to the Tar Heel 21. Three plays later, Jamie Harper scored on a 10-yard draw play to cut North Carolina’s lead to 14-10. After Catanzaro missed a 42-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter, North Carolina drove 76 yards in 14 plays and took 8:06 off the clock. Its drive was extended by a penalty on third or fourth down three times. White, who had a team-high 89 rushing yards and two scores along with six catches for 90 yards, scored on a 26-yard run. But with 5:31 left in the game, Kyle Parker connected with Jaron Brown for a 74-yard touchdown pass. The two-point conversion attempt failed and the Tigers trailed 21-16. However, the Tar Heels were able to milk all but 13 seconds off the clock to preserve the win. In the fourth quarter, North Carolina had the ball for 13:15. Clemson, who did not allow a sack, outgained North Carolina 305255, while neither team committed a turnover. However, the Tigers were flagged nine times for 81 yards. The Tar Heels, who were 3-14 on third down, converted all four of their fourth-down opportunities. Hopkins, who was named ACC Rookie-of-the-Week, had seven catches for 46 yards and added the 31-yard punt return. Dwayne Allen totaled seven catches for 55 yards, while Brown had four receptions for 107 yards. Da’Quan Bowers had both of the game’s sacks.

October 16, 2010 Memorial Stadium • Clemson, SC

Behind two returns for touchdowns and a stingy defense, Clemson topped Maryland 31-7 at Memorial Stadium on October 16. It was Clemson’s biggest win over the Terrapins since 1996. It was also a special day for the Tigers, who retired the #28 of former All-American C.J. Spiller (2006-09) during halftime ceremonies. The Tigers took the opening kickoff and drove 36 yards before Chandler Catanzaro kicked a 42-yard field goal. After the teams traded punts on the next six possessions, Maryland drove 81 yards, capped by running back Da’Rel Scott’s touchdown pass to Danny O’Brien. But Maryland’s only lead of the game lasted just 12 seconds, as Andre Ellington, who earned ACC Specialist-of-the-Week honors, returned the ensuing kickoff 87 yards for a touchdown. After the Terrapins drove down the field, Clemson’s defense stiffened, as Da’Quan Bowers sacked O’Brien on third-and-one from the Tiger seven. Baltz then missed a 33-yard field-goal attempt. The Tigers drove 80 yards in 13 plays to take a 17-7 lead with 32 seconds left before halftime. Jamie Harper’s one-yard plunge on fourth-and-goal capped the drive. After Jaron Brown returned a punt 41 yards in the third quarter, Ellington scored on a one-yard run. In the fourth quarter, Xavier Brewer picked off a pass and returned it 61 yards for the game’s final score. It was one of three Tiger interceptions in the fourth quarter. Clemson did not commit a turnover, while it totaled 268 combined yards on interception, kickoff, and punt returns. Bowers had all three of Clemson’s sacks and four tackles for loss to earn ACC Defensive Lineman-of-the-Week honors.

Andre Ellington rushed for 166 yards and totaled three touchdowns to lead Clemson to a 27-13 victory over Georgia Tech at Memorial Stadium on October 23. The Tigers’ 14-point win snapped the Yellow Jackets’ four-game winning streak in the series. The Tigers jumped out to a 17-0 lead thanks in part to a 55-yard touchdown run and 42-yard touchdown run by Ellington, who was named ACC Offensive Back-of-the-Week. The Yellow Jackets put together a 15-play, 71-yard drive late in the second quarter, capped by Scott Blair’s 26-yard field goal, to cut Clemson’s lead to 17-3. After Blair kicked another 26-yard field goal on the opening drive of the second half, Kyle Parker’s 35-yard screen pass to Jamie Harper moved the ball deep into Georgia Tech territory. Three players later, Ellington’s 10-yard touchdown catch upped the Tigers’ lead to 24-6. Georgia Tech responded with a 14-play, 78-yard drive, capped by Joshua Nesbitt’s nine-yard touchdown pass to Anthony Allen on fourth-and-six. But the Tigers held the ball for 12:21 in the fourth quarter and Georgia Tech only totaled six offensive plays. Clemson capped the game’s scoring with a 15-play, 64-yard drive that ended in Chandler Catanzaro’s 21-yard field goal with 3:28 left in the game. All 14 offensive plays of the drive were running plays. The Tigers were 9-15 on third-down conversions, did not commit a turnover, and did not allow a sack. Ellington had a game-high 257 all-purpose yards, while Parker was 17-27 for 167 yards and a score. Clemson’s defense limited Georgia Tech’s option attack to only 242 rushing yards and 325 total yards. Nesbitt was held to just two yards on 15 carries, with a long rush of five yards. Jarvis Jenkins had a team-high 10 tackles for the Tigers, who had eight tackles for loss.

Montel Harris rushed for 143 yards and added the only offensive touchdown of the game on a 36-yard reception to lead Boston College to a 16-10 victory over Clemson at Alumni Stadium on October 30. Clemson took an early 7-0 lead when Rashard Hall intercepted a pass and returned it 52 yards for a score. The Eagles responded with a 70-yard drive, capped by Nate Freese’s 36-yard field goal. After Chandler Catanzaro booted a 31-yard field goal to up Clemson’s lead to 10-3 late in the first quarter, Boston College put together a 17-play, 62-yard drive that lasted 9:25. The drive was prolonged by a costly Tiger penalty on third-and-26 and was capped by Freese’s 36-yard field goal with 8:32 remaining in the second quarter. On the ensuing kickoff, the Tigers fumbled the ball and the Eagles recovered. On the next play, Chase Rettig connected with Harris out of the backfield for a 36-yard touchdown pass. Freese later added a 36-yard field goal as time expired in the first half. Neither team dented the scoreboard in the second half. The Tigers routinely moved the ball between the 20s, but they were unable to capitalize in the red zone. The Tiger defense limited the Eagles to only 84 total yards in 26 plays in the second half and forced a punt on each of Boston College’s six offensive drives in the second half. Harris rushed for 143 yards on 37 carries and had 179 all-purpose yards to lead Boston College, who totaled 305 total yards. The Eagle defense limited Clemson to 264 total yards even though the Tigers amassed 19 first downs. Boston College’s defense also held Clemson to only three total points on the Tigers’ three red-zone possessions. Andre Ellington had a team-high 44 rushing yards for the Tigers, while Kyle Parker was 21-39 passing for 176 yards and two interceptions. Dwayne Allen added seven catches for 57 yards, both game-highs. The Tigers were 1-3 on field goals, while Boston College made all three of its field-goal attempts.

Clemson overcame a 10-0 deficit in the second half to rally for a 14-13 win over #23 N.C. State at Memorial Stadium on November 6. Clemson won its seventh game in a row in the Textile Bowl matchup. N.C. State took its first possession 58 yards and scored when Russell Wilson hit Mustafa Greene for a three-yard touchdown pass. The Tigers responded with a 15-play, 65-yard drive that lasted 6:54, but the drive stalled and Clemson missed a 37-yard field-goal attempt. The Tigers, who had 190 total yards in the first half, had drives of 10 and 14 plays later in the first half, but neither resulted in points. However, the defense kept Clemson in the game, as Jarvis Jenkins blocked a field goal and DeAndre McDaniel, who was named ACC Defensive Back-of-the-Week, intercepted a pass in the endzone. After the Tigers turned the ball over for the third time, this time at their own 13, Clemson’s defense held again and forced a 28-yard field goal early in the third quarter that upped N.C. State’s lead to 10-0. Greene later fumbled and Corico Hawkins recovered at the N.C. State 22. Five plays later, Kyle Parker connected with DeAndre Hopkins for a 12-yard touchdown pass over the middle on third-and-goal. After another Wolfpack field goal in the fourth quarter, Jamie Harper scored on a four-yard touchdown run with 6:18 left in the game to give Clemson a 14-13 lead. The Tiger defense held on N.C. State’s last two possessions, giving Clemson its first one-point win since 2005. With three minutes left in the game, Dawson Zimmerman also was clutch when he made a one-handed grab of an errant punt snap and pinned N.C. State at its own 15 on his hurried 38-yard punt. Parker was 20-29 passing for 214 yards and a score, while Harper had 60 rushing yards and 34 receiving yards to lead Clemson’s offense. The Tiger defense limited N.C. State 22 points and 164 yards below its season averages in those categories. In 20 carries by Wolfpack running backs, their longest carry was just four yards.

November 13, 2010 Doak S. Campbell Stadium • Tallahassee, FL

Dustin Hopkins kicked a 55-yard field goal on the last play of the game to lift Florida State to a 16-13 win over Clemson at Doak S. Campbell Stadium on November 13. The Tigers lost a heartbreaker despite outgaining the Seminoles by 84 yards along with 116 more yards of starting field position. Clemson also had a 25-16 advantage in first downs and was 9-18 on third-down conversions. Eight of Clemson’s 10 drives reached the Seminole 36 as well. However, Clemson netted just six combined points in its four red-zone possessions and missed two field goals. Clemson drove 82 yards in 12 plays on the game’s opening possession and scored on Jamie Harper’s 26-yard touchdown run. In the second quarter, the Tigers recovered a fumble at the Seminole 10. After three plays netted five yards, Chandler Catanzaro kicked a 22-yard field goal to give Clemson a 10-3 lead, which the Tigers carried into halftime along with a 15-3 advantage in first downs. On the first play of the fourth quarter with Clemson ahead 10-6, Xavier Rhodes intercepted a pass in the endzone. Twelve plays and 85 yards later, E.J. Manuel scored on an eight-yard touchdown run. The Tigers tied the score with 57 seconds left on Catanzaro’s 29-yard field goal, but Manuel’s 18-yard pass to Rodney Smith set up Hopkins’ game-winning 55-yard field goal as time expired. Harper had 143 yards on 27 carries and a game-high nine catches, the most by a Tiger running back in history. DeAndre Hopkins totaled eight receptions for 106 yards. It was Clemson’s first loss in 25 years when the Tigers had a 100-yard rusher and 100-yard receiver in the same game. Da’Quan Bowers added a team-high eight tackles, two tackles for loss, one sack, and one interception as well.

Kyle Parker was 15-17 passing for 194 yards and two touchdowns to lead Clemson to a 30-10 win over Wake Forest at BB&T Field on November 20. It was the Tigers’ largest victory margin at Wake Forest since 1978 and made Clemson bowl eligible for the 12th year in a row. Field goals of 43 yards and 22 yards by Chandler Catanzaro put Clemson up by a score of 6-0. Then with 46 seconds remaining in the second quarter, Parker connected with Jaron Brown for a 40-yard touchdown pass to give the Tigers a 13-0 halftime lead. The Tigers built a 20-0 lead in the third quarter when DeAndre Hopkins caught a two-yard touchdown pass from Parker. Through three quarters, the Tiger defense allowed no points and only 97 yards. In the fourth quarter, Catanzaro, who was 3-3 on field-goal attempts in the game, made a 32-yard field goal. After a 45-yard field goal by Jimmy Newman put Wake Forest on the scoreboard, Jamie Harper rushed 63 yards on the next snap to give Clemson a 30-3 lead. Wake Forest mustered an 11-play, 79-yard drive, capped by Josh Harris’ one-yard touchdown run, to cut the Tiger lead to 30-10 with 6:02 left in the game. But Clemson held onto the ball for the rest of the game to close out the 20-point win. All 10 Demon Deacon points and a majority of their yards came in the fourth quarter against Clemson’s defense that predominately featured second and third-team players. Harper had 142 yards on 24 carries and three catches for 39 yards, while Brown had five catches for a game-high 93 yards for the Tigers, who were 9-16 on third-down conversions. Da’Quan Bowers led Clemson’s defense with two of the team’s three sacks.

November 27, 2010 Memorial Stadium • Clemson, SC

South Carolina, ranked #17 in the nation, scored the game’s final 29 points to defeat Clemson 29-7 at Memorial Stadium on November 27. It marked the first time in 40 years that the Gamecocks beat the Tigers in back-to-back seasons. It was also the 108th all-time meeting. Clemson grabbed a 7-0 lead on the game’s first drive when Kyle Parker connected with DeAndre Hopkins for a 45-yard touchdown pass. The two hooked up for a 30-yard catch earlier in the drive. Hopkins had a game-high seven receptions for 124 yards in the game. A Tiger penalty after Clemson’s defense forced a would-be fourth down prolonged South Carolina’s first drive, and Spencer Lanning made his first of three field goals, this time from 46 yards. After the two teams traded punts, disaster struck for Clemson. The punt snap from the Tiger 27 was errant and Brian Maddox’s recovery and four-yard return set up Stephen Garcia’s five-yard touchdown pass to Patrick DiMarco on the next play to give South Carolina the lead for good. It was the first of three turnovers for the Tigers, while the Gamecocks did not commit a turnover in the contest. On the first play of the second quarter, Garcia hit Alshon Jeffery for a 37-yard touchdown reception. Jeffery had a game-high 141 yards on five catches. Lanning later added a 25-yard field goal to give South Carolina a 19-7 lead at halftime. Antonio Allen’s 37-yard interception return for a touchdown early in the third quarter put the game out of reach. Clemson’s defense held the Gamecocks to only 68 yards on 27 plays in the second half, but its offense could not reach paydirt thanks in part to a 39-21 advantage for South Carolina in average starting field position in the game. Corico Hawkins registered a team-high 13 tackles and was a big reason Marcus Lattimore totaled just 48 yards on 23 carries.

January 1, 1951 Orange Bowl • Miami, FL

Clemson’s bid for a repeat of the 1948 perfect season ended when the Tigers had to rely on the toe of Charlie Radcliff to tie South Carolina after three season-opening shutouts. Clemson regrouped, however, with a 13-12 win at Wake Forest and then won the remaining four games by convincing margins. The Tigers’8-0-1 mark and second-place finish in the Southern Conference earned them a bid to play Miami (FL), who was also undefeated at 9-0-1, in the 17th Orange Bowl. After a scoreless first quarter, Clemson got on track with a 45-yard pass from Billy Hair to Bob Hudson that put the Tigers at the Miami one. Fred Cone capped the 76-yard drive with a sweep for the score and Radcliff tacked on the extra point. Clemson mounted a six-play, 70-yard drive in the third quarter for its second touchdown. Hair threw a 31-yard pass to Ray Mathews, who, as the papers said, “made a circus catch with two men on his back,” to move the Tigers to the Miami 28. Hair tossed a pass to Glenn Smith at the Miami seven and Smith scrambled in for the score. Miami caught fire two minutes later when Jack Delbello intercepted a pass in the Clemson end zone and returned it to the 40, and then a 10-yard penalty was assessed the

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

After 86 years of playing football, Clemson claimed its first National Championship with a 22-15 win over perennial Big Eight power Nebraska in the 48th Orange Bowl. After a 13-3 win over 1980 National Champion Georgia at home, the Tigers worked their way to the number-one ranking in both wire service polls by season’s end. The win over the Cornhuskers gave Clemson the national title and its third perfect season in history. Nebraska took the kickoff, but three plays later, Tiger middle guard William Devane recovered a Mark Mauer fumble at the Nebraska 33. Quarterback Homer Jordan drove Clemson to the Nebraska 24 before the drive stalled, and Donald Igwebuike drilled a 41-yard field goal to put the ACC Champions up, 3-0. Nebraska came right back, however, as the Big Eight title holder 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, scampered 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. Bob Paulling’s extra point put the Tigers ahead, 19-7. After Billy Davis’s 47-yard punt return, Jordan moved the Tigers to the Nebraska 20, where Igwebuike kicked a 36-yard field goal, his third of the evening, to put Clemson ahead 22-7 with two-and-a half minutes left in the third stanza. Nebraska was down but not out, though. After a nearinterception 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. The Clemson defense shut down the Big Red on their final extended drive, then the offense held on to the ball for nearly five-and-a-half minutes to run down the clock to six seconds. Andy Headen deflected Mauer’s desperation pass to preserve the win and the championship for Clemson. Jeff Davis led the Tiger defense with 14 tackles in his final game. He also recovered a fumble, giving him a schoolrecord eight for his career. Bill Smith added a career-high 10 tackles from his defensive end position.
