PERSONNEL OVERVIEW

Offense

ClemsonTigers.com

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

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

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

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

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

DeANDRE HOPKINS IS SECOND IN THE NATION IN RECEIVING TOUCHDOWNS (16) AND HAS CAUGHT AT LEAST ONE TOUCHDOWN PASS IN NINE STRAIGHT GAMES.

PERSONNEL OVERVIEW

SENIOR DEFENSIVE BACKS JONATHAN MEEKS (#5), XAVIER BREWER (#9), AND RASHARD HALL (#31) HAVE COMBINED FOR 630 TACKLES, 28 TACKLES FOR LOSS, 26 INTERCEPTIONS, AND 46 PASS BREAKUPS IN 153 GAMES (95 STARTS).

CLEMSON 2012 CHICK-FIL-A BOWL MEDIA GUIDE

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

CHANDLER CATANZARO HAS MADE 72 OF HIS 74 PLACEKICKS IN 2012.

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

BOWL NOTES

Clemson’s Bowl History Clemson has a rich bowl tradition. One of the reasons has been Clemson’s historical success against schools with legendary football traditions. The list of schools Clemson has beaten in bowl games includes five of the top-12 winningest programs in the history of FBS...Nebraska (#4), Oklahoma (#5), Ohio State (#7), Tennessee (#8), and Penn State (#12). Clemson has 16 bowl victories, the 19th-highest total in FBS history. Ten of the 16 bowl victories have come against coaches who are in the College Football Hall of Fame. Of course, Clemson’s greatest bowl experience was the National Championship clinching victory over Nebraska in the 1982 Orange Bowl. The Tigers were ranked #1 in the nation entering that contest and faced #4 Nebraska and Head Coach Tom Osborne. Danny Ford led the Tigers to a 22-15 victory to give the Tigers the national title and made him the youngest (33) coach of a national championship team in college football history. He still holds that distinction. Clemson’s first bowl game was in the 1940 Cotton Bowl when the Tigers defeated Frank Leahy and Boston College, 6-3. Clemson won its first three bowl games, victories over Boston College, Missouri, and Miami (FL). The three coaches Clemson defeated in those games were Frank Leahy, Don Faurot, and Andy Gustafson, and all three are in the College Football Hall of Fame. Clemson has a football program that has been steady over the years in bowl games, no matter who has led the program as head coach. No less than seven different head coaches (Jess Neely, Frank Howard, Danny Ford, Ken Hatfield, Tommy West, Tommy Bowden, Dabo Swinney) have won bowl games for the Tigers. Overall, 10 of Clemson’s 16 bowl victories have come against coaches who are in the College Football Hall of Fame. That includes Joe Paterno, who suffered his worst margin of defeat in a bowl game to Clemson in 1987. Clemson has four bowl victories over coaches who are in the 200-win club. Woody Hayes (Ohio State), Tom Osborne (Nebraska), Paterno and Don Nehlen (West Virginia) are all coaches with at least 200 wins who lost bowl games to the Tigers. Clemson vs. Ranked Teams in Bowl Games Clemson has an 11-11 record in bowl games against top-25 opponents. That includes a 27-14 win over #6 Tennessee in the 2004 Peach Bowl, the last time the Tigers defeated a top-25 ranked team in a bowl game. Overall, Clemson has a 1-4 record against top-25 teams in the Peach/Chick-fil-A Bowl. Louisiana State is ranked #7 by USA Today and #9 by AP entering the Chick-fil-A Bowl. The #7 ranking is tied for the fifth-highest ranked team Clemson has faced in a bowl game. The highest-ranked team Clemson has faced is Louisiana State, who was ranked #1 entering the 1959 Sugar Bowl (1958 season). Clemson defeated #4 Nebraska when it won the national title in the 1982 Orange Bowl. Clemson also defeated #7 TCU in the 1959 Bluebonnet Bowl. Clemson is 3-2 against top-seven ranked teams in bowl games in its history as well.

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

field goal ended the drives. Clemson could do no better, as none of its first six drives went past midfield. Clemson moved to the Louisiana State 27 on its first drive of the second half, but a fumble gave the ball back to Louisiana State. On Clemson’s next possession, Louisiana State got the break it had been looking for. On fourth down, the ball slipped out of long snapper Paul Snyder’s hands on the punt snap and hit up-man Doug Cline in the leg. Duane Leopard recovered for Louisiana State at the Clemson 11. Louisiana State picked up two yards on its first three tries, but on fourth down, Billy Cannon hit tight end Mickey Mangham in the corner of the endzone for the only score of the game. Cannon kicked the extra point and Louisiana State led 7-0. Cannon was a first-team All-American that year and won the Heisman Trophy the following season. Clemson had one last chance late in the fourth quarter. It started at its 17, and 17 plays later, it was on the Louisiana State 28. However, Harvey White’s fourth-down pass to George Usry was incomplete. Louisiana State took over on downs and ran out the clock. After the game, Frank Howard said he was pleased with his team. “Hell, I think we’d have beat them if that boy had held onto that little screen pass (in the fourth quarter),” said Howard. “I was going for those two points to beat them. I didn’t think we would hold them to one touchdown, but I didn’t think they would shut us out.” “Louisiana State has a good team. They rate the #1 spot in the nation. Cannon is quite a boy. He deserves his AllAmerica rating.” “It was a wonderful victory. They’re just as fine when you win ‘em 7-0 as 30-0. I’m very happy that we won,” said Louisiana State Head Coach Paul Dietzel, who won the national title at age 34, still the third-youngest head coach to win the national title behind Clemson’s Danny Ford (1981) and Oklahoma’s Bud Wilkinson. 1996 Peach Bowl Recap Raymond Priester set a Clemson bowl record for rushing yards (151) during the 1996 Peach Bowl. On the defensive side of the ball, Trevor Pryce had three tackles for loss, one sack, and a caused fumble. Even with these fine accomplishments, Clemson still fell to Louisiana State 107. Louisiana State entered the game with a 9-2 record and a top-20 ranking in both polls. Nealon Greene opened the scoring for Clemson on a three-yard run for a touchdown. Clemson attempted to tie the score with under two minutes left on the clock, but failed to do so when Matt Padgett’s 52-yard field-goal attempt was blocked. Louisiana State ran out the clock.

One Road Stadium, One Season, Two Games Clemson opened the 2012 season in the Georgia Dome and will close the 2012 season in the Georgia Dome. Both games were/are against Tigers from the SEC. Clemson opened with a 26-19 win over #25 Auburn in the Chickfil-A Kickoff Game and will close in the Chick-fil-A Bowl against #7 Louisiana State. This is only the second time Clemson has played two games in the same away stadium in the same season. The only previous season was 1956, when Clemson lost a regular-season game at #8 Miami (FL) 21-0, then lost in the Orange Bowl to #20 Colorado 27-21. Double-Digit Wins Clemson recorded its 10th victory of the year, including its seventh in a row, in a 62-48 win over N.C. State on November 17. It is the first time since the 1987-90 era that Clemson has had consecutive 10-win seasons. Last year, Clemson was 10-4 and won the ACC Championship. Clemson has nine seasons of 10+ wins in history. The first double-digit victory season came in 1948, when Frank Howard’s team had a perfect 11-0 record, including a Gator Bowl win over Missouri. Clemson also won the Southern Conference that year. The record for wins in a season is 12, set by the 1981 team. That team was 11-0 in the regular season, then beat #4 Nebraska in the Orange Bowl to win the national title. The win over the Wolfpack gave Clemson 10 wins in the regular season for the first time since 1981. Clemson has won 10+ games in the regular season just four times (1948, 1978, 1981, 2012). A win in the Chick-fil-A Bowl over #7 Louisiana State would give Clemson its fourth season of 11 wins or more.

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

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

BOWL NOTES

Back-to-Back 10-Win Seasons Clemson has recorded back-to-back 10-win seasons. The Tigers were 10-4 in 2011 and won the ACC Championship with a 38-10 victory over #3 Virginia Tech. In 2012, Clemson is 10-2, including a 7-1 ACC record that tied for the Atlantic Division title.

In all four of those years, Clemson won the 10th game in a bowl game. Clemson and Louisiana State are two of 11 schools nationally with at least 10 wins each of the last two years. 10+ Win Schools in 2011 & 2012 School 2011 2012 Alabama 12-1 12-1 Boise State 12-1 10-2 Clemson 10-4 10-2 Georgia 10-4 11-2 Kansas State 10-3 11-1 Louisiana State 13-1 10-2 Northern Illinois 11-3 12-1 Oklahoma 10-3 10-2 Oregon 12-2 11-1 South Carolina 11-2 10-2 Stanford 11-2 11-2

Tigers Finish in BCS Top 15 Again Clemson was #14 in the final BCS standings, released on December 2. It marked the third time in the last six years that Clemson finished in the top 15 of the BCS standings and the fourth time overall. Clemson was #15 in 2011 and #15 in 2007. The 2000 season is the only other year Clemson had a top-15 finish in the BCS standings. Clemson is tied for ninth in the nation for the most top15 BCS finishes since 2007 (the last six seasons). Louisiana State and Oklahoma have the most with five, while Alabama, Boise State, Florida, Ohio State, Oregon, and Virginia Tech are tied for third with four apiece. Clemson, Georgia, Oklahoma State, Stanford, and TCU all have three top-15 finishes apiece during that time period. Clemson Ranked For 28th Straight Week Clemson is ranked in the top 25 of the AP and USA Today polls entering the bowl season, the 28th straight poll sets that Clemson has been ranked in the top 25. It is the longest streak Clemson has been ranked in at least one poll since the October 23, 1989 to October 24, 1992 era, when the Tigers were ranked in a record 50 con-

secutive polls (at least one). Clemson was also ranked in 45 straight polls (at least one each week) between November 3, 1986 to October 9, 1989. The only week Clemson was not ranked in a 95-poll streak between 1986-92 was on October 16, 1989 after a loss to Georgia Tech at Memorial Stadium. Therefore, this streak of 28 in a row is the third-longest streak in Clemson history. Alabama, Clemson, Louisiana State, Oregon, South Carolina, and Stanford are the only schools in the nation who have also been ranked in at least 28 consecutive polls. Six Wins Over Top-25 Teams in 21-Game Span When Clemson defeated #25 Auburn in the seasonopener, it gave Clemson its sixth win over a top-25 ranked team in a 21-game span. Clemson defeated four top-25 teams in 2011, the most in one season in school history, and downed a top-25 N.C. State team late in the 2010 season. Only three of the six victories came at Memorial Stadium. Clemson’s Wins Over Top-25 Teams (2010-12) Date Opponent AP-USA 11-6-2010 N.C.

Clemson Breaks Home-Winning-Streak Record Clemson set the school record for consecutive wins in Memorial Stadium with its win over Maryland on November 10. The Tigers increased it to 13 in a row with a victory over N.C. State on November 17. That set the record for most consecutive wins at home, regardless of site. South Carolina ended the streak on November 24 with a 27-17 win over the Tigers. Clemson’s Highest-Ranked Victories Clemson will face #7 Louisiana State on December 31 in the Chick-fil-A Bowl. If Clemson can gain victory, it would be the 13th triumph in school history over a team ranked in the top nine of at least one of the major polls. The last time Clemson did that was 2011, when Clemson beat #3 Virginia Tech in the ACC Championship game. That win tied for the highest-ranked team Clemson has beaten. The Tigers also beat #3 Florida State in 2003.

Clemson has five wins over top-25 teams during the last two years. Clemson’s other two top-five wins came in the 1981 season, a 13-3 victory over #4 Georgia and future Heisman Trophy winner Herschel Walker, and a 22-15 victory over #4 Nebraska and future Heisman Trophy winner Mike Rozier.

In terms of passing yards, the 3,835 for the Tigers are seventh-most, but just 165 passing yards in the Chick-fil-A Bowl will make Clemson just the fourth team in ACC history with 4,000 passing yards. Clemson’s 319.6 passing yards per game are ninth-best. ACC Bests For Points in a Season Rk School Year W-L G TD Pts/G 1. Florida State 1995 9-2 11 72 48.4 2. Florida State 2012 11-2 13 64 39.9 3.

700 Club Clemson gained 718 yards (334 rushing, 384 passing) at Duke on November 3. It was just the second time in school history Clemson totaled at least 300 rushing yards and 300 passing yards in the same game. The first instance was in a 70-14 win over Central Michigan, led by Head Coach Butch Jones, in 2007. Therefore, this was the first time Clemson accomplished the feat on the road and the first time it was accomplished in an ACC game. Then in the win over N.C. State, the Tigers did it again. Clemson had 754 yards (328 rushing, 426 passing). Overall, it was the second-highest total offense game in school history and is topped only by the 756 yards the Tigers gained in a win over Wake Forest in 1981. That day, Clemson had a school-record 536 rushing yards and 220 passing yards in the 82-24 win at Death Valley. Clemson had an incredible 487 yards on 43 plays in the first half at Duke, then had 441 yards in the first half against N.C. State. Those are the top two halves in Clemson history in terms of total offense. There have been just 13 games in ACC history in which a team has had at least 700 yards. Clemson has done it twice this year. Top Total Offense Games in ACC History Rk School Opponent Year 1. Florida State Maryland 1992 2. Maryland Virginia 1975 3. Florida State Duke 1995 4.

Winning Total Offense an Indicator Clemson has a 9-0 record in 2012 when it outgains the opposition (yards) and is 19-0 over the last two years. The 19-game winning streak dates to the 2010 Meineke Car Care Bowl, when Clemson outgained South Florida 296279, but lost the game 31-26. Overall, Clemson has a 34-2 record under Head Coach Dabo Swinney when it outgains the opposition. The only other loss also took place in 2010, when Clemson outgained Florida State 391-307 in Tallahassee, but lost 16-13.

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

Second-Quarter Scoring Machine Clemson has owned the second quarter this year. The Tigers have a scoring margin of 191-71 in the second quarter, a school mark for points scored in a quarter during a season. The previous mark was 154 points scored in the second period by the 2009 team. One of the reasons for Clemson’s success in the quarter has been the passing of Tajh Boyd. Boyd is 81-113 passing for 1,167 yards and 16 touchdowns in the second quarter in 2012. That equates to 71 percent and a pass efficiency figure of 198.0. He is second in the nation in passing touchdowns and passing efficiency in the second quarter. Clemson has averaged 15.9 points per game in the second quarter. Leading Entering Fourth Quarter One thing Clemson has done well the last two years has been holding a fourth-quarter lead. The Tigers are 17-0 the last two years when leading entering the fourth quarter (8-0 in 2011 and 9-0 in 2012). Clemson has an active streak of 18 consecutive wins when leading entering the fourth quarter. Clemson’s last loss in that situation was a 16-13 defeat at Florida State in 2010, a game Clemson led 10-6 entering the fourth quarter. Overall, Swinney is 33-3 when leading entering the fourth quarter since he became Clemson’s head coach in October of 2008. The three losses are Georgia Tech in 2008 (his first game as head coach), TCU in 2009, and Florida State in 2010. Tigers Score Every Way Possible Clemson scored every possible way in its victory over Georgia Tech on October 6 in its 47-31 victory. The Tigers scored five touchdowns, kicked three field goals, kicked five extra points, had a two-point conversion, and added a safety. It marked the first time Clemson had scored every possible way since the 2007 Virginia Tech game, a contest the Tigers lost 41-23. Clemson also scored every possible way against N.C. State in 1998 in its 46-39 defeat. Third-Down & Fourth-Down Success Clemson is one of the top schools in the nation when it comes to third-down and fourth-down conversion offense. Clemson leads the nation in fourth-down conversion percentage, converting 13-15 opportunities (86.7 percent). The Tigers’ third-down conversion rate is 51.9

They are both at record rates of conversion in school history. Clemson is solid on defense as well. Opponents are converting on third down just 34.7 percent of the time (27th-best in the nation) and 42.3 percent on fourth down (34th-best). Points Off Turnovers Clemson has a 111-41 advantage in points off turnovers in 2012, and Clemson is 8-0 when it wins that statistic. Clemson has actually won 14 consecutive games when it wins the points off turnover stat. The last loss took place at Auburn in 2010, a 27-24 overtime loss. Since Dabo Swinney became head coach in 2008, Clemson is 26-3 when it wins the points off turnovers stat and has a 24-3 record when winning the turnover margin. The Tigers are 5-1 in that area this year, with the only loss coming at #4 Florida State when Clemson won the turnover margin 2-1. Surprising Stats & Notes • Clemson has 44 three-and-outs on defense, while topranked Notre Dame has just four more (48). • Clemson’s defense has given up 24.9 points per game this year, just 0.8 more per game than Auburn yielded during its 2010 National Championship season. • Tajh Boyd has passed for 34 touchdowns in 2012, 10 more than Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel (Texas A&M) and 20 more than Heisman Trophy runner-up Collin Klein (Kansas State). Clemson Honored For Graduation Success Rate Clemson is one of 18 schools to be honored by AFCA for its graduation success rate of at least 90 percent. Each year, AFCA presents an academic achievement award to the school with the highest GSR, and also announces an honorable mention list. Northwestern and Stanford both recorded graduation success rates of 100 percent for the six-year cohort. Clemson was joined on the list of schools with at least a 90-percent GSR by Air Force, Alabama, Boston College, Duke, Mississippi, Nevada, Northern Illinois, Northwestern, Notre

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

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

BOWL NOTES

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

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

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

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

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

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

Presidential Pushups It was a big week for Clemson President Jim Barker from September 9-15. First, he was acknowledged at the league press conference as an ACC president that had much to do with Notre Dame’s move to the ACC (announced on September 12). That weekend during the third quarter of Clemson’s game against Furman, Barker put on the Tiger mascot suit and did the Tiger’s job of doing the pushups after Clemson scored to give the Tigers a 27-7 lead. Barker put the Tiger suit on at halftime and walked around anonymously on the Clemson sidelines in the third quarter. When the Tigers scored at the 12:10 mark of the third quarter, Barker did the required 27 pushups after Andre Ellington’s touchdown. At the conclusion of the exercise, he took off the mascot head, much to the delight of the crowd. Sack-Man Beasley Sophomore defensive end Vic Beasley recorded three sacks in Clemson’s win over N.C. State. The tackles resulted in 21 negative yards against Mike Glennon. He is fourth in the ACC in sacks (8). He trails only All-Americans Bjoern Werner (Florida State) and Cornelius Carradine (Florida State) along with Jeremiah Attaochu (Georgia Tech). What is amazing is that Beasley has not started a game and has played only 279 snaps. He also has 18 tackles, two pass breakups, and eight quarterback pressures. Therefore, eight of his 18 tackles are sacks. He has averaged 32 snaps a game over the last five contests and has six sacks in those games. Beasley has averaged a sack every 34.9 snaps this year. When Da’Quan Bowers led the nation in sacks in 2010, he averaged a sack every 44.1 snaps. The late Gaines Adams averaged a sack every 46 snaps in 2006 when he was named ACC Defensive Player-of-the-Year. Keith Adams averaged a sack every 54 snaps when he set the Clemson single-season record with 16 sacks in 1999. Benton Sets ACC Record Spencer Benton set an ACC record in Clemson’s win over Ball State. Benton booted a 61-yard field goal, with a few yards to spare, on the last play of the first half to establish an ACC record for longest field goal. That is 60 years of placekicks, so that is quite a record. Benton broke the record of 60 yards by Gary Cismesia (Florida State) against Florida in 2007. Benton’s field goal was four yards longer than the previous Clemson record. Obed Ariri made a 57-yarder against Wake Forest in 1977 and Chris Gardocki made a 57-yarder against Appalachian State in 1990. Each of those previous kicks were also made at Memorial Stadium. It was quite a day for long field goals, as Andrew Furney (Washington State) made a 60-yarder in the Cougars’ victory over Eastern Washington. Imagine making a 60-yarder and it was not even the longest in the nation for the day.

CLEMSON 2012 CHICK-FIL-A BOWL MEDIA GUIDE

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

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

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

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

Boyd Challenging ACC Record With four consecutive games over the 178-mark in terms of passing efficiency late in the season, Tajh Boyd has increased his passing efficiency rating to 168.5 in 2012. He is on a school record pace and is fourth in the nation. He is also fourth in ACC history from a career standpoint. His career passing efficiency (149.9) trails only Bryn Renner (North Carolina), Chris Weinke (Florida State), and EJ Manuel (Florida State). Therefore, three of the top four pass efficiency figures are held by active ACC players. ACC Career Leaders in Passing Efficiency Rk Player School Years 1. Bryn Renner North Carolina 2010-12 2.

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

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

In 2011, Boyd had 218 yards on 142 carries in 14 games and scored five touchdowns, so he has more than doubled his rushing yardage in two less games and already has four more rushing touchdowns. A look to the list below shows that Boyd is really the third-best running quarterback in school history. All five of the seasons ahead of him on the rushing charts are held by Woodrow Dantzler (3) and Steve Fuller (2). Boyd’s 492 rushing yards this year are the most since Dantzler had a school-quarterback-record 1,061 rushing yards in 2001 in only 11 games. He has picked up the pace in rushing in the second half of the year. He had 331 rushing yards in the last seven games, an average of 47.3 yards per game. He had 161 rushing yards in the first five games (32.2 yards per game). Boyd had a career-high 103 rushing yards in the win over N.C. State when he also scored three touchdowns on the ground. He became the first Clemson quarterback to score three touchdowns in a game since Dantzler in 2000 against Duke. Top Tiger Quarterback Rushing Seasons Rk Player Year TD Car 1.

Catanzaro’s Streak Fourth-Longest in ACC History Placekicker Chandler Catanzaro saw his streak of consecutive made field goals end at 20 when he just missed wide-left from 48 yards at Wake Forest on October 25. Ironically, his previous miss was also against Wake Forest at Clemson in 2011. He is still 16-17 in 2012 and has made 25 of his last 26 field-goal attempts over two years. The 20 consecutive made field goals by Catanzaro are a Clemson record. The previous mark was 14 in a row by Obed Ariri in 1980, so Catanzaro has eclipsed a 32-year record by 43 percent. Seven of his 20 consecutive made field goals were from 40+ yards, including a career-long 50-yarder at Florida State, the kick that broke Ariri’s record. He made three field goals during the streak from 30-39 yards and 10 from 18-29 yards. Catanzaro is the most accurate placekicker in Clemson history from 40+ yards. For his career, he has made 2027 field goals from 40+ yards (74 percent). His 20 made field goals of 40+ yards are second-most in school history, only behind Chris Gardocki, who made 23-39 field-goal attempts from that distance between 1988-90. Catanzaro was named one of 20 semifinalists for the Lou Groza Award. It is the second consecutive year he was named a semifinalist.

This is the 16th 1,000yard rushing season in Clemson history. Ellington joins Raymond Priester, Woodrow Dantzler, and James Davis as Tiger with two 1,000-yard rushing seasons. The school record is 1,345 rushing yards by Priester in 1996. Priester also had the second-most in a season with 1,322 rushing yards in 1995. When Ellington reached 1,000 rushing yards in the South Carolina game, it made this 2012 team the fourth in school history with a 1,000-yard rusher and a 1,000-yard receiver. DeAndre Hopkins has 1,214 receiving yards. The only other Clemson teams to do it are the 2000, 2007, and 2011 squads.

Freeman a Finalist For Rimington Trophy Center Dalton Freeman was named one of six finalists for the 2012 Rimington Trophy. The honor is presented each year to the top center in the nation. It is the second consecutive year that Freeman was named a finalist, and he is the only current center in the nation who can make that claim. Freeman is the second two-time Rimington Trophy finalist in Clemson history. The other was Kyle Young, a finalist in 2000 and 2001. Freeman has been a common denominator in the starting lineup at center for those four years, one of just two seniors who can make that claim. The native of Pelion, SC has started 48 consecutive games entering the Chick-fil-A Bowl. He will tie the school record for career starts if he starts that game. Freeman Has Made 48 Consecutive Starts Dalton Freeman has started 48 games in his career, all in a row heading into the Chick-fil-A Bowl. When he starts that game, he will tie former teammate Landon Walker for the career record for starts by a Tiger, regardless of position. Walker started 49 games at offensive tackle between 2008-11. Freeman has played 856 snaps this year and has played 3,258 career snaps. He became Clemson’s career leader in snaps in the win over N.C. State.

Freeman Named Second-Team Academic All-American Center Dalton Freeman was named a Capital One Second-Team Academic All-American, selected by CoSIDA. He is the first Tiger to make one of the two academic All-

America teams since 2001, when Chad Carson and Kyle Young were both first-team selections. Combined with his selection to the AFCA All-America team, Freeman is the fourth Tiger in history to be named an All-American on the field and in the classroom in the same season. The other Tigers who have done the All-America double are Lou Cordileone (1959), Steve Fuller (1978), and Kyle Young (2000,01). Freeman already has one undergraduate degree from Clemson, and he received a second earlier this month. He has a 3.52 career GPA. Freeman joined Dustin Hopkins (Florida State), who was a first-team selection, and Perry Simmons (Duke), who was a second-team choice.

Goodman Causing Fumbles Senior defensive end Malliciah Goodman may have the biggest and strongest hands in the nation. He wears a size 4X glove for his hands that are 11.5” wide. Those hands have had a big impact on his ability to jar the ball loose from the opposition. Goodman has a team-high four caused fumbles this year and eight in his career. He is seventh in the nation in caused fumbles and his eight total for his career are tied for third-most in Clemson history. The record is held by linebackers Jeff Davis (1978-81) and Ed McDaniel (198891), who had 10 apiece. Hall Third in School History in Career Takeaways Senior safety Rashard Hall had his fourth interception of the year against N.C. State and has 14 for his career. He is in a tie for fourth in school history in interceptions and fourth among active FBS players. David Amerson (N.C. State) has the most interceptions (17) among active players. Hall is three interceptions away from the Clemson record of 17, held by College Football Hall of Famer Terry Kinard, who had 17 interceptions between 1978-82. Hall’s 186 interception return yards are sixth-most in Clemson history as well.

Hopkins a Biletnikoff Award Semifinalist Wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins was named one of 10 semifinalists for the Fred Biletnikoff Award this year. The honor is presented each year to the top wide receiver in the nation. This was the second consecutive year a Tiger made the final 10 for the award. In 2011, Sammy Watkins was a semifinalist. Hopkins was the only ACC player on the list. He is second in the nation in receiving touchdowns (16), already a Clemson single-season mark. He is also Clemson’s career leader (25). Hopkins has 69 receptions for 1,214 yards this season, an average of 17.6 yards per catch. He has at least one receiving touchdown in nine consecutive games, a Clemson record and tied for the ACC standard, and 11 of the 12 contests this season. He set a record for number of games with a receiving touchdown by an ACC player in one season. He is second in school history in career receptions (193) and first in receiving yards (2,829).

ceiving games with that performance, breaking the record of nine held by Rod Gardner, who played for the Tigers from 1997-00 before going on to the NFL as a first-round draft pick. Hopkins now has five 100-yard receiving games this year and 11 for his career after totaling 128 receiving yards at Duke. Hopkins has jumped from 13th to second in Clemson history in career receptions (193) this season.

An Average Game For Morris’ Offense Clemson has had a very productive offense over the last two years under Offensive Coordinator Chad Morris. The chart below shows that for his 26-game tenure, Clemson has averaged 37.6 points, 476.6 yards, and 299.5 passing yards per game along with 6.14 yards per play. The Tigers are 20-6 during this time and have had back-to-back 10-win seasons for the first time since the 1987-90 era.

Reader’s Rigorous Schedule Clemson has a lot of freshmen on its roster, but the player with the busiest schedule is defensive tackle D.J. Reader. At 6’3” and 335 pounds, he is the consummate run-stopper, and he has done that all year. In 12 games, he has 37 tackles in just 229 snaps, a tackle every 6.2 snaps. That is the best among Tiger defensive linemen.

Reader is also a baseball player and hopes to join the Clemson roster in the spring. He is a righthanded pitcher and infielder who has been clocked with a fastball in the 90s. He also batted over .500 each of his last two years at Grimsley High School in Greensboro, NC. Reader worked out Mondays and Wednesdays on the mound in the fall on his own for 45 minutes just before football practice. He also did some hitting on his own on Sundays. Rodriguez Joins Roster Daniel Rodriguez, a 24-year-old United States Army veteran, joined the football team this year. The 5’8” wide receiver began practice with the Tigers on August 3. Rodriguez served for one-and-a-half years in Iraq and one year in Afghanistan. During his military career (200610), he earned a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star Medal with Valor. Rodriguez had not played football since he was at Brooke Point High School in Stafford, VA. He lettered three years (2003-05) as a slot receiver, running back, cornerback, holder, quarterback, and kick returner. It has been Rodriguez’s dream to return to the gridiron at the college level. Head Coach Dabo Swinney offered him a spot on the team as a walk-on after seeing a video about Rodriguez on the internet. Rodriguez, who attends Clemson on the G.I. Bill, was featured on the front page of USA Today, Washington Post, CBS Evening News, ESPN College Gameday, CBS College Sports, and has been profiled on CNN and Dan Rather Reports. Rodriguez realized the dream in the season-opener against Auburn when he played on the kickoff-coverage unit, his first college action and his first football game since 2005. He has three receptions for 10 yards and has made four tackles on kickoff coverage. There is one other active FBS player with a Purple Heart. That player is Corey Sandberg (Idaho). Shuey Top Tackler in Second Half of Season Clemson has made an improvement in terms of defense over the last six games, and it appears the improvement coincides with increased playing time for linebacker Spencer Shuey. Shuey has started each of the last six games, the first six starts of his career, and has 64 tackles in those six games. Shuey had 15 tackles in his first start against Virginia Tech, then had 10 tackles in the win at Wake Forest and 12 tackles in the win at Duke. His 37 tackles over three games were the most by a Tiger over a three-game span since 2006, when Chris Clemons and Nick Watkins both did it over the three-game span when Clemson finished the regular season with home games against Maryland, N.C. State, and South Carolina. For the season, Shuey is tied for the team lead in tackles (88).

conference games. In fact, Swinney has a better record in league games than he does outside the conference. Swinney has a 39-21 overall record (.650), which is ninth-best. In league play, he is 27-12 (including ACC Championship games), as the 69.2 winning percentage in league play is seventh-best, just ahead of Jim Tatum and Frank Howard, two legendary coaches of the 1950s and 1960s.

Venables Leading the Defense Clemson has had just one new coach on its full-time staff this year. That new member is Brent Venables, Clemson’s defensive coordinator and linebackers coach. Ven-

ables came to Clemson from Oklahoma, where he spent the last 13 seasons. Oklahoma went to a bowl game all 13 years Venables was at Oklahoma, including the BCS Championship game in 2008. He was on the Oklahoma National Championship staff in 2000, a team that finished 13-0 with a 13-2 victory over Florida State in the title game. Overall, Venables has been a college coach for 17 years, and all 17 teams have played in a bowl game. They have a collective record of 180-42 (.811). He has coached in nine bowl games that are now considered BCS-level bowls. At Oklahoma, he coached five Big 12 Defensive Playersof-the-Year and two Butkus Award winners. Watkins Accounts For Touchdown Three Ways Sammy Watkins has played just nine games this season, but he has accounted for a touchdown three different ways (pass, rush, reception). First, he scored on a 58-yard run against Furman on September 15. He then threw a 52-yard touchdown pass to Andre Ellington at #4 Florida State on September 22. At Wake Forest on October 25, he had a 61-yard receiving touchdown. He has scored four touchdowns overall. For the year, he is averaging 119.6 all-purpose yards per game, first on the team and fifth in the ACC. Willard the Most Consistent Defender Senior linebacker Jonathan Willard has been one of Clemson’s most consistent players on either side of the ball. He has 88 tackles to tie Spencer Shuey for the team lead and leads the team in tackles for loss (9.5). He also has six pass breakups to tie for the team lead as well, an example of his ability to roam the field. Willard has four double-figure tackle games this year, including 13 stops at #4 Florida State. He had 11 tackles in the win over Virginia Tech and 10 tackles apiece in victories over Wake Forest and N.C. State. Willard has had at least eight tackles in seven of the last nine contests as well.

LINEBACKER SPENCER SHUEY MOVED INTO THE STARTING LINEUP AT MIDSEASON. IN HIS SIX GAMES AS A STARTER, HE HAS RECORDED 64 TACKLES AND FIVE TACKLES FOR LOSS.

t 43, Dabo Swinney is one of the youngest head coaches in the ACC and 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 was Clemson’s head coach since 1999. He led the Tigers to a 4-2 record over the remainder of the 2008 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 five years (four full seasons) as the Tigers’ head coach, Swinney has directed Clemson to a 39-21 overall record (.650) and a 26-11 record (.703) in ACC regular-season games. He has also led the Tigers to the ACC Championship game twice, won one ACC Championship, won or shared three ACC Atlantic Division titles, and has been named national coach-of-theyear. In addition to leading the Clemson program to five bowl games on the field in his young career, his players have also excelled in the classroom. In his career as a head coach, his play-

ers have an APR score of 991, fifth-highest among active FBS coaches. The 2012 season has been a groundbreaking year for Swinney’s Tigers when you look at the overall consistency of the program. With a 10-2 overall record, including a 7-1 mark in the ACC, Clemson has put back-to-back 10-win seasons together for the first time since a four-year streak from 1987-90. The seven conference wins in the regular season set a school record. Clemson was co-champion of the ACC Atlantic Division and has won or shared the division crown three of the last four years. The school record for consecutive home wins (13) was also established, as was the record for consecutive wins by at least two touchdowns (7). The 2012 campaign has featured a record-setting offense. Clemson had six of the 11 offensive players on the All-ACC first team chosen by media and has set 85 overall records (33 team, 52 individual). Leading the way is ACC Player of the Year Tajh Boyd, who has been the starting quarterback in all 20 Clemson wins over the last two years. He joined starting center

Dalton Freeman as first-team All-Americans according to AFCA, just the third time since 1945 that the AFCA firstteam All-America quarterback and center were from the same school. Boyd’s favorite wide receiver, DeAndre Hopkins, has 16 receiving touchdowns, second-most in the nation, and is as a second-team All-American. He is a big reason Clemson has scored a school-record 508 points. Clemson enters the Chick-fil-A Bowl ranked in the top 15 in all polls, including #14 in the BCS standings. It was the second straight year Clemson finished in the top 15 of the BCS standings, one of only eight schools who can make that claim each of the last two years. For the third time in his first four full seasons as head coach at Clemson, Swinney was a finalist for the 2012 Liberty Mutual National Coach-of-the-Year. He was also one of 16 semifinalists for the 2012 national coach-of-the-year by the Maxwell Football Club of Pennsylvania and was the only ACC coach on the list. Swinney’s 2011 squad, which ended the season ranked #22 in the nation, captured Clemson’s first ACC title since 1991 when it defeated #3 Virginia Tech 38-10 in the ACC Championship game in Charlotte, NC. It tied for the highest-ranked team the Tigers have defeated in history and was the most points scored by an ACC team against Virginia Tech since it joined the league in 2004. The victory, the Tigers’ second over the Hokies in 2011, gave Clemson its first 10-win season since 1990. The Tigers’ four wins over top-25 ranked teams established a school record as well. The Tigers jumped out to an 8-0 record and a #6 national ranking after being unranked in the preseason. Games 3-5 marked a tough stretch, as Clemson hosted #19 Auburn, who entered with a national-best 17-game winning streak, and #11 Florida State along with a road game at #10 Virginia Tech. The Tigers were victorious in all three contests by scores of 38-24, 35-30, and 23-3, respectively, marking the first time in history that an ACC team won three consecutive games over top-25 ranked (AP) teams. Clemson also held Virginia Tech without a touchdown for the first time in a game at Blacksburg since 1995. For his efforts, he was named Bobby Dodd National Coach-of-the-Year in 2011 to become the first Tiger head coach to win a national coach-of-the-year award since 1981, when Danny Ford directed Clemson to the national title. Swinney, who was also one of five finalists for the Eddie Robinson National Coach-of-the-Year award, one of 10 finalists for the Bear Bryant National Coach-of-the-Year award, one of 10 finalists for the Liberty Mutual Coach-of-

the-Year award, and received the Regional AFCA Coach-ofthe-Year award in 2011, led the Tigers to their first Orange Bowl berth since 1981 with the help of five First-Team AllACC players. Dwayne Allen (TE), Boyd (QB), Andre Branch (DE), Freeman (C), and Sammy Watkins (WR) all earned first-team honors, while Andre Ellington (RB), Chandler Catanzaro (PK), and Brandon Thompson (DT) earned second-team honors. Watkins was also Second-Team All-ACC as a specialist. Allen received the John Mackey Award as the nation’s top tight end and totaled 50 receptions for 598 yards and eight touchdowns. Boyd set the school record for total yards (4,046), passing yards (3,828), and passing touchdowns (33). Branch, a finalist for the Ted Hendricks Award, had an ACC-best 17 tackles for loss and an ACC-high 10.5 sacks, including tying school-records for tackles for loss (6) and sacks (4) in Clemson’s win at #10 Virginia Tech. Freeman was a finalist for the Rimington Trophy as well. Watkins was one of the most dynamic freshmen in the nation. The ACC Rookie-of-the-Year totaled 82 receptions for 1,219 yards and 12 touchdowns along with a 25.0-yard average and one touchdown on kickoff returns despite missing one game due to injury. Watkins teamed up with Andre Ellington to give Clemson a 1,000-yard receiver and 1,000-yard rusher, as Ellington had 1,178 rushing yards and 11 rushing touchdowns. Watkins was also an AP FirstTeam All-American, just the fourth in college football history as a first-year freshman. Swinney became 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, 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 victories 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 passing defense. C.J. Spiller was a unanimous first-team All-American in Swinney’s first year, and defensive end Da’Quan Bowers duplicated the feat on the defensive side of the ball. Bow-

ers won the 2010 Bronko Nagurski Award as the nation’s top defensive player, and he received the Ted Hendricks Award as the country’s top defensive end. He was also a finalist for the Bednarik Award and Lombardi Award. He led the nation in sacks (15.5) and 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 Jarvis Jenkins (DT) and DeAndre McDaniel (S) 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 nonconference opponents had a combined record of 29-10 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 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

tice, 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 former 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, and again in both 2011 and 2012. The 1993 Alabama graduate joined the Clemson staff prior to the 2003 season. In his first nine years as an assistant or head coach, the Tigers have finished in the top 25 of the polls five times and totaled 16 wins over top-25 teams, including victories over Florida State (5), Auburn (2), Miami (FL) (2), Virginia Tech (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 in five of his six years as an assistant coach. 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 SecondTeam All-ACC wideout (Derrick Hamilton, Airese Currie, Chansi Stuckey, Aaron Kelly, Jacoby Ford, Watkins, Hopkins) in nine of his 10 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 set a Tiger record as well. Kelly is Clemson’s career reception leader with 232 catches and is second in ACC history. He also has one of the highest totals in Tiger history in career touchdown receptions with 20. 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 Championship game. After his playing career, Swinney served as a graduate assistant from 1993-95 at Alabama, where he coached in the 1994 Gator Bowl and 1995 Citrus Bowl. In December of 1995, he received a master’s degree in business administration from Alabama. He became a full-time assistant coach at Alabama in February of 1996 under Head Coach Gene Stallings (now in the Hall of Fame) and coached a total of five seasons there on a full-time basis. He was assigned to coach the Crimson Tide’s wide receivers and tight ends in 1996, a season that saw Alabama win the SEC Western Division title and make an Outback Bowl appearance. The following year, he solely coached the tight ends under Head Coach Mike DuBose. In 1998, he coached Alabama’s wide receivers, a position he held for three seasons. At the end of the 1999 campaign, Swinney coached the Crimson Tide in the 2000 Orange Bowl after winning the SEC Championship game. Wide receiver Freddie Milons was the game MVP. During his time at Alabama, Swinney was a part of six teams with at least 10 wins, five top-10 finishes, one national title (1992), three SEC Championships (1989,92,99), and five SEC Western Division titles (1992,93,94,96,99) as a player and coach. He has coached the #2 receiver at Alabama (Milons) along with the #1 (Kelly), #2 (Hopkins), and #3 (Hamilton) receivers in Tiger history. As an assistant coach, he had 20 former players either drafted or sign free-agent contracts with NFL teams. The list includes Hamilton, Currie, Kevin Youngblood, Stuckey, and Milons, an All-American at Alabama. From April of 2001 through February of 2003, Swinney was in private business in Alabama. He married the former Kathleen Bassett in 1994. They have three sons, Will (14), Drew (12), and Clay (9).

Ninety-two percent of seniors would choose Clemson again according to the National Survey of Student Engagement. Clemson also ranks among the top public universities in the percentage of alumni who make gifts to their school, another indication of quality and alumni satisfaction. Clemson continues to attract top students and faculty. It is the top choice of Palmetto Fellows, the state’s best students. A record-setting 18,502 undergraduate applications were received for the 2012 fall semester, and freshman enrollment in the Calhoun Honors College is up 16 percent. The university provides an unmatched educational experience - intellectual development - for students and research-driven economic development for the state of South Carolina. Last year’s news highlights also include the following: • Dedication ceremonies were held for the Larry Penley Golf Clubhouse, the Class of 1956 Academic Success Center, and the Lee Hall expansion and renovation. Work will be completed this year on a new Life Sciences building. • The Will to Lead capital campaign, which raised $608 million by the original completion date of June 30, 2012,

im Barker has worn a lot of hats 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.” 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 2012 U.S. News & World Report guide to colleges, and has been recognized for value, affordability, and return on investment by Kiplinger’s and Bloomberg/BusinessWeek magazines.

has been extended, with a new goal of $1 billion. Three families made gifts of at least $5 million each to name the Glenn Department of Civil Engineering, and to build the Watt Family Innovation Center on campus and the Zucker Family Graduate Education Center near the wind turbine drivetrain test facility currently under construction in North Charleston, SC. These gifts support students, faculty, and facilities, including new athletic facilities. 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, including three as chairman, and chairs the Working Group, rewriting the rulebook for NCAA athletics. He also delivered keynote addresses at the national Campus Development Summit and the South Carolina AIA conference in April of 2012. 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. A native of Kingsport, TN, Barker received his bachelor of arts degree from Clemson in 1970 and his master of architecture & urban design degree in 1973 from Washington University (Saint Louis, MO), which also recognized him with its Distinguished Alumnus Award. He is a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects and the Institute for Urban Design. As Clemson’s President, Barker remains committed to the classroom. Each spring, he is part of a team that teaches an undergraduate course exploring “a sense of place” in architecture, literature, and history. In his spare time, what there is of it, he maintains the daily fitness regimen of a life-long athlete and enjoys playing with his grandchildren. He is widely acclaimed for his pen-and-ink drawings of campus buildings and his watercolor paintings. Barker and his wife, Marcia, have two sons, Britt and Jacob, a daughter-in-law, Rita Bolt Barker, and two granddaughters, Madeline and Eliza.

On an individual basis, the program had 51 first-team All-Americans in 10 different sports, 30 academic AllAmericans, two national coach-of-the-year selections, and two national player-of-the-year selections. The program had 13 ACC Coach-of-the-Year and 13 ACC Player-of-theYear choices as well. “I am truly honored to join the Clemson family, and I wish to express my appreciation to President Barker and the Board of Trustees for this incredible opportunity,” said Radakovich. “Clemson is synonymous with success on and off the fields of competition, and I look forward to continuing the tradition of excellence.” The construction of new facilities or upgrades to existing ones was a focus of Radakovich’s tenure. The John & Mary Brock Football Practice Facility, which opened in 2011, and McCamish Pavilion, which opened in 2012, are two of the top facilities of their kind in college athletics. Radakovich also saw the completion of Shirley Clements Mewborn Field, home for Georgia Tech’s softball program, which was unveiled prior to the start of the 2009 season.

an Radakovich became Clemson’s 13th director of athletics on December 1, 2012. He came to Clemson with a wealth of experience after serving in significant athletic administrative roles at Miami (FL), Long Beach State, South Carolina, and Louisiana State in addition to athletic directorships at American University and Georgia Tech. His athletic administrative career spans nearly 30 years. Radakovich came to Clemson from nearby Georgia Tech, where he served with distinction for six years (200612). Just Clemson’s fifth athletic director since 1940, he replaced Terry Don Phillips, who retired after over 10 years directing the Tiger program. “Dan Radakovich understands the academic, business, and competitive aspects of college athletics,” said Clemson President Jim Barker in making the announcement of his appointment on October 29, 2012. “He knows what it takes to win championships, he has a proven track record in fundraising and revenue growth, and he is committed to compliance and student-athlete welfare. He has been successful in the ACC and SEC, and he is known and respected among coaches and athletic directors nationwide.” The Georgia Tech program had 51 teams advance to either NCAA team tournament play or bowl games in his six years. That includes five sports (football, women’s basketball, softball, women’s tennis, men’s golf ) that made the postseason every year that he was in Atlanta. The baseball program missed just once. Eleven different sports programs finished in the top 25 of at least one major poll 27 times. That includes a National Championship women’s tennis program in 2007, just the second NCAA team title in school history. There were 14 ACC titles celebrated in addition to nine regular-season conference or division titles. The football program played in a bowl game each year he was at Georgia Tech, including the 2010 Orange Bowl, the program’s first BCS-level bowl appearance since the 1967 Orange Bowl.

Tech basketball, was in place prior to the start of the 200910 season. Other facility upgrades under Radakovich include the transformation of Georgia Tech’s former football locker room on the ground floor of the Edge Athletic Center into a new Technology Center, which benefits academic support services for all student-athletes, and cosmetic and functional improvements to Bobby Dodd Stadium. Radakovich also initiated the Athletic Director’s Initiative Fund, started in 2006, which raised cash and pledges of more than $12 million. Radakovich has also played an integral role in fundraising initiatives for facility projects, including McCamish Pavilion, John & Mary Brock Football Practice Facility, and Byers Tennis Complex. The native of Alliquipa, PA was first made aware of Clemson athletics through the basketball exploits of Butch Zatezalo, who was also from the same town. Zatezalo was a three-time All-ACC player whose legendary 25-point scoring nights received a lot of attention in Pennsylvania in the 1960s when Radakovich was a youth. Prior to his tenure at Georgia Tech, Radakovich worked as a senior associate athletic director at Louisiana State from 2001-06. He had many responsibilities that dealt with the football program and worked closely with then Head Coach Nick Saban, including the year the Tigers won the National Championship (2003). Radakovich became an athletic director for the first time at American University in Washington, D.C. in 2000. Between 1994-00, Radakovich served as chief financial officer at South Carolina. During that time, he worked with current Clemson football administrators Brad Scott and Woody McCorvey. Radakovich gained experience on the West Coast from 1989-94, when he was a senior associate athletic director at Long Beach State. He got his start in administration at Miami (FL) in 1983 as the athletic business manager. His resumé includes experience in private business in the early 1980s, working in the Miami area for Ernst & Whinney CPA firm, The Travelers Insurance Company, and Margaretten & Company, a mortgage banker. Radakovich is a 1980 graduate of Indiana (PA), where he earned a bachelor of science degree in finance. He was also a football letterman and student coach with the Crimson Hawk program. He was enshrined into the Beaver County Sports Hall of Fame in 2008 and was recognized as a distinguished alumni from Indiana in 2009. He earned his master’s degree in business administration from Miami (FL) in 1982. Radakovich, born on June 9, 1958, and his wife, Marcie, have two children, Christian and Grant.

GAME 1

Auburn

26 19

September 1, 2012 • Georgia Dome • Atlanta, GA DeAndre Hopkins picked quite a time to match Clemson’s single-game record for receptions. Even as Auburn cornerback Chris Davis was being flagged for pass interference, Hopkins hauled in a Tajh Boyd pass on a fade route in the back of the endzone for his 12th catch of the game to put #14 Clemson ahead for good in its 26-19 win over #25 Auburn in the Georgia Dome. The victory snapped Clemson’s six-game losing streak in the city of Atlanta. “Any time the ball is in the air, I feel like it’s mine,” said Hopkins of his four-yard touchdown catch. “No matter if there are five defenders, 10 defenders, or one, I feel like it’s my ball. “It was man-on-man. Tajh trusted me and I trusted him to put the ball on the money...and he did.” Hopkins nabbed his 13th catch of the night later in the fourth quarter to break the school record for receptions in a game, which was previously held by Airese Currie, and finished with 119 yards. Matching Hopkins’ great effort was Andre Ellington, who rushed for 228 yards on 25 carries, as the ACC Tigers beat the SEC Tigers in the rubber match of the three-game series. “Auburn has a great football team,” stated Head Coach Dabo Swinney. “I was impressed with their running game. It’s been a tough series the last three years.” Hopkins’ grab put Clemson ahead 23-19, and Chandler Catanzaro’s fourth field goal of the night from 18 yards out with 1:24 left in the game provided the final margin. Clemson’s 79-yard drive that set up Catanzaro’s kick was highlighted by a 45-yard jaunt by Ellington that put him over the 200-yard mark and helped ice the victory. Ellington’s 228 rushing yards were the most by a Tiger since C.J. Spiller had 233 yards on the ground in the 2009 ACC Championship game against Georgia Tech. Ellington earned ACC Offensive Back-of-the-Week honors for his efforts. Center Dalton Freeman was also named ACC Offensive Lineman-of-the-Week. “There’s no doubt in my mind who the best player underneath this roof was tonight...without a doubt, it was Andre Ellington,” said Clemson Offensive Coordinator Chad Morris. “He was on a mission. He was relentless.” Catanzaro opened the scoring with a 24-yard field goal in the first quarter. Hopkins had four catches for 60 yards

on that drive, including a 25-yard connection from Boyd on third-and-10 that jumpstarted the march. Auburn responded quickly, however, as Kiehl Frazier found Emory Blake all alone beyond the Clemson secondary for a 54-yard scoring strike on the ensuing possession. Jonathan Willard’s recovered fumble at the Clemson 46 helped set up another Catanzaro field goal, this time from 40 yards, which narrowed Auburn’s lead to 7-6 early in the second quarter. Clemson regained the advantage at 13-7, as Roderick McDowell scored Clemson’s first touchdown of the season on a seven-yard burst. McDowell’s run was set up by Ellington’s 68-yard scamper on the previous play. After Rashard Hall’s leaping interception gave Clemson the ball at its 15, Ellington burst free outside, but appeared corralled after picking up a first down. Instead, Ellington kept his balance, cut completely across the field, and followed his blocking deep into Auburn territory. Cody Parkey trimmed Clemson’s lead to 13-10 on the ensuing possession with a 37-yard field goal to cap a 12play, 55-yard drive and provide the halftime score. Another Parkey field goal opened the second-half scoring to tie the score, but Catanzaro put Clemson back on top on its ensuing possession, capping off a 13-play, 66yard drive with a 37-yard field goal. Boyd spun out of a potential sack on a third-and-10 play at the Auburn 30 that helped keep the drive alive and keep Clemson in field-goal range. “That’s where Tajh Boyd changed the game,” explained Auburn Head Coach Gene Chizik. “We had him in our grasp several times, but he made fantastic plays to get those first downs and keep the chains moving.” Parkey again tied the score 16-16 with a 27-yard field goal to cap a 10-play, 65-yard drive for Auburn with 0:55 remaining in the third quarter. After a turnover set up Auburn at the Clemson 35, Parkey gave Auburn its first lead since midway through the second quarter with a 36-yarder with 12:50 left in the game. On the ensuing drive, after six straight running plays set Clemson up with first-and-goal at the four, Boyd found Hopkins in the corner of the endzone for what proved to be the game-winning score. Catanzaro provided the final margin with an 18-yard field goal. The junior was 4-4 on field goals on the night.

CLEMSON 2012 CHICK-FIL-A BOWL MEDIA GUIDE

Clemson finished off the win by stopping Auburn on downs, with Vic Beasley, son of former Auburn player Victor Beasley, notching a sack of Frazier on third down to key the stop. Frazier’s final pass on fourth down fell harmlessly incomplete as time expired. “We have to give Clemson a lot of credit,” added Chizik. “They played a good football game tonight, hard fought on both sides. They are an extremely talented team, and they did a great job coaching.” Even without wideout Sammy Watkins, Clemson had 528 yards of total offense on 87 plays. Boyd was 24-34 passing for 208 yards and also rushed for 58 yards.

GAME 2

Clemson

September 8, 2012 • Memorial Stadium • Clemson, SC Dabo Swinney’s mantra for his team ahead of its game against Ball State was, “set the tone.” The #12 Tigers obviously heard Swinney’s message loud and clear, as they scored on five of their first six possessions and cruised to a 52-27 win over the Cardinals at Memorial Stadium. “I thought that was the best part of the game,” said Swinney. “We were coming off an emotional win and a lot of people were saying, ‘They’re going to have a letdown,’ and you’re playing a team that’s obviously excited to come here and play. And our guys came to play.” The Tigers found the endzone on their first drive, as Andre Ellington scored on a four-yard run to cap a 12-play, 72-yard drive. After forcing a three-and-out, Clemson struck quickly again, with Ellington once again finding the endzone on a two-yard plunge to put the Tigers up 13-0 with 6:36 left in the first quarter. “The opening two drives were outstanding in every regard,” stated Swinney. After two three-and-outs to open the game, Ball State finally got its offense going, as Horactio Banks broke free and outran the Tiger secondary for a 54-yard touchdown. The Cardinals needed four plays and 1:22 to go 92 yards and cut Clemson’s lead to 13-7. The Tigers stretched their lead back out on the ensuing drive, as DeAndre Hopkins made a leaping grab at the goal line for a 13-yard touchdown catch from Tajh Boyd. “We ran a slant and go down there at the endzone and ‘Nuk’ posted up like he was a center in basketball,” said Boyd. “I threw the ball up and he made a great play.” Hopkins’ catch capped an eight-play, 68-yard drive that was highlighted by a 33-yard burst by D.J. Howard on a screen pass. After a personal-foul penalty against Ball State on the extra-point try, the Tigers opted to go for two points and Ellington plunged in to put his team up 21-7. Ball State trimmed the deficit to 21-10 with a field goal and tried to catch the Tigers napping with an onside kick. But Lateek Townsend pounced on the loose ball, and 44 seconds later, Hopkins snagged a crossing route and raced 33 yards for a touchdown to put Clemson ahead 28-10.

After linebacker Stephone Anthony took the ball back for the Tigers with an interception, Boyd and Hopkins hooked up again, this time on a crossing route from 15 yards out to put Clemson up 35-10. The Tigers again took the ball back on an interception on the next possession, this time by Darius Robinson. Four plays later, Roderick McDowell ran through the right side, put a move on a pair of defenders at the linebacker level, and raced 27 yards for a touchdown and a 42-10 lead. Spencer Benton punctuated the Tigers’ dominating performance in the first half by drilling a 61-yard field goal as time expired, breaking the school record for the longest field goal by four yards over the mark previously shared by Obed Ariri and Chris Gardocki. He also set an ACC record and was named ACC Specialist-of-the-Week. The 45 first-half points were the most by the Tigers since they scored 49 against Wake Forest in 1981. “Last week, we had an opportunity against Auburn, 55 or 56 yards, and I went out and hooked it left,” recalled Benton. “I was thinking, ‘If I could just have another go at it, I could make it.’ Everything clicked, and it was awesome.” Ball State chipped away at the Tigers’ lead early in the second half, as Banks scored on a 21-yard run. Steven Schott’s 33-yard field goal on its following possession made the score 45-20. But after not scoring in the third quarter, Clemson recorded its only second-half tally early in the fourth quarter, as Cole Stoudt engineered an 11-play, 81-yard drive that culminated in a 22-yard touchdown pass from Stoudt to Martavis Bryant. Highlighting the remaining action, U.S. Army war hero and wide receiver Daniel Rodriguez made his first career catch for the Tigers, a four-yard gain, midway through the fourth quarter. “I can’t be any happier being at Clemson and being a Tiger,” said Rodriguez. “Just being able to wear orange and come out here every day and practice is a great feeling.” Ball State capped the scoring on a two-yard run by Toney Williams late in the fourth quarter. Boyd finished 19-23 passing for 229 yards and three touchdowns, all to Hopkins. The junior wideout finished

with six catches for 105 yards along with his three receiving touchdowns, which tied the school record. McDowell led the Tigers in rushing with eight carries for 59 yards. Clemson finished with 526 yards of total offense, giving it back-to-back games of at least 500 yards of offense to open a season for the first time in school history. “Coach (Swinney) challenged us throughout the week about how we would respond after a win like Auburn, and I think we responded as well as we could,” added Boyd. “We scored touchdowns on five out of the first six drives, and from an offensive standpoint, I can’t ask from anything more.”

September 15, 2012 • Memorial Stadium • Clemson, SC Tajh Boyd passed for 310 yards and two touchdowns in leading #11 Clemson to its 30th straight win in the series against Furman with a 41-7 victory at Memorial Stadium. The Tigers took a 20-7 lead into halftime and held the Paladins scoreless in the second half to roll to the 34-point victory. “One of the things I was disappointed in last week (against Ball State) was that we lost the second half,” said Clemson Head Coach Dabo Swinney. “The challenge this week was to win all four quarters, and our guys responded and did that.” The Paladins marched 63 yards in 13 plays to open the game, but the Clemson defense stood tall and held Furman to an apparent field-goal attempt inside its own five. Instead, the Paladins shifted into a spread formation and threw a pass into the endzone, but the pass was intercepted by Rashard Hall and Furman’s drive went for naught. It was the Paladins’ only red-zone possession on the afternoon. Andre Ellington opened the scoring with a 10-yard burst off right tackle to put the Tigers up 7-0 in the first quarter. The run capped a seven-play, 80-yard drive that featured two first-down catches apiece by Sammy Watkins and DeAndre Hopkins, who led all receivers with seven catches for 95 yards. Watkins increased the Tigers’ edge to 14-0 on 58-yard run out of the backfield just after the second quarter began. The sophomore took a handoff from Boyd and exploded down the sideline to paydirt. The run was both the longest of Watkins’ career and his first career rushing touchdown.

“That was a great play,” stated Watkins. “My teammates had some great blocks downfield. I was patient on the run, it opened up, and it was great timing.” Chandler Catanzaro made the score 17-0 with 9:34 left in the second quarter on a 46-yard field goal. Hall came up with another big play to keep the Paladins off the scoreboard on their ensuing possession, as a botched field-goal snap turned into a tackle for loss by the senior safety when he blew up both the holder and kicker for a nine-yard loss on fourth down. Furman finally broke through on its next possession, as Reese Hannon found Jordan Snellings wide open down the sideline for a 37-yard score to cap a three-play, 84-yard drive that cut the Tiger lead to 17-7. “I thought the whole game, particularly in the first half, we were into the game, but we got bogged down there at the end,” said Furman Head Coach Bruce Fowler. “We played a very good football team.” Catanzaro stretched Clemson’s advantage to 20-7 with a 22-yard field goal that matched Obed Ariri’s school record of 14 consecutive made field goals. “I take it one kick at a time,” said Catanzaro of matching the record. “You can’t really think about those things. You do the little things right and all the big things come together later. I’ve taken it one kick at a time, and my confidence is sky-high right now.” Quandon Christian made the first big play after halftime, picking off a Hannon pass across the middle and returning it to the Furman 14. “It was a game-changer,” said Christian of the turnover. “I ran and shuffled, and the guy stepped into my zone on a

Ellington’s four carries accounted for all 14 yards on the five-play drive. Clemson upped its lead to 34-7 when Brandon Ford ran free on a “wheel” route and hauled in a Boyd pass with an acrobatic, off-balance catch for a 30-yard touchdown to cap a five-play, 69-yard drive. Boyd hooked up with Martavis Bryant on a 39-yard touchdown into tight coverage to stretch the Tigers’ lead to the final margin of 41-7. Clemson totaled 498 yards of offense, while the Paladins rolled up 349 yards and held the ball for 38:19.

September 22, 2012 • Doak S. Campbell Stadium • Tallahassee, FL Ahead by two touchdowns at #4 Florida State early in the second half, #9 Clemson looked like the class of the ACC. The rest of the Tigers’ night, however, was significantly more humbling. The Seminoles outscored the defending league champions 35-9 after the 11:48 mark of the third quarter and defeated the Tigers 49-37 in the ACC’s first matchup of top-10 teams in five seasons. “Obviously, we took a little bit of a step back tonight and we didn’t play four quarters,” said Clemson Head Coach Dabo Swinney. “It’s a great game for us to learn and grow from.” Florida State rolled up 667 yards of total offense, led by 380 passing yards and 102 rushing yards by EJ Manuel, who became the first Seminole to pass for 300 yards and rush for 100 yards in one game since Heisman Trophy winner Charlie Ward did so in 1992. “I don’t remember him making a bad decision all night,” said Florida State Head Coach Jimbo Fisher. “They were mixing up looks and bringing in blitzes from everywhere, and he made the plays that he had to.” The Tigers opened the game with a bang, as Tajh Boyd went over the top on the fifth play from scrimmage and hit DeAndre Hopkins for a 60-yard passing touchdown. Florida State struck back just 2:40 later, as Lonnie Pryor burst off tackle for a 13-yard touchdown to even the score. Clemson regained the lead at 14-7 when Andre Ellington rumbled in from six yards out on the ensuing possession to cap a 10-play, 79-yard drive. The Seminoles then missed a chance to narrow the gap when Dustin Hopkins’ 44-yard field-goal attempt sailed wide-right.

He carried three straight times for 44 yards to cap a seven-play, 77-yard drive. Florida State led by as many as 18 points after a Thompson 27-yard touchdown run, but Boyd and Ford hooked up again with 2:11 left in the game for a three-yard score on fourth down to provide the final margin.

After a Tiger punt, Florida State needed just four plays to cover 74 yards and tie the score at 14-14 with a five-yard run over right tackle by James Wilder, Jr. “When you can’t stop the run, you’re going to have a long night against a team like that,” stated Swinney. Clemson soon capitalized on the game’s first big miscue, a muffed punt by Rashad Greene at his own 30 that was recovered at the 31 by Phillip Fajgenbaum, and scored four plays later. Boyd found tight end Brandon Ford along the sideline for a 17-yard score to give the Tigers a seven-point lead with 10:06 left in the second quarter. Clemson stretched its lead to 14 points early in the third quarter after forcing a Seminole punt to open the second half. On a second-down play, Boyd threw a quick lateral to Sammy Watkins at his wide-receiver post. Watkins gathered himself and fired a strike across the field to a wide-open Ellington for a 52-yard touchdown that gave the Tigers a 28-14 lead with 11:48 remaining in the third quarter. Clemson center Dalton Freeman said after the contest that there were positives the team could take from its performance up to that point, even if there were few afterward. “There were several opportunities that we left out there,” admitted Freeman. “In the first half, they didn’t really slow us down, but we sputtered a little in the third quarter, and that led to bad things in the fourth quarter. There were a lot of good things, but we have to correct the mistakes.” Florida State quickly cut the deficit back to seven points when Chris Thompson waltzed in from nine yards out on an option pitch from Manuel. After the Tigers had seemingly seized control, the Seminoles needed just three plays and 1:39 to go 75 yards to paydirt. Clemson stretched its lead back to double-figures on its next possession, as Chandler Catanzaro booted a 50-yard field goal that made the score 31-21 with 7:07 left in the third quarter. With the kick, Catanzaro broke Obed Ariri’s school record for consecutive field goals made with his 15th in a row. Ariri’s record had stood since 1980. The Tigers’ momentum was short-lived, however, as Lamarcus Joyner returned the ensuing kickoff 90 yards to the Tiger 10. Two plays later, Manuel found Greene in the corner of the endzone to cut the deficit to 31-28. “Joyner’s kickoff return was a huge momentum swing in the game,” said Swinney. “It lit a fire for BRANDON FORD them.” HAD A GAME-HIGH After Clemson failed to move the TWO RECEIVING first-down sticks, the Seminoles TOUCHDOWNS AT took their first lead of the game #4 FLORIDA STATE. with a pass from Manuel to Rodney

It was another record-setting day for Clemson’s tandem of Tajh Boyd and DeAndre Hopkins, and more importantly for the #16 Tigers, in a crucial win in an environment that had not been kind in recent years. Boyd, who received the Leather Helmet Award as the game’s MVP, threw three touchdown passes and Hopkins set a school record with 197 receiving yards in the Tigers’ 45-31 win at Boston College. “Our guys responded all game long, so I’m really proud of them,” said Head Coach Dabo Swinney. “We did a lot of good things individually. I thought we really grew up defensively in the second half.” As Swinney alluded to, the Clemson defense made two crucial stops late, an interception by reserve cornerback Garry Peters and then a pass breakup by Travis Blanks on the Eagles’ final possession, to seal the win. “Coach (Brent) Venables told me I was going to start the second half, and I was nervous,” admitted Peters. “But, I went out there and I knew the defense had my back and I made some plays.” It was not all positive for Clemson’s defense, but it always seemed to make the plays that mattered most. The

unit recorded three sacks, two interceptions, and held the Eagles to a combined 7-21 on third and fourth-down attempts. As has often been the case it was the offense that set the tone. Clemson rolled up 576 yards of total offense, led by Boyd, who threw for 367 yards to go along with the three passing touchdowns. Hopkins totaled 197 receiving yards, which broke the previous Tiger record of 182 by Rod Gardner against North Carolina in 2000. “That was a goal on my list,” said Hopkins. “I have to give thanks to Coach (Chad) Morris for calling the plays and putting the ball in my hands and giving me the chance to make those plays.” Boston College opened the scoring at the 10:16 mark of the first quarter, as Andre Williams found a hole and outran the Tigers for a 30-yard touchdown scamper. However, the Tigers got on the scoreboard less than three minutes later on a 28-yard field goal by Chandler Catanzaro to cap a 12-play, 77-yard drive. After Clemson’s defense stopped Boston College threeand-out, the Tigers took their first lead of the day with 3:02 left in the first quarter on a six-yard run by Boyd, then they extended their lead to 17-7 when Boyd hit tight end Sam Cooper for a 15-yard touchdown on the opening play of the second quarter. Boston College trimmed Clemson’s lead to 1714 midway through the second quarter, going 92 yards in eight plays and finding the endzone on a three-yard pass from Rettig to Johnathan Coleman. After a Tiger three-and-out, Boston College regained the lead, as Rettig found Alex Amidon across the middle on fourth down. The junior wideout raced into the endzone for a 31-yard score to give the Eagles a 21-17 lead with 4:04 remaining in the second quarter. Clemson responded by marching 76 yards in 13 plays, capped by a Boyd-to-Brandon Ford four-yard touchdown pass with 23 seconds remaining before halftime. Roderick McDowell opened the second-half scoring with a 16-yard burst to put Clemson ahead 31-21. Three Tiger possessions later, Andre Ellington extended Clemson’s lead to 38-21 on a one-yard dive over the top, made possible by Rashard Hall’s interception inside Boston College territory. The Eagles struck back quickly, as Rettig connected with Amidon for a 42-yard scoring strike that narrowed Clemson’s lead to 10 points late in the third quarter. The Tigers responded in short order when Boyd went deep to Hopkins for a 35-yard touchdown pass and a 45-28 lead. Nate Freese cut the deficit back to 45-31 with 9:18 left on a 39-yard field goal.

After a Tiger turnover, Blanks put the finishing touch on the win, batting away a pass on fourth down at the Clemson 28, allowing the Tiger offense to run out the clock.

October 6, 2012 • Memorial Stadium • Clemson, SC Tajh Boyd passed for 397 yards and set the Clemson career record for passing touchdowns, as the #15 Tigers scored the game’s final 17 points and rolled to a 47-31 win over Georgia Tech at Memorial Stadium. “This was a great, great win and a complete game,” said Head Coach Dabo Swinney. “We won the fourth quarter, and that’s where football games are won. All three phases had huge contributions.” Despite Boyd’s heroics, it was Clemson’s defense that helped swing the momentum. After the Tigers took a 3831 lead with 10:29 left in the game, Chris Milton slipped and fell on the ensuing kickoff at his own two, where the Yellow Jackets began their drive. Spencer Shuey came up with a big play two snaps later as he hauled down Orwin Smith in the endzone for a safety that gave Clemson a 40-31 lead. It was the junior’s first career tackle for loss. “We had been preparing for that play all week,” said Shuey. “Once I saw the kickoff team pin them down (deep), I knew they had a pretty good chance to run the ball. I got a good read and a good jump on the ball and was able to make the play.” However, Boyd was intercepted on the ensuing possession and the Yellow Jackets looked poised to make for a close finish after they picked up 32 yards on a pass from Tevin Washington to Smith on the first play of the ensuing drive. Instead, the Tiger defense held and forced a 37-yard field-goal attempt by placekicker David Scully. Josh Watson penetrated the line and got a hand on Scully’s kick, denying the Yellow Jackets points and setting the Tigers up for 13-play, 80-yard, game-clinching drive. “We knew he was kicking low line drives, and we knew we could get our hands on it at the beginning of the game,” said Watson. “So, Grady (Jarrett) helped me out. We had two guys on one of the guards, and I put my hands up and blocked it.”

for two points and pulled off a nifty gadget play, snapping to Ellington, who pitched to Hopkins, who threw to Boyd for the conversion and a 38-31 lead. After Shuey’s play that led to the safety and Watson’s blocked kick, McDowell scored on a one-yard plunge with 50 seconds left in the game to cap a 13-play, 80-yard drive that provided the final margin of 47-31. “That was a huge, huge win for our team,” said Swinney. “It was a momentum win. That was something we talked a lot about. We were really trying to build some momentum going into the open date. I’m really proud of them.”

SPENCER SHUEY TACKLED ORWIN SMITH IN THE ENDZONE FOR A SAFETY IN THE FOURTH QUARTER THAT GAVE CLEMSON AN INSURMOUNTABLE LEAD.

While Shuey’s and Watson’s plays helped the Tigers pull away, it was the play of Boyd and the offense that put them in position to win. Boyd rushed for 63 yards, including 49 yards in the fourth quarter, to give him 460 yards of total offense. He connected with DeAndre Hopkins for scores of 58 and 35 yards for his 50th and 51st career passing touchdowns, breaking Charlie Whitehurst’s Tiger record of 49. For his efforts, Hopkins was named ACC Receiver-of-the-Week. Boyd chalked up his statistical achievements to being a product of the Tigers’ offensive system, which produced 601 yards. Offensive guard Tyler Shatley, who earned ACC Offensive Lineman-of-the-Week honors, had a team-high four knockdowns to lead the way to the 601-yard effort. “Every record is meant to be broken,” said Boyd. “It’s an exciting opportunity, but a great guy had it in Charlie. We’re trying to build legacies here, and it feels like we’re breaking records every week. But the main thing we need to focus on is continuing to win.” The Clemson defense made the game’s first momentum-changing play on the Yellow Jackets’ first drive, as Quandon Christian and Jonathan Willard stopped Washington on a fourth-and-one play to give the Tigers the ball at the Georgia Tech 37. Boyd then scored the game’s first points on a one-yard dive in the first quarter. Georgia Tech struck back in short order, as it needed just four plays to go 83 yards and find the endzone on a 16-yard pass from Washington to Jeff Greene. Clemson regained the lead on its next drive with a 23yard field goal by Chandler Catanzaro, then Georgia Tech took its first lead of the game late in the first quarter on a 13-yard touchdown run by Smith. The Tigers responded by going 75 yards in 13 plays and regained the advantage on a two-yard touchdown run by Roderick McDowell with 12:21 left in the first half. Clemson got the ball back by forcing its first threeand-out of the game, as Tavaris Barnes and Jarrett tackled Washington for a loss on third down. Nine plays later, Catanzaro extended Clemson’s lead to 20-14 on a 20-yard field goal, but Georgia Tech responded again with a march of its own, as Washington capped a seven-play, 85-yard drive with a one-yard touchdown plunge to put the Yellow Jackets ahead 21-20 with 5:04 remaining in the first half. The Tigers took the lead right back, as Boyd scrambled and found Hopkins all alone near the sideline for a 58-yard touchdown and a 27-21 lead, which was the score at halftime. Georgia Tech seized the lead back on the first possession of the second half, as Washington’s four-yard touchdown run made the score 28-27. After the teams traded turnovers, with Jarrett recovering a fumble at the Tiger seven on fourth down to spoil a potential Georgia Tech scoring drive, Clemson moved back in front on a 21-yard field goal by Catanzaro that capped a 14-play, 90-yard drive and took 5:27 off the clock. Georgia Tech moved back in front 31-30 on the ensuing possession on Scully’s 26-yard field goal with 13:03 left in the fourth quarter. The Tigers responded quickly and went 75 yards in eight plays, finding the endzone on a leaping grab by Hopkins for a 35-yard touchdown from Boyd. Clemson went

In a game where Clemson’s offense uncharacteristically struggled, its defense rose to the occasion, coming up with three interceptions and holding Virginia Tech to just seven second-half points in a 38-17 win at Memorial Stadium. “We improved today,” said Defensive Coordinator Brent Venables. “I’m really happy for the guys. This is the first time we feel like it wasn’t just one quarter...we played well enough for four quarters to give ourselves a chance to win.” The win marked the 11th straight at home for the #13 Tigers, who tied a school record that was last accomplished in 1991. “The reason that’s a big deal is that it’s step in the right direction toward creating a culture that you have to have if you’re going to be a great program and a consistent program,” stated Swinney. “You have to win at home.” After Clemson’s offense went three-and-out to open the contest, the Hokies found the endzone seven plays later when Logan Thomas connected with Corey Fuller for a 29-yard touchdown and a 7-0 lead with 10:28 left in the first quarter. The Tigers dented the scoreboard on the final play of the first quarter, as Chandler Catanzaro made a 27-yard field goal to cap a 13-play, 73-yard drive. The defense helped set up the score by stopping the Hokies on a fourth-down play at the Clemson 18. Clemson took its first lead with 9:29 remaining in the second quarter when Tajh Boyd dove over the line from

one yard out for a touchdown and a 10-7 lead. The Tigers caught a break to set up the score when Spencer Benton’s punt bounced off a Virginia Tech player and was recovered by Tony Steward at the Hokie 26. Six plays and 1:53 later, Boyd reached paydirt. “Creating that turnover on special teams was huge,” said Swinney, whose team had a 43-23 advantage in average starting field position. “We talk about that all the time, making an impact on special teams, and we did that.” The Clemson defense then added to the lead, as Jonathan Meeks picked off a Thomas pass at the Tiger 26 and raced 74 yards for a touchdown to make the score 17-7. The interception was Meeks’ second of the day. “The two receivers ran some underneath, shallow routes and Thomas overthrew the receiver,” said Meeks, who was named ACC Defensive Back-of-the-Week. “I was able to get a good break on it. The guys blocked for me and helped me take it to the house.” Virginia Tech pulled back within one score before halftime, as Cody Journell made a 40-yard field goal with three seconds left to cap a nine-play, 52-yard drive. The Tigers stretched their lead back out to 24-10 with 4:30 left in the third quarter on a 12-yard touchdown run by Andre Ellington, who started outside, cut back inside, and beat a pair of Hokie defenders to the goal line for a touchdown. “He doesn’t lose a lot of yards, and it seems like he is always moving,” said Swinney of Ellington. The touchdown was set up by a 27-yard connection from Boyd to Sammy Watkins two plays earlier. After the Tiger defense forced a three-and-out, Boyd hit DeAndre Hopkins for a 37-yard touchdown pass just three plays and 50 seconds later to extend the Clemson lead to 31-10 with 0:50 left in the third quarter. Clemson was forced to punt after just one first down on its next drive, then Thomas scored on a 19-yard run four plays later to cap a 61-yard drive and make the score 31-17 with 9:52 remaining in the game. The Hokies forced a three-andout and tried to throw a wrinkle at the Tigers in hopes of making it a one-score game. Thomas threw a lateral to wide receiver Marcus Davis, who gathered himself and threw across the field. Davis’ pass was picked off by Xavier Brewer to set Clemson up at the Virginia Tech 41. From there, Clemson drained most of the clock with a nine-play drive that lasted 5:22, culminating in a one-yard touchdown by Boyd JONATHAN MEEKS HAD TWO on fourth down to put the game INTERCEPTIONS, INCLUDING out of reach.

Clemson Wake Forest

42 13

October 25, 2012 • BB&T Field • Winston-Salem, NC Dabo Swinney is quick to debunk what he calls “voodoo,” the strange phenomenon that leads to things such as Clemson being 1-9 all-time in ESPN Thursday night games. It appears the Tiger head coach has turned his team into staunch nonbelievers, too. “Thursday night is just Thursday night to us,” said Jonathan Meeks in the aftermath of the #13 Tigers’ 42-13 win over Wake Forest in Winston-Salem, NC. Clemson emphatically exorcised those demons on this particular Thursday night, as Tajh Boyd set a school record with 428 passing yards and five touchdowns, all in the first half, in the rout of the Demon Deacons, the Tigers’ fourth straight victory in the series. For his efforts, he was named ACC Offensive Back-of-the-Week. “Everyone has been reminding me all week that Clemson is 1-9 in Thursday night games,” admitted Swinney after the Tigers improved that record to 2-9. “So maybe we can start a new tradition now of winning those games.” The night also served as a 2012 coming-out party of sorts for Sammy Watkins, as the sophomore became the first player in Clemson history to accumulate 200 receiving yards in a game. He finished with eight receptions for 202 yards, eclipsing the century mark for the first time in 2012 and topping his previous career high of 155 receiving yards prior to halftime with 177 yards. “I played within the system and got great balls from Tajh,” explained Watkins, who earned ACC Receiver-of-theWeek honors. “I’m getting back in the groove.” After punts on its first two possessions, Clemson finally got rolling on its third drive. On a second-down play, Boyd found a wide-open Watkins on a 57-yard pass down the sideline to set the Tigers up at the Wake Forest 10. Three

plays later, Boyd connected with Brandon Ford on third down for a nine-yard touchdown and a 7-0 lead. On the first play of the second quarter, Boyd and Watkins hooked up for another big play, this time a 61-yard touchdown pass, as Watkins ran a deep out route, outran a pair of defenders, and tiptoed down the sideline to put the Tigers up 14-0. “Coach (Chad) Morris called the plays aggressive this week, and I played aggressive,” said Watkins. “We came out and executed all the plays he called.” After Jonathan Willard helped force a Wake Forest punt with a third-down sack, Clemson added to its lead in short order, going 80 yards in seven plays. Boyd hit Sam Cooper over the middle for an 11-yard touchdown strike. The Tigers added to the lead and Boyd to his touchdown-pass tally on their next possession, as DeAndre Hopkins caught a 12-yard scoring pass to cap a six-play, 68-yard drive that put Clemson up 28-0. The Tigers got the ball right back, as Josh Watson recovered a Wake Forest fumble caused by Cortez Davis on the Demon Deacon 19. Four plays later, Boyd threw his fifth touchdown pass of the first half to a fifth different receiver, this time a two-yard fade route to Charone Peake. “Charone has been awesome since last spring and has had a heck of a year,” said Swinney. “It was really good to see that from him. We gave him the opportunity there, and it was a well-executed route.” Wake Forest finally dented the scoreboard with 12 seconds left in the first half when Tanner Price hit Tommy Bohanon for an eight-yard touchdown. Price and Bohanon hooked up again to open the second-half scoring with an 18-yard touchdown with 7:45 left in the third quarter that trimmed the deficit to 35-13.

D.J. Howard stretched the Tigers’ lead back out to 42-13 with a one-yard touchdown run that capped a 13-play, 86yard drive and provided the final score. Clemson’s good work was not limited solely to the offensive side of the ball. The Tiger defense also turned one of its best performance of the season, as it recorded five sacks. Boyd stayed in the game just long enough to surpass Charlie Whitehurst’s school record of 420 passing yards, set against Duke in 2002. The recordbreaker came on a 37yard pass to Martavis Bryant midway through the fourth quarter. “I wasn’t really going for the record,” said Boyd. “I’m not going to lie, I wanted to go for 400 (passing yards). To break the record topped it off, but the major part about it is we won, and that’s all we really worry about.”

Broken records are becoming a bit like, well, a broken record for the Clemson offense. Tajh Boyd threw five first-half touchdown passes and DeAndre Hopkins hauled in three of them in the first quarter alone, as #9 Clemson rolled up 718 yards of offense in thumping Duke 56-20 at Wallace Wade Stadium. It was the first-ever night game in the history of the series. Along the way, Boyd broke Woodrow Dantzler’s school record for career touchdown responsibility and Hopkins did the same to receiving touchdown marks both on a career and season basis, as the Tigers amassed 33 first downs and 384 passing yards. “We believed if they were going to play man coverage in the secondary, we could be successful like we were against Wake Forest,” said Tiger Head Coach Dabo Swinney. “Tajh was terrific in the first half, and ‘Nuk’ (Hopkins) continues to set records.” And so does the Clemson offense. It was just the second time in Tiger history that Clemson reached the 700yard mark, while the 56 points were the most ever by the Tigers at Wallace Wade Stadium. The Tigers wasted little time getting on the scoreboard, as they marched 76 yards on their opening drive and found the endzone on a five-yard fade route from Boyd to Hopkins for a 7-0 lead. Duke’s first possession also netted points, as the Blue Devils drove 54 yards in 12 plays, capped by a 46-yard field goal by Ross Martin. Boyd and Hopkins hooked up again for a touchdown just four plays later to build the lead to 14-3. Hopkins beat his man down the middle of the field for a 58-yard touchdown reception.

DeANDRE HOPKINS HAD THREE TOUCHDOWN CATCHES IN THE FIRST QUARTER IN CLEMSON’S WIN AT DUKE. 78

In his typically humble fashion, Boyd deflected the credit for his achievements. “There are not too many quarterbacks who can say they have the type of receivers that I have here,” stated Boyd, who was named ACC Offensive Back-of-the-Week for his efforts. “Even beyond ‘Nuk’ and Sammy, all of those guys are unbelievable players. They have been working hard, and it’s always fun to see those guys come out and make plays.” Duke struck right back, as Sean Renfree found Jamison Crowder just two plays and 17 seconds later on a 77-yard touchdown pass that made the score 14-10 with 7:02 left in the first quarter. Hopkins hauled in his third touchdown of the quarter on the ensuing drive, breaking open down the sideline and coasting into the endzone for a 45-yard reception that made the score 21-10. The touchdown reception was the 13th of the season for Hopkins, which set a Clemson single-season record, and also put the junior over the 1,000yard mark on the season. “Records are just records,” said Hopkins, who finished with four receptions for 128 yards. “They are meant to be broken. And one day, someone is going to break my records. It feels good for the time being that I have them, but that’s not my main goal or my focus.” Watkins got into the act on the Tigers’ next drive, hauling in a 30-yard touchdown to cap a seven-play, 80-yard drive with 16 seconds left in the first quarter. Duke cut Clemson’s lead to 28-17 early in the second quarter when Brandon Connette hit tight end David Reeves for a 17-yard touchdown. Boyd soon threw his fifth touchdown pass of the first half, this time hitting Martavis Bryant for a 41-yard score to give Clemson a 35-17 lead. Boyd accounted for another touchdown late in the first half, this time with his feet, as he darted in from 21 yards out one play after Watkins set Clemson up in Duke territory with a 30-yard grab down the sideline. For the second contest in a row, Boyd threw five touchdowns in the first half, which matched the school record for an entire game, but he was unable to add to that tally after halftime on either occasion to set another record. Clemson also amassed 487 yards of total offense in the first half. “Tajh was awesome tonight,” said Tiger center Dalton Freeman. “He made all the right calls. We knew we could hit some big plays to ‘Nuk’ and Sammy.” The scoring slowed down after halftime, but Clemson built its lead to 49-17 on a one-yard touchdown run by D.J. Howard that capped a 10-play, 69-yard drive in the third quarter. Martin split the uprights on a 47-yard field goal for Duke on the ensuing possession to trim its deficit to 49-20 late in the third quarter. Backup signal-caller Cole Stoudt picked up where Boyd left off and threw a touchdown pass early in the fourth quarter, as he found Charone Peake for a 12-yard score on a fourth-down play that capped an 11-play, 86-yard drive and provided the final score of 56-20. “It was great to get some action with the second team on both sides of the ball,” said Swinney. Clemson won its fourth game away from home for just the second time in the last 15 years thanks in large part to

November 10, 2012 • Memorial Stadium • Clemson, SC Facing a Maryland team ravaged by injuries, #8 Clemson showed little sympathy at Memorial Stadium. The Tigers scored the game’s first two touchdowns just 12 seconds apart and rolled up 35 points before halftime for the third straight game on the way to a 45-10 win on Homecoming. “There is no doubt we came ready to play,” said Head Coach Dabo Swinney. “We were ready from the first snap.” With the victory, Clemson set a school record with its 12th straight win at Memorial Stadium, dating to the 2011 season-opener against Troy. On their fifth starting quarterback this season and without their leading rusher, receiver, and tackler, the Terrapins were no match for a Tiger team that won its sixth straight game in ACC play by a margin of at least 14 points. The Tigers opened the scoring on their second offensive possession with a diving 13-yard grab by Adam Humphries for his first career touchdown and a 7-0 lead. “It was a little crossing route, and thankfully Tajh (Boyd) put it out in a hole for me,” recalled Humphries. “I was hidden behind a linebacker and didn’t really see the ball until the last second. I was thankful that I was in the right place.” Clemson added to its lead on the next play from scrimmage. The ball slipped out of Shawn Petty’s hand as he attempted to throw, and Corey Crawford scooped up the fumble and returned it 16 yards for a touchdown and a 14-0 lead with 7:07 left in the first quarter. “Those don’t come every day,” said Crawford of his first career score. “The feeling is indescribable. I’m so happy right now.” The two Tiger touchdowns came just 12 seconds apart, which established the shortest interval between touch-

downs in Clemson history. The previous record was 14 seconds, which was the time span between two Derrick Hamilton touchdowns against Duke in 2003. After Xavier Brewer caused a fumble and Malliciah Goodman recovered the ball later in the first quarter, Boyd hooked up with DeAndre Hopkins for a 28-yard touchdown seven plays and 53 yards later to extend the Clemson lead to 21-0. Clemson stretched its lead to 28-0 on its next possession, as Boyd hit Brandon Ford for a 22-yard touchdown down the sideline to cap a seven-play, 60-yard drive. Maryland finally dented the scoreboard after recovering a muffed punt at the Tiger 18. Two plays later, Petty found Devonte Campbell open for a 17-yard touchdown. Andre Ellington added another touchdown for the Tigers on their next possession, scampering in from six yards to make the score 35-7 after he had bulled over a tackler en route to a 13-yard gain on the previous play. The score marked the third straight game the Tigers scored at least 35 points in the first half, a first in program history. “We wanted to come out strong early,” said center Dalton Freeman. “Traditionally, Clemson football hasn’t been very consistent, and we’re trying to put all that to bed. We were glad to be able to come out and jump on them early like we did.” Chandler Catanzaro made the score 38-7 with a 22-yard field goal on Clemson’s first possession of the second half after Martavis Bryant’s 48-yard reception along the sideline set the Tigers up deep in Terrapin territory. Maryland got those three points back with a field goal of its own, a 39-yard kick by Brad Craddock that was set up by a 74-yard return of a missed field-goal attempt by the

Tigers. Craddock’s field goal made the score 38-10 with 3:24 left in the third quarter. Clemson built its lead to 45-10 early in the fourth quarter, as Cole Stoudt directed a 16-play, 76-yard drive that culminated in a four-yard touchdown strike to Stanton Seckinger. The score was the first of Seckinger’s career. “I’ve told my players that now is the time when top-10 teams separate themselves from the pack,” said Swinney. “The end of November is when it matters. We need to play our best football down the stretch.” The Tiger defense played one of its best games of the season, as it held the Terrapins to 180 yards, including only 41 passing yards. Maryland was just 1-13 on third-down conversions, as its one successful third-down conversion came on its first attempt of the game.

Even as well as Clemson had been playing, some still wondered how it might respond to adversity. Facing its largest deficit at home this season (24-13) to N.C. State, the Tigers showed them by scoring 42 consecutive points. The 62-48 win over the Wolfpack at Memorial Stadium gave #9 Clemson its first 10-win regular season since the 1981 National Championship season. “That’s the first time we’ve faced adversity in awhile,” said senior center Dalton Freeman, who was named ACC Offensive Lineman-of-the-Week. “I think that speaks a lot about this team and the character we have.” The game was the most prolific in Memorial Stadium history from an offensive standpoint, both in terms of yardage and scoring. The two teams combined for 1,351 yards and 110 points, both totals that bested marks set in Clemson’s memorable 82-24 win over Wake Forest in 1981. Tajh Boyd, who was named ACC Offensive Back-ofthe-Week, totaled 426 passing yards and five touchdowns along with 103 rushing yards and three more touchdowns on the ground. He became the first player in ACC history to account for eight touchdowns in a game. Andre Ellington went over the century mark with 124 rushing yards, while Sammy Watkins (110) and Brandon Ford (101) reached the century mark in receiving yards. Clemson got on the scoreboard with a field goal on the opening drive of the game, as Chandler Catanzaro made a 46-yarder. After the defense forced a three-and-out, Clemson added to its lead on a four-yard touchdown run by Boyd to make the score 10-0. The Tiger defense again held N.C. State without a first down on its next possession, and Catanzaro added another field goal, this time from 43 yards out. But the Wolfpack struck back on the next play from scrimmage. Mike Glennon hit Tobais Palmer down the sideline for a 77-yard touchdown pass. After the Clemson offense went three-and-out, N.C. State again scored on the first play of its ensuing possession, as Glennon and Palmer hooked up again, this time on a post pattern for a 49-yard touchdown and a 14-13 lead.

Just 1:12 after the Tigers went up 13-0, they suddenly found themselves trailing. After another Tiger punt, N.C. State extended its lead to 21-13 on an 18-yard touchdown pass from Glennon to Rashard Smith. Juston Burris intercepted a Boyd pass, then Niklas Sade made a 32-yard field goal to stretch the Wolfpack’s lead to 24-13 early in the second quarter. The 11-point deficit at that point was the largest Clemson had faced since its only loss of the season at Florida State on September 22. The Tigers cut into the deficit on the ensuing drive, as Boyd hit Brandon Ford for a seven-yard score that made it 24-19 before they failed on a two-point conversion try. The Tigers got the ball back on a fourth-down stop, which was led by Corey Crawford and Grady Jarrett. Four plays later, Boyd hooked up with Watkins for a 27-yard catch-and-run for a touchdown. This time, the Tigers converted the two-point try for a 27-24 lead. Less than four minutes after Clemson faced its largest deficit at home all season, it already had the lead back. The Wolfpack looked poised to regain the lead on the ensuing possession, but after driving 83 yards in 11 plays to the Tiger nine, Rashard Hall picked off Glennon in the endzone to keep Clemson on top. Five plays later, Boyd found a wide-open DeAndre Hopkins streaking down the N.C. State sideline for a 62-yard touchdown that gave the Tigers a 34-24 lead with 2:22 left before halftime. Hopkins became Clemson’s all-time leader in career receiving yards on the catch. On the next play from scrimmage, Malliciah Goodman sacked Glennon and forced a fumble, which was recovered by Crawford to set the Tigers up at the N.C. State 32. Four plays later, Boyd sprinted in from nine yards out to give the Tigers a 41-24 lead, which was the halftime score. Clemson needed four minutes of the third quarter to find the endzone again, as Boyd hit a wide-open Martavis Bryant in the middle of the field for a 40-yard touchdown. With the touchdown, Boyd broke his own ACC record for touchdown responsibility with his 39th of the season, surpassing the previous mark of 38 that he set in 2011. Boyd added to that total on the Tigers’ next drive, as he kept the ball on an option play and took it in from nine yards out. After trailing 24-13 in the second quarter, the Tigers had scored the next 42 points to take a 55-24 lead. N.C. State finally broke its scoring drought with 3:55 left in the third quarter when Shadrach Thornton reached the endzone on a 16-yard run. N.C. State wasted little time in scoring again, as Earl Wolff intercepted a Boyd pass three plays later and returned it 19 yards to the Clemson six. On the next play, N.C. State scored on its fourth one-play drive of the night when Glennon connected with Mario Carter to cut the Tigers’ lead to 55-38. Glennon was 29-53 passing for 493 yards and five touchdowns in the game. Clemson needed three plays to respond. Boyd hit Ford, who broke into the open field for a 69-yards touchdown. N.C. State struck back by marching 56 yards in 10 plays and finding the endzone on another Glennon-to-Palmer connection, this time a 29-yarder that made the score 6245 inside the opening minute of the fourth quarter. N.C. State pulled back within 14 points at 62-48 on a 40-yard field goal by Sade with 7:35 remaining, but that turned out to be the last score of the game.

GAME 12

South Carolina Clemson

27 17

November 24, 2012 • Memorial Stadium • Clemson, SC For the first time all season, an opponent figured out how to keep Clemson’s offense under 20 points. The #9 Tigers scored just three points after the first quarter and totaled only 19 plays after halftime, as they saw their school-record 13-game home winning streak come to an end at the hands of #12 South Carolina by a score of 27-17 at Memorial Stadium. “We got off to a good start by scoring two touchdowns in the first quarter, but they started to control the ball after that,” said Head Coach Dabo Swinney. “Give them credit... they did a great job. Their ability to put pressure on Tajh (Boyd) was key.” That pressure was led by sophomore defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, who finished with seven tackles and a Memorial Stadium record 4.5 sacks. Clemson finished the game with 328 yards of total offense, while Boyd completed just 11-24 passes for 183 yards and two interceptions. After the two teams traded punts to start the game, Clemson opened the scoring by methodically marching 85 yards to find the endzone on a three-yard run by Boyd on a third-and-goal play. The Gamecocks answered with their own touchdown on the ensuing drive, as Dylan Thompson hit Bruce Ellington for a 13-yard touchdown pass to cap a seven-play, 63yard drive to tie the score. The Tigers needed just two plays and 24 seconds to respond. Roderick McDowell sprinted 32 yards down the sideline to open the drive. On the next play, Boyd passed down the same sideline to DeAndre Hopkins, who beat a pair of Gamecock defenders to the ball for a 43-yard touchdown and a 14-7 lead. The score marked the ninth consecutive game with a touchdown catch for Hopkins,

who matched the ACC record set by Herman Moore (Virginia) in 1990. South Carolina cut into the deficit with a 27-yard field goal by Adam Yates with 2:40 left in the second quarter that made the score 14-10. The Gamecocks took their first lead of the game on the first possession of the second half, as Thompson found Ace Sanders for a 34-yard touchdown on a third-and-16 play. The drive covered 85 yards in 10 plays and put South Carolina ahead 17-14. On the night, Thompson threw for 310 yards and three scores on 23-41 passing, while he also rushed for 38 yards. “We couldn’t disrupt him (Thompson),” admitted Swinney. “He threw the ball incredibly well. He was the difference in the game.” Yates extended the Gamecocks’ lead to 20-14 with a 43yard field goal later in the third quarter. Clemson got those three points right back, however, as Chandler Catanzaro made a 37-yard field goal to pull the Tigers back to 20-17. Jaron Brown’s leaping 38-yard grab over a Gamecock defender on the opening play of the drive was key in Clemson moving the ball 56 yards. Xavier Brewer made sure the score stayed that way on the next drive. After two pass-interference penalties, one on fourth down and the other on third down, extended South Carolina’s drive, Brewer came up with a sack to force another third down. He then picked off a Thompson pass in the back of the endzone to squelch a 15-play, 50-yard march and give the Tigers the ball back with 13:23 left in the game. Brewer, who was named ACC Defensive Back-of-theWeek, had a game-high 12 tackles, three tackles for loss, one sack, an interception, and two pass breakups.

ON SENIOR DAY AT MEMORIAL STADIUM, XAVIER BREWER HAD A GAME-HIGH 12 TACKLES, THREE TACKLES FOR LOSS, ONE SACK, AND AN INTERCEPTION AGAINST #12 SOUTH CAROLINA.

“After that interception in the endzone, we felt like we could reclaim the lead, but they made some big plays to keep us off balance and we couldn’t turn the table,” said Swinney. The Gamecocks came up with an interception on the ensuing possession, and their offense then marched 65 yards in 13 plays and found the endzone with a six-yard pass from Thompson to Ellington to give South Carolina a 10-point lead with just 4:17 remaining and provide the final margin. The drive was extended on a 20-yard run by Thompson on third-and-19 deep in Tiger territory. “Nineteen plays in the second half...it makes it that much more important to take advantage of the opportunities you do have,” said Boyd. “It was a learning lesson here and a life lesson as well, and we have to come back and get ready for a bowl game.”

Headen recovered Clemson made its third consecutive bowl appearance the ensuing onside kick, and Lott completed a 30-yard in 1979 after an 8-3 season.

An over Gator Bowl-bound North Carolina and a dramatic, interception killed the winning touchdown drive, however, come-from-behind 16-10 victory at Notre Dame. The 1979 and Baylor ran out the remaining seconds for the win. season was also Danny Ford’s first full campaign as head coach. The Tigers got on the board first with a 66-yard drive highlighted by Billy Lott’s 27-yard pass to Lester Brown. Brown scored two plays later on a one-yard dive over the middle and Obed Ariri’s point after made the score 7-0 midway through the first quarter. Baylor took the lead on two second-quarter touchdown passes from Mike Brannon to Bo Taylor and Robert Holt. Robert Bledsoe converted after both scores and the Southwest Conference representatives led 14-7 at intermission. Clemson took the second half kickoff and a combination of runs by Lott, Brown, and Tracy Perry took the Tigers to the Baylor 22. The drive stalled there and Ariri’s 40-yard field goal narrowed the margin to 14-10. Quarterback Mickey Elam led Baylor on a 64-yard field goal drive after the kickoff, and he later threw a seven-yard touchdown to Raymond Cockrell to push the Bears’ lead to 24-10. Mike Singletary (future All-Pro with the Chicago Bears), led the Baylor defense with 20 tackles. He was a major reason Clemson gained a season low 67 yards rushing in 51 attempts.
