Clemson’s Football Heritage Academic Excellence • Clemson has had 53 players in the last 10 seasons who have played for the Tigers after they earned their undergraduate degree. Fourteen Clemson graduates suited up for Clemson’s bowl game against South Florida in 2010. In two of the last five years, every senior on the roster earned their degree. • 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. • Six Tigers made the Academic All-ACC team in 2010, the second-most in school history for one year. Only Duke had more members on the team than Clemson. The list of Academic All-ACC members included Jaron Brown, Mason Cloy, Dalton Freeman, Rashard Hall, Brandon Maye and Dawson Zimmerman. Zimmerman had a 4.0 GPA in the second semester. • In the last five years, 87 of the 96 players (91 percent) who have stayed at Clemson until their final year have graduated. That includes a graduation rate of 88 percent for scholarship football players (67-76) who have stayed until their senior season. • 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. • Head Coach Dabo Swinney has the top APR score among active coaches at the FBS level with a career figure of 988. It is a major reason Clemson’s 977 APR score for the 2006-10 cohort was third-best among the top-25 public institutions in the nation according to U.S. News & World Report.
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-American 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 unanimous first-team All-American, ACC Defensive Player-of-the-Year, and won both the Hendricks Award
Jacoby Ford, a current wide receiver with the Oakland Raiders, graduated in 2009 and is one of many reasons Head Coach Dabo Swinney has the top APR score among active FBS coaches.
and Nagurski Award along with being a finalist for the Bednarik Award. • Clemson has had three unanimous first-team All-Americans in the last five years, something only Alabama has accomplished. Spiller, Bowers, and Gaines Adams (2006) are the three Tigers named. • 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. • Clemson 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 apiece. • 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 But-
ler, 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 16th bowl win, 18th-most in FBS history. Clemson has played in 33 bowl games over the years, one of the top20 figures in 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 the 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 Tigers have been to a bowl game in 11 of the last 12 seasons and have been bowl-eligible 12 straight seasons.
Clemson Alma Mater Where the Blue Ridge yawns its greatness Where the Tigers play Here the sons of dear old Clemson Reign supreme alway.

Dear old Clemson, we will triumph And with all our might That the Tigers’ roar may echo O’er the mountain height.
Clemson’s Football Heritage 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 (400) and ACC wins (241) than any other school. • Clemson won the ACC Atlantic Division title in 2009. • Clemson has won 13 ACC titles (12 outright, one tied), still the all-time ACC record. • 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.
The 1981 Tiger defense held Herschel Walker and Georgia in check in its 13-3 victory on its way to the National Championship.
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 in 2009. He led Clemson to nine wins in his first full season, second in the nation among firstyear 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 bowl games in both 2009 and 2010. The conference had a record 10 bowl teams in 2008. Overall, 50 ACC teams have been to bowl games over the last six years. • Clemson posted 10 straight winning seasons between 2000 and 2009 and was one of 14 schools to have a winning season each of those years. Three other ACC schools were on the list. • Clemson, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Maryland, and Miami (FL) are schools within the conference that have won a national title. • In the last five seasons, the ACC has 37 first-round selections in the NFL draft, second nationally among leagues. That includes 25 top-10 selections in the last 11 years. • Forty-seven ACC players have been named to the Pro Bowl in the last two years, 17 more than any other conference.
Dabo Swinney was named ACC Coach-ofthe-Year by Sporting News in his first full season as Clemson’s head coach in 2009.

2011 Outlook
Junior center Dalton Freeman (#55) and the rest of the Tiger offensive line will block for a new offensive scheme under first-year Offensive Coordinator Chad Morris.
Tony McNeal, a fine all-around quarterback from Chester, SC, also played in the spring as a first-year freshman and will be in the mix. Through seven games last year, Andre Ellington was 10th in the nation in scoring with 12 touchdowns and was 30th in rushing yards per game (91.7). He had four 100yard rushing games in the first seven contests, including 140 yards on 22 carries against eventual National Champion Auburn. He had just gained 166 yards on 20 carries and scored three touchdowns in a victory over Georgia Tech, then he suffered a toe injury at Boston College that effectively ended his season. “Andre Ellington’s return is as important as any aspect of our football team,” admitted Swinney. “He is an outstanding back in all phases of the game. We definitely missed him during the second half of last year. We will look totally different in the fall compared to April and Ellington’s return has a lot to do with that.” Roderick McDowell returns at running back. In seven games last year, he had 161 yards, a 5.0-yard average, and scored a touchdown. He had 102 yards on just 12 carries in the Spring Game and had a 41-yard run, the long rushing play of the Spring Game. Red-shirts D.J. Howard and Demont Buice got plenty of work as Ellington sat out spring practice. Buice was the top rusher in the Spring Game with 102 yards on 18 carries and a score, while Howard had 97 yards on 11 carries and a score. The top returning wide receiver is sophomore DeAndre Hopkins, who had 52 catches for 637 yards and four touchdowns as a freshman in 2010. His nine receptions in the Meineke Car Care Bowl established a school record for a bowl game. He finished the year with three 100-yard games in his last four contests. Jaron Brown is another outstanding receiver for the Tigers. The junior, who was a First-Team Academic All-ACC selection in 2010, had 32 receptions for 405 yards and three touchdowns. He was fourth on the team in receptions, but was second in receiving yards. Bryce McNeal is another veteran receiver. The native of Minnesota had 19 receptions for 187 yards last year when he started three games and played in 12. Marquan Jones is a senior who had 21 catches for 184 yards, including six receptions in the victory over a top-25 N.C. State team. He had 71 receiving yards in the Spring Game, best among all players. The tight end position also has some outstanding returning talent. Dwayne Allen was a Second-Team All-ACC player in 2010 when he had 33 receptions for 373 yards and a touchdown, the most receptions by a Clemson
sophomore tight end in history. Also a solid blocker, Allen was a midseason semifinalist for the John Mackey Award last year. Brandon Ford is a converted wide receiver who had a strong finish to the 2010 season. He had 10 catches for 78 yards and two touchdowns. Both touchdown catches came in the Meineke Car Care Bowl against South Florida, as he became the first Tiger with two receiving touchdowns in a bowl game. Sam Cooper is a red-shirt freshman who will also get some playing time in 2011. Chad Diehl is a fifth-year player who is unique. He has the ability to play at the next level because of his abilities as a blocker in all sorts of formations. He is a veteran of 43 games, including 17 starts, in his career and will break the Clemson record for games played this year as long as he stays healthy. He is rated as the top senior fullback for the 2012 NFL draft according to CBSSports.com. The Tigers return four starters on the offense line for new Line Coach Robbie Caldwell, who takes over for longtime Assistant Brad Scott, who retired from coaching in February. Caldwell, who was the head coach at Vanderbilt in 2010, will welcome back starters Landon Walker (OT), Antoine McClain (OG), Dalton Freeman (C), and David
Smith (OT) along with top reserve Mason Cloy (OG), who has 19 career starts and 38 career games played. “There will be some adjustment at the beginning for the offensive line in this offense, but not as much as some people may think,” said Swinney. “The biggest adjustment will be playing more snaps because of the change in pace. “Our biggest task this spring on the offensive line was to find a fifth starter. We had a lot of options and gave a lot of young players a chance. We have some versatility in the offensive line, so there are a number of ways we can go.” Walker played 805 snaps last year and started all 13 games, giving him 35 career starts entering his senior season. He knows what it takes to be successful, because over his career, he has gone against top NFL draft picks Ndamukong Suh (Nebraska), Jerry Hughes (TCU), and Derrick Morgan (Georgia Tech), not to mention competing against former teammate Da’Quan Bowers every day in practice. Freeman is a junior who will be in his third year as a starter at center. A multi-year Academic All-ACC selection, Freeman has made 22 starts (all consecutive entering 2011) in 26 games over the last two years. Freeman had 58 knockdown blocks last year in 811 snaps and averaged 80.6 percent in terms of his film grade, third-best on the team. He was listed as a preseason first-team All-ACC candidate by many services. McClain is also in his third year as a starter and fourth year as a key member of the offensive line. He has played 1,517 career snaps in 40 games, including 27 as a starter. He has started every game over the last two seasons. A third-team All-ACC selection by Phil Steele in 2010, McClain had a team-high 69 knockdown blocks, including a team-high 14 at Auburn. Smith is a returning starter at guard, but he has also played tackle during his career. The graduate student from nearby Greenville, SC had a solid junior year despite missing sometime with injuries. He started 11 games and had 30 knockdown blocks in over 560 snaps. There are many options for the fifth starter in Swinney’s offensive line. One is Cloy, a fifth-year senior who has played both guard and center during his career. He played in 12 games last year, including two as a starter. He had 31 knockdown blocks in 2010 and has 136 in his career. Cloy is a two-time, First-Team Academic All-ACC selection as well. Phillip Price, an original walk-on who earned a scholarship, could be the fifth starter as a left tackle. He has played in 29 games in his career and the senior is a very athletic player. He has a 10’1” broad jump, fourth-best on the team. Brandon Thomas and Matt Sanders are two other junior offensive linemen who could move into a starting role in 2011.
Junior tight end Dwayne Allen was a Second-Team All-ACC player in 2010.

2011 Outlook Senior defensive end Andre Branch will lead a veteran defensive line in 2011.
Defense (5 Returning Starters, 21 Returning Lettermen) Clemson had a strong season on defense in 2010. The Tigers were fifth in the nation in rushing touchdowns allowed, ninth in tackles for loss, 13th in scoring defense, 19th in total defense, and 23rd in passing defense. While only five starters return from that unit, Defensive Coordinator Kevin Steele does have some talented reserves who logged considerable playing time, as they are ready to assume starting roles. “We lost some outstanding players, there is no doubt, three of whom were First-Team All-ACC players (Da’Quan Bowers, Jarvis Jenkins, DeAndre McDaniel), but we are in the third year of this system under Coach Steele and we have some returning backups who played a lot,” said Swinney.
Clemson had one of the top defensive lines in the nation last year, and that could be the case in 2011, even with the departure of Jenkins and Bowers, who were both taken in the top-51 selections of the NFL draft. Andre Branch and Brandon Thompson give the Tigers one of the top defensive end/tackle combinations in the country. Branch has played in 34 games over the last three years and has 16.5 career tackles for loss, including seven sacks. He had 55 tackles in 2010, seventh-most on the team. Thompson has been a stalwart in the middle of Clemson’s defensive line for the last three seasons and enters his senior year with 131 career tackles, including 14.5 behind the line of scrimmage. He also finished strong, as 43 of his 56 tackles came in the last seven games of the season.
There are strong candidates on the front four to replace Jenkins and Bowers. Malliciah Goodman and Kourtnei Brown are two experienced defensive ends, while Rennie Moore is a veteran defensive tackle. Goodman had 32 tackles in 13 games last year, including nine in the win over Georgia Tech when he earned a starting role. His pursuit of the quarterback on the option was a big reason the Yellow Jackets scored just one touchdown against the Tigers. Freshman Corey Crawford had an outstanding spring, including two sacks in the Spring Game from his defensive end position. Moore is a veteran of 32 games, including one as a starter, but he had 26 tackles in 13 games in 2010. He was one of the more productive defensive players off the bench, as his seven tackles for loss will attest. Red-shirt freshman Josh Watson looks to be a promising addition to the defensive line as well. Sophomore Tyler Shatley is a strong defensive tackle who also will be in the mix on the defensive line. Red-shirt freshmen Tra Thomas and Tavaris Barnes also had strong springs. Technically, Clemson has just one starter returning at the linebacker position. Corico Hawkins had 71 tackles in 2010, the most among returning Tigers. Quandon Christian started seven games at an outside linebacker position and is not considered a returning starter because he was 12th on the team in starts. However, the freshman All-ACC player according to Rivals.com had a solid year with 24 tackles, including 22 first hits. The third linebacker position will feature returning veterans Daniel Andrews, Justin Parker, Spencer Shuey, and Jonathan Willard among the returning lettermen, while there are some red-shirt freshman candidates, including the athletic Vic Beasley. “We lost some veteran players in the secondary in DeAndre McDaniel, Marcus Gilchrist, and Byron Maxwell, all players who could play professionally next year,” stated Swinney. “But Xavier Brewer started 10 games and played well for us, as did Coty Sensabaugh. I also like what I have seen in the players we red-shirted last year.” Brewer finished the season with eight pass breakups, second-most on the team. He also had a 61-yard interception return for a touchdown against Maryland that broke the game open and had nine tackles and an interception at Auburn. Sensabaugh started three games and had 28

2011 Outlook tackles along with two pass breakups. He has had exactly one interception in each of his three years with the program. The safety position features returning starter Rashard Hall, a two-time, Academic All-ACC selection who is on the verge of becoming an All-ACC player on the field. In two years, he has eight interceptions and five pass breakups up in 27 games. He already has nine career takeaways. Jonathan Meeks is another returning lettermen who should move into a starting position. The native of Rock Hill, SC had 28 tackles last year in 13 games, including one as a starter. He was the top tackler in the Spring Game among starting players. He had six tackles and two pass breakups in his top performance against Georgia Tech. Darius Robinson and Martin Jenkins are two more returning lettermen who lettered as freshman defensive backs. Red-shirt freshmen Desmond Brown, Garry Peters, and Bashaud Breeland all had strong springs and will be counted on in the secondary.
Special Teams (2 Returning Starters, 4 Returning Lettermen) Clemson has both of its starting kickers returning, but it will have to find a replacement for Marcus Gilchrist in the return game. Gilchrist was in the top four in the ACC in punt returns (10.1) and kickoff returns (23.7) in a solid senior year handling both duties. Dawson Zimmerman was the MVP of Clemson’s special teams last year as the punter. He averaged 42.7 yards a punt, including an outstanding 40.6-yard average in terms of net punting. The rising senior, who is a near 4.0 student as an English major, was one of 10 semfinalists for the Ray

Guy Award as a junior in 2010. He had 19 punts inside the 20 and nine punts of 50 yards or more, including two boots over 75 yards, the only player in Clemson history to accomplish that feat.
Chandler Catanzaro was Clemson’s starting placekicker for most of 2010 and made 14 field goals in 22 attempts. The 14 field goals, the most by a Clemson freshman since 1991, included 6-9 from 40-49 yards.

2011 Clemson Schedule Clemson will play one of its most difficult schedules in history in 2011, as 10 of Clemson’s 11 FBS opponents went to a bowl game in 2010, including six who won at least nine games. Also, Wofford, Clemson’s FCS opponent, was 10-3 and reached the second round of the NCAA playoffs. Clemson’s three FBS non-conference opponents had a combined 31-10 record last year (75.6 winning percentage). That list includes defending National Champion Auburn, who will play at Clemson on September 17. Troy (85) and South Carolina (9-5) also had outstanding seasons. Overall, Clemson’s 12 opponents in 2011 had a 104-55 record in 2010, good for a 65.4 winning percentage. Each of Clemson’s first five opponents won at least eight games, including four in a row who won at least 10 games. Seven of the eight ACC opponents went to bowl games as well. Clemson has a stretch of consecutive games against Auburn (14-0), Florida State (10-4), and Virginia Tech (11-3) between September 24 and October 1 that will be one of the most challenging stretches in school history. All three of those teams played for their respective conference championships last year. Clemson plays all four schools who played for the ACC and SEC Championships in 2010. Clemson’s schedule is front-loaded with home games. The first four games will be at home, the first time that has happened since 1979 and the third time in Tiger history. Clemson plays six of its first eight games at home and, for the first time since 1989, Clemson will play just one home game after October 22. The Tigers will open the season on September 3 against Troy, the first meeting between the two schools. Troy had an 8-5 record last year and was 11th in the nation in passing offense, 17th in total offense, and fifth in sacks. Clemson’s second game will be played on September 10 when Wofford comes to Clemson. It will be the first meeting between the two since 2001 and just the second meeting since 1981. Wofford had a 10-3 record in 2010 when it led the all FCS schools in rushing yards per game. Defending National Champion Auburn comes to Clemson on September 17. Auburn had a 14-0 record last

year and beat Oregon for the title. Clemson and Auburn went to overtime last year before Auburn gained a 27-24 win. Clemson was the only team to take Auburn to overtime in 2010. It will be its first trip to Clemson since 1970. Auburn’s appearance will mark the first time a defending national champion plays at Clemson since 1991, when Georgia Tech played at Clemson after winning the title in 1990. The only other year an opponent came to Clemson as the defending national champion was 1981 (Georgia). Clemson opens its ACC schedule against Florida State on September 24 at Memorial Stadium. The two played a thrilling game last year that was decided on a 55-yard field goal on the last play of the game. Clemson has not lost to Florida State in Memorial Stadium in 10 years. Florida State won the ACC Atlantic Division title last year and finished with a Chick-fil-A Bowl victory over South Carolina. Defending ACC Champion Virginia Tech will be Clemson’s first road game on October 1. It will be the first meeting between the two since they played at Clemson in 2007. Virginia Tech had an 11-3 record last year and has won the ACC title three of the last four years.

Fadden Trophy. Seven of the last eight meetings between these two have been decided by a touchdown or less. Clemson will travel to Maryland on October 15. The two schools have met every year since 1952 and the Tigers have a 30-27-2 lead in the competitive series. The Tigers beat a nine-win Maryland team last year by a score of 31-7. North Carolina will come to Clemson on October 22 for its first appearance in Death Valley since 2006. The Tar Heels are coming off an eight-win season that concluded with a bowl victory over Tennessee. The Tigers travel to Atlanta to face Georgia Tech on October 29. The Yellow Jackets led the nation in rushing offense last year, meaning Clemson’s defense will face the top rushing offenses from the FBS and FCS levels. Clemson and Georgia Tech played for the 2009 ACC title. After an open date, Clemson will host Wake Forest on November 12. It will be Senior Day at Clemson. The last two games are on the road. Clemson travels to N.C. State for its final league game on November 19. The Tigers have beaten the Wolfpack seven straight years, their longest winning streak in the series. Clemson ends the regular season at South Carolina on November 26. Clemson has won nine of the last 11 games in Columbia.

Head Coach Dabo Swinney
Dabo Swinney Head Coach 9th Season at Clemson 3rd Full Season at Clemson as Head Coach Alabama ‘93
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 program to three bowl games on the field in his young career, his players have
14
also excelled in the classroom. In his career as a head coach, his players have an APR score of 988, best among active FBS level coaches and best in the ACC. Clemson had to replace three First-Team All-ACC position players on offense in 2010, as Jacoby Ford, Michael Palmer, and C.J. Spiller moved on to the NFL. It was 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 performed well in the NFL in 2010, further showing their talent level. Swinney was just the second Tiger coach to lead Clemson’s program into a bowl game in his first two full years as head coach, joining his predecessor, Tommy Bowden. The 2010 schedule was one of the most challenging in school history, as nine bowl teams were on the regular-season 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 included wins over bowl teams Georgia Tech, Maryland, and N.C. State. The Wolfpack were ranked #23 in the nation and were leading the ACC in scoring. But the Clemson defense held N.C. State to just one touchdown and 13 points. The team excelled defensively in 2010 and was 13th in the nation in scoring defense and in the top 25 in both total defense and pass defense. Spiller was a unanimous first-team AllAmerican in Swinney’s first year, and defensive end Da’Quan Bowers duplicated the feat on the defensive side. Bowers won the 2010 Bronko Nagurski Award as the nation’s top defensive player, and he received the Hendricks Award as the top defensive end. He was also a finalist for the Bednarik Award and Lombardi Award. He led the nation in sacks (15.5) and was tied for the national lead in tackles for loss (26). Bowers was one of four First-Team All-ACC players in 2010, as he joined DeAndre McDaniel (S) and Jarvis Jenkins (DT) on defense and Chris Hairston (OT) on offense. Clemson and Maryland tied for the most First-Team AllACC 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
Head Coach Dabo Swinney 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 ACC MVP in 2009 and was a consensus first-team All-American. He had five kick returns for touchdowns in 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 has continued. 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 in 2009. 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

Head Coach Dabo Swinney
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 (Derrick Hamilton, Airese Currie, Chansi Stuckey, Aaron Kelly, Ford) in seven of his eight seasons at Clemson, 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 profession in 2003 and has had a profound effect on his life. Both had followed similar paths as players, as Bowden was a walk-on 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 title 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. As an assistant coach, he had 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 2001-03, Scott served as offensive coordinator, and in that time, Clemson had two of the top-four total offense figures in school history. The 2003 offense set a passing yardage record (3,687) that still stands today. That top-25 team that beat #3 Florida State and #6 Tennessee at the end of the 2003 season averaged 432.0 yards per game, still the second-best mark in school history. Clemson was bowl eligible all 12 years Scott was on staff and the Tigers played in 11 bowl games. The Tigers had five top-25 seasons, including 2009 when Clemson won the ACC Atlantic Division. He coached 15 First or Second-Team All-ACC players, including five who earned All-America honors. Scott served under Bobby Bowden at Florida State from 1983-93.

James F. Barker President Clemson ‘70
Jim Barker has worn almost every hat possible in his almost five decades as a member of the Clemson family student, athlete, alumnus, teacher, dean, parent, fan, and president. On reflection, he thinks “student” is the most important. “I often tell people I learned everything from plumbing to poetry in architecture school, and I use every bit of that knowledge as president of Clemson University,” said Barker. A 1970 Clemson graduate, Barker was named president in 1999 with a mandate from the Board of Trustees to lead Clemson into the top ranks of American universities. At his inaugural address in April of 2000, he said, “I am convinced that there is no university in America stronger than Clemson when we are ‘One Clemson.’ A united Clemson is unstoppable.” During the “One Clemson” decade that followed, the university harnessed the competitive, determined spirit of the Clemson family to transform itself from a respected state institution into one of the nation’s finest public universities. Clemson climbed from the third tier to a top-25 ranking among public universities in the 2011 U.S. News & World Report guide to colleges, and it has been recognized for value, affordability, and return on investment by Kiplinger’s and Bloomberg/Businessweek magazines. Ninety-two percent of seniors would choose Clemson
again according to the National Survey of Student Engagement. Also, Clemson is third among all public universities in the percentage of alumni who make gifts to their school. That is another indication of quality and alumni satisfaction. Clemson continues to attract top students and faculty. It is the #1 choice of Palmetto Fellows, the state’s best students. A record-setting 16,867 undergraduate and 6,082 graduate school applications were received for the fall of 2010, and just over 50 percent of the freshman class graduated in the top-10 percent of their high school classes. The University provides an unmatched educational experience - intellectual development - for students and research-driven economic development for the state of South Carolina. Barker is a leading voice in higher education for South Carolina and the nation. He served on the NCAA Division I Board of Directors for four years, three of which as chair. He also delivered a keynote address at the Society for College & University Planning conference in Charleston, SC in October of 2010. For his leadership, Barker has received the Order of the Palmetto, South Carolina’s highest civilian honor, and The Cliff’s Business Person-of-the-Year Award from Greenville Magazine. He has also been awarded honorary doctorates from the Medical University of South Carolina, South Carolina State University, and Mars Hill College.
2011-12 University Highlights • The Kickoff of the $600 million Will to Lead campaign at the start of the fall semester, along with news that the $500 million mark had been reached by June 1, 2011. Campaign gifts support students, faculty, and facilities, including new athletic facilities. • Progress on construction of the $31 million Lee Hall expansion and renovation, and the restart of construction on the Academic Success Center and a new Life Sciences building. Both of these projects had broken ground but were delayed temporarily by the fiscal crisis and recession. • Groundbreaking and the awarding of construction contracts for a new wind energy test facility at the Clemson University Restoration Institute in North Charleston, SC. • The adoption of a new Clemson 2020 strategic plan, developed after a year of intense study and deliberation. After two years of dealing with budget cuts, Barker said, “It’s time for Clemson to get back on offense.”

Dr. Terry Don Phillips Athletic Director 10th Season at Clemson Arkansas ‘70
When Clemson’s baseball team played host to the 2011 NCAA Tournament, it meant the Tiger sports program had accomplished something only one other program had done nationally. It marked the third consecutive year Clemson had been to a bowl game, the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, and the NCAA Baseball Tournament each of the last three years. Only Florida State has equaled that accomplishment. Reaching a high level of success in the high-profile sports is a credit to the administrative acumen of Clemson Athletic Director Dr. Terry Don Phillips. Now in his 10th year leading the Clemson program, Phillips has enhanced the Tiger program on many levels. The 2010-11 season marked the fourth straight year the Clemson men’s basketball program reached the NCAA Tournament, a first in the 100-year history of that program. The Tiger football team has been bowl eligible each of Phillips’ nine previous years and has had four top-25 final rankings. The baseball program has been to the NCAA Tournament eight of his nine years and has been to the College World Series twice. In addition to the success of the high-profile sports in 2010-11, the women’s track & field program won the ACC title both indoor and outdoor, the second straight year they accomplished that feat, and finished in the top 20 in the nation at both national meets. The men and the women both finished in the top 25 at the indoor meet. The rowing program had its third consecutive top-15 finish and the women’s tennis team made its ninth consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance. Overall, seven different teams finished in the top 25 in the nation. In his nine years at Clemson, it has had 53 teams finish the season in the top 25, including the golf team that won the 2003 national title. Five different women’s sports have captured ACC titles during his tenure. Only Virginia has had a wider variety of women’s sports win league titles. The 2010-11 academic year was also a year of great accomplishment on an individual basis. Track athletes Patricia Mamona (triple jump), Miller Moss (heptathlon), and Brianna Rollins (60 meter hurdles) won national titles.
Golfer Corbin Mills won the United States Public Links National Golf Championship. Women’s tennis players Josipa Bek and Keri Wong reached the finals of the NCAA Doubles Championship, a first in Clemson’s storied program. Defensive end Da’Quan Bowers won the Bronko Nagurski Award as the top defensive player in college football. One of the reasons for Clemson’s level of success as a total sports program has been his emphasis on improving facilities. On June 30, 2009, Clemson’s football staff moved into the WestZone at Memorial Stadium. It was a day that brought a smile to everyone associated with the program, but especially Phillips, who had been working toward that day before he arrived on campus in 2002. Phillips’ vision for the WestZone was to create a top-ofthe-line facility for the football program, but at the same time have a positive effect on the total sports program. The facility at Memorial Stadium now creates more office space, new locker rooms, and training room and strength training facilities for the Olympic sports programs. Clemson recently completed a new boathouse for the rowing program, one of the top facilities in the nation, added the new multi-million-dollar Thomas F. Chapman Grandstands at Doug Kingsmore Stadium, and a new clubhouse area at the Hoke Sloan tennis facility. Clemson’s golf program will open the Larry B. Penley, Jr. Golf Facility in September of 2011, as it will be among the top golf facilities in the nation. There are also significant facility improvements in the works for Riggs Field and the program’s soccer facility along with a new baseball locker room. During the 2011 spring semester, nearly 50 percent of Clemson’s student-athletes were on the academic honor roll and seven of the 15 programs had team GPAs of at least 3.0. All 19 Clemson teams posted APR scores of at least 945 and 13 of the 19 were over 975. Clemson’s football program had a 977 APR score for the 2009-10 data, a cohort of four years that ends with the student-athletes who were on the team for the 2009-10 academic year. Clemson was 11th out of all FBS programs in terms of APR score.

Phillips has been recognized for these accomplishments in recent years. He was named as one of the top100 Most Influential Sports Educators in America in 2008, a selection made by The Institute for International Sport at the University of Rhode Island. Phillips’ athletic career and academic pursuits epitomize that desire. Believed to be the only Division I athletic director with both a doctorate and law degree, he uniquely blends the discipline and inspiration created on each side of campus. He has firmly put his imprint on the University and Tiger athletics by creating a balanced, positive environment for success that emphasizes academic integrity, student-athlete welfare, and competing at the highest levels with unequivocal NCAA compliance. Phillips was also recognized nationally for his performance at Clemson in June of 2006 when he was honored by NACDA (National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics) as the 2005-06 GeneralSports Turf Systems Athletic Director-of-the-Year for the Southeast Region of the FBS. He was one of just four FBS athletic directors honored at the annual convention in New Orleans, LA. Excellence in academics has been a lifelong pursuit. He has an undergraduate degree from Arkansas (1970), a master’s degree from Virginia Tech (1974), a doctorate degree from Virginia Tech (1978), and a law degree from the University of Arkansas School of Law (1996). He is a member of the Arkansas Bar, South Carolina Bar, American Bar Association, and Sports Lawyers Association. Phillips maintains a classroom presence by teaching a sports law section in Clemson’s accountancy & legal studies department. In addition, he is past chair of the NCAA Division I Infractions Appeals Committee and continues to serve the committee as requested. Prior to coming to Clemson, Phillips served as athletic director at Oklahoma State. Football was transformed from a perennial losing status to very competitive, enjoying a return to bowl games after several years and establishing a winning record against instate rival Oklahoma. For this, he received the National Football Foundation Oklahoma Chapter Outstanding Contribution to Amateur Football Award in 2002. Also in 2006, he was named one of the top-25 most influential people in the history of Oklahoma State athletics by GoPokes Magazine. This recognition reflected the substantial success of the all-sports program and the momentous facility development under his leadership. Before leading Oklahoma State, he served as senior associate athletic director at Arkansas from 1988-94. He also served as athletic director at Liberty (1980-81) and Louisiana-Lafayette (1983-88). He was an assistant athletic director at Missouri (1981-83) and began his administrative career in 1979 as an assistant athletic director at Florida. Phillips began his career in college athletics coaching football. He started as a graduate assistant at Arkansas in 1970 and 1971. He moved on to Virginia Tech as an assistant coach (1971-78) before joining the ranks of athletic administration. At Virginia Tech, he served on coaching staffs that included future Clemson Head Coaches Charley Pell and Danny Ford. Winning has been on Phillips’ resumé since his playing days at Arkansas. He lettered on three Frank Broyles teams, where he and his brother Loyd, an Outland Trophy winner, were starting defensive tackles, the first brother combination to start together under Broyles. Arkansas had a 27-5 record in the three years, played in two Sugar Bowl games, and he played in the memorable 1969 National Championship game against Texas, a contest that continues to be featured on ESPN Classic. In September of 2010, he joined his brother Loyd in the University of Arkansas Hall of Honor. Phillips has two children, John Dennis and Sarah-Jane, and three stepchildren, Meagan (Clemson graduate and former member of Tiger Band), Marshall, and Madison. His wife Tricia is a graduate of the University of Missouri School of Journalism and earlier enjoyed a career in athletics and development. She is now active in the Clemson and Seneca communities.

NCAA Compliance This brief NCAA rules education is aimed at outlining basic rules to help potential Clemson students-athletes, parents, and boosters better understand the regulations. Clemson University is committed to recruiting and con‑ ducting our athletic program with the highest level of integrity. If you have questions about NCAA rules, please contact Clemson’s compliance services at (864) 656-1580, through our website at ClemsonTigers.com, or via email at compliance-L@clemson.edu.
Are You a Booster?
What Every Booster Should Know
The NCAA definition of a “representative of athletics interest” generally encompasses most individuals who regularly attend Clemson sporting events (reminder once a representative, always a representative). Specifi‑ cally, a booster or “representative of athletics interests” is any individual, independent agency, corporate entity, or other organization that is presently or has ever: • Participated in promoting the institution’s athletic pro‑ gram (such as buying season tickets to sporting events). • Assisted in providing benefits (such as summer employ‑ ment) to enrolled student-athletes. • Assisted or been requested by the department of ath‑ letics staff to assist in the recruitment of prospective student-athletes. • Attended Clemson University. • Contributed to the department of athletics or IPTAY. • Participated in or been a member of IPTAY. • Been otherwise involved in the Clemson University ath‑ letics program.
• Extra Benefit - Any special arrangement by a Clemson employee, booster (IPTAY member), or alum to provide a prospective or enrolled student-athlete or their families and friends with a benefit not permitted by NCAA legis‑ lation. Examples of prohibited benefits include (but not limited to): • Arranging employment for family and friends of the student-athlete. • Free or reduced housing agreements. • Gifts of money, awards, food/drinks, or other tangible items. • Loans of money or automobiles. • Professional services without charge or at a discount. • Promises of employment or loans following college graduation. • Providing transportation for the student-athlete or their friends and family. • Use of ATM, credit, or other types of gift cards. • Institutional Control - A central principle of the NCAA bylaws. Institutional control requires that Clemson Uni‑ versity conducts its intercollegiate athletics program in compliance with NCAA rules and regulations. This in‑ cludes booster activities. • Prospective Student-Athlete - A student, regardless of their athletic ability, who has started classes for the ninth grade or any student enrolled at another two or four-year institution. • Recruiting - Any solicitation of a prospect or a prospect’s family by Clemson’s coaches or representatives of athlet‑ ic interest for the purposes of securing the prospective student-athlete’s ultimate enrollment and participation in athletics at Clemson. Only designated Clemson athletics department staff members may recruit. • Student-Athlete - A student whose enrollment was so‑ licited by a member of the Clemson athletic department staff or other representative of athletics interest with a goal of the student’s ultimate participation in Clemson’s intercollegiate athletics program. Student-athletes are not just those that were recruited or receive athletic scholarships, they are also those that participate in inter‑ collegiate athletics.
Ask Before You Act Prospective student-athletes may... • Identify outstanding potential student-athletes in your area and forward information, such as newspaper ar‑ ticles, to the coach of that sport at Clemson. • Continue to establish friendships with friends and neigh‑ bors, even those with prospect-aged children. However, contact for recruiting purposes is still prohibited. • Attend, on your own initiative, events such as games and banquets where prospective student-athletes are pres‑ ent as long as you do not contact the prospect(s) or their family for recruiting purposes. • Answer a call from a prospective student-athlete (you may not initiate the call) regarding only Clemson Uni‑ versity in general, but not about Tiger athletics. Please promptly inform compliance services or the coach should this situation arise. • Make donations to a high school if it is located in your community, the donation is not made at the request of Clemson or Clemson coaches, and the funds are distrib‑ uted through established channels and not directed to‑ wards a specific student-athlete.
CUAD Mission Statement The Department of Athletics offers nationally prominent athletic programs. Through a dedicated commitment to educa‑ tional interests, a competitive athletic program, and integrity in all areas, the student-athletes, coaches, and staff strive to bring credit and recognition to Clemson University. The mission of the Athletic Department is to sponsor a broad-based athletic program that provides educational and ath‑ letic opportunities for young men and women to grow, develop, and serve the interests of Clemson University by complementing and enhancing its diversity and quality of life. Furthermore, the Athletic Department seeks to be a source of pride for the citizens of the State of South Carolina and to be recognized as a nationally-prominent program, through consistently high levels of performance and accomplishment in athletic competitions. The Athletic Department strives to develop student-athletes academically and athletically with the total commitment of aiding their efforts to graduate from Clemson University and advance to careers that will enable them to be productive members of society. The Athletic Department will act in an ethical and honest manner, dedicated to compliance with all Federal, State, NCAA, Conference, and University rules and regulations.

Current student-athletes may... • Continue to come out and support student-athletes at Clemson athletic events. • Provide summer employment to student-athletes, but only if you contact Clemson’s office of compliance servic‑ es (compliance-L@clemson.edu) first and the studentathlete is compensated for work actually performed at a rate commensurate with the going rate in the locality for similar services.
Activities That Will Harm Prospective Student-Athletes You may not... • Contact (including phone calls, texts, and email) or inter‑ act with a prospective student-athlete or their family for the purpose of persuading them to attend Clemson. • Contact coaches, guidance counselors, or other school administrators in order to gain information on prospec‑ tive student-athletes. • Make contact with a prospective stu‑ dent-athlete or the prospect’s family during official or unofficial visits. • Provide any other extra benefits to pro‑ spective student-athlete, family, friends, or their coaches. • Provide prospective student-athletes or their family and friends with transporta‑ tion or financial assistance.
Activities That Will Harm Current Student-Athletes You may not... • Generally provide benefits that are not available to other members of the Clem‑ son student body. • Provide extra benefits to student-ath‑ 2011 Tiger Football

You could lose the privilege of purchasing season tickets, the privi‑ lege of being an IPTAY member, or any other Clemson athletic-related benefit deemed appropriate. • Harm to the Enrolled Student-Athlete - Violations can also result in the enrolled student-athlete or entire team being unable to compete for Clemson University.
THIS IS CLEMSON UNIVERSITY Located in front of Tillman Hall is a statue of University founder Thomas Green Clemson, whose mission in the late 1800s was to establish an education institution to teach scientific, agriculture, and the mechanical arts to South Carolina’s young people.

Clemson University University founder Thomas Green Clemson was born in Philadelphia, PA and educated in the United States and Europe. A champion of formal sci‑ entific education, he had a life-long interest in agri‑ cultural affairs and in the business of farming. He came to the South Carolina Foothills when, in 1838, he married Anna Maria Calhoun, daughter of South Carolina’s famous statesman John C. Calhoun. In the post-Civil War days of 1865, Thomas Clemson looked upon a South that lay in economic ruin, once re‑ marking “this country is in wretched condition, no money and nothing to sell.

Vickery Hall
Since its inception in 1991, the Student-Athlete Enrich‑ ment Programs have provided student-athletes a continued commitment to excellence. Our approach is to address the total student-athlete, and we are committed to coaching our student-athletes to success in the academic, personal growth, career, and community service arenas. As an original member of the NCAA CHAMPS/Life Skills Program, we provide opportunities and services to address the changing needs and skills of student-athletes during college and after graduation. This program was selected for the FBS Athletic Director’s Association “Program of Ex‑
cellence” Award, a lifetime award recognizing CHAMPS/Life Skills excellence. Clemson’s commitment to provide its student-athletes with the best facilities is evident in many ways. From the soaring upper decks of Memorial Stadium and the beautiful WestZone, to the “New Littlejohn Coliseum,” to the state-ofthe-art strength training facility, young men and women from all of Clemson’s intercollegiate varsity sports have the best in facilities for both training and competition. The Student-Athlete Enrichment Programs are housed in Vickery Hall, located in the center of campus. The $3-mil‑
lion structure is as impressive aesthetically as other athletic facilities. But the importance of Vickery Hall to our studentathletes is not found in the structure itself, but in the many programs that the building houses. Vickery Hall opened in 1991 and was the first facility in the country constructed solely to provide academic sup‑ port to student-athletes. The two-story, 27,000 square-foot building is open all day and into the evening hours to ac‑ commodate student-athletes’ extended schedules. Vickery Hall programs are dedicated to providing a ho‑ listic, educational experience by inspiring an environment of

respect, integrity, and excellence. Through these services, Vickery Hall guides and encourages each individual to reach his or her full potential as a student, athlete, and citizen. Vickery Hall was recently certified (as one of only 15 programs in the country) by the National Association of Academic Advisors for Athletics. The tutoring program was certified (as one of only three programs in the nation) by the College Reading & Learning Association as well.
Academic Commitment Ten of Clemson’s 19 sports programs had their highest Academic Progress Report Scores on record, including the football team along with the men’s and women’s basket‑ ball teams, according to statistics released by the NCAA in 2011. All 19 programs posted scores of at least 945 and 13 of the 19 were over 975. The APR measures classroom per‑ formance of student-athletes for every Division I program. Teams scoring below the 925 cutline can face penalties. Head Football Coach Dabo Swinney has the highest career APR score (988) among active FBS coaches. Over 90 percent of his seniors that have stayed to the end of their careers have graduated.
In the 2011 spring semester, seven of the 15 programs had team GPAs of at least 3.0 and the overall GPA was 2.90. A total of 227 of its 441 student-athletes were named to the academic honor roll, including 94 on the Dean’s List. The programs that posted a 3.0 GPA or better were the women’s swimming & diving (3.59), women’s track & field (3.22), women’s soccer (3.22), volleyball (3.14), men’s soc‑ cer (3.06), rowing (3.03), and women’s tennis (3.03) teams. The number of sports programs with a 3.0 GPA or bet‑ ter is a testament to the impact Vickery Hall and its staff has had on the program’s academic performance. Clem‑ son had just five total programs with at least a 3.0 GPA for the eight semesters prior to the facilities opening in 1991. Now there are seven different programs in one semester. The football team compiled a 2.45 GPA for the spring and 26 of the team members had at least a 3.0 GPA. Ten Tigers, including Dalton Freeman and Malliciah Goodman, made the Dean’s List, while five Tigers, including Mason Cloy and Dawson Zimmerman, made the President’s List. Clemson had six players named to the 2010 Academic AllACC team, second only to Duke. The list includes Freeman, Rashard Hall, Cloy, and Zimmerman.
Clemson was one of only 10 schools in the nation to be selected to a bowl game, the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, and the NCAA Baseball Tournament in 201011. Clemson joined Florida State as the only schools in the nation to advance to a bowl game along with the NCAA Tournament for baseball and men’s basketball in three consecutive seasons. This is the 10th year that Clemson has been to a bowl game, the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tour‑ nament, and the NCAA Baseball Tournament in the same academic year. Seven programs finished the 2010-11 season with a top-25 national ranking. The highest-ranked team to end the season was women’s outdoor track & field, which fin‑ ished #7 at the NCAA Championships. The other sports that finished their respective seasons in the top 25 were women’s indoor track & field (#11), women’s tennis (#14), rowing (#15), baseball (#16), men’s indoor track & field (#22), and men’s swimming & diving (#25). The team of Josipa Bek and Keri Wong advanced to the championship match of the NCAA Tennis Doubles Tournament. The Tiger tandem knocked off two of the top-three national seeds and won a school-record 34 matches together during their historic season, which cul‑ minated with the runner-up finish. Clemson’s women’s track & field program earned its second consecutive sweep of the ACC women’s track & field championships (indoor and outdoor) with a 69.5-point margin of victory in the outdoor meet at Dur‑ ham, NC in April. Miller Moss won the NCAA Championship in the hep‑ tathlon, the first multi-event title in school history. Brianna Rollins won the indoor national championship in the 60m hurdles with a Clemson-record time of 7.96. Patricia Ma‑ mona defended her national championship in the triple jump, becoming only the second female in Clemson his‑ tory to win more than one individual national champion‑ ship. Da’Quan Bowers was one of the most decorated ath‑ letes at Clemson in many years, as he was a unanimous first-team All-American, just the fourth player so honored in school history. The junior also won the Bronko Nagurski Award as the top all-around defensive player in the nation as chosen by the Football Writers Association along with the Ted Hendricks Award as the top defensive end in the country.
Offensive lineman David Smith was one of several Tiger football players who graduated in Littlejohn Coliseum in May, 2011. He along with the tireless work of the Vickery Hall staff are big reasons Dabo Swinney’s career APR score (988) is best among FBS head coaches.

Memorial Stadium
Clemson’s Memorial Stadium has been held in high esteem for many years. Whether it be players from the 1940s and 1950s, opposing players from the 1970s and 1980s, or even professional players in the 1990s, the ambiance of this special setting is what college football is all about. The storied edifice added to its legend when the first meeting of father and son head coaches (Bowden Bowl I) took place before a sellout crowd of more than 86,000 fans in 1999. Clemson has been in the top 20 in the nation in average attendance 30 straight seasons. A crowd has exceeded 80,000 fans 57 times since the 1983 season. In 2010, Clemson was 18th in the nation in average home attendance. The facility’s mystique is derived from its many tradi‑ tions, which date to its opening in 1942, the legendary games and players, and Clemson’s corresponding rate of success. Clemson has won 256 games in 69 years there and has won nearly 72 percent of the contests (256-99-7).

The stadium has definitely been good to the Tigers, but it was constructed against the advice of at least one coach. Just before Head Coach Jess Neely left for Rice after the 1939 season, he gave Clemson a message. “Don’t ever let them talk you into building a big stadium,” he said. “Put about 10,000 seats behind the YMCA. That’s all you’ll ever need.” Instead of following Neely’s advice, however, Clemson officials decided to build the new stadium in a valley on the western part of campus. The place took some clearing, as there were many trees, but luckily there were no hedges. The crews went to work, clearing, cutting, pouring, and forming. Finally on September 19, 1942, Memorial Stadium opened with Clemson defeating Presbyterian College 32-13. Those 20,000 seats installed for the opener would soon grow. When the original part of the stadium was built in the early 1940s, much of the work was done by scholarship athletes, including many football players. The first staking

out of the stadium was done by two members of the foot‑ ball team, A.N. Cameron and Hugh Webb. Webb returned to Clemson years later to be an architecture professor and Cameron went on to become a civil engineer in Louisiana. The construction of the stadium did not proceed without problems. One afternoon during the clearing of the land, a young player proudly announced that he was not allergic to poison oak. He then proceeded to attack the poison oak with a swing blade, throwing the plants to and fro. The next day, the boy was swollen twice his size and was hospitalized. There are many other stories about the stadium, includ‑ ing one that Frank Howard put a chew of tobacco in each corner as the concrete poured.

Memorial Stadium Death Valley Quotes “Running down the Hill is still talked about everywhere I go. Players who played against Clemson when I was in college remember us running down the Hill and thinking we would gain some type of spirit on the field. The adrenalin rush was unbelieveable for a Clemson player and quite a shock for the opponent on gameday.” Former Clemson All‑American Jerry Butler “I came here knowing it would be loud and Clemson would hit hard, but the noise was the biggest factor. I didn’t concentrate as well because of it.” Herschel Walker after Clemson’s 13‑3 win in 1981, his only regular-season loss “The Rock has strange powers. When you rub it and run down the Hill, the adrenaline flows. It’s the most emotional experience I’ve ever had.” Six‑time All‑Pro and Tiger All‑American Michael Dean Perry “When Clemson players rub that Rock and run down the Hill, it’s the most exciting 25 seconds in college football.” Brent Musburger, ABC Sports “There is no place louder or more picturesque than Death Valley. There, where Clemson folks see magic in a hill and a rock, orange gets more respect than anywhere this side of Gainesville, Florida.” Terence Moore, Atlanta Journal-Constitution “When you get to the bottom of the Hill, it’s like you’re in a hole and all around you are nothing but Clemson fans. It’s like the crowd is one big voice. You feel like little kings.” Former Clemson running back Rodney Blunt “Death Valley really lives up to its image. I was impressed with this stadium. When you put 80,000 people in there, it feels like they are on top of you. I’d hate to be whoever comes here to play Clemson.” San Francisco quarterback Steve Young “Florida was loud in the swamp. But the loudest, not only stadium, but the loudest place I have ever been around in my life was definitely Death Valley. I was yelling at the top of my lungs and I couldn’t even hear what I was saying. That place was unreal in how loud it was. I don’t think I will ever be in a louder place than Clemson.” Florida State quarterback Chris Rix, 2001
Howard said that the seeding of the grass caused a few problems. “About 40 people and I laid sod on the field,” he said. “After three weeks on July 15, we had only gotten halfway through. “I told them that it had taken us three weeks to get that far and I would give them three more weeks’pay for however long it took. I also told them we would have 50 gallons of ice cream when we got through. After that, it took them

three days to do the rest of the field. Then we sat down in the middle of the field and ate up that whole 50 gallons.” Howard said that on the day of the first game in the stadium,“the gates were hung at 1:00 and we played at 2:00.” But that would be all of the construction for a while. Then in 1958, 18,000 sideline seats were added, and in 1960, 5,658 west endzone seats were added in response to increasing attendance. With the large east endzone (“Green Grass” section), this expansion increased capacity to 53,000. Later, upper decks were added to each side of the sta‑ dium as crowds swelled - the first in 1978 and the second in 1983. It increased capacity to over 80,000, which makes it one of the nation’s largest on-campus stadiums. In 2006, the WestZone was added, an area that contains locker rooms and a luxury club level that holds 1,000 seats. The effect that inflation has had can be dramatically seen in the differences in stadium construction. The original part of Memorial Stadium was built at a cost of only $125,000, or $6.25 per seat. The stadium’s newest upper deck was finished in 1983 at a cost of $13.5 million, or $866 per seat. Through the years, Memorial Stadium has become known as “Death Valley.” It was tagged by the late Presby‑ terian College Coach Lonnie McMillian in the late 1940s. After bringing his teams to Clemson for years and getting whipped, he said the place was like “Death Valley.” A few years later, the name stuck. In 1974, the playing surface was named Frank Howard Field for the legendary coach because of his long service and dedication to Clemson University. Luckily, it wasn’t built behind the YMCA. 2011 Tiger Football

“I’m very thankful that we’re playing a day game at Clemson. The last time we were up there, it was extremely loud. I yelled the calls to my guard, but we couldn’t hear each other and we couldn’t hear each other in the huddle. When you have fans that can get that loud and distract offenses like that, that’s as important as having an All-American on your defense.” Florida State center David Castillo, 2005 “In 2005, Clemson’s Memorial Stadium, commonly known as ‘Death Valley,’ reached an astounding 126 decibels when a packed crowd of 79,135 fans observed Charles Bennett’s sack of Kyle Wright during the Tigers’ three-overtime heartbreaker against Miami (FL). This level easily surpassed the old record of 121 decibels set by Louisiana State fans in Tiger Stadium, which holds 92,400 fans.” RealFootball365.com “The game when I was a sophomore (in the 2005 season) stands out for me. What an awesome place that is to play. I’ll never forget that atmosphere, and I know for a fact I’ve never seen so much orange in one place at one time. If you’ve never been there, going out on the field for the first time at Clemson is incredible.” Boston College quarterback Matt Ryan, 2007 “We go to a lot of great venues for college football, but this place doesn’t take a back seat to any place. In terms of the atmosphere, stadium, the noise, and the facilities, this is a special place on a Saturday night.” ESPN commentator Todd Blackledge, 2009 “When you go down there, there are a couple of things you know. It’s going to be loud. It’s going to be challenging and it’s going to be fun. It’s a great atmosphere. There is real football fever and it is not just a Saturday afternoon activity. There is a real passion and real fever for Clemson football. I’ve always enjoyed going there because it is challenging.” Virginia Head Coach Al Groh, 2009

Running Down The Hill
What has been described as, “the most exciting 25 seconds in college football” from a color and pageantry standpoint actually started out as a matter-of-fact entrance, mainly because of necessity. The first 20,000 seats in Memorial Stadium were built and ready for use before the 1942 season, less than a year after Pearl Harbor was bombed and the United States was drawn into World War II. The shortest entry into Memorial Stadium was a short walk down Williamson Road from Fike Fieldhouse’s dressing

rooms to a gate at the top of the Hill, which is located behind the east endzone. There were no dressing facilities inside the west endzone of Memorial Stadium...there was only a giant clock, where the hands turned, and a scoreboard that was operated by hand. The team would dress at Fike Fieldhouse, walk down Williamson Road, come in the gate underneath where the scoreboard now stands, and jog down the Hill for its warmup exercises. There was no fanfare, no cannon shot fired, no Tiger Paw flag, no “Tiger Rag” played...just the team

making its entrance and lining up to do the side-straddle hop. That is pretty much the way things went for the next 25 years. Either in 1964 or 1965, S.C. Jones, a member of the class of 1919, made a trip to California. He stopped at a spot in Death Valley, CA and picked up a white flint rock. He presented it to Head Coach Frank Howard as being from Death Valley, California to Death Valley, South Carolina. The rock laid on the floor in Howard’s office in Fike Field‑ house for years. One day, he was cleaning up his office and told Gene Willimon, who was executive secretary of IPTAY, to “take this rock and throw it over the fence or out in the ditch...do something with it, but get it out of my office!” Willimon did not think that was the way a rock should be treated. After all, it had been brought 2,200 miles by a very sincere Tiger fan. By the mid-1960s, Memorial Stadium was living up to its moniker (“Death Valley”) because of the number of Tiger wins that had been recorded there. Actually, the name was first used by Lonnie McMillian, head coach at Presbyterian College during the 1940s. McMillian and the other Blue Hose coaches before him used to open each season by playing at Clemson. Seldom scoring (24 shutouts in 39 games) and with only three victories and four ties to show for it, his teams were getting “killed” by the Tigers regularly. In 1948, McMillian made the comment to the press that he was taking his team to play Clemson in “Death Valley.” An occasional reference to Memorial Stadium by that name could be heard for the next four years, but when Howard started calling it “Death Valley” in the 1950s, the name took off like wildfire. Clemson celebrated its 69th year in the “Valley” in 2010. But getting back to Howard’s Rock. The Rock was mounted on a pedestal at the top of the Hill on the east side of the stadium. It was unveiled September 24, 1966 when Clemson played Virginia. The
Running Down The Hill Tigers were down 18 points with 17 minutes left and came back to win 40-35 on a 75-yard pass from Jimmy Addison to Jacky Jackson in the fourth quarter. That was quite a debut for the Rock. The team members started rubbing the Rock prior to running down the Hill on September 23, 1967, a day when Clemson defeated Wake Forest by a score of 23-6. Prior to running down the Hill that day, Howard told his players, “If you’re going to give me 110 percent, you can rub that Rock. If you’re not, keep your filthy hands off it.” Howard told of the incident during the following day on his television show, and the story became legend. When Hootie Ingram succeeded Howard as head coach prior to the 1970 campaign, Ingram decided that the team would make its final entrance on the field out of the dress‑ ing room in the west endzone. In all home games during the 1970 and 1971 seasons and the first four games of 1972 when the Tigers did not run down the Hill, their combined record was 6-9. The team decided it wanted to come down the Hill once prior to the South Carolina contest during the 1972 season. The result, in a cold, freezing rain, was a 7-6 victory when Jimmy Williamson knocked down a two-point conversion attempt, which preserved the narrow win. The Tigers have made the entrance for every home game since 1942, except for the seasons mentioned above (347 times entering the 2011 season). After final warmups, the team gathers back in its dress‑ ing room under the west endzone stands for its final game instructions. Approximately 10 minutes prior to kickoff, the team boards three buses, rides around behind the north stands to the east endzone, and disembarks to the top of the Hill behind Howard’s Rock. At the appointed time, the cannon booms, and led by a giant Tiger Paw flag, the band forms two lines for the team to run between and strikes up “Tiger Rag”...the frenzy starts in all sincerity and usually lasts for three hours. It is a tradition that has inspired Clemson players for many years.

Strength & Conditioning A significant aspect of Phase II of the WestZone proj‑ ect at Memorial Stadium was the construction of a new strength training facility on the first floor that is adjacent to the Clemson locker room and the Frank Howard Field playing surface. For the first time, there is a strength training facility exclusively for the development of the Clemson football team. Director of Strength & Conditioning Joey Batson, who is in his 15th season at Clemson, makes sure that all Tiger gridders are ready to compete against the top teams in the nation. In his first 14 years in Tigertown, Clemson
has played in 12 bowl games and he has coached 20 strength All-Americans on the gridiron. It is the fourth major facilities construction since Bat‑ son joined the Tiger football program, an example of his desire to keep Clemson at the forefront of strength train‑ ing. The new facility has the best in all strength training equipment, not to mention the existence of a new sound system and nine new flat-screen televisions that give Tiger football players a pleasant atmosphere to accomplish the most strenuous work.
The strength training facility actually has two floors. The first has all the free-weight equipment, including a dumbbell area, and the second has cardio-equipment. Batson has a staff of eight assistants working with the football team. Joining Batson are veteran Strength Coach‑ es David Abernethy and Larry Greenlee along with Gradu‑ ate Assistants Josh Milner and Adam Smotherman. Five more assistants deal in player development year-round. Those assistants include former Tigers La’Donte Harris, Bobby Hutchinson, Brian Mance, and Damonte McKenzie along with Brandon McCombs.
Facility Highlights • 11 power racks • 11 8x8 Olympic platforms • 11 custom-built racks • Football sleds that monitor power output and speed off the ball • Cardio equipment • Full line of leverage equipment • Powerstation • Nine flat-screen televisions • Awards wall

Joey Batson Director of Strength & Conditioning 15th Season at Clemson Newberry ‘85
Joey Batson is in his 26th year as a strength & condi‑ tioning coach at the collegiate level and 15th year as direc‑ tor of strength & conditioning at Clemson. He has served as a head strength & conditioning coach 22 of his 26 years of service. Batson was named master strength & conditioning coach by the Collegiate Strength & Conditioning Coaches Association (CSCCA) in 2009. This honor is the highest given in the strength & conditioning profession. Batson was presented with a blue MSCC jacket on May 7, 2009. “This is an incredible honor for Joey,” said Dr. Chuck Stiggins, CSCCA executive director. “Being named a mas‑ ter strength & conditioning coach signifies a commitment to the student-athlete, a commitment to the Clemson ath‑ letic program, and a commitment to the strength & condi‑ tioning profession. We are honored to have him as a mem‑ ber of our association and to have him join the ranks of the master strength & conditioning coaches. He is a model of an outstanding strength & conditioning professional.” Batson, who was named National Strength & Condi‑ tioning Coach-of-the-Year by FootballScoop.com in the fall of 2009, was familiar with the Tiger program before he started his career in a full-time capacity, having served as a graduate assistant in the strength & conditioning depart‑ ment (1985-88). In the course of his professional career, he has pioneered many training techniques in the strength, speed, and conditioning field. These training strategies referred to by Batson as “Not So Basic Strength Training” were picked up from powerlifting guru Louie Simmons in the mid 1990s. The collection of innovative techniques has led to impressive results by many of his athletes throughout his career.

His competitive weight training experience began in 1987, when he placed fourth in San Jose, CA in The American Drug Free Powerlifting Associa‑ tion National Championships and fifth the following year in Chicago, IL. From 1985-87, Batson achieved a top-20 ranking in the ADFPA’s 275-pound class and achieved the master & elite lifters classifications. Batson has had a strong impact on the Clem‑ son program since he became director in 1997. He has had much to do with the success of the football program, helping the Tigers to 12 bowl games and five top-25 final rankings. While at Clemson, he has worked for three head football coaches and has had a tremendous impact throughout the state at many notable high school programs. An example of his respect level in the profession is demonstrated by the number of former assistants who are now assistants and/or directors at other universities, in‑ cluding conferences such as the ACC and SEC, along with several high-profile high school programs in the state. Prior to his return to Clemson, Batson served as the first full-time director of strength training at Furman. In 1996, he was named Strength & Conditioning Profession‑ al-of-the-Year in the Southern Conference by the National Strength & Conditioning Coaches Association after the Paladins advanced to the second round of the Division I-AA playoffs. In addition to his four years at Furman, he also worked as the first full-time director of strength & conditioning at Bowling Green, and served a year at South Carolina as assistant director of strength & conditioning. Not only does Batson bring professional experience to the position at Clemson, he brings experience as a football

player at the collegiate level. The Travelers Rest, SC native was a tight end at The Citadel in 1979 before transferring to Newberry, where he was a two-year letterman and team co-captain during his senior season. Batson earned his bachelor of arts degree in physical education from Newberry in 1985 and his master’s degree in education from Clemson in 1988. Prior to his collegiate career, Batson was named to the 1977 all-state football team as a defensive end in high school. He is certified through the Collegiate Strength & Con‑ ditioning Coaches Association and is a member of several other professional groups. He has completed the Club Coach Certification program by the United States Weight‑ lifting Federation. Batson is married to the former Susan Malone of Greenville, SC. The couple has two sons, Michael and Ben‑ jamin.

1981 National Championship Team Notes of Interest on the 1981 Team • Clemson won its first national title in any sport and the first for the ACC in football in 28 years. • Clemson had five different players earn All-America honors, more than any other Tiger team in history. • There was no controversy concerning the voting of the National Champion in 1981. Clemson ended the season as the only undefeated, untied team in Division I after the bowl games and was the only team with three wins over top-10 teams. • Head Coach Danny Ford (age 33 at the time) remains the youngest coach in history of college football to win the National Championship. • Clemson forced 41 turnovers in the 12 games, still a school record for turnovers forced in a season. • During one stretch in the season, the Clemson defense held the opposition without a touchdown for 18 consecutive quarters and no opponent scored a rushing touchdown against Clemson during the first seven games of the season. • Clemson won the national title in 1981 after going 6-5 the previous season. The Tigers were unranked in every preseason poll entering 1981. • Clemson’s improvement of 5.5 games from 1980 to 1981 was the largest improvement in the nation. • Only one team (Wofford) had more time of possession in a game against Clemson all season. • Clemson had the lead at the end of the first quarter in just four of the 12 games. • Clemson scored 316 points during the regular season of 1981, the exact same total Georgia scored in its 11-game regular season of 1980, the year the Bulldogs won the national title. • Good health was a big reason for Clemson’s success in the 1981 season. Only five different starters missed any games during the entire season and no player missed more than two games all year. A collective total of only eight games were missed by five starters during the 1981 season. • No opponent had a run from scrimmage longer than 26 yards and no opponent had a play over 30 yards all season.

Clemson forced nine turnovers and held Herschel Walker out of the endzone in its 13-3 victory over #4 Georgia on September 19, 1981.
touchdown play against Clemson was 25 yards, on a halfback option pass from Mike Rozier to Anthony Steels of Nebraska in the Orange Bowl. • During offseason conditioning in the summer of 1981, Strength Coach George Dostal constructed a simple sign for his strength training facility...”1982 Orange Bowl, Clemson vs. Nebraska.” • The Clemson senior student who was in charge of pep rallies for the 1981 season was former CBS This Morning anchor Jane Robelot. • The day after Clemson defeated North Carolina in Chapel Hill, NC, placekicker Donald Igwebuike flew to Maryland, where Clemson’s third-ranked soccer team defeated Maryland 4-0 to clinch the ACC title. Igwebuike played on two ACC Championship teams during that fall, both of which finished ranked in the top 10 in the nation.
Records Set in 1981 That Stand Today • Points vs. ACC opponent (82 vs. Wake Forest, 10/31) • Rushing yards in the modern era (536 vs. Wake Forest, 10/31) • Total offense yards in a game (756 vs. Wake Forest, 10/31) • Third-down conversion percentage in a game (100.0 (12-12) vs. Wake Forest, 10/31) • Turnovers forced in a game (9 vs. Georgia, 9/19) • Wins in a season (12) • Wins over top-10 teams in a season (3) • Turnovers forced in a season (41)

ACC Football ACC Schools are #1...Period! In the latest American University rankings by U.S. News & World Report, ACC schools hold the highest composite ranking of any conference in the FBS. Clemson is #23 among public institutions.
ACC Football is #1 in Academics! By any measurement, whether it is the NCAA’s Graduation Success Rate, which calculates the graduation rate of each school’s football program, or the NCAA’s Academic Progress Rate, which measures both graduation and retention, the ACC ranks #1 among all collegiate conferences in the FBS. The ACC has led the nation in football GSR for the past six seasons and has led in the APR since its inception five years ago. Additionally, ACC head football coaches lead the nation in their composite APR.
ACC Leads All Leagues in NFL Production... According to a study covering 2005-10, or since the ACC became a 12-team league, former ACC players lead alumni of all other FBS conferences in three categories of NFL productivity...first-team AP All-Pro citations (6), percentage of draftees playing at least one NFL game (86 percent), and games played in the NFL (4,890).
ACC Leads All Conferences in Pro Bowl Picks... Over the past two seasons, alumni from current ACC schools have earned significantly more selections to the Pro Bowl than have the alumni of any other conference. A total of 47 players from current ACC schools were selected to play in the past two Pro Bowls. The SEC was next with 30 selections.
ACC Leads All Conferences in NFL Linebackers... In each of the past three years, the ACC has had more linebackers on NFL rosters than any other conference. In 2010, 53 players from current ACC schools were listed as

ACC Schools Have Claimed 10 National Titles...
ACC Accounted for 25 Percent of Top Draftees
Current ACC schools have captured 10 Nationals Championships in football, including five by Miami (FL), two by Florida State, and one each by Clemson, Georgia Tech, and Maryland.
Of the first 60 players picked in the 2011 NFL draft, 15 were ACC players. That gave the ACC 25 percent of the cream of the crop in the 2011 draft. The next closest conference (SEC) had 10 players chosen in the first 60 picks.
50 ACC Teams to Bowls in the Last Six Years...
ACC Teams Have Been Most-Viewed Non-BCS Bowls...
During that time, only the SEC (52) has sent more teams to bowl games than has the ACC. The ACC set a single-season NCAA bowl participation record in 2002, when seven of its nine teams went to bowl games (78 percent)
Aside from this year’s BCS Games, ACC schools played in seven of the 10 most-viewed bowl games in ESPN history, including the 2010 Chick-fil-A Bowl (#5) and Music City Bowl (#7).

2010 Season Notes Clemson in NCAA Statistics Clemson was in the top 25 in the nation in a number of statistical categories. Below is a rundown of Clemson’s standing in various categories.
The 2010 Tiger defense finished in the top 25 in the nation in seven statistical categories.
• #4 (tied) in rushing touchdowns allowed (8) • #9 (tied) in touchdowns allowed (27) • #10 (tied) in tackles for loss (7.4) • #13 in scoring defense (18.8) • #16 in first downs allowed (17.1) • #19 in total defense (320.3) • #22 in passing defense (191.8) • #24 in net punting (38.2)
Clemson Strong on Pass Defense The Tigers were 26th in the nation in pass efficiency defense (116.2) in 2010. DeAndre McDaniel had four interceptions to lead the team and also led the defense in tackles (84). 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. This is no surprise considering Clemson has been in or near the top 25 in the nation in pass efficiency defense each of the last seven years.

Tough Schedule for the Tigers Clemson played a tough schedule in 2010. The Tigers played 10 teams that played in bowl games. Only Notre Dame and South Carolina played more (11). The Tigers’ 10 bowl opponents were the most in school history. Eight teams on Clemson’s schedule totaled seven regular-season wins, also a high in Clemson history. Clemson played two non-conference games against top-25 teams, #15 Auburn, who won the National Championship, and #17 South Carolina, who played for the SEC title against Auburn. It was the first time since 2005 and just the second time since 1989 that Clemson 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 was the only ACC team to face two nonconference opponents ranked in the top 25 in the 2010 regular season. 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 committed 23 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 64 turnovers in Dabo Swinney’s 34 games as head coach (1.9 per game). Clemson outscored the opposition 61-56 in terms of points off turnovers in 2010. Twenty-six of the 56 opponent points off turnovers took place in two games, losses to #16 Miami (FL) and #17 South Carolina. In six of the 13 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
108
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.
Clemson Players-of-the-Game Each week during the regular season, Clemson coaches select a player-of-the-game for the offense, defense, and special teams. Below is the game-by-game rundown in 2010.
Seniors Established Marks Clemson’s 2010 seniors accomplished quite a bit with 31 wins in the books. The group (20 seniors) enjoyed playing in Death Valley and had a 21-7 record (.750) in the four years at home. That percentage was ahead of Clemson’s all-time winning percentage of 71 percent at home. The group also recorded 12 wins over teams who finished the season with a winning record and 15 wins over teams that played in bowl games, including three in 2010 (Georgia Tech, Maryland, N.C. State). In ACC play, the team 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, the class experienced a final top25 ranking and won nine games, tied for the most victories for the program since 1990.

Clemson in the Top 20 Nationally in Home Attendance Clemson averaged 77,469 fans per home game in 2010, a figure that was 17th-best in the nation according to the NCAA website. It marked the 30th consecutive year Clemson 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 was 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 an increase of 1,676 fans per game over the 2009 season. The 2010 season marked the 12th consecutive season Clemson averaged at least 75,000 fans per home game. The Tigers also led the ACC in average attendance this year, while Florida State was second with 71,270 fans per home game. Three Former Tigers Scored NFL TDs on One Day Former Tigers Jacoby Ford, Michael Palmer, and Chansi Stuckey all scored touchdowns in NFL games on November 7, 2010. 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.
2010 Season Notes 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 became the second former Tiger to return a kickoff for a touchdown in 2010. 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. Four Tigers Named First-Team All-ACC Four Tigers, including three starters on defense, were named First-Team All-ACC in 2010. The team was released by the Atlantic Coast Sports Media Association. 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 was 13th in the nation in scoring defense. Clemson had more first-team selections to the All-ACC defensive team than any other school. It was the first time that the Tigers had three first-team selections on defense since the 2000 season and the first time Clemson 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 & 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. 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. Scott Served 12 Seasons at Clemson Associate Head Coach and Offensive Guards & Centers Coach Brad Scott served in his 12th season as an assistant coach at Clemson in 2010. He 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 in 1999 and 2000, and also took on the role of offensive coordinator from 2001-03. Scott was also a part of the first father-son coaching combination in Clemson history. His son, Jeff, was in his second full season as Clemson’s wide receivers coach and recruiting coordinator in 2010.
Da’Quan Bowers won the Bronko Nagurski Award as the naton’s best defensive player after the country in sacks (15.5). 2011leading Tiger Football ClemsonTigers.com

Benton Already Owns Kicker Tackle Record Placekicker Spencer Benton had six special teams tackles in 2010 and has 15 in his career. In 27 games over two seasons, 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 in 2009 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 had three touchbacks in 64 kickoffs in 2010, but 19 times the Tigers held their opponent inside the 21 to start a drive. He was a big reason Clemson had a 4.4yard advantage when it came to starting a drive after a kickoff. Tiger opponents started on average at their own 25 after a kickoff, while Clemson started at its own 30 on average. Bowers Received Hendricks Award & Nagurski Award Junior defensive end Da’Quan Bowers won the Ted Hendricks Award and Bronko Nagurski Award in 2010. 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 was 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 af-

2010 Season Notes Bowers’ tackle-for-loss total was 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.
In 2010, Da’Quan Bowers became Clemson’s fourth unanimous, first-team All-American.
Bowers Moved Up ACC Sack List Junior defensive end Da’Quan Bowers had 15.5 sacks in 2010, just a half a sack short of the Tiger single-season record. His total was also seventh-best in ACC history. Bowers’ 15.5 sacks were the most by any ACC player since 1999, when Clemson’s Keith Adams had 16. Bowers owns the Clemson single-season sack record for a defensive lineman, three more than Gaines Adams had in 2006. ACC Single-Season Leaders in Sacks Rk 1. 2. 3. 7. 8.

ter. “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 led the nation in sacks (15.5) and tied for the national lead in tackles for loss (26). His sack total was second-best in Clemson history and was the most by an ACC player since 1999, when Keith Adams had a Tiger-record 16 sacks. Bowers’ tackle-for-loss total was 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-ofthe-Year. 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 in 2010, 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 tabbed as 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 in 2010. The others were 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 led the nation in sacks (15.5) and tied for the national lead in tackles for loss (26). His sack total was second-best in Clemson history, including best among defensive linemen, and was 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 was second on the team in tackles (74). Clemson was 13th in the nation in scoring defense.

Ellington Reached 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 was 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 in 2009 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.

DeAndre Hopkins led the 2010 team in receptions (52) and receiving yards (637) as a freshman.
Hopkins Led Receivers as a Freshman Freshman wideout DeAndre Hopkins was Clemson’s leading receiver in 2010 with 52 receptions for 637 yards and four touchdowns. He led the team in all three categories. Hopkins came on strong the last five games. During that time, he had 34 catches for 451 yards and three of his four touchdowns. He had three 100-yard receiving games in that time period, 106 yards at Florida State, 124 yards against #17 South Carolina, and 105 yards against South Florida. Hopkins’ 52 receptions were second-most in Clemson history among all freshmen and most among first-year freshmen. His yardage figure was also best among firstyear freshman in school history. Hopkins, who was a third-team freshman All-American by Phil Steele, was 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 Smith’s nephew.

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 among the top-10 candidates. Zimmerman averaged 42.5 yards on 63 punts in 2010. But his net punting figure of 40.6 (not including touchbacks) was remarkable. That was the third-best figure in Clemson history. Only Dale Hatcher’s 42.4-yard net average in 1984 and his 40.9-yard figure in 1983 are better. Only 18 of his 63 punts were returned in 2010 for a total of 130 yards. Nineteen of his punts were inside the 20 and just seven resulted in touchbacks. At one point, he went five consecutive games without allowing a punt return yard. 2011 Tiger Football

Zimmerman’s season 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 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 1.

September 4, 2010 Memorial Stadium • Clemson, SC
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.

Da’Quan Bowers had two of Clemson’s six sacks, while Jarvis Jenkins added three of the Tigers’ 13 tackles for loss.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Meineke Car Care Bowl • December 31, 2010 Bank of America Stadium • Charlotte, NC
B.J. Daniels was 20-27 passing with two touchdowns to earn game MVP honors and lead South Florida to a 31-26 win over Clemson at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, NC in the Meineke Car Care Bowl on December 31. It was the first-ever meeting between the two. South Florida built a 17-3 lead thanks to two touchdown passes by Daniels, who completed 14 passes in a row at one point. But a costly
Bull fumble led to Jamie Harper’s one-yard touchdown run with 30 seconds left in the first half that cut the Bulls’ halftime lead to 17-13. In the second half, touchdown runs by Moise Plancher and Daniels gave the Bulls a 31-13 lead. With 1:47 left in the game, Tajh Boyd, who had taken over for an injured Kyle Parker at halftime, connected with Brandon Ford for a six-yard touchdown pass. After Clemson recovered Richard Jackson’s ensuing onside kick, Boyd hit Ford for another touchdown pass, this time for 10 yards with 43 seconds left. Jackson’s next onside kick was recovered by DeAndre McDaniel, but he first touched the ball at the 39, giving the ball to the Bulls. Clemson was 3-3 on fourth-down conversions and outgained the Bulls 296-279, but South Florida was 9-14 on third-down conversions and used its quick passing game to neutralize the Tigers’ pass rush. DeAndre Hopkins had nine receptions for 105 yards, both gamehighs, while Ford, who totaled four catches for 45 yards, became the first Tiger with two receiving touchdowns in a bowl game.

Clemson Ring of Honor Members The Ring of Honor is the highest honor a Clemson student-athlete can receive. A recipient must first be a member of the Clemson Hall of Fame, earn at least an undergraduate degree, and make a significant contribution to the heritage of Tiger athletics. Honorees will have their jersey retired.
Ring of Honor Members Rusty Adkins was the first baseball player named to the Clemson Ring of Honor in 1997. He is the only threetime All-American in Tiger baseball history (1965,66,67). A three-time First-Team AllACC player, Adkins hit .444 in 1965, an average that remained a Tiger record for 37 years. Adkins had a 41-game hitting streak that remains in the top 10 in NCAA history. He was also named to the ACC’s 50-Year Anniversary team in 2002. Bob Bradley was the first administrator named to the Ring of Honor in 2005. He served Clemson for 45 years in the sports information office as director and emeritus director. He received the Arch Ward Award as the College Sports Information Directors of America Man-of-the-Year in 1976. He was inducted into the organization’s Hall of Fame in 1975, the Clemson Athletic Hall of Fame in 1985, the Gator Bowl Hall of Fame in 2000, and the South Carolina Hall of Fame in 2001. The press box at Memorial Stadium was named in his honor during the 1988 season as well. Jerry Butler joined teammate Steve Fuller in the Clemson Ring of Honor in 1999. The two-time All-ACC player was a First-Team AP All-American in 1978 when he joined Fuller in leading Clemson to a #6 final national ranking and 11-1 record. He caught at least one pass in 36 consecutive games, a record that still stands today. In 1979, Butler was the #5 overall draft pick of the NFL by the Buffalo Bills, where he played at a Pro Bowl level for eight seasons. Fred Cone, who was inducted into the Ring of Honor in 1997, was the first player in Clemson history to rush for at least 2,000 yards in a career. Cone played for the Tigers from 1948-50. He is fourth on the Clemson career list for rushing touchdowns with 30. Cone was a starter on two undefeated Clemson teams (1948,50), one of only two players in school history to accomplish that feat.

Dale Davis was the first men’s basketball player inducted into the Ring of Honor in 1999. He was a three-time All-ACC pick from 1987-91 and a first-team pick in 1990 in leading Clemson to its first ACC regular-season championship. He is still among the ACC’s top 10 in career field-goal percentage. The first-round draft pick of the Indiana Pacers played 16 seasons in the NBA. He totaled 8,706 points and 8,605 rebounds in 1,094 games in his career.
Terry Kinard, who played for the Tigers from 1978-82, was inducted into the Ring of Honor in 2001, the same year he was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. The native of Sumter, SC was named national defensive player-of-the-year by CBS Sports during his senior season in 1982. Kinard was named to the All Decade of the 1980’s College Football team by USA Today and to the All-Century team of College Football by Sports Illustrated in 2000.
Jeff Davis, captain of the 1981 National Championship team, joined the Ring of Honor in 1995. He was a first-team All-American in 1981 when he led the team in tackles (175). Davis was also named MVP of the ACC and defensive MVP of the Orange Bowl victory over Nebraska, the game that clinched the national title for the Tigers. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in December of 2007.
Tina Krebs was the first track athlete named to the Ring of Honor in 2003. A cross country, distance, and middle distance runner from 198286, her versatility helped shape Clemson women’s track & field. She was an eight-time All-American in cross country, indoor track, and outdoor track, and was a three-time NCAA Champion, still the only athlete in any sport in Clemson history to win three national titles.
Steve Fuller was a charter member of the Ring of Honor in 1994. He is one of three football players in Clemson history to be chosen an AllAmerican on the field and in the classroom in the same year. Fuller was a two-time, first-team academic All-American and a Third-Team AP AllAmerican in 1978. He is still the only Tiger to be named ACC Player-of-the-Year twice, and was an NCAA Top Five Award winner in 1979, the only Tiger athlete to win the award.
Banks McFadden was one of three charter members of the Ring of Honor in 1994. He was named the nation’s most versatile athlete in 1939 when he was an All-American in football and basketball in the same calendar year. He is the only Clemson athlete to accomplish that feat. He led the Tigers to their first bowl bid, a 6-3 win over Boston College in the 1940 Cotton Bowl, and to the Southern Conference basketball title. He was the #4 pick of the 1940 NFL draft, tied for the highest in school history.
Frank Howard was a charter member of the Ring of Honor in 1994. As head coach from 1940-69, he led Clemson to eight league titles, six bowls, and six top-25 seasons. Howard, who had 165 wins, was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1989, and is the second-winningest coach in ACC history. B a r b a r a Ke n n e d y w a s Clemson’s first female athlete named to the Ring of Honor in 1999. She holds the school’s along with the ACC’s career mark for points (3,113) and rebounds (1,252). She was a two-time All-American in 1981 and 1982, and threetime First-Team All-ACC player in 1980, 1981, and 1982. She remains the only two-time All-American and three-time First-Team All-ACC selection in Clemson history as well.

Charles Warren won the 1997 NCAA title, the first in Tiger golf history. That year, he defeated Brad Elder (Texas) in a one-hole playoff to win the honor. The following year, he finished second and was the recipient of the Dave Williams Award as the top senior golfer in the nation. Warren was a three-time All-American who led Clemson to a third-place national finish in 1997 and a second-place finish in 1998. He is now on the PGA Tour. The 1981 Football Team was inducted into the Clemson Ring of Honor during the fall of 2006 in conjunction with the team’s 25-year anniversary celebration of winning the national title. Every player, coach, manager, and administrator associated with that team is considered in the Ring of Honor within the team concept. The Tigers had a perfect 12-0 record that season, as they defeated Nebraska by a score of 22-15 in the 1982 Orange Bowl to claim the National Championship. For more information on Clemson’s 1981 squad, see pages 65-67.

Former Head Coaches Walter Riggs 1896,99 Walter Riggs could easily be called the father of Clemson Football. He coached the football program at Clemson, not only because he had football experience, but he was also one of only two people on the Clemson campus to have ever seen a football game when the sport started in 1896. (The other person was Frank Thompkins who played in the backfield on Clemson’s first team in 1896). On September 30, 1896, a small crowd gathered in one of the barrack’s rooms and the group discussed the feasibility of organizing a football association. A committee of three was appointed to consult Professor Riggs as to management of a football team and to ask his aid as coach. When the Tigers traveled to Furman for their first game on October 31, 1896, it was the first time that many of the players had ever seen a full-sized regulation football field. Riggs stepped down as football coach after the first season because the players wanted him to devote all of his time to being a professor in the engineering department. Riggs could easily be called a loyal man, as he answered the need of the Clemson football team again in 1899. The Clemson Athletic Association was low on money and could not afford to hire a coach. Therefore, Riggs once again answered the call of the school and became the head coach in 1899 for free. Riggs originally came to Clemson from Auburn. He graduated with top honors in 1892 with a B.S. degree in electrical and mechanical engineering. At Auburn, he was captain and catcher of the baseball team as well as the manager and left end of the football team. He also served as class president and was the director of the Glee Club. Upon his graduation at Auburn, he was assistant to the president of the college until 1896, then he made his trek to Clemson. Riggs later became president of Clemson on March 7, 1911 and in 1915, a new football stadium with other athletic facilities was named in his honor as Riggs Field. It is currently the home of the Tiger soccer team. In two years of coaching, Riggs guided the Tigers to a career record of 6-3.
W.M. Williams 1897 Clemson’s second coach, W.M. Williams, was a native of West Point, GA. He played at Auburn on the teams of ’94, ’95, and ’96, under the coaching of John Heisman. He was considered the best blocking halfback in the south. Williams led Clemson to the state championship and to a 2-2 season. During his time as coach, Clemson played two games in three days. Clemson was victorious over the Charlotte Y on October 23, but lost to North Carolina 28-0, on October 25.
John Penton 1898 The Tigers’ third coach, J.A. Penton of Alabama, was captain and starting guard on the University of Virginia teams of ’93, ’94, and ’95. He was captain of the ‘95 Virginia Team that beat UNC to win the Championship of the South. Penton also played fullback at Auburn in ’97 under John Heisman’s coaching. Under Penton, Clemson won 55-0 over Bingham in its first home game, as W.C. Forsythe kicked every point after touchdown (11). In his only season at Clemson, Penton guided Clemson to a 3-1 record and the state championship.
John Heisman 1900-03 One of the most famous football coaches in the nation, John Heisman,coached at Clemson from 1900-03. He turned Clemson from virtually an unknown college to a southern powerhouse at the turn of the century. Heisman attended Brown University, taking the two-year law course offered at that time, and was a
center on the football team. In the fall of 1889, he transferred to the University of Pennsylvania. He lettered in football at both schools and graduated from Pennsylvania in 1893. In the spring of 1894, Walter Riggs was a graduate manager for the football team at Auburn. It fell on his shoulders to find a coach for the season of 1895. Riggs wrote to Carl Williams, the Pennsylvania captain of 1894, asking him to suggest a suitable coach. He replied recommending J.W. Heisman, an ex-Penn player, and his coach at Oberlin. After several weeks, Riggs finally found Heisman in Texas, where he was raising tomatoes. Having sunk all of his capital into the tomato venture, he was glad to return to his old love. He readily went to coach at Auburn for $500 a year. His coaching career began at Oberlin in 1892 and lasted 36 years. It included positions at Akron, Auburn, Clemson, Georgia Tech, Penn, Washington & Jefferson, and Rice University. He had an overall career record of 185 wins, 70 losses, and 17 ties. John Heisman invented the hidden ball trick, the handoff, the double lateral, and the “flea flicker.” He pioneered the forward pass, arguing that it would scatter the mob. Heisman also originated the center snap and the word hike (previously the center used to roll the ball on the ground to the quarterback). Heisman guided Clemson to conference titles in 1900 and 1902, and he led the Tigers to their first “bowl game” in 1903, when Clemson and Cumberland met on November 26 for the “Championship of the South.” Cumberland, who had earlier defeated Auburn, Alabama, and Vanderbilt, was considered to be champion of the southern states of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, and Kentucky. The game was played on a neutral site, Montgomery, AL. Cumberland and Clemson fought to an 11-11 tie. After the news got back to Clemson that the game was a tie, the students and the local townspeople built a bonfire and paraded around the campus. Overall, Heisman took Clemson to a 19-3-2 record in his four seasons. His 83.3 winning percentage is still the best in Clemson history. He was also the Clemson baseball coach from 1901-1903.
Shack Shealy 1904 Shack Shealy holds the distinction of being the only Tiger to have coached his alma mater. He lettered at Clemson from 1896-99 and later played two years at Iowa State. Shealy was a four-year starter playing right guard, end, and in his senior year, he played in the backfield. He only coached Clemson one year (1904) and led the Tigers to a 3-3-1 record, including wins over Alabama, Georgia, and Tennessee.

1905 Ed Cochems lettered at Wisconsin in 1899, 1900, and 1901. Cochems was described as a great halfback or end on the strong Wisconsin teams at the turn of the century, including the undefeated team of 1901. During his playing career, he had a 100-yard kickoff return in a 35-0 win over Chicago in 1901, and had four touchdowns against Notre Dame in 1900. After his playing days, he immediately went into coaching. He was the head coach of North Dakota in 1902 and 1903 and served briefly as an assistant with former teammate, Art Curtis at Wisconsin in 1904. Cochems led Clemson to a 3-2-1 record overall, including wins over Georgia and Auburn. After his Clemson career, he was head coach and athletic director at Saint Louis in 1906.
Former Head Coaches Frank Shaughnessy 1907 Frank Shaughnessy was known for his ability as a sports administrator. He served many positions, from a pro hockey coach to the International Baseball League Commissioner. A graduate in pharmacy at Notre Dame, he was captain of the baseball and football teams during his senior season. After his graduation in 1905, he coached baseball at Notre Dame. The summer before coming to Clemson, he played for Ottawa of the Eastern League. That summer, he played left field and ended the season with a .352 batting average. He also played with Washington and the Philadelphia Athletics. At Clemson, he coached the baseball teams during 1907 and 1908, and he was head football mentor in 1907, where he posted a 4-4 record. Shaughnessy made his name in baseball, but he took part in many other sports. Besides being a sports legend at Notre Dame, he managed the NHL’s Ottawa Senators to the Stanley Cup Finals in 1915, and he coached football teams at Clemson, Washington & Lee, and McGill University. He retired as the president of the International Baseball league. In a game against Kansas, Shaughnessy ran 107 yards for the only Irish score, as Kansas won the game 24-5. Football fields were 110 yards back then and touchdowns were five points. This is still a Notre Dame record.
John Stone Frank Shaughnessy led the Tigers to wins over North Carolina and Georgia Tech in the 1907 season.
After the forward pass was legalized in 1906, Cochems did something with the pass at once in his first year at Saint Louis, while other coaches stuck with the running game. He taught his players not to throw the ball end-over-end, but instead like a projectile - a spiral. He called this new weapon a projectile pass. Historians credit Cochems as being the first coach to use and perfect the first legal pass in a game. The first studied refinements in throwing the ball, which led to the spiral, occurred in 1906 under Cochems. Brad Robinson of Saint Louis threw the first forward pass to Jack Schneider in a game played September 5, 1906 in Waukensha against Carroll College.
Bob Williams 1906,09,13-15,26 Bob Williams is one of the few coaches in the nation to have coached football at two rivals. Williams coached football at both Clemson and South Carolina. Before coming to Clemson, he coached at Davidson in 1905. He coached at South Carolina for two years and guided the Gamecocks to a 6-1 record in 1902 and an 8-2 slate in 1903. In his career at South Carolina, he administered the most unexpected defeat of Clemson, as he beat a heavily favored Heisman team, 12-6 in 1902. He served the Tigers as head coach a total of four terms (1906,09,13-15,26). Between the years of 1915 and 1926, Williams practiced law in Roanoke, VA and was the city’s mayor. One of the highlights of his career included leading the 1906 team to an unbeaten season (4-0-3), which included wins over Georgia, Auburn, Tennessee, and a Heismancoached Georgia Tech squad.
1908 John Stone is one of three coaches to have graduated from Vanderbilt and later become the head football coach at Clemson. While at Vanderbilt, he was a member of the All-Southern Football team for four years. He was a big man for his time, standing 6’2”. Clemson was 1-6 in 1908, but the Tigers lost many of their star players and substitutes from 1907 due to a college prank that saw 306 students expelled.
Frank Dobson 1910-12 Frank Dobson was a pro baseball player before coming to Clemson, as he was the property of the Pittsburgh Nationals. Walter Riggs, President of the Clemson Athletic Association, thought it was unfair to keep shuffling coaches year after year. He offered Dobson a three-year contract, which was the first contract offered and signed by a Clemson coach. At Clemson, he coached football, basketball and baseball. He was Clemson’s first basketball coach, leading it to its only undefeated season (4-0) in history in the inaugural season (1911-12). In 1912-13, Clemson had a 9-5 record. He was head baseball coach from 1911-13.

During his last two seasons prior to his arrival to Clemson, he coached various sports at Technical High School in Washington, D.C.
Edward Donahue 1917-20 Edward Donahue had to be one of the most organized men in the country. During the 1918-19 academic year, Donahue was the head coach of four Clemson sports...football, basketball, baseball, and track. During his four-year career, he served as basketball and baseball coach for two years and head track coach for one season. He was an outstanding athlete at Washington & Lee, where he played in the backfield on the football team and played catcher on the baseball diamond. Upon graduation, he was an assistant in football and was the head baseball and basketball coach.
E.J. Stewart 1921,22 E.J. Stewart was head football coach for two years at Clemson, 1921-22. However, he coached more than one sport during his stay at Tigertown. In the spring of 1921, Stewart coached the baseball and track teams while conducting spring football practice. During the fall, Stewart’s football team had a 1-6-2 record, but he improved to a 5-4 slate in 1922. He went on to coach the track teams in 1922 and 1923. Stewart was a standout athlete in football, baseball, basketball, and track at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, OH. Upon his graduation, Stewart played, organized, and served as head coach of the Massilon (OH) Professional football team. Stewart also coached at Nebraska and Texas. At Nebraska, he led the Cornhuskers to a combined record of 11-4 in 1916 and 1917. The Cornhuskers also captured the Missouri Valley Conference title during both seasons. After leaving Nebraska, he entered the automobile business as President and Treasurer of the Stewart Motor Co. Due to the economic conditions at the time, he decided to go back into coaching.
Bud Saunders 1923-26 Bud Saunders graduated from Missouri in 1911 with a bachelors degree in Law. At Missouri, he played both football and basketball. Saunders wanted to play two other sports, but a conference rule forbid a student-athlete from participating in more than two sports. Saunders served as football coach at Knox College before arriving at Clemson. In football, Saunders coached for four seasons from 1923-26. He also coached the basketball teams in 1924 and 1925. Saunders’ best season in football came during the 1923 campaign, as he led the Tigers to a 5-2-1 record.

Former Head Coaches Josh Cody 1927-30 Josh Cody, fondly known as “big man,” will always be a favorite to Clemson fans. Cody, a big man in stature at 6-2, 220 pounds, led Clemson to victories over South Carolina for four straight years. He is the only coach in Clemson history who has been around more than two seasons who never lost a football game to South Carolina. He also defeated Furman three straight years. Cody had a 13-0-1 record in home games and posted a 72 percent winning mark overall, the fourth-best mark in Clemson history. After a 5-3-1 start in 1927, Cody guided Clemson to back-to-back 8-3 seasons in 1928 and 1929. On May 6, 1929 to show appreciation, he was given a new Buick by the alumni, student body, and faculty. This presentation took place in front of Tillman Hall. In his final season (1930), the Tigers finished with a final record of 8-2. Cody also coached basketball at Clemson for five years and guided Clemson to a 16-9 slate in 1930. During the 1928-30 seasons, he guided Clemson to a 22-4 mark at home.
Jess Neely 1931-39 Clemson played in its first bowl game under Jess Neely in the 1940 Cotton Bowl. The Tigers, unknown at the time, became a household word after beating heavily-favored Boston College 6-3 in the Cotton Bowl. It was the Tigers’ first win over a top-20 team. Clemson had a 43-35-7 record during Neely’s tenure. Neely came to Clemson in 1931 and his recruitment of Banks McFadden brought Clemson to another level of competition. In 1938, Neely coached Clemson to a secondplace finish in the Southern Conference with a 7-1-1 record. In 1939, Banks McFadden became Clemson’s second All-American, and the team concluded the season with a trip to Dallas for the Cotton Bowl. Neely left Clemson in January of 1940 and moved on to Rice, where he took that school to new heights. Neely is a member of the College Football Hall of Fame. Neely’s landmark accomplishments in the 1930s at Clemson contributed significantly to Clemson’s outstanding football tradition.
Frank Howard 1940-69 Frank Howard succeeded Jess Neely in 1940 when Neely moved on to Rice. He got the job when he seconded his own nomination during a meeting of the president and athletic council. He signed a one-year contract, then lost the document, and never had another in his 30 years as head coach. He graduated from Alabama in 1931, where he was a star lineman. He played in the 1930 Rose Bowl, then started his coaching career under Neely at Clemson in 1931, and was a part of a rebirth of Tiger football in the late 1930s. He was an assistant on the 1939 team that posted a 9-1 mark and beat Boston College 6-3 in the Tigers’ first bowl game. In 1940, he began his head coaching career with a bang as he won the Southern Conference championship, the first of eight conference titles Howard won in his coaching career. Howard had his most successful season in 1948 when he took Clemson to an 11-0 record, the Tigers’first perfect season since 1900. The campaign included a Southern Conference championship, a Gator Bowl win over Missouri, and a #11

final ranking. He nearly duplicated the feat in 1950 when he guided Clemson to a #10 AP final ranking, a 9-0-1 finish and a 15-14 win over Miami (FL) in the Orange Bowl. When he retired in 1969, Howard was the fifth winningest coach in the nation with 165 victories. He had 96 wins as an ACC coach, now second in conference history, and he captured six (five outright and one co-championship) ACC titles, a record Bobby Bowden broke in 1998. Howard’s teams appeared in six bowl games, 63 of his players were drafted by the NFL, and 37 played in the league. Howard, a native of Barlow Bend, AL, had six top-20 seasons, won eight conference titles (two Southern, six ACC), won 100 conference games and was a two-time ACC Coach-of-the-Year. He coached 25 academic All-ACC selections and five Academic All-Americans. Eleven of his players were chosen on-the-field All-Americans. Howard was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1989.
Hootie Ingram 1970-72 Hootie Ingram will be best remembered as the coach who made the Tiger Paw famous. Before his first year as head coach in the summer of 1970, Clemson introduced the Tiger Paw as the official logo of Clemson University’s Athletic teams. Ingram graduated from Alabama in 1955. He also received his master’s in school administration from Alabama and later became Crimson Tide athletic director. The native of Tuscaloosa, AL was an All-Southeastern Conference defensive back for the Crimson Tide his senior year. Ingram had his best season at Clemson in 1971 with a 5-6 record. He also finished second in the ACC standings with a 4-2 league mark in 1971.
Red Parker 1973-76 Red Parker spent four years at Clemson as head coach.

Charley Pell 1977,78 Charley Pell, who was Clemson’s head coach in 1977,78 authored college football’s Cinderella story in 1977. The Albertville, AL product took a team that was 3-6-2 in 1976, and led the ’77 Tigers to an 8-21 regular-season mark and a berth in the Gator Bowl. It was Clemson’s first final top-20 season since 1959. He coached Clemson to a 10-1 regular season in the 1978 season before he left to become head coach at Florida. Clemson’s 1978 team beat Ohio State in the Gator Bowl and finished ranked #6 in the AP poll in his second year as Clemson’s head coach. He was a near unanimous choice as ACC Coach-of-theYear in 1977 and 1978, the first coach, regardless of sport, to win ACC Coach-of-the-Year honors in each of his first two years. A two-way starter and three-year letterwinner at Alabama, Pell was on its 1961 National Championship team. He came to Clemson in 1976 and served as assistant head coach and defensive coordinator. Pell passed away in June, 2001 after battling cancer.
Danny Ford 1978-89 Danny Ford had an auspicious beginning to his head coaching career. He gained a 17-15 victory over Ohio State in the 1978 Gator Bowl in a nationally-televised game. The 30-year-old coach, the youngest in Division I at the time, also defeated a college football legend in a contest that truly put Clemson football on the national map, as he defeated Woody Hayes in the latter’s last game. He had taken over the coaching reigns on December 10, 1978 when Charley Pell resigned to become head coach at Florida.
Former Head Coaches Ford kept things going in 1979 with wins over Georgia and Notre Dame and another trip to a bowl (Peach). In 1981, he helped Clemson reach the summit of college football by winning the national title. His Tigers downed three top-10 teams during the course of the 12-0 season that concluded with a 22-15 win over Nebraska in the Orange Bowl. Ford was named National Coach-of-the-Year. The wins continued in 1982 and 1983, as Clemson had consecutive 9-1-1 years. Clemson finished in the top 12 in both years, and had a 30-2-2 record over a three-year period, best in the nation. Clemson won three straight ACC titles under his guidance between 1986-88. In 1989, Clemson registered a 10-2 season and top 12 national ranking, the fourth straight season Clemson finished in the final AP top 20. He closed his career with a 27-7 win over West Virginia in the Gator Bowl, his sixth bowl win in eight tries and his fourth in succession. Ford was the third winningest active coach in the nation on a percentage basis at the end of the 1989 season. He finished with a 96-29-4 career ledger at Clemson and remains one of only two coaches in ACC history with better than a 75 percent winning mark (minimum of four years). He finished with a 76-percent winning percentage and five ACC Championships, second only to Frank Howard’s six crowns. The 1969 Alabama graduate is still the youngest coach to win the national title, as he was just 33-years-old when the Tigers shocked the college football world in 1981. He coached 71 first-team All ACC selections and 26 AllAmericans. Forty-two of his former Tigers were drafted by the NFL, and he earned 18 wins over Associated Press top 20 teams during his career, more than any other Clemson coach. Additionally, 11 of his former players won Super Bowl Championship rings. At one stretch his teams were ranked in the AP top 20 for 41 consecutive polls, a Clemson record. Ford was an All-SEC pick and All-SEC Academic choice at Alabama. He attended Alabama initially on a basketball/ football scholarship, but he only played football after his freshman season. Ford played in three bowl games for the Crimson Tide. He later served as head coach at Arkansas from 1994-97. He is now retired and living in nearby Pendleton, SC.
Ken Hatfield 1990-93 Ken Hatfield led the Tigers to a 32-13-1 record over his four year tenure, led the squad to three bowl appearances and an ACC title. With a victory over Illinois in the 1991 Hall of Fame Bowl, Hatfield became the first Clemson coach to win 10 games in his first year and his .833 winning percentage was the best for a first-year Clemson coach since 1900, when John Heisman was 6-0. That season included six victories over teams with winning records, more than any other team that year with the exception of National Champion Georgia Tech. Hatfield was also just the eighth coach in the previous 13 years to take a team to a top-10 AP final ranking in his first year with the program, as the Tigers finished the season ranked #9 in the AP poll. The Helena, AR native would also lead the 1991 and 1993 Tiger teams to top 25-rankings. Clemson became the third school that Hatfield coached to a top-20 ranking, as his 1983 Air Force team ranked #15 and he led four Arkansas teams to top-20 rankings. Hatfield became the sixth coach in NCAA history to accomplish that feat. Hatfield played for three years at Arkansas (1962-64) and was a starter on the 1964 National Championship team. The defensive back earned his fame as the nation’s top punt returner in 1963 and 1964. He still ranks as the only player ever to finish in the top two in the nation in punt returns three straight years, as he finished second in 1962. He retired as the head coach at Rice in 2005 with 168 career victories. He is now retired and living in Arkansas.
Tommy West 1993-98 Tommy West’s five-year resumé as Clemson head coach included four bowl appearances, 12 road victories, 86 school records, and unparalleled academic excellence. West took Clemson to three straight bowl games between the 1995 and 1997 seasons, just the second Clemson coach in history to take the Tigers to bowl games in three straight seasons. Academically, 61 Tigers made the ACC Academic Honor Roll in his last four years, twice as many as the best previous four-year total in school history. West took over as head coach on November 29, 1993 and less than a month later had a bowl victory. The former Tennessee tight end succeeded Ken Hatfield, who left four days after a victory over South Carolina to end the 1993 season. It was West’s second tour of duty with Clemson. He had been a linebackers coach under Danny Ford between 198289. Clemson was 69-20-4 and had six AP top 20 finishes in that eight-year era. West coached the Tigers in the 1993 Peach Bowl, a thrilling 14-13 victory over Kentucky. He became the first coach in college history to gain victory in a bowl game in his first game without having coached the team in any capacity earlier in the year. West’s best season was 1995, as Clemson finished the regular season with five straight victories by 17 points or more and was invited to the Gator Bowl. Clemson was ranked in the top 25 of every poll at the end of the 1995 regular season. That Clemson team also finished fourth in the nation in rushing offense. West recruited some of the top players in Clemson history. The school was in the top 10 in the nation in NFL draftees during the 1998 and 1999 selection process, and all 11 players were recruited by West. The list included three first-round defensive selections (Trevor Pryce, Anthony Simmons, Antwan Edwards). Clemson was the only school in the nation to have six defensive players drafted in 1999 and the only school to have a first-round defensive choice in 1997, 1998, and 1999. The native of Gainesville, GA finished his career with a 31-28 record, and had four wins over top-25 teams. He was the head coach at Memphis from 2001-09 and he led the Tigers to a nine-win season and the program’s first bowl appearance in 32 years in the 2003 season. He took Memphis to five bowls overall and finished with a 49-61 record at Memphis.
I coaching matchup of father and son. Bobby Bowden’s Seminoles won that game by a score of 17-14, Florida State’s closest game in an undefeated National Championship season. The game attracted over 85,000 fans and the largest media contingent in the history of Memorial Stadium. There were nine Bowden Bowls overall, with Bobby winning five, but Tommy won four of the last five. Bowden took Clemson to an 8-0 start and a #3 national ranking in 2000 before finishing with a 9-2 regularseason record and a #14 final ranking. The regular season concluded with a 16-14 victory over a top-25 South Carolina team. A 50-yard pass from Woodrow Dantzler to Rod Gardner is regarded as one of the most-exciting plays in Clemson history. Dantzler went on to become the first quarterback in Division I history to reach 2,000 passing yards and 1,000 rushing yards in the same season (2001). Bowden also won ACC Coach-of-the-Year honors in 2003 when he led the Tigers to a 9-4 record. That season, the Tigers won their last four games, including a 26-10 win over #3 Florida State. That is the highest-ranked team Clemson has beaten in school history. Clemson defeated South Carolina 63-17 in the regular-season finale and completed the season with a 27-14 win over #6 Tennessee in the Peach Bowl. Clemson finished the year in the top 25 of both polls as well. Bowden finished with a 7-2 record against the Gamecocks. The 77.8 winning percentage is the best in school history among Tiger coaches who served the program at least five years. All seven of his wins were over Hall of Fame Head Coaches Lou Holtz and Steve Spurrier. After a 3-3 start to the 2008 season, Bowden resigned on October 13, four days after a 12-7 loss at Wake Forest. He had a 72-45 record (.615) at Clemson for those nineand-a-half seasons. Bowden never had a losing season, overall or in the ACC, during his nine complete seasons. He led the Tigers to eight bowl games.
Tommy Bowden 1999-08 Tommy Bowden was a consistent winner over his nine-and-a-half seasons as Clemson’s head coach. Between 1999 and 2008, he never had a losing season, and that included a streak of eight consecutive winning seasons between 2000-07. During those seasons, only four other Division I coaches had a winning season in all eight of those years with the same program. Bowden was a two-time ACC Coach-of-the-Year, joining Frank Howard, Charley Pell, and Danny Ford with that distinction. He first won the honor in 1999, his first year when he took over a team that had been 3-8 the previous season, to a 6-6 season against a top-10 schedule according to the Sagarin ratings. Clemson played three undefeated teams during the regular season (Marshall, Virginia Tech, Florida State). His first year included a nationally-televised game against Florida State that featured the first-ever Division 2011 Tiger Football
