2010 Clemson Football

Clemson’s Football Heritage Academic Excellence • Clemson has had 50 players in the last 10 seasons who have played for the Tigers after they earned their undergraduate degree. That includes three current Tigers (Mike Wade, Terrance Ashe and Richard Jackson on the 2010 team). • Clemson’s football team had 33 players named to the Academic Honor Roll for the 2010 spring semester, the third straight semester with at least 30 selections. The list of academic honor roll selections included first-team All-ACC players DeAndre McDaniel and Michael Palmer. • Each of the top-eight team GPAs have taken place in the last 10 years. That includes the 2010 spring semester when the team had a 2.56 GPA, second-best on record. • Seven Clemson players made the Academic All-ACC team for 2009, the most in Clemson history for one season. Clemson was second to Duke in the number of selections. The list of Tigers included All-American Thomas Austin, and Freshman All-American Dalton Freeman. • In the last four years, 73 of the 79 players who have stayed at Clemson until their final year have graduated (92.4 percent). That includes a graduation rate of 91 percent for scholarship football players (58-64) who have stayed until their senior season. All 20 seniors on the 2006 team received their degrees, and 16 of the 18 seniors on the 2009 team already have their degrees. • Chad Carson and Kyle Young were first-team academic All-Americans in 2000 and 2001. Clemson was the only Division I school in the nation with two first-team picks each year. Young was a first-team academic All-American from 1999-01 and became just the second ACC player in history to be a three-time, first-team selection. He is one of just two offensive linemen in college football history to be a three-time, first-team academic AllAmerican. He is currently an associate athletic director in the Clemson Athletic Department. • Chad Carson joined Kyle Young in graduating from Clemson University Summa Cum Laude. In 2002, Carson reached the final stage of the Rhodes Scholarship selection process, as he was the only Division I football player in the nation who could make that prestigious claim. All-Star Selections • Clemson has a history of decorated football players. The program boasts 62 different All-Americans in its history, including three members of the 2009 team. C.J. Spiller was a unanimous first-team All-American in 2009, just the third unanimous All-American in Clemson history.

In the last four years, 73 of the 79 players who have stayed at Clemson until their final year have graduated.

He was sixth in the Heisman Trophy voting. Spiller was joined by junior DeAndre McDaniel, a first-team Football Writers Association All-America at safety, and Thomas Austin, a third-team All-American at offensive guard by Sporting News. Offensive linemen Barry Richardson and Chris McDuffie were both named to various teams in 2007, the first time in Tiger history that two offensive linemen on the same team were named All-American. In 2006, the late Gaines Adams was a unanimous AllAmerican and was the number-four selection of the NFL draft. Adams, Spiller and Terry Kinard are the three firstteam unanimous All-Americans in Clemson history. The Clemson program has had at least one All-American in 30 of the last 33 years. Clemson has had at least one First-Team All-ACC player each of the last 33 years, the longest active streak and the longest overall streak in ACC history. In 2009, Spiller, Michael Palmer and McDaniel were first-team selections, while four other players were second team choices. Clemson had nine players named to the ACC’s 50-Year Anniversary team, more than any other school. The list

of honorees shows the balance of the program over the years, as every area of a football team (by position) was represented. The nine players are Joe Bostic, Jerry Butler, Bennie Cunningham, Jeff Davis, Steve Fuller, Terry Kinard, Michael Dean Perry, William Perry, and Anthony Simmons. All nine players were All-Americans during at least one season at Clemson and played in the NFL. Bowl History • Clemson’s victory in the 2009 Music City Bowl was its 32nd bowl game in history. Clemson’s 16-win total in those games is 18th-most in history. • Clemson’s first bowl game was a 6-3 victory over Boston College and Frank Leahy in the 1940 Cotton Bowl. Leahy is still second in college football history in winning percentage. • Clemson won five straight bowl games between the 1986 and 1990 seasons, tied for the eighth-longest winning streak in college football history in consecutive seasons. Clemson defeated Stanford, Penn State, Oklahoma, West Virginia, and Illinois during the stretch. • Clemson has defeated some of the top coaches in college football history in bowl competition. Among the list of celebrated head coaches who have lost to Clemson in bowl games since the ACC was founded are Joe Paterno (winningest coach in Division I history on a total-victories basis), Barry Switzer (#4-winningest Division I coach on a winning percentage basis), and Tom Osborne (#7-winningest Division I coach on a winning percentage basis). Hall of Fame Head Coach Woody Hayes suffered his final defeat against the Tigers in 1978 in the Gator Bowl. Overall, Clemson has defeated nine head coaches in bowl games who are enshrined in the College Football Hall of Fame. • The 2009 Music City Bowl was Clemson’s 21st bowl appearance since 1985, a tangible representation of the program’s consistency. That mark is ninth in the nation in bowl appearances in the last 25 seasons. The Tigers have been to a bowl game 10 of the last 11 years and have been bowl-eligible 11 straight seasons. Championship Tradition • The Tigers were named National Champions by every service in 1981, as they were the only school in the nation with a perfect record (12-0). The year included three wins over top-10 teams (Georgia, Nebraska, North Carolina), the only team in college football to beat three top-10 teams in 1981. It was just the second national title for an ACC school. • The 1981 team had five All-Americans on its roster, including first-team selections Jeff Davis, Terry Kinard, and

Clemson’s Football Heritage • Tommy Bowden continued the tradition of outstanding Tiger coaches by leading the team to bowl games each of his first five years, the only coach in Clemson history to do that. He was ACC Coach-of-the-Year twice. In 2003, he became the second Tiger coach to defeat three top-25 teams in the same year and the second to record at least two top-10 wins in one year. He led Clemson to eight consecutive winning seasons, the longest streak by one coach in school history and coached the Tigers in eight bowl games, tied for third-most in ACC history. • Current Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney was named the ACC Coach of the Year by The Sporting News and was one of 10 national finalist for the Liberty Mutual National Coach of the Year. He led Clemson to nine wins in his first full season, second in the nation among first year coaches in 2009.

Perry Tuttle. Thirty-one players on the 1981 squad were eventually drafted by the NFL and 22 players eventually played in the NFL. Twenty-three different players on the 1981 roster were First-Team All-ACC selections at one time during their careers. Since the ACC was formed in 1953, Clemson has more overall wins (388) and ACC wins (233) than any other school. Clemson won the Atlantic Division Championship of the ACC in 2009. Clemson has won 13 ACC titles (12 outright and one tied), still the all-time ACC record. Clemson won the Southern Conference title in 1940 and 1948 along with the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association in 1900 and 1902, giving the program 17 conference crowns.

Conference Competitiveness • Clemson is a charter member of the Atlantic Coast Conference. Year in and year out, the ACC is considered among the best of the BCS conferences. The league is competitive with 12 teams, nine of whom went to bowls in 2009. The conference had a record 10 bowl teams in 2008. • Clemson has posted 10 straight winning seasons, a streak that dates to a 9-3 record in 2000. Clemson was one of just 14 schools nationally with a winning season in every year of the 2000s. • Clemson, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Maryland, and Miami (FL) are schools within the conference that have won a national title. • When Clemson running back C.J. Spiller, the ACC’s Player of the Year, was chosen as the 9th overall selection it preserved a streak for the Conference of having a player chosen among the Top 10 Draft picks in each of the past five years. Since the 2006 Draft, the ACC is the only conference to have had a Top 10 selection in each of the past five years. • Since 2006, the ACC has 16 Top Ten NFL selections, trailing only the SEC (17) in that category. The Big 12 was next with 12 Top Ten draftees since 2006.

• In the last four years, the ACC has 34 first-round selections, second nationally among leagues by just two. • No fewer than 17 players on the rosters of the 2010 Super Bowl teams played their collegiate football at ACC schools, while 10 of the coaches had some connection to an ACC institution. The American Football Conference Champion Colts had six coaches with ACC ties led by head coach Jim Caldwell, who spent eight seasons as head coach at Wake Forest from 1993 through the 2000 season. Former Clemson offensive coordinator Clyde Christensen was on that staff. • For the second straight year, the Atlantic Coast Conference led all conferences by a wide margin in the number of former football standouts selected from its current schools to play in the National Football League’s Pro Bowl. Current ACC schools saw 23 of their former standouts selected to play in this year’s Pro Bowl. The Southeastern Conference was second with 15 selections, with the Big Ten third with 14. The Pac-10 had 13 selections followed by the Big 12 and the Big East with 11 honorees each. • For the fifth consecutive year, the Atlantic Coast Conference led all conferences in the nation in the Football Bowl Subdivision in graduating its football players. ACC schools have combined to graduate their players at a rate of 72.33 percent according to the NCAA’s 2009 Graduation Success Rate (GSR) survey. Exposure • Clemson is one of the most-televised teams in the nation every year. In 2009, 11 of Clemson’s 14 games were on some type of live television. Eight games were shown on ABC or on the ESPN family of networks. • Clemson’s 2009 senior class had 45 of their 53 games on live television, including 37 games on one of the ESPN family of networks. • Clemson has averaged nine televised games during the last 25 years. • Every season, the Clemson vs. Florida State game is one of the nation’s most highly-rated college football games. In 2007, the game was played on Labor Day night on

Coaching Success • Clemson has a legendary history when it comes to coaching. Three former Tiger mentors (John Heisman, Frank Howard, Jess Neely) are already in the College Football Hall of Fame. Howard was Clemson’s coach when the ACC was founded and promptly took the Tigers to six ACC titles. No coach had more league titles than Howard during his 30-year tenure at Clemson. He concluded his career with 165 victories, and his 30-year tenure still is third-longest in NCAA history for a coach serving at one school. • Danny Ford coached Clemson to the National Championship in 1981 and won six bowl games in his Clemson career, second on the all-time ACC coaching list. His 76-percent winning mark is also second-best in ACC history. He was the consensus national coach-of-the-year in 1981, and he remains the youngest coach (33) to win a national title.

Poll Presence • The 2009 season marked the 24th year that Clemson was ranked in the final top 25 of the AP poll. It was the third time in the last five years that Clemson was ranked in the final top 25. The Tigers’ highest ranking is #1, a mark achieved on November 30, 1981 and in the final poll that season (January 4, 1982). • Clemson once had a streak of 46 consecutive weeks ranked in the AP poll during the 1980s. • Clemson finished in the top 20 of all the final polls from 1986-91, a six-year streak.

They are the only brother combination in ACC history that can make that claim. 2010 Clemson Football

2010 Preview The #1 question from the news media for Clemson Head Coach Dabo Swinney leading up to the 2010 season will be, “How do you replace C.J. Spiller.” Spiller was a unanimous first-team All-American last year when he gained an ACC record 2,680 all-purpose yards, including 1,212 rushing and 503 receiving. He became the first player in league history with at least 1,000 rushing yards and 500 receiving yards in the same season. He added four kickoff returns for touchdowns and a punt return for a score in the return game, and was the only Division I player to score a touchdown in every game last year. He was named the Most Valuable Player of the Atlantic Coast Conference, the first Tiger to win that award in 22 years. Swinney’s answer is direct. “You can’t replace C.J. Spiller, he was a once in a lifetime player who did so many things for our team. It will take three or four players to do what he did last year for us.” While Swinney will miss Spiller, whom he personally recruited to Clemson from Lake Butler, FL in 2006, Swinney feels he does have those three or four players needed to provide the yardage, points and leadership Spiller recorded at an unprecedented rate in 2009.“ We have outstanding running backs in Andre Ellington and Jamie Harper. They give you a good one-two punch as far as their different styles of running. Both of those backs can catch the ball out of the backfield, and we have capable return men. We just don’t have one player who can do all the things C.J. did.” The stats back up Swinney’s optimism to some degree. Ellington and Harper combined for 909 yards in 148 carries last year, an average of 6.2 yards per rush, ahead of Spiller’s 5.6 average per carry. Another reason for optimism about the 2010 Tigers on offense is the offensive line. The Tigers lose an AllAmerican guard in team leader Thomas Austin, who led the team in knockdown blocks last year and had over 300 for his career, but Clemson does return four starters on the offensive line. The experience of the offensive line has been the most direct indicator of success for Clemson teams the last 40 years. Since 1965 when college football went to a two-platoon system, Clemson has won an average of nine games per year when it returns at least four offensive line starters from the previous year. You only have to go back to the 2009 season to see that stat at work. Clemson returned four offensive line starters last year, won nine games and finished in the AP top 25. Leading the offensive line is All-America candidate Chris Hairston, a 6-7, 325-pound tackle who will be in his third year as a starter in 2010. Joining him as returning starters are sophomore center Dalton Freeman, junior tackle Landon Walker, and junior guard Antoine McClain.

Those men provided a solid wall of protection for Clemson’s quarterback in 2010. As of our publication deadline, it was not known whether or not Kyle Parker would return as Clemson’s starting quarterback. Parker tied for the national lead in victories by a freshman starting quarterback last year with nine and threw for 20 touchdown passes, fourth most in Clemson history. A first-round draft choice of the Colorado Rockies in June, Parker became the first athlete in Division I sports history to threw 20 touchdown passes and hit 20 home runs in the same academic year. He hit exactly 20 roundtrippers and hit .344 in helping the Tigers to a Final Four finish at the College World Series. So, Parker was a starter for two top 25 teams that won Atlantic Division Championships last year. He was to make a decision as his future as a baseball player in late July. If he does not return the quarterback position will be held by red-shirt freshman Tajh Boyd or senior Mike Wade. Neither of the two has thrown a pass in a college game. The wide receiver area does not have a returning player who had as many as 15 receptions last year, but that is not a major concern for Swinney, who coached that position from 2003-08 under Tommy Bowden before he became Clemson’s head coach. Clemson must replace Jacoby Ford, who had 56 catches and was the fastest player in college football last year. “We have good receivers,” said Swinney. “When we get on the field in the fall, someone will emerge as ‘the guy’. We were in this position in 2004 and Airese Currie led the ACC in receptions. We were in this position going into the 2005 season and Chansi Stuckey made All-ACC and Curtis Baham stepped up and had a great season. Then Aaron Kelly, Tyler Grisham and Jacoby Ford did the same the following year. It is exciting to see new guys emerge.” The Clemson defense also has some holes to fill. Chris Chancellor and Crezdon Butler started each of the last 40 games together at cornerback. Ricky Sapp was a four-year player who finished his career with 41 tackles for loss and 15 sacks. And linebacker Kavell Conner, who was drafted by the Indianapolis Colts, was the top tackler each of the last two years and might be regarded as the most underrated defensive player at Clemson in the last decade. But the Tigers do have three returning players who are listed as preseason candidates for the Bronko Nagurski Defensive Player of the Year Award. One is returning firstteam All-America safety DeAndre McDaniel, who led the ACC in interceptions last year with eight, tying a Clemson record. Like Spiller before him, he rejected an opportunity to turn professional and will return for his senior year. “DeAndre McDaniel is one of the top defensive players in the nation,” said Swinney. “What he did last year in his first year as a safety was extraordinary. But, he has another level and he made a great decision coming back for his senior year. He will be the leader of the defense.” The two other Nagurski candidates are defensive end Da’Quan Bowers and defensive tackle Jarvis Jenkins. Jenkins is a run-stopper and Bowers a quarterback pursuer who were big reasons Clemson ranked in the top 25 in seven different defensive categories last year. The returning linebackers include Brandon Maye, who had 103 tackles last year, third on the team. But, he is the only returning starter at the second line of defense. Kevin Alexander, who also saw time at defensive end, has graduated after a solid senior year that saw him rack up 50 stops. “I was pleased with the performance of the defense last season. They were more aggressive and you could see that in our sack totals (36, second in the ACC after getting just 14 the previous year) and turnovers forced (30, ranked 15th in the nation).” The Tigers were an overall tougher team in 2009 and that is something that Swinney hopes will carry over into 2010 and beyond. “That was one of our goals going into last year and that will be a goal each year. We saw that at the end of the Kentucky game. We controlled the line of scrimmage in the fourth quarter and finished the game by

Dwayne Allen

controlling the ball for the last 5:37. That was the way to finish the season. That epitomized toughness. “But that is something you want to develop every year. We always aspire to be a smarter team, be a close team and be a tough team. Those are goals we look to achieve every year. “It all goes back to a daily focus, a daily focus in practice from the start of Spring practice, into the preseason and into the season. That all leads to focus on game day and a consistent execution at a high level.” Offense (7 Returning Starters, 23 Returning Lettermen) Balance was the watchword for the Clemson offense in 2009. The Tigers rushed for 2,385 yards and passed for 2,688 yards, just the third Clemson offense in history with at least 2,300 yards of each in the same season. That will be a key to success for Clemson in 2010 as well. “We always want to keep the opposing defense uncomfortable and you do that with balance,” said Swinney. “We had that last year. We had 24 rushing touchdowns and 23 passing touchdowns. I feel we can do that again in 2010.” If Parker returns, Clemson will have an experienced starter. In 2009, he completed 205 of 369 passes for 2,526 yards and 20 touchdowns against 12 interceptions. Those stats were Clemson freshman records in all categories, breaking marks previously held by Charlie Whitehurst, who could be the starting quarterback with the Seattle Seahawks this year. The yardage total was the fifth best in ACC history by a freshman and his total offense figure was fourth best. Parker started all 14 games last year and led the Tigers to a 9-5 record, a #24 final ranking and the Atlantic Division championship of the ACC. Only Southern California quarterback Matt Barkley also led his team to nine wins and a top 25 final ranking as a freshman in 2009. Boyd was a highly regarded athlete from Virginia who sat out last year and was ranked among the top 60 players in the nation by ESPN.com coming out of high school. He has a strong arm and impressed Clemson coaches during his work with the scout team last year. All-around athlete Mike Wade will also be in the mix at quarterback. He also serves as the holder on all placekicks and is a coverage player on the punt and kickoff teams and will see some time at safety on defense. He played nearly 250 special teams plays last year. The running back position will be led by red-shirt sophomore Andre Ellington and junior Jamie Harper. Ellington is the top returning rusher from last year with 491 yards in 68 carries, an average of 7.22 yards per carry. That average was third best in Clemson history and just below the 7.27 average Spiller had his freshman year. ClemsonTigers.com

2010 Preview Jarvis Jenkins

“At times last year when I turned on the video after a game I had to do a double take and make sure it was #23 and not #28,” said Swinney. “He is a very disciplined runner who follows his assignments very well. He can also catch the ball out of the backfield.” Harper had 418 yards rushing in 80 carries and scored four touchdowns last year. He averaged 5.2 yards per carry and showed his speed on a 69-yard touchdown run at NC State, the longest run of the season by a Clemson running back. “Jamie was our top rusher in the bowl win over Kentucky. He made some runs on the last drive that showed his toughness.” Roderick McDowell, a 5-9 running back from Sumter, SC, will be active in 2010 after red-shirting the 2009 season. He reminds many of Ellington in his running style. Each of Clemson’s top three receivers from last year have graduated. Ford led the way a year ago with 56 catches for 779 yards and six scores and finished his career in the top 10 in Clemson history in catches, reception yards, all-purpose yards and reception touchdowns. Firstteam All-ACC Tight end Michael Palmer had 43 catches for 507 yards, school records for the position. Spiller was third with 36 catches for 503 yards. That means there will be openings at the receiver position for 2010. Senior Xavier Dye is the leading returning pass catcher with 14 receptions for 236 yards and three scores, and is the only returning starter at the position. He actually caught one touchdown pass from Parker, one from Spiller and one from Ford in 2009. His top game was against Florida State when he caught three passes for 68 yards, including a 43-yard touchdown from Parker. Terrence Ashe looks to move into the starting lineup. Originally a walk-on, the senior had 11 catches for 124 yards last season and has 21 career catches. He is also regarded as one of the top blockers among the Tigers pass catchers. Marquan Jones caught nine passes for 176 yards in 2009 and his 19.6 average was the best on the team. Jaron Brown, Brandon Clear and Brandon Ford are returning lettermen who caught passes last season and will be factors in 2010. Bryce McNeal is a red-shirt freshman who will also have every chance to see significant playing time this year. Incoming freshman DeAndre Hopkins will also have a chance to make a big contribution at the wide receiver position. The tight end position was never more involved in the Clemson offense than it was in 2009 and that should be the plan for the offense coordinated by Billy Napier going forward. Dwayne Allen is the top candidate to lead the tight end position. He is actually a returning starter from last year when he made six starts and appeared in all 14 games. He had 10 catches for 108 yards and three touchdowns. The touchdown total tied a Clemson freshman record for a tight end.

Chad Diehl is one of the most valuable players on the Clemson offense. You won’t find his name prominent in the rushing or receiving stats, but his lead blocking from the fullback and tight end positions had a lot to do with Clemson’s improvement in the rushing attack from 89th in the nation in 2008 to 40th in 2009. The leader of the offensive line is Chris Hairston, who will be in his third year as starting left tackle. He has started 23 of the 27 games over the last two years and was named second-team All-ACC as a junior. Clemson was 9-3 last year when he was in the starting lineup and 0-2 when he was out due to injury. Hairston was at his best in Clemson’s 40-37 overtime victory against Miami when he had a season high 85 percent grade and seven knockdown blocks. He finished the year with 46 knockdown blocks and has 106 for his career. Landon Walker joins Hairston as returning two-year starters at tackle. The son of a former Clemson player, Walker started 12 games last year and has 22 starts over the last two years. He had 33 knockdown blocks last year, including five against TCU when he held TCU first team AllAmerican Jerry Hughes without a sack and limited him to just two tackles. He also graded 82 percent in the win over Miami. Dalton Freeman is the returning starter at center. The native of Pelion, SC started the last nine games of the season and played 542 snaps in 13 games. The first-team Freshman All-American’s insertion into the starting lineup paralleled Clemson’s offensive resurgence at midseason. The first game he started was against Wake Forest, the school his father had played for. Clemson won that game 38-3 and went on a six-game winning streak that led to the Atlantic Division ACC title. Junior Antoine McClain is the fourth returning starter on the 2010 offensive line. The native of Alabama started all 14 games last year and had 68 knockdown blocks, second best on the team. He had 12.5 knockdowns against Georgia Tech in the regular season game and 10 more in the ACC title game against the Yellow Jackets, helping the Tigers to at least 27 points in both games. In many ways, Clemson really has five returning starters in 2010. Mason Cloy started five games last year at center and has 17 starts in his career. But, he suffered a broken leg in the ACC Championship game and missed the bowl game. He should be healthy when practice starts in August. Cloy was a freshman All-American in 2008. Swinney has four other returning lettermen offensive linemen. The list is led by David Smith, who has experience at both guard and tackle and he will see playing time at both positions this spring. The junior has played in 19 games over the last two years and has three starts. Wilson Norris is a reserve guard who has played 15 games over the last two years, while Matt Sanders lettered at guard last year after playing six games as a freshman. Ben Ramsey is a veteran reserve center who has played in 15 games over the last three seasons. Sanders will also see some time at center this year. Red-shirt freshman Brandon Thomas will also be a factor on the offensive line in 2010 at tackle. Kalon Davis is a first-year freshman who entered in January.

third in the nation in interceptions with eight last year, tied for the most in school history. He had 102 tackles to rank fourth on the team and was the only player in college football last year with at least eight interceptions and 100 tackles. McDaniel was at his best in Clemson’s thrilling win at Miami (FL) when he had two interceptions, including one that he returned for a touchdown in the Tigers 40-37 overtime victory over the number-eight ranked Hurricanes. He was named National Defensive Back of the Week by the Bednarik Award Committee for that performance. Joining McDaniel in the starting secondary will be Marcus Gilchrist. The senior had 107 tackles as a starting safety last year, second best on the team and most among returning Tigers in 2010. He had four double figure tackle games, including 10 against TCU, who scored a season low 14 points against Clemson’s defense. Gilchrist will move to a cornerback position this fall, an example of his all-around abilities. He has played cornerback previously in his career and with the play of freshman Rashard Hall, allows defensive coordinator Kevin Steele to move Gilchrist. Hall had six interceptions and 63 tackles at a safety position last year. He started seven of the 14 games when he was named a first-team Freshman All-American. Hall had a streak of four straight games with an interception last year, tied for the longest streak in Clemson history. Clemson lost perhaps its top cornerback duo in 20 years when Chris Chancellor and Crezdon Butler graduated after last year. They combined for 20 career interceptions and 85 passes defensed over the last four years. It was not a coincidence that Clemson ranked in the top 20 in the nation in pass defense each of the last four years. The leading candidate to join Gilchrist as a starting cornerback would appear to be senior Byron Maxwell, one of the top tacklers on the Clemson team. Maxwell had 36 stops last year and added a pair of interceptions as a reserve cornerback. He was also the top special teams tackler on the team with 15. Other returning lettermen at the cornerback position are Coty Sensabaugh, who had 14 tackles and an interception, and Xavier Brewer, who had 15 stops in 2009. Spencer Adams, also an All-America hurdler on the Clemson track team, will be a factor at cornerback. Other candidates for playing time at safety are Carlton Lewis, who had six stops in nine games last year, Jonathan Meeks, who had six tackles and an interception, and twotime letterman Kantrell Brown. Jarvis Jenkins and Brandon Thompson return as starters on the interior defensive line. They are in their third season working together. Jenkins was the top tackler among Clemson defensive linemen last year with 69 stops,

DeAndre McDaniel

Defense (6 returning Starters, 23 returning lettermen) On paper, the strength of the Clemson defense should be on the front four and in the secondary. The Tigers return three of four starters on the defensive line, two starters in the secondary plus the return of a Freshman All-American, and one starter at linebacker. The leader of the defense will be safety DeAndre McDaniel, who had perhaps the best all-around season by a Clemson defensive back since College Football Hall of Fame safety Terry Kinard patrolled the secondary in 1982. McDaniel was a first-team All-American by the Football Writers Association and a second team selection by five other services as a junior. He is a top candidate for the 2010 Jim Thorpe Award. The native of Tallahassee, FL led the ACC and ranked

2010 Clemson Football

2010 Preview • Outlook including 11 tackles for loss and seven quarterback pressures. Thompson is a real run stopper and had 50 tackles last year in his 13 games as a starter. Clemson has great depth at the defensive tackle positions. Miguel Chavis is actually a co-starter along with Thompson at nose guard after an outstanding spring practice performance. Chavis had 28 tackles and four quarterback pressures last year. Rennie Moore is another experienced tackle who was productive last year. He had 22 tackles, including 5.5 tackles for loss when he played in 13 games. Tyler Shatley is a red-shirt freshman tackle and Josh Watson is a first-year freshman who enrolled at Clemson in January. Da’Quan Bowers is a returning starter at defensive end. The top-rated player in the nation out of high school by ESPN.com, Bowers has had some injury problems his first two years. He had 58 tackles in 2009 even though he missed two games completely and played sparingly in three others due to injury. Still he had 11 tackles for loss and three sacks to go with 12 quarterback pressures. Malliciah Goodman and Andre Branch are two more talented defensive ends who will be key to Clemson’s point prevention unit. Goodman was a freshman All-ACC selection by Rivals.com and had 31 tackles and five tackles for loss as a first-year freshman in 2009. Branch might have been the most improved player on the Clemson defense as he had 46 tackles, including eight tackles for loss and a pair of sacks. Brandon Maye is the most experienced of the Clemson linebacker corps. He had 103 tackles as a sophomore to rank third on the Clemson team. He had seven tackles for loss and three sacks to go with 15 quarterback pressures. Maye also made first-team All- Academic All-ACC in 2009, his sophomore year. He will see time as a weakside and middle linebacker. Scotty Cooper is a three-year returning letterman at a

Richard Jackson

linebacker position and will be a candidate for a starting linebacker position. Cooper has starting experience over the last three years and is a veteran of 37 games and six starts. He had 16 tackles last season. Jonathan Willard and Corico Hawkins are two young linebackers who have been productive in their limited playing time so far. Hawkins had 19 tackles last season, including eight in the win over Coastal Carolina in just 18 snaps and he is listed as the starter at middle linebacker after spring practice. He also had six tackles in the bowl win over Kentucky when Maye was injured. Willard had 10 tackles, including three tackles for loss in his 32 snaps on defense last year and he is listed as a co-starter at weakside linebacker. The surprise of the spring practice session was Quandon Christian, who entered spring practice third on the depth chart and left those 15 practices first team at strongside linebacker. Daniel Andrews is a two-year letter winner with experience at linebacker as well.

Special Teams Clemson returns its starting punter, starting kicker, starting snapper and starting holder. But, Swinney says the special teams might be the area on the team where he has the most questions. “We need to be more consistent in the kicking game in 2009, that is something we will examine very closely in the Spring and the preseason practices.” Richard Jackson made 20-31 field goals last year, including eight that were made from at least 40 yards out. He made 6-6 field goals in the win over Boston College to win the Leather Helmet Award as the game’s most valuable player. He was the only player in the nation to make six field goals in a game in 2009. He made three field goals of at least 50 yards, a first in Clemson history in one season. Matt Skinner returns as the starting snapper. The sophomore from Jacksonville, FL handled every snap in 2009. Mike Wade returns as the holder. Spencer Benton handled the kickoffs last year and did a solid job. Opponents’ average start was just their own 24-yard-line. Dawson Zimmerman is the returning starter at punter. Zimmerman had a 39.1 average on 55 punts last year and had 19 punts inside the 20. He had a solid individual net figure of 36 yards per punt. Clemson had one of the most dynamic return games in the nation last year thanks to the performance of Spiller and Ford who had two of the top 40 times at the NFL Combine last February. The Tigers ranked in the top 10 in the nation in kickoff returns and top 20 in punt returns and Clemson had an average starting field position advantage of 13 yards in 2009 after kickoffs. Clemson does have a couple of returning players who have experience in the return game. Andre Ellington and Marcus Gilchrist are two veteran players will experience in the return game, but a freshman could also move into that area.

2010 Clemson Schedule Clemson will face seven 2009 bowl teams, including four on the road on its 2010 football schedule. The schedule includes Clemson’s first regular season game with Auburn since 1971 and the Tigers first trip to North Carolina since 2002. All 12 games on the schedule will be played on Saturdays. It will be the first time since 2001 that Clemson has played all of its games on Saturdays. All game times will be announced at a later date. All special home game designations will be announced at a later date. Clemson opens the schedule with consecutive nonconference home games against North Texas and Presbyterian. It will be Clemson’s first game with North Texas and the first game against Presbyterian since 1957. The two schools opened the season on an annual basis from 1930 to 1957 when Hall of Fame coaches Jess Neely and Frank Howard served as Clemson’s head coach. The Tigers will play the Tigers on September 18 when Clemson travels to Auburn. It is the first of a two-game home-and-home series between the two schools. Auburn will play at Clemson in 2011. The last time the two teams met the contest went to overtime in the 2007 Chick-fil-A Bowl. Auburn won that game 23-20 in the Georgia Dome. Auburn is coached by former Clemson graduate assistant Gene Chizik. Clemson will have an open date on September 25, then play eight consecutive conference games between October 2 and November 20. It is the first time Clemson has played eight consecutive ACC games since the 2003 season, but the first time in school history Clemson has played eight ACC games over an eight-week period. Clemson opens its ACC schedule on October 2 when Miami (FL) comes to Clemson. It is the latest start to the ACC schedule for Clemson since 1982 when Clemson played its first league game on October 9 at Virginia. Clemson and Miami have met as ACC foes three times and all three have been decided in overtime, including Clem-

years. The 2008 win in Boston was Dabo Swinney’s first victory as Clemson head coach. Clemson will play its final ACC home game against NC State on November 6. Clemson has beaten NC State six consecutive years, Clemson’s longest winning streak in history over the Wolfpack. The Tigers must play their last two ACC games on the road, at Florida State on November 13, then at Wake Forest on November 20. Clemson has beaten the Seminoles five of the last seven years, but just once at Tallahassee since 1989. The Tigers have won eight of the last 11 games over Wake Forest, but the Demon Deacons have won three of the last four in Winston-Salem. Clemson concludes the regular season on November 27, the Saturday after Thanksgiving, when South Carolina travels to Clemson. Clemson has won six of the last eight over the Gamecocks, but South Carolina won last year’s meeting in Columbia. Clemson has won five of the last six in the series played at Clemson.

son’s 40-37 victory in Miami last year. In fact the road team has won each of the last three meetings in at least one overtime. Clemson will have its first ACC road game at North Carolina on October 9. It will be just the second meeting between the two schools since 2003 and Clemson’s first trip to Chapel Hill since 2002. Clemson has won each of the last three meetings and five of the last six dating to 1999. Clemson has a two-game home stand on October 16 and October 23 against the only two ACC teams to beat the Tigers last year. Maryland will be the foe at Death Valley on October 16 and Georgia Tech will come to Clemson on October 23. The Yellow Jackets beat Clemson twice last year, 30-27 in the regular season in Atlanta and 3934 in the ACC Championship game in Tampa. It will be the fourth game against Georgia Tech within the first 35 games of Dabo Swinney’s Clemson coaching career. The Tigers will travel to Boston College on October 30 for the annual battle for the O’Rourke-McFadden Trophy. Clemson has defeated the Eagles each of the last two

Head Coach Dabo Swinney

Dabo Swinney Head Coach 8th Season at Clemson Overall 2nd Full Season at Clemson as Head Coach Alabama ‘93 At age 40, Dabo Swinney is the youngest head coach in the ACC and one of the youngest in the country, but he handled his first full season as Clemson’s head coach like an old veteran. During the 2009 season, 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 second in the voting for ACC Coach-of-the-Year 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) that Clemson played four games against teams ranked in the top 15 of the AP poll. Clemson was 1-3 in those games, but the three losses were by a combined 12 points (three points to Georgia

Tech, four points to TCU, and five points to Georgia Tech in the ACC Championship game). The Tigers’ three FBS nonconference opponents had a combined record of 29-10 in 2009. Clemson gave #6 TCU one of its stiffest tests in a 14-10 Horned Frog victory on September 26. Swinney’s first season included a six-game winning streak at midseason, a streak that saw the Tigers score at least 34 points in every game, a first in school history. During that stretch, the Tigers defeated #8 Miami (FL) on the road. The 40-37 overtime victory tied for the highestranked team Clemson has defeated on the road in school history. That was the second of six straight wins, the longest winning streak for the Clemson program in four years. The streak also included a 40-24 nationally-televised win over Florida State and Bobby Bowden, the Hall of Fame coach who is second in victories in FBS history. The winning streak brought Clemson to a #15 national ranking in the AP poll after the Atlantic Division clinching victory over Virginia on November 21. The Tigers had success on offense, defense, and special teams during the 2009 season. The Tigers were 28th

in the nation and third in the ACC in scoring offense (31.1), while the defense was 20th in total defense (314.3) and seventh in pass defense (162.8). Clemson was in a tie for fifth in the country in interceptions (21) as well. Clemson added a school-record six kick returns for touchdowns in 2009, four on kickoff returns and two on punt returns. The main reason Clemson was so outstanding on special teams was the play of college football’s most dynamic player, C.J. Spiller. The Tiger running back was named MVP of the ACC in 2009 and was a consensus first-team AllAmerican. He had five kick returns for touchdowns during the 2009 season, an all-time Clemson record, and established the NCAA record for kickoff returns for touchdowns in a career with seven. He was also the only FBS player to score at least one touchdown in every game in 2009. Overall, the Tigers held down three positions on the All-ACC First-Team and five spots on the second team.

Only Virginia Tech had more representatives. Swinney became Clemson’s interim head coach on October 13, 2008 when Tommy Bowden stepped down after guiding the program for nearly 10 seasons. Then on December 1, 2008, the “interim” tag was removed, as he took over on a full-time basis as the Tigers’ 25th head coach. He had been Clemson’s assistant head coach for two years and had been in charge of the wide receivers since 2003. Swinney, who had never been a head coach prior to the 2008 season, led Clemson to a 4-3 record to close 2008. That mark included four victories in the last five regularseason games, with the only loss at #24 Florida State. That 4-1 record to end the regular season tied for the best mark in the ACC for that time period. Four of his six regularseason opponents were later bowl participants. His 4-3 record included a 2-1 road record, wins over Boston College and Virginia. Swinney hit the ground running in his first week as interim head coach, as he prepared for a 5-1 Georgia Tech team. He had to re-organize his staff, and regroup his team and Clemson Nation in just five days. While the Tigers lost by four points, he accomplished many goals in that first week through his outstanding leadership. One of the most impressive demonstrations of unity came during the team’s “Tiger Walk.” Prior to the game against the Yellow Jackets, Swinney decided to have his team depart buses outside the Lot 5 parking lot near the WestZone at Memorial Stadium and experience the gameday atmosphere. Dressed in jackets and ties, the team was embraced by thousands of Tiger fans who stood 10 deep for the 200-yard march to the stadium. It was the centerpiece of his “All In” theme in his first week as head coach. It is a tradition that will continue in the future. In his second week as head coach, an off-week, he invited the

Clemson student body to a practice, and nearly 1,000 students showed up. He spoke to the group and actually allowed some students to participate during practice, as they were selected to attempt a field goal, punt against a live rush, and field a punt. He also took the entire team to the Greenville Children’s Hospital for a visit with young men and women fighting cancer. He has continued his community involvement through his foundation. His foundation made the first contribution to the cancer fund established for Boston College linebacker Mark Herzlich. Many schools followed his lead the remainder of the season. The Liberty Mutual Coach-of-the-Year award evaluates coaching performances in terms of coaching excellence, sportsmanship, integrity, academic excellence, and community commitment. It is easy to see why Swinney was a national finalist for that award in his first full season as head coach. Swinney’s first victory as a head coach took place in his first-ever road game on November 1. Despite committing four turnovers and trailing in the fourth quarter, his troops rallied for a 27-21 win, giving Clemson its first win over the Eagles since 1958. It also came against the eventual ACC Atlantic Division champion. The Tigers suffered a 41-27 defeat at #24 Florida State a week later, but they rebounded to trounce Duke 31-7 at Memorial Stadium by outgaining the Blue Devils 466-168 under Swinney, who also served as offensive coordinator during the second half of 2008. Clemson showed its road prowess the following weekend by claiming a 13-3 victory at Virginia and veteran Cavaliers Head Coach Al Groh. Rival South Carolina awaited for the final regularseason game. Against one of the SEC’s best defenses, the Tigers used a balanced attack (184 rushing yards, 199 passing yards) to top the Gamecocks 31-14 at Memorial Stadium. Clemson also had four interceptions against Steve Spurrier’s offense and held it to just 22-47 passing for 212 yards. The following week, the Tigers accepted an invitation to play in the Gator Bowl against Nebraska, a game in which the Cornhuskers were victorious by a score of 26-21. The 1993 Alabama graduate joined the Clemson staff prior to the 2003 season. In his seven years, the Tigers have finished in the top 25 of the final polls four times and totaled 10 wins over top-25 teams, including victories over

Head Coach Dabo Swinney

Florida State (4), Miami (FL) (2), and Tennessee (1), during his tenure in Tigertown. Swinney coached his wide receiver position to a level of consistency that had not been seen previously at Clemson. He had a wideout finish first or second in the ACC in catches five of the last six years. In his first year, he had three of the top-10 receivers in the ACC, a first in Tiger history. He coached a First-Team All-ACC wideout every year from 2004-07 (three different players), also an unprecedented feat at Clemson. In 2004 and 2005, he coached the ACC reception champion (Airese Currie (2004), Chansi Stuckey (2005)). It was the first time Clemson had two different players lead the ACC in receptions in consecutive years. In 2007, Aaron 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, he coached Kelly, a First-Team All-ACC selection who led the league in receiving yards per game and touchdown catches (11). He also finished second in receptions per game with a school-record 88 catches, tied for the second-highest total in ACC history. His 11 touchdown catches were a Tiger record as well. Kelly is Clemson’s and the ACC’s career reception leader with 232 catches. He also owns the school touchdown reception record with 20. The previous record of 18 was held by Glenn Smith, who established the record in 1951. The Alabama native has a reputation as one of the top recruiters in the nation. In 2006, he was listed as the #5 recruiter in the nation by Rivals.com. It marked the second straight year that he was lauded by the website as a top-25 national recruiter. He signed 38 players in his five recruiting seasons 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 top25 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 coach 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 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. Since 1997, he has had 17 former players either drafted or sign free-agent contracts with NFL teams. The list includes Currie, Derrick Hamilton, Kevin Youngblood, Stuckey, and Milons, an All-American at Alabama.

During his time at Alabama, Swinney was a part of six teams with at least 10 wins, five top-10 finishes, one national title (1992), three SEC championships (1989,92,99), and five SEC Western Division titles (1992,93,94,96,99) as a player and coach. He has coached the #2 receiver at Alabama (Milons) along with the #1 (Kelly) and #2 (Hamilton) receivers in Tiger history. 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 (11), Drew (9), and Clay (6).

James F. Barker President Clemson ‘70

Jim Barker has worn nearly every hat possible in his almost five decades as a member of the Clemson family – student, athlete, alumnus, teacher, dean, parent, fan and president. Of these varied roles, the most important was as a student. “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,” Barker has said. 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 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 38 to 22 among public universities in the 2010 US News guide to colleges, and has been recognized for value, affordability and return on investment by Kiplinger’s and Smart Money magazine. During the decade undergraduate applications soared, Ph.D. enrollment doubled, research awards topped $1.25 billion and more than 140 grants and contracts and 60 gifts of $1 million or more were received. Despite severe cuts in its permanent, basic state appropriations, Clemson protected its academic core and competed

successfully for the lion’s share of the state’s highest-achieving students, the Palmetto Fellows, and for tens of millions in state funding for endowed chairs and research infrastructure. Clemson attracts top students and faculty. Fifty percent of the 2009 freshman class graduated in the top 10% of their high school classes, and 31 Clemson faculty members received prestigious National Science Foundation CAREER awards during the decade. 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 highlights also include... ...a $45 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy, the largest in Clemson history, to fund a wind energy test facility at the Restoration Institute in North Charleston. This project puts South Carolina at the center of a growing U.S. offshore wind energy industry. ...two national summits on clean energy and creating jobs in the green economy, sponsored by the Restoration Institute and held in Greenville at CU-ICAR (Clemson University International Center for Automotive Research) ...a second place finish (behind Brown University) by Clemson undergraduate students in the national College Quiz Bowl.

...the awarding of Clemson’s first Ph.D. in automotive engineering. New partners at CU-ICAR include electric bus manufacturer Proterra, and Sage Automotive, a high-performance fabric manufacturer that was formerly Milliken’s automotive fabric division. ...the opening of Clemson at the Falls in downtown Greenville, which will house Clemson’s MBA and other programs of the College of Business and Behavioral Science to support South Carolina business with education for professionals, executives and entrepreneurs. ...groundbreaking on campus for the restoration, renovation and expansion of Lee Hall, and dedication of the expansion of Rhodes Hall. ...the announcement that construction will resume this year on the Academic Success Center and the Life Sciences building, two projects delayed by the budget crisis of 2009. Jim Barker is a leading voice in higher education for South Carolina and the nation. He served on the NCAA Division I Board of Directors for four years, three of which as Chair. He also delivered a keynote address at a symposium in Washington D.C. on Global Best Practices in science & technology parks sponsored by the U.S. National Academy of Sciences. 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, Tennessee, Barker received his bachelor of arts degree from Clemson in 1970 and his master of architecture & urban design degree in 1973 from Washington University in St. Louis, 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 runs and maintains the daily fitness regimen of a life-long athlete. He is widely acclaimed for his pen-and-ink drawings of campus buildings and has recently taken up watercolor painting. Jim Barker and his wife Marcia have two sons, Britt and Jacob, a daughter-in-law Rita Bolt Barker, and one grandchild. ClemsonTigers.com

Dr. Terry Don Phillips Athletic Director 9th Season at Clemson Arkansas ‘70

When Clemson’s baseball team reached the Final Four of the 2010 College World Series, it concluded one of the great all-around sports years in school history. In addition to a #4 final ranking in baseball, the Tigers ranked in the top 25 in the nation in football after a bowl victory against Kentucky, and won the Atlantic Division of the Atlantic Coast Conference for the first time. The men’s basketball team recorded a fourth straight 20-win season, including a victory over National Finalist Butler, and reached the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament for a record tying third straight year. Clemson was one of just eight schools nationally to go to a bowl game, the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament and the NCAA Baseball Tournament. It was the second straight year Clemson accomplished the “high profile sports triple.” Clemson joins Florida State, Minnesota and Texas as the only four schools to do it in consecutive years. Reaching a high level of success in the high profile sports is a credit to the administrative acumen of Clemson Athletic Director Dr. Terry Don Phillips. Now in his ninth year leading the Clemson program, Phillips has enhanced the Tigers program on many levels. In addition to the success of the high profile sports in 2009-10, the Clemson women’s track program won the ACC Championship in both indoor and outdoor track, a first for the program, and finished in the top 20 in the nation at both national meets. The rowing program had its second consecutive top 15 finish, and the volleyball team made its third consecutive NCAA appearance. Overall, seven different Clemson teams finished in the top 25 in the nation. In his eight years at Clemson, the program has had 46 teams finish the season in the top 25. Five different women’s sports have captured ACC championships during his tenure. Only Virginia has had a wider variety of women’s sports win league titles. One of the reasons for Clemson’s level of success as a total sports program has been his emphasis on improving facilities. On June 30, 2009, Clemson’s football staff moved into the West Endzone at Memorial Stadium. It was a day that brought a smile to everyone associated with the Clemson program, but especially Phillips, who had been working toward that day before he arrived on campus in 2002. Phillips’ vision for the West Endzone was to create a top-of-the-line facility for the football program, but at the same time have a positive effect on the total sports program. The facility at Memorial Stadium now creates more office space, new locker rooms, and training room and strength training facilities for the Olympic sports programs. Clemson recently completed a new boat house for the rowing program, one of the top facilities in the nation, added the new multi-million-dollar Chapman Grandstands at Doug Kingsmore Stadium and a new Clubhouse area at the Hoke Sloan Tennis Facility. Other improvements in the last three years have included a new practice facility for the Clemson golf program, and a new press box at the Riggs Field soccer stadium. Plans are in the works for the construction of the Penley Golf Building, a new ClemsonTigers.com

baseball locker room, and a significant enhancement to Riggs Field. Academically, 17 of the 19 programs were above the national average for public institutions in terms of APR scores. In the 2010 spring semester, over 50 percent of Clemson’s student-athletes were on the academic honor roll and seven of the 15 programs had team GPAs of at least 3.0 and the overall GPA was 2.92 for the semester, third highest on record. Phillips has been recognized for these accomplishments in recent years. He was named as one of the top100 Most Influential Sports Educators in America in 2008, a selection made by The Institute for International Sport at the University of Rhode Island. The institute’s objective involved a four-year process and resulted in a list that spans scholars, Olympians, coaches, and other industry leaders “who have creatively and effectively used sport in the very best way as a means to educate and shape positive values. Phillips’ athletic career and academic pursuits epitomize that desire. Believed to be the only Division I athletic director with both a doctorate and law degree, he uniquely blends the discipline and inspiration created on each side of campus. He has firmly put his imprint on the University and Tiger athletics by creating a balanced, positive environment for success that emphasizes academic integrity, student-athlete welfare, and competing at the highest levels with unequivocal NCAA compliance. Phillips was also recognized nationally for his performance at Clemson in June of 2006 when he was honored by NACDA (National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics) as the 2005-06 GeneralSports Turf Systems Athletic Director-of-the-Year for the Southeast Region of the FBS. He was one of just four FBS athletic directors honored at the annual convention in New Orleans, LA. Excellence in academics has been a constant on his resumé. He has an undergraduate degree from Arkansas (1970), a master’s degree from Virginia Tech (1974), a doctorate degree from Virginia Tech (1978), and a law degree from the University of Arkansas School of Law (1996). He is a member of the Arkansas Bar, the South Carolina Bar, American Bar Association, and Sports Lawyers Association. Phillips remains a classroom presence by teaching a sports law section in Clemson’s Accountancy & Legal Studies department. In addition, he is past chair of the NCAA Division I Infractions Appeals Committee. He has written on diverse areas, such as antitrust and the NCAA, student-athlete welfare, alternative dispute resolution, and Title IX. His doctoral dissertation on Title IX involved a historical review of the law and

was the first national study of Title IX implications on college athletic programs. This research spawned his intent and desire to study law. Prior to coming to Clemson, Phillips served as athletic director at Oklahoma State. Football was transformed from a perennial losing status to defeating Oklahoma during five of the eight years he was associated with Oklahoma State (1994-02). For this, he received the National Football Foundation Oklahoma Chapter Outstanding Contribution to Amateur Football Award in 2002. Additionally in 2006, he was named one of the top-25 most influential people in the history of Oklahoma State Athletics by GoPokes Magazine. When it came to success on the field and in the classroom, Oklahoma State’s programs were among the Big 12’s best. The achievements of the program included two national titles in men’s golf, a men’s basketball Final Four appearance, two trips to the College World Series, 13 Big 12 titles, and 11 individual National Champions along with 53 academic All-Americans. Before leading Oklahoma State, Phillips served as senior associate athletic director at Arkansas from 1988-94. Phillips has served as athletic director at Liberty (198081) and Louisiana-Lafayette (1983-88). He was an assistant athletic director at Missouri (1981-83) and began his administrative career in 1979 as an assistant athletic director at Florida. Phillips began his career in college athletics coaching football. He started as a graduate assistant at Arkansas in 1970 and 1971. He moved on to Virginia Tech as an assistant coach (1971-78) before joining the ranks of athletic administration. At Virginia Tech, he served on coaching staffs that included future Clemson Head Coaches Charley Pell and Danny Ford. Winning has been on Phillips’ resumé since his playing days at Arkansas. He lettered on three Frank Broyles teams (1966,68,69), where he and his brother Loyd, an Outland Trophy winner, were starting defensive tackles, the first brother combination to start together under Broyles. Arkansas had a 27-5 record in the three years, played in two Sugar Bowl games, and played in the memorable 1969 National Championship game against Texas. In June of 2010, it was announced that Phillips would be inducted into the University of Arkansas Hall of Honor. Phillips has two children, John Dennis and Sarah-Jane, and three stepchildren, Meagan, a senior at Clemson and proud member of Tiger Band, Marshall, and Madison. His wife Tricia is a graduate of the University of Missouri School of Journalism and earlier enjoyed a career in athletics and development. She is now active in the Clemson and Seneca communities.

Clemson University

NCAA Compliance This brief NCAA rules education is aimed at outlining basic recruiting rules to help potential Tiger studentsathletes and parents better understand the extensive process. Clemson University is committed to recruiting and conducting our athletic program with the highest level of integrity. If you have questions about NCAA rules, please contact Clemson’s compliance services at (864) 656-1580 or through our website at ClemsonTigers.com and click on compliance. Important NCAA Terms Academic Credentials - A prospect should check with his high school guidance office to see if he is taking classes that will meet NCAA eligibility standards. A prospect should do this early (prior to his sophomore year) and keep track of core courses. A prospect will need to take either the ACT or SAT for NCAA certification. Contact - NCAA rules define a contact as a face-to-face interaction with a prospect and/or his parents by a coach off Clemson’s campus. The NCAA sets a contact period for football prospects from late November through the end of January. That is the only time coaches can meet with a prospect away from the Clemson campus. Core Courses - Courses at a prospect’s high school that are considered college preparatory. The NCAA requires 16 core courses, including four in English, three in math, two in science, one additional from English, math, or science, two social sciences, and four additional courses. A high school prospect’s guidance counselor will have a list of the school’s core courses (48H), or visit the NCAA Eligibility Center’s website at NCAAEligibilityCenter.com for more information. Dead Period - Recruiting period when coaches may not have face-to-face contact with prospects on or off campus. Coaches may continue to telephone and write a prospect. Evaluation - In April and May of a prospect’s junior year, coaches will visit a prospect’s high school and review his athletic and academic credentials with his coach. In the fall, they may watch a prospect compete one time but will not have any contact. Home Visit - During the contact period, a senior prospect may invite college coaches to his home to meet his parents and to talk in detail about the football program and academic offerings at any college the prospect is considering.

college promises a prospect financial aid. A prospect signs a national letter of intent during his senior year. Once the prospect signs a national letter of intent, he cannot be recruited by any other institution, and it is a binding contract for the prospect’s first year in college at the school that provides the national letter of intent. The NLI signing period begins February 2, 2011 and ends April 1, 2011. • What is an official visit? A prospect is allowed to take a total of five official visits (one per institution), which are expense-paid. Before the official visit, the prospect must present his high school transcript, proof of an ACT, PACT, SAT, or PSAT test, and be registered with the NCAA Eligibility Center. Official visit invitations are extended by Clemson coaches only. Official visits may not be taken prior to the first day of classes during the prospect’s senior year of high school. • What is the NCAA Eligibility Center?

NCAA rules refer to them as “dead periods,” as coaches will not schedule to meet with a prospect during that time. • Can IPTAY members help recruit? No. NCAA rules are clear...only Clemson coaches can telephone, contact, and evaluate a prospect. Only college coaches can offer unofficial and official visits. • What is a National Letter of Intent (NLI)? It is a contract.

Vickery Hall Since its inception in 1991, the Student-Athlete Enrichment Programs have provided student-athletes a continued commitment to excellence. Our approach is to address the total student-athlete, and we are committed to coaching our student-athletes to success in the academic, personal growth, career, and community service arenas. As an original member of the NCAA CHAMPS/Life Skills Program, we provide opportunities and services to address the changing needs and skills of student-athletes during college and after graduation. This program was selected for the FBS Athletic Director’s Association “Program of Excellence” Award, a lifetime award recognizing CHAMPS/Life Skills excellence. Clemson’s commitment to provide its student-athletes with the best facilities is evident in many ways. From the soaring upper decks of Memorial Stadium and the beautiful WestZone, to the “New Littlejohn Coliseum,” to the state-ofthe-art strength training facility, young men and women from all of Clemson’s intercollegiate varsity sports have the best in facilities for both training and competition. The Student-Athlete Enrichment Programs are housed in Vickery Hall, located in the center of campus. The $3-million structure is as impressive aesthetically as other athletic facilities. It recently underwent $300,000 in renovations to further assist our student-athletes in the classroom. But the importance of Vickery Hall to our student-athletes is not found in the structure itself, but in the many programs that the building houses. Vickery Hall opened in the fall of 1991 and was the first facility in the country constructed solely to provide academic support to student-athletes. The two-story, 27,000 square-foot building is open all day and into the evening hours to accommodate the student-athletes’ extended schedules. Vickery Hall programs are dedicated to providing a holistic, educational experience by inspiring an environment of respect, integrity, and excellence. Through these services, Vickery Hall guides and encourages each individual to reach his or her full potential as a student, athlete, and citizen.

Academic Commitment Over 50 percent of Clemson’s student-athletes were on the academic honor roll for the spring and fall semesters in 2009-10. Seven of the 15 programs had team GPAs of at least 3.0 and the overall GPA was 2.92 for the semester in the spring, third-highest on record. There were 114 student-athletes on the Dean’s List, including 39 who posted a perfect 4.0 GPA for the semester. The programs that posted a 3.0 or better were the men’s soccer (3.16), women’s soccer (3.40), women’s swimming (3.28), men’s tennis (3.04), women’s tennis (3.04), women’s track & field (3.23) and rowing (3.13) teams. The number of sports programs with a 3.0 or better is a testament to the impact Vickery Hall and its staff has had on the academic performance of the Clemson program. Clemson had just five total programs with at least a 3.0 for the eight semesters prior to the facility opening in 1991. Now there are seven different programs in one semester.

The women’s track & field (18th), women’s tennis (11th) and rowing (15th) teams also ranked in the top 20 in the nation in their final meet or poll, in addition to achieving a team GPA of 3.0 or better. For the first time ever, all 15 programs had at least a 2.50 GPA in the same semester. The seven teams with at least a 3.0 GPA rank just one short of the record of eight different programs with a 3.0 in one semester. The Clemson football team posted a 2.56 GPA for the semester and 33 of the team members had at least a 3.0. It is the third straight semester the football team has had at least 30 members make the academic honor roll, the second-longest streak in the program’s history (four in a row in 1999-01). The list of academic honor roll members included first-team All-American DeAndre McDaniel, starting center Dalton Freeman, who made the Dean’s List, and first-team All-ACC tight end Michael Palmer, who had a 4.0 and graduated in May.

Seven members of the Clemson football team were named to the All-ACC Academic Team. The Tigers had the second-most selections to the team, trailing only Duke, who had 12. The seven selections were the most ever for the Clemson program. The ACC has selected an All-ACC Academic football team every year since 1954. The previous Clemson record was five selections in 1965, 1985, 2001, 2007 and 2008. Members of the 2009 Tiger team who were selected included Thomas Austin, Michael Palmer, Brandon Maye, Mason Cloy, Dawson Zimmerman, Rashard Hall and Dalton Freeman. Austin was also a third-team All-American and Palmer was first-team All-ACC.

Athletic Commitment Clemson was one of eight schools in the nation to be selected for a bowl game, the NCAA men’s basketball tournament, and the NCAA baseball tournament in 2009-10. The Tigers joined Florida State as the only schools in the nation to go to a bowl, the NCAA basketball tournament and the College World Series. This is the ninth year Clemson has been to a bowl game, the NCAA Basketball Tournament and the NCAA Baseball Tournament in the same academic year. Clemson became the first school in the ACC to capture a Divisional title in both baseball and football in the same athletic season. The football team defeated Virginia at home on Nov. 21 to clinch the Atlantic Division, while baseball completed a sweep of Florida State on May 22 to earn the title. The Tiger program collected ACC Championships in women’s indoor and outdoor track & field. Clemson closed the academic year with a rush as five

spring sports finished with top 20 national rankings. The rowing (15), golf (16), women’s tennis (11), women’s track & field (18) and baseball (4) teams, all finished in the top 20. It was just the second time in school history the program had five top-20 programs during the spring. The spring of 1992 was the only other year it has happened. Overall, Clemson had seven of its 19 sports programs ranked in the final top-25 of their respective polls. C.J. Spiller was a first-round draft choice of the Buffalo Bills in the 2010 NFL draft. He was the number-nine selection overall. In June, Kyle Parker was the #26 selection of the Colorado Rockies of the Major League baseball draft. Trevor Booker of the men’s basketball team followed suit as the #23 overall selection in the NBA Draft by the Washington Wizards. Clemson and Georgia Tech were the only two schools in the nation with a first-round draft choice in all three sports this year. The Tiger program also produced an NCAA Champion in 2010 when Patricia Mamona of the track & field team won the outdoor triple jump.

Career Development Commitment The Career Enhancement Program provides studentathletes an opportunity to develop and meet their career aspirations by participating in various seminars. We coordinate with the academic colleges, the Michelin Center, and through athletic contacts to provide student-athletes with job-searching skills and strategies, internships, practical experiences, and help in securing summer employment. They are designed to address specific career opportunities and provide related information about the student-athletes for each year. One major aspect of the Career Enhancement Program is to focus on building a resumé and interviewing techniques. This segment is designed to better prepare our

student-athletes for full-time employment. Another aspect utilizes the resources available to the University, alumni center, and athletic department. The staff works to establish a network of businesses, companies, and executives who will assist with providing internship and employment opportunities. The Student-Athlete Enrichment Programs have a career counselor on staff, so career advice is readily available in Vickery Hall. Unique to our program, the career counselor works closely with the Michelin Career Center and SAEP staff. This link between athletics and the Michelin Career Center provides student-athletes the most up-to-date information and resources in career development, and preparation for entrance into the job market upon graduation.

Personal Development Commitment One of the most important programs in Vickery Hall that helps student-athletes reach their full potential and successfully engage in their college experience is the Personal Growth & Development program. One key component is a first-semester freshman class designed to assist student-athletes in making a successful transition into the university along with athletic life. All first-semester freshmen attend a semester-long series of workshops, targeting the transitional issues of time management, organizational strategies, health and wellness issues, athletic performance, diversity issues, career orientation, and service training. Throughout the academic year, all student-athletes are required to attend large-group programs, which focus on pertinent social, health, and athletic issues.

Memorial Stadium

“Death Valley”

Clemson’s Memorial Stadium has been held in high esteem for many years. Whether it be players from the 1940s and 1950s, opposing players from the 1970s and 1980s, or even professional players in the 1990s, the ambiance of this special setting is what college football is all about. The storied edifice added to its legend when the first meeting of father and son head coaches (Bowden Bowl I) took place before a sellout crowd of more than 86,000 fans in 1999. Clemson has been in the top 20 in the nation in attendance 29 straight seasons. A crowd has exceeded 80,000 fans 55 times since the 1983 season. In 2009, Clemson was

2010 Clemson Football

17th in the nation in average home attendance. The facility’s mystique is derived from its many traditions, which date to its opening in 1942, the legendary games and players, and Clemson’s corresponding rate of success. Clemson has won 251 games in 68 years there and has won over 71 percent of the games (251-97-7). The stadium has definitely been good to the Tigers, but it was constructed against the advice of at least one coach. Just before Head Coach Jess Neely left for Rice after the 1939 season, he gave Clemson a message. “Don’t ever let them talk you into building a big stadium,”

he said. “Put about 10,000 seats behind the YMCA. That’s all you’ll ever need.” Instead of following Neely’s advice, however, Clemson officials decided to build the new stadium in a valley on the western part of campus. The place took some clearing, as there were many trees, but luckily there were no hedges. The crews went to work, clearing, cutting, pouring, and forming. Finally on September 19, 1942, Memorial Stadium opened with Clemson defeating Presbyterian College 32-13. Those 20,000 seats installed for Opening Day would soon grow.

Death Valley Quotes “Running down the Hill is still talked about everywhere I go. Players who played against Clemson when I was in college remember us running down the Hill and thinking we would gain some type of spirit. The adrenalin rush was unbelieveable for a Clemson player and quite a shock for the opponent.” Former Clemson All‑American Jerry Butler “I came here knowing it would be loud and Clemson would hit hard, but the noise was the biggest factor. I didn’t concentrate as well because of it.” Herschel Walker after Clemson’s 13‑3 win in 1981, his only regular-season loss “The Rock has strange powers. When you rub it and run down the Hill, the adrenaline flows. It’s the most emotional experience I’ve ever had.” Six‑time All‑Pro and Tiger All‑American Michael Dean Perry “When Clemson players rub that Rock and run down the Hill, it’s the most exciting 25 seconds in college football.” Brent Musburger, ABC Sports “There is no place louder or more picturesque than Death Valley. There, where Clemson folks see magic in a hill and a rock, orange gets more respect than anywhere this side of Gainesville, Florida.” Terence Moore, Atlanta Journal-Constitution “When you get to the bottom of the Hill, it’s like you’re in a hole and all around you are nothing but Clemson fans. It’s like the crowd is one big voice. You feel like little kings.” Former Clemson running back Rodney Blunt “Death Valley really lives up to its image. I was impressed with this stadium. When you put 80,000 people in there, it feels like they are on top of you. I’d hate to be whoever comes here to play Clemson.” San Francisco quarterback Steve Young

When the original part of the stadium was built in the early 1940s, much of the work was done by scholarship athletes, including many football players. The first staking out of the stadium was done by two members of the football team, A.N. Cameron and Hugh Webb. Webb returned to Clemson years later to be an architecture professor and Cameron went on to become a civil engineer in Louisiana. The building of the stadium did not proceed without problems. One day during the clearing of the land, a young player proudly announced that he was not allergic to poison oak.

ing one that Frank Howard put a chew of tobacco in each corner as the concrete poured. Howard said that the seeding of the grass caused a few problems. “About 40 people and I laid sod on the field,” he said. “After three weeks on July 15, we had only gotten halfway through. “I told them that it had taken us three weeks to get that far, and I would give them three more weeks’pay for however long it took. I also told them we would have 50 gallons of ice cream when we got through. After that, it took them three days to do the rest of the field. Then we sat down in the middle of the field and ate up that whole 50 gallons.” Howard said that on the day of the first game in the stadium,“the gates were hung at 1:00 and we played at 2:00.” But that would be all of the construction for a while. Then in 1958, 18,000 sideline seats were added, and in 1960, 5,658 west endzone seats were added in response to increasing attendance. With the large east endzone (“Green Grass” section), this expansion increased capacity to 53,000. Later, upper decks were added to each side of the stadium as crowds swelled - the first in 1978 and the second in 1983. It increased capacity to over 80,000, which makes it one of the nation’s largest on-campus stadiums. In 2006, the WestZone was added, an area that contains locker rooms and a luxury club level that holds 1,000 seats. The effect that inflation has had can be dramatically seen in the differences in stadium construction. The original part of Memorial Stadium was built at a cost of only $125,000, or $6.25 per seat. The stadium’s newest upper deck was finished in 1983 at a cost of $13.5 million, or $866 per seat. Through the years, Memorial Stadium has become known as “Death Valley.” It was tagged by the late Presbyterian College Coach Lonnie McMillan. After bringing his teams to Clemson for years and getting whipped, he said the place was like “Death Valley.” A few years later, the name stuck. In 1974, the playing surface was named Frank Howard Field for the legendary coach because of his long service and dedication to the University. Luckily, it wasn’t built behind the Y.

“Florida was loud in the swamp. But the loudest, not only the stadium, but the loudest place I have ever been around in my life was definitely Death Valley. I was yelling at the top of my lungs and I couldn’t even hear what I was saying. That place was unreal in how loud it was. I don’t think I will ever be in a louder place than Clemson.” Florida State quarterback Chris Rix, 2001 “I’m very thankful that we’re playing a day game at Clemson. The last time we were up there, it was extremely loud. I yelled the calls to my guard, but we couldn’t hear each other and we couldn’t hear each other in the huddle. When you have fans that can get that loud and distract offenses like that, that’s as important as having an All-American on your defense.” Florida State center David Castillo, 2005 “In 2005, Clemson’s Memorial Stadium, commonly known as ‘Death Valley,’ reached an astounding 126 decibels when a packed crowd of 79,135 fans observed Charles Bennett’s sack of quarterback Kyle Wright during the Tigers’ three-overtime heartbreaker against the Miami Hurricanes. This level easily surpassed the old record of 121 decibels set by Louisiana State fans in Tiger Stadium, which holds 92,400 fans.” RealFootball365.com “The game when I was a sophomore (in 2005) stands out for me. What an awesome place that is to play. I’ll never forget that atmosphere, and I know for a fact I’ve never seen so much orange in one place at one time. If you’ve never been there, going out on the field for the first time at Clemson is incredible.” Boston College quarterback Matt Ryan, 2007 “We go to a lot of great venues for college football, but this place doesn’t take a back seat to any place. In terms of the atmosphere, stadium, the noise, and the facilities, this is a special place on a Saturday night.” ESPN Commentator Todd Blackledge, 2009 “When you go down there, there are a couple of things you know. It’s going to be loud. It’s going to be challenging and it’s going to be fun. It’s a great atmosphere. There is real football fever and it is not just a Saturday afternoon activity. There is a real passion and real fever for Clemson football. I’ve always enjoyed going there because it is challenging.” Virginia Head Coach Al Groh, 2009

Tiger Traditions

Running Down the Hill

What has been described as, “the most exciting 25 seconds in college football from a color and pageantry standpoint,”actually started out as a matter-of-fact entrance, mainly because of necessity. The first 20,000 seats in Memorial Stadium were built and ready for use before the 1942 season, less than a year

2010 Clemson Football

after Pearl Harbor was bombed and the United States was drawn into World War II. The shortest entry into Memorial Stadium was a short walk down Williamson Road from Fike Fieldhouse’s dressing rooms to a gate at the top of the Hill, which is located behind the east endzone. There were no dressing facilities inside

the west endzone of Memorial Stadium...there was only a giant clock, where the hands turned, and a scoreboard that was operated manually by hand. The team would dress at Fike, walk down Williamson Road, come in the gate underneath where the scoreboard now stands, and jog down the Hill for its warmup exercises. There was no fanfare, no cannon shot fired, no Tiger Paw flag, no “Tiger Rag” played...just the team making its entrance and lining up to do the side-straddle hop. That is pretty much the way things went for the next 25 years. Either in 1964 or 1965, S.C. Jones, a member of the class of 1919, made a trip to California. He stopped at a spot in Death Valley, CA and picked up a white flint rock. He presented it to Head Coach Frank Howard as being from Death Valley, California to Death Valley, South Carolina. The rock laid on the floor in Howard’s office in Fike Fieldhouse for years. One day, he was cleaning up his office and told Gene Willimon, who was executive secretary of IPTAY, to “take this rock and throw it over the fence or out in the ditch...do something with it, but get it out of my office!” Willimon did not think that was the way a rock should be treated. After all, it had been brought 3,000 miles by a very sincere Clemson fan. By the mid-1960s, Memorial Stadium was living up to its moniker (“Death Valley”) because of the number of Tiger wins that had been recorded there. Actually, the name was first used by Lonnie McMillan, head coach at Presbyterian College during the 1940s. McMillan and the other Blue Hose coaches before him used to open each season by playing at Clemson. Seldom scoring (24 shutouts in 39 games), and with only three victories and four ties to show for it, his teams were getting “killed” by the Tigers regularly. In 1948, McMillan made the comment to the press that he was taking his team to play Clemson in “Death Valley.” An occasional reference to Memorial Stadium by that name could be heard for the next four years, but when Howard started calling it “Death Valley” in the 1950s, the name took off like wildfire. Clemson celebrated its 67th year in the “Valley” in 2008. But getting back to Howard’s Rock.

ClemsonTigers.com

Tiger Traditions The Rock was mounted on a pedestal at the top of the Hill on the east side of the stadium. It was unveiled September 24, 1966 when Clemson played Virginia. The Tigers were down 18 points with 17 minutes left and came back to win 40-35 on a 65-yard pass from Jimmy Addison to Jacky Jackson in the fourth quarter. That was quite a debut for the Rock. The team members started rubbing the Rock prior to running down the Hill on September 23, 1967, a day when Clemson defeated Wake Forest by a score of 23-6. Prior to running down the Hill that day, Howard told his players, “If you’re going to give me 110 percent, you can rub that Rock. If you’re not, keep your filthy hands off it.” Howard told of the incident during the following day on his television show, and the story became legend. When Hootie Ingram succeeded Howard as head coach prior to the 1970 campaign, Ingram decided that the team would make its final entrance on the field out of the dressing room in the west endzone. In all home games during the 1970 and 1971 seasons and the first four games of 1972 when the Tigers did not run down the Hill, their combined record was 6-9. The team decided it wanted to come down the Hill once prior to the South Carolina contest during the 1972 season. The result, in a cold, freezing rain, was a 7-6 victory when Jimmy Williamson knocked down a two-point conversion attempt, which preserved the narrow win. The Tigers have made the entrance for every home game since 1942, except for the seasons mentioned above (340 times entering the 2010 season). After final warmups, the team gathers back in its dressing room under the west endzone stands for its final game instructions. Approximately 10 minutes prior to kickoff, the team boards three buses, rides around behind the north

stands to the east endzone, and disembarks to the top of the Hill behind Howard’s Rock. At the appointed time, the cannon booms, and led by a giant Tiger Paw flag, the band forms two lines for the team to run between and strikes up “Tiger Rag”...the frenzy starts in all sincerity and usually lasts for three hours. It is a tradition that has inspired Clemson players for many years.

WestZone

The everyday activities for the football program moved to Memorial Stadium on July 1, 2009. Tiger coaches moved into new offices in the WestZone of Memorial Stadium that day. A month later, the team made the locker room in Death Valley its full-time facility. Additionally, a new equipment facility, athletic training facility, and strength training facility opened with all the modern conveniences of an NFL franchise’s facility. The new facility is 142,000 square feet, which adds over 50,000 square feet to previous facilities in the Jervey Athletic Center. It includes a two-floor strength training facility that is 14,000 square feet, among the largest dedicated solely for football in the nation.

“The motto for our program since I became head coach is ‘All-In’,” said Head Coach Dabo Swinney. “ This facility shows any Clemson football player, recruit, or supporter that our University is ‘All-In’ with this football program. The facility is among the best in the nation and allows our student-athletes to develop and become the best they can be.” The equipment room has been expanded to include, among other items, new offices and a new laundry room that encompasses approximately 6,000 square feet of space. The football staff offices and meeting rooms are composed of approximately 4,000 square feet of existing space and more than 18,000 square feet of new space.

The facility includes offices for the head coach, assistant coaches, and support staff along with position meeting rooms and a 150-seat auditorium with a sloped floor and theater seating. The training room, located on the north side of the home team’s locker room, is expanded to include a new hydrotherapy room, new offices, and examination rooms. The training room occupies about 6,200 square feet of space as well. The level-three concourse has been expanded with the addition of the football offices. This space, the roof of the new football offices, is utilized for gameday marketing activities and to provide fans additional space to gather

WestZone inside the stadium. Clemson is committed to building a model sports program - one that propels our university into achieving and maintaining national athletic rankings that rival our competitors. The WestZone project is a major step forward in building a total sports program. In order to be a consistent contender at the highest level of competition, Clemson must recruit the best studentathletes in the nation - student-athletes who can compete both academically and athletically. The nation’s best recruits are impressed by superior facilities, top coaches, and a strong sense of excitement along with school spirit. They desire an environment in which they will have a positive, nurturing experience. It is not a coincidence that the quality of Clemson’s recruiting classes has improved dramatically since the WestZone project began in 2004. Coaching is the most critical component of such an environment. An outstanding coach can sometimes transform meager resources into a good program, but the greatest success comes when top-quality coaching combined with top-quality facilities allows that coach to recruit successfully on a consistent and continuing basis. Former Clemson running back James Davis, the 2005 ACC Rookie-of-the-Year and now with the Cleveland Browns, stated that one of the biggest contributing factors in deciding on Clemson was the University’s commitment to upgrading facilities. “Does Clemson want to be a championship program?” asked Davis when he was considering Clemson. “The WestZone (initiative) showed me that it does!” Building success requires building for success. While the WestZone is located in Memorial Stadium, the

completed project will provide resources for Clemson’s total sports program, permitting all Tiger teams and athletes to compete with the nation’s best. Moving all football operations to the WestZone has opened up space in the Jervey and McFadden buildings for the other 18 Clemson sports to improve their facilities for recruiting, and have more office, training, conditioning, and sports medicine space. This will greatly enhance the overall performance, both on and off the field of competition, for all 19 sports. A look to Clemson’s history shows the importance in-

Joey Batson Director of Strength & Conditioning 14th Season at Clemson Newberry ‘85

Joey Batson is in his 25th year as a strength & conditioning coach at the collegiate level and 14th year as director of strength & conditioning at Clemson. He has served as a head strength & conditioning coach 21 of his 25 years of service. Batson was named master strength & conditioning coach by the Collegiate Strength & Conditioning Coaches Association (CSCCA) in May of 2009. This honor is the highest given in the strength & conditioning coaching profession. Batson was presented with a blue MSCC jacket on May 7, 2009. “This is an incredible honor for Joey,” said Dr. Chuck Stiggins, CSCCA executive director. “Being named a master strength & conditioning coach signifies a commitment to the student-athlete, a commitment to the Clemson athletic program, and a commitment to the strength & conditioning profession. We are honored to have Coach Batson as a member of our association and to have him join the ranks of the master strength & conditioning coaches. He is truly a model of an outstanding strength & conditioning professional.” Batson, who was named National Strength & Conditioning Coach-of-the-Year by FootballScoop.com in the fall of 2009, was familiar with the Tiger program before he started his career in a full-time capacity, having served as a graduate assistant in the strength & conditioning department (1985-88). In the course of his professional career, he has pioneered many training techniques in the strength, speed, and conditioning field. These training strategies referred to by Batson as “Not So Basic Strength Training” were picked up from powerlifting guru Louie Simmons in the mid 1990s. The collection of innovative techniques has led to impressive results by many of his athletes throughout his career. His competitive weight training experience began in 1987, when he placed fourth in San Jose, CA in The American Drug Free Powerlifting Association National Cham-

pionships and fifth the following year in Chicago, IL. From 1985-87, Batson achieved a top-20 ranking in the ADFPA’s 275-pound class and achieved the master & elite lifters classifications. Batson has had a strong impact on the Clemson program since he became director in 1997. He has had much to do with the success of the football program, helping the Tigers to 11 bowl games and five top-25 final rankings. While at Clemson, he has worked for three head football coaches and has had a tremendous impact throughout the state at many notable high school programs. An example of his respect level in the profession is demonstrated by the number of former assistants who are now assistants and/or directors at other universities, including conferences such as the ACC and SEC along with several high-profile high school programs in the state. Prior to his return to Clemson, Batson served as the first full-time director of strength training at Furman. In 1996, he was named Strength & Conditioning Professional-of-the-Year in the Southern Conference by the National Strength & Conditioning Coaches Association after the Paladins advanced to the second round of the Division I-AA playoffs. In addition to his four years at Furman, he also worked as the first full-time director of strength & conditioning at Bowling Green, and served a year at South Carolina as assistant director of strength & conditioning. Not only does Batson bring professional experience to

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

Quotes on C.J. Spiller “I thought Spiller was the difference in the game. I doubt if anyone is playing better than him in the country. The happiest I was, was when he was off the field. I knew

he couldn’t get the ball. “I would rank him pretty high among the really great players I have seen. The people that recruit those kinds of guys, they are the ones that have a chance to win National Championships because it is people like him that can get you in there.” Florida State head Coach Bobby Bowden, Nov. 7, 2009 “Spiller is unique in his overall skill set. He’s clearly a dynamic, hard to get on the ground runner -- his kick return record speaks for itself. He’s got two touchdown passes in his resume. One of which we witnessed. He’s got touchdowns catches. He is the true all-purpose threat. Maybe as great as we’ve seen in this conference for a long time.” Al Groh, Virginia Head Coach “C.J. Spiller ran 90 yards for Clemson at the end of the second quarter, his 18th career touchdown run of 50 yards or more. Spiller went 56 more yards to score on a pass from Kyle Parker. And you’ve hardly heard his name mentioned in Heisman Trophy conversations yet. Disgraceful. “But you will, you will.” Edwin Pope, Miami Herald “I have him (Spiller) as the 12th highest rated player on the Big Board. He’s going to test out as one of the fastest players in the draft. Maybe run a 4.28 range. I think he’s the top guy for the Heisman right now. If I had to give it out today, I give it to him. The fact that Clemson beat Miami gives them more credibility. They’ve put up big points the last two weeks. They have a game this week that they should rout. He should end up with outstanding numbers from an all-purpose yardage standpoint. “If you’re going for the best offensive player in college, Spiller catches, runs and returns….Spiller’s numbers supercede everybody.” Mel Kiper , ESPN “He woke everybody up on Saturday. He’s the most explosive player in college football.” Tony Barnhart, College Sports Television

ClemsonTigers.com

C.J. Spiller “Its almost prerequisite that Heisman Trophy candidates must be with a team that’s in the conversation for the national title as well. That changes as of this past week. It makes that big of a difference that he did it against a team like Miami on the road. He catapults into the conversation based on that.” Tim Brando, CBS Sports “Spiller was on the (Heisman) list for two weeks earlier in the season, and he returns after a dynamic all-around performance that helped knock off the Hurricanes. All game he showed off his game-breaking speed -- on a firstquarter catch out of the backfield, on the 90-yard kickoff return (he went untouched), on a long TD reception in the third quarter and on a long run in the fourth quarter that set up Clemson on Miami’s 15-yard line. His 310 all-purpose yards set a new Tigers record. Amazingly, Spiller has a play of at least 60 yards in each of Clemson’s seven games. He is 2005 Reggie Bush Lite, without the hype. Gene Menez, SI.com “When you talk about Clemson’s offense, you have to talk about C.J. Spiller. He’s a Heisman candidate. He is great when it comes to kickoff and punt returns. He’s a big play guy with great speed. He’s a guy you have to know where he is at all times.” Ralph Friedgen, Maryland Head Coach “C.J. Spiller is one of the most unbelievable running backs I’ve ever played against. I’d be interested to find a handful of running backs that are as talented as him in the country.” Riley Skinner, Wake Forest Quarterback “On offense they have C.J. Spiller, who can go the distance any time he touches the ball.” Paul Johnson, Georgia Tech Head Coach “Heisman Trophy candidate C.J. Spiller is as fast and elusive as there is in college football.” Rick Stockstill, Middle Tennessee Head Coach. “Against Miami on the kickoff return (for touchdown) someone clocked Spiller at 28 miles per hour. I talked with

our police chief, David Roper, and he said they have some suped up golf carts and they don’t even go that fast.” David Bennett, Head Coach Coastal Carolina.

1981 National Championship Team Notes of Interest on the 1981 Team • Clemson won its first national title in any sport and the first for the ACC in football in 28 years. • Clemson had five different players earn All-America honors, more than any other Tiger team in history. • There was no controversy concerning the voting of the National Champion in 1981. Clemson ended the season as the only undefeated, untied team in Division I after the bowl games and was the only team with three wins over top-10 teams. • Head Coach Danny Ford (age 33 at the time) remains the youngest coach in history of college football to win the National Championship. • Clemson forced 41 turnovers in the 12 games, still a school record for turnovers forced in a season. • During one stretch in the season, the Clemson defense held the opposition without a touchdown for 18 consecutive quarters and no opponent scored a rushing touchdown against Clemson during the first seven games of the season. • Clemson won the national title in 1981 after going 6-5 the previous season. The Tigers were unranked in every preseason poll entering 1981. • Clemson’s improvement of 5.5 games from 1980 to 1981 was the largest improvement in the nation. • Only one team (Wofford) had more time of possession in a game against Clemson all season. • Clemson had the lead at the end of the first quarter in just four of the 12 games. • Clemson scored 316 points during the regular season of 1981, the exact same total Georgia scored in its 11-game regular season of 1980, the year the Bulldogs won the national title. • Good health was a big reason for Clemson’s success in the 1981 season. Only five different starters missed any games during the entire season and no player missed more than two games all year. A collective total of only eight games were missed by five starters during the 1981 season. • No opponent had a run from scrimmage longer than 26 yards and no opponent had a play over 30 yards all season. The longest touchdown play against Clemson was 25 yards, on a halfback option pass from Mike Rozier to Anthony Steels of Nebraska in the Orange Bowl. • During offseason conditioning in the summer of 1981, Strength Coach George Dostal constructed a simple

2010 Clemson Football

sign for his strength training facility...”1982 Orange Bowl, Clemson vs. Nebraska.” • The Clemson senior student who was in charge of pep rallies for the 1981 season was former CBS This Morning anchor Jane Robelot. • The day after Clemson defeated North Carolina in Chapel Hill, NC, placekicker Donald Igwebuike flew to Maryland, where Clemson’s third-ranked soccer team defeated Maryland 4-0 to clinch the ACC title. Igwebuike played on two ACC Championship teams during that fall, both of which finished ranked in the top 10 in the nation.

Records Set in 1981 That Stand Today • Points vs. ACC opponent (82 vs. Wake Forest, 10/31) • Rushing yards in the modern era (536 vs. Wake Forest, 10/31) • Total offense yards in a game (756 vs. Wake Forest, 10/31) • Third-down conversion percentage in a game (100.0 (1212) vs. Wake Forest, 10/31) • Turnovers forced in a game (9 vs. Georgia, 9/19) • Wins in a season (12) • Wins over top-10 teams in a season (3) • Turnovers forced in a season (41)

Bowl History

Consecutive Years Winning Bowl Rk 1. 2. 3. 4. 8.

C.J. Spiller was named MVP of the 2009 Music City Bowl. Clemson defeated Kentucky 21-13.

Clemson has a rich bowl tradition. The Tigers have 16 bowl wins, 18th-most in NCAA history. Their first bowl game was in the 1940 Cotton Bowl when the Tigers defeated Frank Leahy (Boston College) 6-3. With its 2009 Music City Bowl win, the Tigers have played in a bowl game 21 of the last 25 years. That is among the top-10 bowl appearances since 1985. Clemson has beaten some of the top programs in college football history in bowl games. The list of schools Clemson has beaten in a bowl game includes prominent programs Colorado, Miami (FL), Nebraska, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Penn State, Stanford, Tennessee, and West Virginia.

Clemson won its first three bowl games, wins over Boston College, Missouri, and Miami (FL). The three coaches Clemson beat in those games were Frank Leahy, Don Faurot, and Andy Gustafson, and all three are in the College Football Hall of Fame. Clemson has a football program that has been steady over the years in bowl games, no matter who has been head coach.

ACC Football Consistency. It is the mark of true excellence in any endeavor. However, in today’s intercollegiate athletics, competition has become so balanced and so competitive that it is virtually impossible to maintain a high level of consistency. Yet the Atlantic Coast Conference has defied the odds. Now in its 58th year of competition, the ACC has long enjoyed the reputation as one of the strongest and most competitive intercollegiate conferences in the nation. And that is not mere conjecture...the numbers support it. Since the league’s inception in 1953, ACC schools have captured 121 national titles, including 64 in women’s competition and 57 in men’s. the league had a record eight teams win titles in 2009-10, four in men’s sports and four in women’s. The conference had an immediate impact on the national college football scene in the fall of 1953 when Maryland captured the first of what would eventually be five national football titles for the ACC. Clemson laid claim to the league’s second national title in 1981, while Georgia Tech followed suit in 1990. Florida State pocketed national titles #4 and #5 in 1993 and 1999, respectively. In addition, Miami (FL) has laid claim to five national gridiron titles over the past 26 seasons. Four of the Hurricanes’ five national titles (1983,87,89,01) were unanimous with both the sportswriters and coaches polls, while in 1991, Miami (AP) shared the national title with Washington (coaches). When Clemson running back C.J. Spiller, the ACC’s Player of the Year, was chosen as the 9th overall selection it preserved a streak for the Conference of having a player chosen among the Top 10 Draft picks in each of the past five years. Since the 2006 Draft, the ACC is the only confer-

ence to have had a Top 10 selection in each of the past five years. In the last four years, the ACC has 34 first-round selections, second nationally among leagues by just two. No fewer than 17 players on the rosters of the 2010 Super Bowl teams played their collegiate football at ACC schools, while 10 of the coaches had some connection to an ACC institution. For the second straight year, the Atlantic Coast Conference led all conferences by a wide margin in the number of former football standouts selected from its current

2009 Season Notes Swinney Leads Clemson to Top-25 Finish Clemson finished 24th in the final AP college football poll for 2009. The Tigers were 30th in poll points entering the bowl season, but jumped six spots after defeating Kentucky in the Music City Bowl, 21-13, on Dec. 27. Dabo Swinney was one of just two coaches in his first full season with a program to take his team to a top 25 final ranking. Chip Kelly of Oregon, who led the Ducks to a #11 final AP ranking, was the only other first-year coach to do it this year. Swinney was the only first-year coach in the nation to take his program to a final top-25 finish without a preseason top-25 ranking. Swinney was the third Clemson coach in history to lead the Tigers to a top-25 finish in his first full season. Charley Pell did it in 1977 when he led the Tigers to a 19thplace finish in the final AP poll, and Ken Hatfield did it in 1990 when the Tigers finished ninth in the final AP poll. It marked the fifth time in the decade that Clemson finished in the final top 25, tied for the 18th-highest figure in the nation. It was the fourth time the program finished in the AP top 25 this decade without a preseason ranking. Only Boise State has accomplished that feat more than Clemson this decade, as the Broncos did it five times. Boston College and Oregon State have also done it four times. Overall, it was the eighth time in history that Clemson finished in the final top 25 without a preseason ranking. The other years were 1977, 1981, 1983, 1986, 2003, 2005 and 2007. Joining Clemson as teams that finished in the top 25 in 2009 without a preseason ranking were Cincinnati (8th), Pittsburgh (15th), Wisconsin (16th), Miami (19th), Texas Tech (21st), Central Michigan (23rd) and West Virginia (25th). The importance of the bowl season on the final rankings was illustrated when comparing Clemson and West Virginia. Clemson was 30th in poll points and West Virginia was 18th in the rankings entering the bowl games, but the Tigers finished ahead of the Mountaineers in the final poll. Northwestern, Houston, East Carolina, Arizona, Oklahoma State, Stanford, West Virginia and Oregon State were all ranked ahead of Clemson in the pre-bowl poll, but the Tigers jumped ahead of those schools in the final rankings. Overall, it was the 25th season that Clemson finished in the top 25 of at least one national poll.

Tigers Captured Atlantic Division Crown Clemson clinched the Atlantic Division title on Nov. 21 with a 34-21 win over Virginia at Memorial Stadium. It gave the Tigers a 6-2 league mark. Clemson finished a game ahead of Boston College in the standings. The 6-2 record was the best ACC mark for the Tigers since 2003, when Clemson was also 6-2. Clemson was also 6-2 in 2000.

Most Non-Offensive Touchdowns in a Season

It was the first time Clemson won the Atlantic Division since the format was adopted in 2005. In each of the first four years of the format, Clemson finished a game out of first place. From 2005-07, if Clemson had beaten Boston College, the Tigers would have gone to the ACC title game each time.

Tigers Beat Hurricanes and Seminoles

Three Tigers in Top 20 in Six Categories

With the 40-24 win over Florida State on Nov. 7, the 2009 Tiger team became the first in school history to beat both Florida State and Miami (FL) in the same year. Clemson had beaten both teams before, including recent years, but never in the same year. Entering the 2009 season, Clemson had a combined record of 8-21 against those two programs over the years, so it was a significant accomplishment. Clemson defeated #8 Miami on Oct. 24 at LandShark Stadium by a score of 40-37 in overtime. It was an especially gratifying accomplishment for Clemson’s 16 players from the state of Florida. The list included six starters. The list includes C.J. Spiller of Lake Butler, Clemson’s top rusher, and Jacoby Ford of Royal Palm Beach, Clemson’s top receiver, Jacksonville quarterback Kyle Parker, Clemson’s top passer, and DeAndre McDaniel of Tallahassee, Clemson’s interception leader.

Ranked Wins on the Road

2009 Associated Press Final Poll

Clemson won its first-ever ACC Atlantic Division crown in 2009.

Clemson gained victory over eighth-ranked Miami (FL) on Oct. 24. It was Clemson’s 59th all-time win over a top-25 team, the 20th win over a team on an opponent’s home field. It tied for the highest-ranked team Clemson has defeated on the road. The other time was at #8 North Carolina in 1981, when the Tigers won by a score of 10-8. To document such road wins over ranked teams, Clemson has constructed a graveyard at the entrance to the practice fields, and a tombstone has been erected for each victory over a ranked team on the road. Three of the 20 road wins over ranked teams have now taken place in Miami. Clemson defeated the Hurricanes 15-14 in the 1951 Orange Bowl and downed the Hurricanes when they were #10 in the USA Today poll in 2004. Both of those games were played in the Orange Bowl. Clemson’s highest-ranked win regardless of site is a win over #3 Florida State at Memorial Stadium in 2003. The win over Miami was the highest-ranked team Clemson has defeated since the Tigers upset #6 Tennessee in the 2003 Peach Bowl.

Clemson Had Seven Returns for Scores Clemson had seven touchdowns not accounted for by the team’s offense in 2009. The seven returns for touchdowns tied for first in school history for a single season. C.J. Spiller had five of the seven on kickoff or punt returns. The 1990 team also had seven returns for touchdowns. The 2009 squad had four on kickoff returns (all by Spiller), two on punt returns (one by Spiller, one by Jacoby Ford), and one interception return for a score by DeAndre McDaniel.

Clemson had three players who were in the final top-25 in the nation in various statistical categories. The list was led by C.J. Spiller, who was fourth in the nation in all-purpose yards, third in kickoff return average, fifth in touchdowns, and 14th in scoring. DeAndre McDaniel was third in interceptions per game and freshman safety Rashard Hall was 19th in the same category. Placekicker Richard Jackson did not finish in the top 25 in field goals, but was the only player in the nation to kick six field goals in a game in 2009.

Three Tigers Named First-Team All-ACC C.J. Spiller, Michael Palmer, and DeAndre McDaniel were all First-Team All-ACC selections according to voting conducted by the Atlantic Coast Sports Media Association. The association has selected the official All-ACC football team since 1953, the first year of the conference. Five Tigers made the second team, led by Jacoby Ford (WR), Thomas Austin (OG), Chris Hairston (OT), and Ricky Sapp (DE). Spiller was the first-team specialist and secondteam running back. Crezdon Butler (CB), Chris Chancellor (CB), Rashard Hall (S), Jarvis Jenkins (DT) and Brandon Maye (LB) were all honorable-mention selections.

Spiller Sixth in Final Heisman Voting C.J. Spiller finished sixth in the 2009 Heisman Trophy voting, tied for the highest finish by a Tiger. Steve Fuller finished in a tie for sixth with Ted Brown of N.C. State in 1978, and that is the only other top-10 Heisman finish by a Clemson player. Spiller had 26 first-place votes, 31 second-place votes, and 83 third-place votes in recording 223 Heisman points. He was named on 140 of the 925 ballots. He was 167 points behind Florida quarterback Tim Tebow in the voting. The 26 first-place votes and 223 points were also the most ever by a Tiger. Fuller had 19 first-place votes and 92 points in the 1978 Heisman voting. Below are some other notes on Spiller and the Heisman Trophy voting. • Spiller was the first ACC player to finish in the top six of the Heisman race since 2000, when Florida State quarterClemsonTigers.com

2009 Season Notes back Chris Weinke won the award. Since 1992, the only other ACC players (in the league the year of the voting) to finish in the top six were Joe Hamilton of Georgia Tech (second in 1999), Warrick Dunn of Florida State (fifth in 1996), and Charlie Ward of Florida State (first in 1993). • Spiller’s 26 first-place votes and 223 voting points were the most by an ACC player since Weinke won the award in 2000. • The voting was close, as evidenced by the 28-point difference between first-place Mark Ingram of Alabama and second-place Toby Gerhart of Stanford, the closest margin for the winner in the 75-year history of the award. But Spiller’s vote total was also an indication of the close race. Spiller’s 26 first-place votes were the second-most by a sixth-place finisher since 1973. The only other sixthplace finisher with more in the last 36 years was the 46 first-place votes by Antwaan Randle El of Indiana in 2001. He finished sixth with 267 voting points that year. • Spiller’s point total of 223 was the third-most for a sixthplace finisher since 1973. Byron Hanspard of Texas Tech had just 15 first-place votes, but 251 voting points in 1996. • Spiller joined a lot of celebrated players who have gone on to outstanding NFL careers with the sixth-place finish in the Heisman voting. Other sixth-place finishers include Bobby Layne of Texas (1947), Alan Ameche of Wisconsin (1953), Mike Ditka of Pittsburgh (1960), Dick Butkus of Illinois (1963), Bill Fralic of Pittsburgh (1984), Chris Spielman of Ohio State (1987), Warren Sapp of Miami (FL) (1994), Peyton Manning of Tennessee (1995), Michael Vick of Virginia Tech (2000), Matt Leinart of Southern California (2003), and A.J. Hawk of Ohio State (2005). • Spiller had a similar finish to his boyhood idol, Warrick Dunn of Florida State. Spiller wore #28 because that was the number that Dunn wore in college and the NFL. Spiller finished sixth with 26 first-place votes and Dunn finished fifth with 40 first-place votes his senior year (1996). 2009 Heisman Trophy Voting Breakdown Player Mark Ingram Toby Gerhart Colt McCoy Ndamukong Suh Tim Tebow C.J.

Spiller #2 in NCAA in All-Purpose Running Running back C.J. Spiller went over the 7,000-yard mark in all-purpose yards at South Carolina when he returned the opening kickoff 88 yards for a touchdown. He became just the fifth FBS player in history to reach 7,000 yards. He finished his career second on the all-time list with 7,588. The record is held by Brandon West of Western Michigan, who was a senior in 2009 as well. West finished with 7,764 yards. The second chart below illustrates Spiller’s versatility as a player. He finished his career as one of only five ACC players to accumulate 3000 rushing yards and 1000 receiving yards. Spiller finished with 3,547 rushing yards and 1,420 yards as a receiver out of the backfield for the Tigers.

Spiller Establishes ACC Record

Spiller & Ford the Nation’s Top All-Purpose Duo

C.J. Spiller had 176 all-purpose yards at Maryland and became the ACC’s all-time leader in that area in the process. He finished his career with 7,588 all-purpose yards for his career and broke the conference record of 5,828 by Leon Johnson of North Carolina (1993-96). So, he broke the record by nearly 1,760 yards, or by 30 percent more than the previous record.

C.J. Spiller and Jacoby Ford established the record as the top all-purpose duo in the history of college football during the 2009 season. They combined for 11,671 yards and 72 touchdowns in their four years together. The previous record was 10,253 by Marshall Faulk and Darnay Scott of San Diego State (1991-93). Therefore, Spiller and Ford have the record by over 1,400 yards. That computes to 6.63 miles of real estate on the gridiron for those two seniors combined. They played together for four years and graduated on the same day in Littlejohn Coliseum on Dec. 17, 2009. Below is a rundown of their career totals in each statistical category.

Spiller finished his career third in ACC history in kickoff return average. It is interesting to note that three of the top four averages in ACC history are held by former Clemson players. Spiller also finished with 51 career touchdowns, a Clemson record, but just one score shy of the all-time ACC record of 52 set by Wali Lundy of Virginia.

Palmer Sets Tight End Receiving Record Tight end Michael Palmer had eight receptions for 106 yards and a touchdown in the loss at South Carolina. That was just the second 100-yard receiving game for a Clemson tight end in school history. John McMakin had four catches for 107 yards against The Citadel in 1970. Palmer had quite a senior season with 43 catches for 507 yards and four scores. He broke the school record for catches in a season by a tight end when he had three against Georgia Tech in the ACC Championship game. The previous record was 40 by McMakin in 1970. Palmer established the yardage record when he caught a 22-yard scoring pass from Kyle Parker in the fourth quarter at South Carolina. Palmer was named the top tight end in the nation by the John Mackey committee for his performance at #8 Miami (FL). He had five catches for 74 yards and a touchdown in the upset win over the Hurricanes.

September 10, 2009 Bobby Dodd Stadium • Atlanta, GA

C.J. Spiller took the opening kickoff of the season back 96 yards for a touchdown and Clemson never looked back in its 37-14 victory over Middle Tennessee at Memorial Stadium on September 5. It was the second-ever meeting between the two schools and featured former Tiger assistant coach and current Blue Raider Head Coach Rick Stockstill on the opposing sideline. After a 68-yard fumble return by Chris McCoy early in the second quarter cut Clemson’s lead to 10-7, the Tigers added 20 points to take a 30-7 halftime lead, highlighted by Jacoby Ford’s 61-yard punt return for a touchdown and 43-yard receiving score. It was only the second time in school history that the Tigers had a kickoff return and punt return for a touchdown in one game. Kyle Parker, Clemson’s first freshman quarterback to start a season-opener since 1945, was 9-20 for 159 yards and two scores. Ford (190) and Spiller (171) each had over 170 all-purpose yards, while Spiller earned ACC Specialist-of-the-Week honors. Brandon Maye had one of Clemson’s three interceptions and added a team-tying-high 14 tackles, a tackle-for-loss, and caused fumble to earn ACC Defensive Lineman-of-the-Week honors.

The #13 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets jumped out to a 24-0 lead and overcame a furious pcomeback in their 30-27 win over Clemson at Bobby Dodd Stadium on September 10. The Tigers scored 27 consecutive points only to have Scott Blair kick the game-winning 36-yard field goal with 57 seconds left. Georgia Tech used an 82-yard touchdown run, an 85-yard punt return for a score, and a 34-yard touchdown pass on a fake field goal to take an early lead. But the Tigers stormed back to take a 27-24 lead in the fourth quarter, highlighted by Kyle Parker’s 77-yard touchdown pass to Jacoby Ford in the third quarter. Richard Jackson later booted a 53-yard field goal to put Clemson ahead by three points early in the fourth quarter. With the score tied and just over three minutes left, Parker hit Ford on third-and-11 for a would-be 38-yard pass to the Georgia Tech 18, but the Tigers were flagged for holding. The Yellow Jackets took over and set up the game-winning field goal. Parker was named ACC Rookie-of-the-Week after passing for 261 yards and three touchdowns. Ford added five catches for 109 yards and C.J. Spiller totaled 234 all-purpose yards.

September 19, 2009 Memorial Stadium • Clemson, SC

Richard Jackson tied a school record with six field goals and Clemson limited Boston College to just 54 yards of total offense in the Tigers’ 25-7 win at Memorial Stadium on September 19. On a rainy afternoon, the Tigers held their opponent to the fewest yards since 1963. The game was delayed twice for a total of 103 minutes due to lightning as well. C.J. Spiller scored the game’s only touchdown on a 77-yard punt return in the first quarter. He totaled 225 all-purpose yards. Jackson was a perfect 6-6 on field goals and accounted for 19 of Clemson’s 25 points. His long boot was 52 yards during a steady rain, as he earned ACC Specialist-of-the-Week honors and won the Leather Helmet Award as the game MVP. Meanwhile, Clemson’s defense held the Eagles to four first downs, 29 rushing yards on 28 carries, and 5-21 passing for 25 yards. Boston College’s only score came on a 13-yard pass on the play after a Tiger fumble. The Eagles, who were 1-12 on third down, also had just one drive that lasted more than four plays. Ricky Sapp was named ACC Defensive Lineman-of-the-Week with three tackles for loss and two sacks. Rashard Hall, DeAndre McDaniel, and Jonathan Meeks each added an interception.

September 26, 2009 Memorial Stadium • Clemson, SC

Andy Dalton had 312 yards of total offense to lead #14 Texas Christian to a 14-10 win over Clemson at Memorial Stadium on September 26. It was the first meeting between the two in 44 years. Dalton was 17-26 for 226 yards and two scores, including the game-winner in the fourth quarter, and had 86 rushing yards. The Horned Frogs amassed 388 yards of offense, but they had just two offensive snaps inside the Tiger 25 thanks to Clemson’s defense. The game did not feature a turnover by either squad despite heavy rain falling during most of the second half. After the Tigers drove 72 yards on the game’s opening possession, they stalled and settled for a field goal. The Horned Frogs responded with a 91-yard drive that ended in Curtis Clay’s six-yard touchdown catch. The drive was kept alive by a 58-yard pass to Ed Wesley on third-and-13 that was deflected at the line of scrimmage and was not even intended for Wesley. Clemson regained the lead with 33 seconds left in the second quarter when C.J. Spiller rushed for a one-yard score. Three plays earlier, Spiller’s 60-yard catch from Kyle Parker set up the score that gave Clemson a 10-7 halftime lead. Spiller rushed for 112 yards and had three receptions for 79 yards in the game. After a scoreless third quarter, Antoine Hicks hauled in a 25-yard touchdown catch early in the fourth quarter. Clemson answered with a 59-yard drive, but Richard Jackson’s 34-yard field-goal try sailed wide-left. The Tigers regained possession with 6:52 remaining and again drove 59 yards, but Parker’s pass in the endzone on fourth-and-13 fell incomplete with 1:55 left.

Maryland scored 17 points in the second quarter to take the lead and held on to defeat Clemson 24-21 at Byrd Stadium on October 3. The Tigers took a 10-0 lead in the first quarter, but the Terrapins mounted two touchdown drives of 76 and 81 yards in the second quarter and never relinquished the lead. Jacoby Ford gave Clemson a 10-0 lead when he scored on a 17-yard reverse. Chris Turner’s 29-yard touchdown pass to Torrey Smith cut Clemson’s lead to 13-10, then Maryland marched down the field on its next drive and scored on Turner’s four-yard pass to Ronnie Tyler with 35 seconds left in the second quarter. Maryland upped its lead to 24-13 in the third quarter thanks in part to Tony Logan’s 43-yard punt return to the Tiger one. Three plays later, Davin Meggett scored on a one-yard touchdown run. However, C.J. Spiller, who became the ACC’s all-time leader in career all-purpose yards in the game, returned the ensuing kickoff 92 yards for a touchdown after breaking several tackles and losing a shoe in Tiger territory. But Clemson was unable to capitalize on three drives inside the Maryland 31 in the fourth quarter and fell by three points.

October 17, 2009 Memorial Stadium • Clemson, SC

Clemson held Wake Forest to its fewest yards under Head Coach Jim Grobe in the Tigers’ 38-3 victory at Memorial Stadium on October 17. The Tigers held the Demon Deacons’ potent offense in check, allowing just 178 yards while tallying five sacks and 12 tackles for loss, including three by Da’Quan Bowers. DeAndre McDaniel had one of two Tiger interceptions and was named ACC Defensive Back-of-the-Week for his efforts. He was a big reason Wake Forest’s longest play was only 19 yards. Meanwhile, Clemson’s offense was efficient, as it scored on all five of its red-zone possessions with four touchdowns. The Tigers, who jumped out to a 31-3 halftime lead, totaled 382 yards, including 195 rushing and 187 passing, and 6.7 yards per play. C.J. Spiller rushed for 106 yards on nine carries, including scores of 66 and 14 yards. Kyle Parker was 10-17 passing for 132 yards and a touchdown along with a rushing score, while Michael Palmer had a game-high four catches for 49 yards and a score.

Seven different Tigers accounted for Clemson’s seven touchdowns in its 49-3 Homecoming win over Coastal Carolina on a rainy afternoon at Memorial Stadium on October 31. It was the first-ever meeting between the two schools. The Tigers broke the game open with 14 points in the second quarter, highlighted by Jacoby Ford’s 23-yard touchdown pass to Xavier Dye. Ford, who earlier caught a touchdown pass, became the first Tiger to throw and catch a touchdown in one game since 1950. Clemson scored four more touchdowns in the third quarter, including a 55-yard scoring run by Andre Ellington, who had 88 yards on only six carries. Jamie Harper added 76 yards and a touchdown for the Tigers, who averaged 6.8 yards per carry. Meanwhile, the Tiger defense did not allow the Chanticleers, whose longest offensive play was 15 yards, to snap the ball in Tiger territory until the fourth quarter. Freshman Corico Hawkins had a team-high eight tackles and both of Clemson’s sacks.

Both teams put up big offensive numbers in the first half, as Clemson took a 24-21 lead into halftime.

South Carolina rushed for 223 yards, including 114 by Kenny Miles, in its 34-17 win over #15 Clemson at Williams-Brice Stadium on November 28. It was just the second Gamecock win in Columbia in the last 11 meetings in the capital city. C.J. Spiller opened the game with an 88-yard kickoff return for a score, the seventh of his career to set an FBS record. But the Gamecocks outscored Clemson 17-0 the rest of the first half. In the second half, South Carolina extended its lead to 24-7 on Stephen Garcia’s 14-yard touchdown pass to Tori Gurley. After the teams traded field goals, Kyle Parker connected with Michael Palmer for a 22-yard touchdown pass to narrow the Gamecocks’ lead to 27-17.

The Wildcats drove 61 yards on their opening possession, capped by Morgan Newton’s 17-yard touchdown pass to Chris Matthews. The Tigers answered late in the first quarter with Kyle Parker’s 32-yard touchdown pass to Jacoby Ford over the middle. Jamie Harper, who had 79 yards on eight carries, gave Clemson the lead in the second quarter on his one-yard plunge. In the fourth quarter, Kavell Conner stripped Gene McCaskill and Jarvis Jenkins recovered at the Wildcat 19. Three plays later, Spiller scored on an eight-yard touchdown run.
