OVERVIEW
RECORD-SETTING TWO SEASONS
CLEMSON’S CHICK-FIL-A BOWL WIN OVER #7 LOUISIANA STATE GAVE THE TIGERS THEIR THIRD VICTORY OVER AN SEC TEAM IN THE LAST TWO YEARS.
21 Wins in Two Years Clemson has had back-to-back seasons of at least 10 victories. The Tigers are the only ACC team and one of just 13 programs nationally with at least 10 wins each of the last two seasons. Clemson also has consecutive top25 seasons, also a first for the program since the 1986-91 era, including a top-10 finish in the final USA Today poll in 2012, the Tigers’ highest final ranking since 1990. Clemson is 21-6 over the last two years, as the 21 combined wins are the most for the program since 1981-82.

Back-to-Back ACC Atlantic Division Crowns Clemson has a 13-3 ACC record in the last two years and won the 2011 ACC Championship, the first league title for the Tigers in 20 years. Clemson won the ACC Atlantic Division title in 2011 with a 6-2 record, then tied Florida State for the ACC Atlantic Division crown in 2012 with a 7-1 mark after losing its conference-opener in Tallahassee. The seven conference wins set a school record. Clemson has now won or tied for first in the ACC Atlantic Division three of the four full years Dabo Swinney has been Clemson’s head coach.
ana State in the 2012 Chick-fil-A Bowl, the highest ranked victory in a bowl game for the Tigers in nine years. What has been especially impressive about the six top25 wins over the last two years is that four of them have been away from home. Clemson’s four top-25 wins in 2011 were the most in one year in Clemson history and tied for second-most in the nation that year.
Three Top-25 Wins Over SEC Teams Clemson has three wins over top-25 SEC teams in the last two seasons, the only non-SEC school in the country that can make that claim. In fact, there have been only seven non-conference victories over top-25 SEC teams during the last two years, and Clemson has three of the seven.

RECORD-SETTING TWO SEASONS
In 2011, the Tiger football team posted a 983 APR score, the seventh-best score in the nation among FBS schools. The score was second-best in the nation among schools who finished the 2011 season in the final AP top 25. Only Boise State was better among the ranked schools with a 989 mark. In 2012, the Clemson football team improved to a 985 score and a tie for #4 in the nation. Clemson was the only program to finish in the top 10 of the USA Today poll and post an APR score of at least 980.
29 Straight Polls Clemson has a streak of 29 straight polls with a top-25 ranking in at least one poll, including every week during the 2012 season. This is the longest streak Clemson has been ranked in at least one poll since the October 23, 1989 to October 24, 1992 era, when the Tigers were ranked in 50 consecutive polls. This streak is the third longest in Clemson history. The Tigers also had a 45-poll streak in the 1980s. Alabama, Clemson, Louisiana State, Oregon, South Carolina, and Stanford are the only schools in the nation with an active streak of at least 29 polls entering the 2013 season. Clemson has also been ranked in the top 20 of every BCS ranking over the last two years, a total of 16 in a row. That includes a #14 figure in the final 2012 BCS ranking and a #15 figure in the final 2011 BCS ranking. Awards Aplenty Clemson has had the ACC Player-of-the-Year and ACC Rookie-of-the-Year in the last two years. Tajh Boyd was the 2012 ACC Player-of-the-Year when he led Clemson to an 11-2 record. Sammy Watkins was the 2011 ACC Rookie-ofthe-Year when he helped the Tigers to the ACC Championship. Four different Tigers, Boyd, Dalton Freeman, DeAndre Hopkins, and Watkins, were named to at least one AllAmerica team in 2012, tied for second-most in Clemson history for one season. In 2011, Clemson had two AP FirstTeam All-Americans in Dwayne Allen and Watkins, the first time Clemson had two in one season. The Tigers had six of the 11 First-Team All-ACC players on offense in 2012, the most in one year in school history and the first time since 1995 that one ACC team had six of the first-team selections on offense. Clemson had six All-ACC Academic selections in 2012, including Freeman, second-team Academic All-American. Only Duke had more All-ACC Academic selections than Clemson in 2012. Clemson had five in 2011. Offensive Excellence One of the reasons for Clemson’s recent success has been the production of the offense. In the last two years (27 games), Clemson has averaged 37 points and 475 yards per game. The Tigers have converted on third down 47 percent of the time, completed 63 percent of their passes, and averaged 6.1 yards per play.

That evening, Terry Kinard was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame and Kyle Young was a recipient of a National Football Foundation Scholar-Athlete Award. Clemson was the only school in the nation with one of each in 2001. • Terry Kinard was the first Tiger gridder to win a national individual award. He was named 1982 national defensive player-of-the-year by CBS. That year (his senior season), he was a unanimous first-team All-American, the first unanimous All-American in Clemson football history. He was named to the ACC’s 50-Year Anniversary team in 2002, and he was also listed among the top-50 athletes in the history of the ACC, regardless of sport. • Three former Clemson coaches are in the College Football Hall of Fame. The list includes John Heisman (190003), Jess Neely (1931-39), and Frank Howard (1940-69). • Banks McFadden, Clemson’s greatest all-around athlete in history and an AP First-Team All-American in 1939, was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1959.
NFL Draft Picks • With four players drafted in 2013, it marked the fifth consecutive season that Clemson had at least four players selected in the NFL draft. • DeAndre Hopkins was a first-round pick (#27 overall) in 2013 and the fourth offensive skill position player taken. He was Clemson’s 24th first-round draft pick in history. • Only Alabama had more draft picks than Clemson (4) among the first 115 players taken in the 2012 NFL draft. The Crimson Tide had five, followed by Clemson, Illinois, Louisiana State, Miami (FL), Oklahoma, and Stanford with four apiece. • Since Dabo Swinney became Clemson’s head coach, the Tigers have had 23 players drafted, the most in a four-

year period since the 1990-93 era. Among ACC schools, Clemson has had the most players drafted the last four years (23). • Clemson is the only ACC school to have at least four players drafted each of the last five years. Clemson had four players selected in the 2009 draft, five in 2010, six in 2011, four in 2012, and four in 2013. • Being a top-100 selection is a good sign for Clemson players, as 57 of the last 59 Tigers taken within the first 100 picks of the draft have gone on to play in the NFL. • C.J. Spiller was the #9 overall selection of the 2010 NFL draft and the first ACC player chosen. In just his third year, he made the Pro Bowl. • The late Gaines Adams was the #4 overall pick of the 2007 NFL draft by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Adams tied for the highest draft pick by a Tiger in history and the highest since 1939, when Banks McFadden was the #4 overall pick of the NFL draft by the Brooklyn Dodgers. Adams’ selection tied for the third-highest pick in any sport in Tiger history. • Clemson had 10 players drafted in 1983, second-most in ACC history for one draft.

OVERVIEW
BRIAN DAWKINS WAS A NINE-TIME PRO BOWL SELECTION WITH THE EAGLES AND BRONCOS DURING HIS 16 YEARS IN THE NFL.
NFL Influence • Twenty-two former Tigers have combined to win 30 Super Bowl Championship rings. Linebacker Anthony Waters was a member of the 2010 New Orleans Saints, who won the Super Bowl title. It was the second straight year a former Tiger played on a Super Bowl Champion. Defensive tackle Nick Eason was a member of the 2009 Pittsburgh Steeler Super Bowl Championship team. Clemson’s leader is Jeff Bostic, who started on three Super Bowl Championship teams with the Washington Redskins. • Clemson has had a former player on a Super Bowl Championship team in seven of the last 15 years. • Two former Tigers were named to the NFL All-Rookie team in 2010, linebacker Kavell Conner (Indianapolis Colts) and wide receiver Jacoby Ford (Oakland Raiders). Ford had three kickoff returns for touchdowns as a rookie and had seven touchdowns overall. Dwayne Allen was an All-Rookie team selection in 2012. • Brian Dawkins retired in 2011 as one of the great safeties in the history of the game and is an odds-on-favorite to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. A 1996 Clemson graduate, Dawkins was an All-American on Clemson’s 1995 team when he finished the season 10th in the nation in interceptions. He became the first player in NFL history in 2002 to register a sack, interception, recovered fumble, and receiving touchdown in the same game. He was named to the Pro Bowl nine times in his career, including the 2012 Pro Bowl after his final season. He was named to the Pro Bowl more than any other former Tiger.

• Levon Kirkland was named to the NFL All-Decade team (1990s) for his play with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Brian Dawkins was named to the NFL All-Decade team for the 2000s for his play with the Philadelphia Eagles. • Twenty-four former Tigers were on NFL rosters in 2012.
Poll Presence • The 2012 season marked the 26th year that Clemson was ranked in the final AP poll. It was the fifth time in the last seven years that Clemson was ranked in the final poll. The Tigers’ highest ranking is #1, a mark achieved on November 30, 1981 and in the final poll that season. • Clemson was ranked in all 16 polls of the 2012 season and has a streak of 29 straight top-25 rankings entering the 2013 season. • Clemson had a streak of 50 consecutive weeks ranked in at least on poll in the 1980s. • Clemson finished in the top 20 of all the final polls from 1986-91, a six-year streak. The Tigers had exactly two losses in each of those six seasons. • Clemson was ranked in the final top 20 of the AP poll six times in the 1980s. The Tigers were fifth in the nation in winning percentage during that decade. • Beating ranked opponents has been a hallmark of Clemson’s success. The Tigers have beaten an AP-ranked op-
ponent 23 of last 27 years, including 18 top-25 victories in the last 10 years. • Clemson defeated four top-25 teams in 2011, including #3 Virginia Tech, tied for the highest-ranked team Clemson has defeated. The Tigers defeated three AP top-25 teams in succession when they downed Auburn, Florida State, and Virginia Tech on consecutive Saturdays, the first ACC team to do that. • Clemson has eight top-10 wins in the last 10 years, including a victory over #3 Virginia Tech in the 2011 ACC Championship game, tied for the highest-ranked team the Tigers have beaten in history. In 2009, Clemson won at #8 Miami (FL) by a score of 40-37 in overtime in one of the most exciting games in Clemson history. The Tigers defeated #7 Louisiana State in the 2012 Chick-fil-A Bowl as well.
Prominent Former Tigers • Dwight Clark had his #87 retired by the San Francisco 49ers after he finished his career in 1987. He was a starter on the 1981 and 1984 (seasons) Super Bowl Championship 49ers teams. He is most famous for his gamewinning catch on a pass from Joe Montana against Dallas in the 1982 NFC Championship game. He was the NFL MVP in 1982, the only former Tiger to win NFL MVP honors. • Brian Dawkins had his #20 retired by the Philadelphia Eagles during the 2012 season. Dawkins played 13 seasons for the Eagles and was named to the Pro Bowl seven times while playing for that franchise and nine times overall. • Charlie Waters was a three-time Pro Bowl selection with the Dallas Cowboys. A member of the Cowboys’ Ring of Honor, he played on two Super Bowl Championship teams before going on to a coaching career at Oregon. • Charlie Waters and Jeff Bostic were both named to ESPN’s 40-Man Roster of Greatest Super Bowl players, released prior to Super Bowl XL. • The Perry brothers (William, Michael Dean) were starters on Clemson’s 1984 defense. Both were named to the ACC’s 50-Year Anniversary team in 2002. William played on Clemson’s 1981 National Championship team as a freshman, then on the Super Bowl Champion Bears of 1985. Michael Dean played in six Pro Bowls with Cleveland and Denver, second-most among former Tigers. Both were named ACC Player-of-the-Year during their careers, William in 1984 and Michael Dean in 1987. They are the only brother combination in ACC history that can make that claim.

2013 OUTLOOK
When Dabo Swinney became Clemson’s head coach in 2008, one of his stated goals was to bring consistent excellence to the program. Five years later, some would say he has reached that goal. Clemson won or tied for the ACC Atlantic Division Championship three times in four years from 2009-12, something that had not been achieved prior to his appointment as leader of the program. That includes an ACC Championship in 2011, a first for the program in 20 years. Clemson has had back-to-back seasons of at least 10 victories, another first for the program since the 1987-90 era. The Tigers are the only ACC team and one of just 13 programs nationally to win at least 10 games each of the last two seasons. Six of Clemson’s 21 wins the last two years have come against top-25 teams, including four victories against teams ranked in the top 11. That includes a 38-10 win over #3 Virginia Tech in the 2011 ACC Championship game and a 25-24 win over #7 Louisiana State in the 2012 Chick-fil-A Bowl, the highest-ranked victory in a bowl game for the Tigers in nine years. “We have realized some accomplishments that haven’t been done here in 20 or 30 years, but we have higher goals,” said Swinney. “We finished in the top 10 in the nation last year, but we want to do that multiple years. We reached a BCS bowl in 2011, but we want to be in the mix for a BCS bowl every year. This is a program that has the resources, the tradition, the fan support, and the overall infrastructure to compete for the National Championship.” The 2012 Tigers finished with an 11-2 record, just the fourth 11-win season in Clemson history. Swinney’s team set a school record for conference wins in a season with a 7-1 record and tied for the ACC Atlantic Division title. With the return of 14 starters and 55 lettermen, there is experience and talent on the 2013 squad. “We have the pieces in place to have another very good season,” added Swinney, who has a 40-21 record in five seasons as the leader of the Clemson program. “We have returning experience on both sides of the ball. We have seven starters back on offense and six returning on defense. But on the defensive side, we have four other players back who started four games or more. “We have the opportunity to be a special team in 2013, but the ball is not round. We have to get some breaks and avoid injury. Because of the past two years, this group knows how to prepare correctly.” One of the reasons Clemson has high hopes entering 2013 is the return of seven starters on offense from a unit that set 101 school records (33 team, 68 individual) in 2012. There are 26 returning lettermen on offense, 17 of whom played at least 100 snaps in 2012. The leader of that offense returns for his red-shirt senior year. Tajh Boyd will own 51 school records when the season kicks off against Georgia at Memorial Stadium on August 31. Those include career standards for passing touchdowns, passing efficiency, touchdown responsibility, and 300-yard passing games. Sammy Watkins also returns and will be Boyd’s favorite target. An AP First-Team All-American as an all-purpose player in 2011 when he had 82 receptions, Watkins played in just 10 of the 13 games (and one of those was for just two snaps against Louisiana State) in 2012, but still finished with 57 receptions for 708 yards and three touchdowns. He also averaged 107 all-purpose yards per game and is a consensus preseason All-American in 2013. One personnel number that brings a smile to Swinney’s face as he approaches the 2013 season is the return of four starters on the offensive line. “If you look over the history of Clemson football, this program has done well in seasons when it has four or five starters returning on the offensive line,” said Swinney. “Experience and timing through repetition is so important to the success of an offense.” Clemson’s defense showed improvement over the course of the season under first-year Defensive Coordinator Brent Venables. The Tigers finished the season 22nd in the nation in sacks, including a season-high six in the bowl win over Louisiana State. Clemson held the SEC Tigers to

BRANDON THOMAS, A FIRST-TEAM ALL-ACC OFFENSIVE TACKLE IN 2012, IS ONE OF FOUR RETURNING STARTERS ON THE OFFENSIVE LINE. just 219 yards and nine first downs, while forcing eight three-and-outs in the Chick-fil-A Bowl. Officially, Clemson has just six starters returning on defense and only two of the top-six tacklers return, but there are 10 players returning on defense who started at least five games last year. Josh Watson is back for his junior season after leading the defensive line in tackles (54) in 2012. Travis Blanks is the leading returning tackler from a hybrid linebacker/ safety position. He looks to be a starting safety in 2013 after totaling 51 tackles in 2012. Other returning starters on Clemson’s point-prevention unit include Grady Jarrett (DT), Corey Crawford (DE), and Quandon Christian (LB). Jarrett was co-defensive MVP according to the Clemson coaches last year. “I believe our front seven will be one of the strengths of this team,” explained Swinney. “We lost just one player off the defensive front line in Malliciah Goodman and return three players who have significant time starting at linebacker. Spencer Shuey was one of the more impactful players we had last year. “We have a strong corps of linebackers and a strong group of young players backing them up. We won’t know what we have in the secondary until August when we have a lot of new talented players join the roster.”
Clemson has become one of the top offenses in the nation over the last two years. The Tigers have improved from 88th in the nation to ninth in total offense, from 86th to sixth in scoring, and from 111th to second in red-zone scoring offense. Clemson is a big-play threat, as shown by an improvement from 100th to first in offensive plays of 25 yards or more. In 2012, Boyd completed 287-427 passes for 3,896 yards and 36 touchdowns. That was a 67.2 completion percentage and his pass efficiency rating was a school-record 165.6. He was fifth in the nation in passing efficiency, the highest finish by a Tiger since Mike Eppley was third in 1983. An average game for Boyd last year was completing 22-33 passes for 300 yards and 2.8 touchdowns. The Hampton, VA native had three games with five passing touchdowns in 2012, as he guided a Clemson offense that scored at least 37 points in 10 of 13 games. He was honored at the end of the 2012 regular season by being named a first-team All-American by Football Coaches Association, the first Clemson quarterback named a firstteam All-American by one of the five major services. Boyd has had incredible performances in big games, as evidenced by the fact he was the MVP of the 2011 ACC Championship game and the 2012 Chick-fil-A Bowl. He was most notably named ACC MVP in 2012. “When you look at Tajh Boyd’s track record, it shows improvement every year,” said Swinney. “He takes coaching very well. He studies the game and watches film of himself to get better. Knowledge, plus experience, plus talent, plus work ethic equals a great quarterback. He is also a natural leader of this entire team, not just the offense. He has become the face of this program.” The offensive line must replace four-year starting center Dalton Freeman, a first-team All-American by Football Writers Association, a second-team Academic All-American, and a two-time finalist for the Rimington Trophy. While Freeman and his leadership qualities are a major loss, the return of four starters on the offensive line does bring optimism. “We are finally reaching the point where we have some depth on the offensive line,” continued Swinney. “We have four starters back, but the players behind them also have some experience. Competition is good at any position, but especially on the offensive line. We have 12 returning lettermen. It is the depth that we used to see from Clemson teams when Danny Ford was the coach (1979-89).” The four returning starters up front have 61 combined starts. Eight of the 12 returning lettermen have played at least 10 games. Brandon Thomas was a First-Team All-ACC left tackle in 2012 and will be an All-America candidate as a senior.
IN 2012, TAJH BOYD HAD 10 RUSHING TOUCHDOWNS AND ACCOUNTED FOR 280 POINTS, SECOND-MOST IN THE COUNTRY.

He played 987 snaps on Clemson’s record-setting offense, more than any other 2012 Tiger. For his career, the native of Spartanburg, SC has played 36 games and 1,900 snaps. Joining Thomas at a starting tackle position is Gifford Timothy. In his first year (2012) as a starter, Timothy made 11 starts and played 820 snaps. Prior to 2012, Swinney said there were some offensive linemen who had to step up if Clemson was to be successful, and Timothy obviously was one of those key players who did. The returning starting guards are Tyler Shatley and David Beasley. Entering 2012, neither had started a game on the offensive line. Shatley played 939 snaps in starting all 13 games. Originally a fullback then a defensive lineman, Shatley is one of the strongest players on the team and is the only active Tiger to letter on both sides of the ball. He also was named to the 2012 All-ACC Academic team. Beasley, a junior from Columbus, GA, played just 30 snaps prior to 2012. But,he made a big move during August practices and started 12 games while playing 764 snaps. He made his move in the season-opener against Auburn when he played 89 snaps and had four knockdown blocks. Kalon Davis challenged Beasley this past spring and also has some starting experience. Ryan Norton is the favorite to move into the starting center position. The Simpsonville, SC native played 277 snaps in 12 games at center and offensive guard in 2012. He was named offensive rookie-of-the-year by the coaches, who are pleased with his versatility and athleticism. Clemson lost some outstanding receivers off the 2012 team, led by DeAndre Hopkins, who set nine school records. He was the #27 overall selection of the NFL draft by the Houston Texans. The Tigers also must replace productive tight end Brandon Ford, who had 40 receptions for 480 yards and a school-tight-end-record-tying eight receiving touchdowns. However, Clemson does have returning receivers who totaled 147 receptions for 1,593 yards and 13 touchdowns in 2012. The wide receiver position is led by All-American Watkins, who has 139 receptions for 1,927 yards and 15 touchdowns in his first two years at Clemson. He joins former Tigers Derrick Hamilton and DeAndre Hopkins as the only players in ACC history with at least 50 receptions as a freshman and sophomore. While Watkins did not have the production of his freshman season on a total basis, he still averaged 5.7 receptions and 71 yards per game, just below his 5.9 catches and 87 yards per game as a freshman. In games he and Hopkins both played, Watkins had 57 catches and Hopkins had 39. Watkins had a strong spring, including seven catches for 156 yards and two scores in the Spring Game. Adam Humphries is the second-leading returning receiver off a 41-catch season as a sophomore. He will also see action as a punt returner. Charone Peake returns after amassing 25 receptions for 172 yards, while Martavis Bryant is a big-play performer who averaged 30.5 yards per catch on 10 receptions in 2012. That average was best in the nation among receivers with a least 10 receptions. Sam Cooper was on target to be Clemson’s starting tight end, but the two-year letterman suffered a knee injury in the Spring Game and likely will be out for the year. Stanton Seckinger should now move into the starting lineup as a sophomore. He showed his speed with a 75-yard touchdown catch from Cole Stoudt in the Spring Game. Jordan Leggett enrolled in January and wasted no time getting into the mix at tight end. He had seven catches for 97 yards and a touchdown in the Spring Game. Darrell Smith is a reliable senior fullback who is also a big contributor on special teams. Clemson must replace three-year starter Andre Ellington as the primary running back. He had 3,436 career rushing yards, fourth-most in school history, just a few yards behind all-time great C.J. Spiller. He accounted for 33 rushing touchdowns, third-most in Tiger history, and averaged 5.4 yards per carry, sixth-best in school history. The leading returning rusher is actually Boyd, who had 514 yards on the ground and a team-high 10 rush-

ing touchdowns. But among the running backs, Roderick McDowell leads the way with 450 yards on 83 carries, good for a 5.4-yard average. He also totaled five rushing touchdowns. D.J. Howard is another experienced letterman who had 138 rushing yards during an injury-plagued season in 2012. Zac Brooks, a first-year freshman last season, returns after accumulating 119 rushing yards in 2012.
Defense Clemson showed improvement on defense in 2012 under Venables. The Tigers finished third in the ACC in scoring defense and second in conference games. Clemson was also first in the ACC in red-zone defense and first in fourth-down defense. The leading returning tackler on the defense is Shuey, a graduate linebacker. The Charlotte, NC native had just 17 tackles in the first five games of 2012, then had seven tackles in just 24 snaps in the win over Georgia Tech. Shuey turned in a 15-tackle performance against Virginia Tech that included 2.5 tackles for loss, a major reason Clemson defeated future Hall of Fame Coach Frank Beamer’s team by a score of 38-17. He finished the year with 93 tackles, just two short of the total accumulated by leading tackler Jonathan Willard, who played 181 more snaps.
DEFENSIVE END VIC BEASLEY, A MEMBER OF THE BEDNARIK AWARD WATCH LIST, HAD A TEAMHIGH EIGHT SACKS IN 288 SNAPS IN 2012.
Stephone Anthony is another returning leader at linebacker. He had 77 tackles in 459 snaps in 2012, an average of one tackle every six snaps. Anthony, also a native of North Carolina (Polkton), had four double-digit tackle games last year, including the game at #4 Florida State. Another returning linebacker with significant experience is Christian. The athletic senior started seven games in 2012 and had 40 tackles in 447 snaps. He was a big factor in midseason wins over Georgia Tech and Virginia Tech with 14 combined tackles. A player who will be heard from at linebacker is Kellen Jones, a sophomore who will be eligible in 2013 after transferring from Oklahoma and sitting out in 2012. He had some strong performances in preseason scrimmages last year. Returning lettermen Tony Steward and B.J. Goodson also return and will challenge for playing time. Clemson’s first line of defense returns three starters, Crawford, Watson, and Jarrett. Vic Beasley looks to start at defensive end after accumulating eight sacks as a reserve last year. DeShawn Williams, D.J. Reader, and Tavaris Barnes also give Clemson depth across the front. Crawford started all 13 games at defensive end in 2012 and had 47 tackles along with six tackles for loss. Watson might have led the defensive tackles in big plays last year. He had 54 tackles, most among the returning defensive linemen, 12 quarterback pressures, and a blocked kick. Jarrett was named co-MVP of the Clemson defense in 2012, quite an honor for a sophomore. He had a strong finish to the year with four tackles, including a sack in the bowl win over Louisiana State, and had 8.5 tackles for loss in 2012, most among returning defensive players. Williams, the son of former Clemson All-ACC running back Ronald Williams, had 50 tackles in five starts and played 370 snaps in 2012. He played one of his best games against Georgia Tech when he had seven tackles. Reader, also a baseball player at Clemson who played on two top-25 teams in his freshman year, was among the most productive players on defense with 40 tackles in just 236 snaps, good for one tackle every 5.9 snaps. Beasley was the surprise of the Clemson defense in 2012 with a team-high eight sacks in just 288 snaps. Three of those sacks came in the win over N.C. State and Mike Glennon. Barnes had 24 tackles as well. Clemson’s secondary will be led by Blanks, a returning starter. The native of Tallahassee, FL played outside linebacker and as a fifth defensive back much of last year, but is slated to start at safety in 2013. Blanks had 51 tackles, eighth-most on the team, in 2012. Bashaud Breeland and Garry Peters are two more returning secondary players who garnered significant experience in 2012. Breeland played 10 games and started five before missing the last two games with an injury. Peters saw more playing time in the second half of 2012 and

ended with 20 tackles and eight pass breakups, including two important deflections in the win over Louisiana State. Darius Robinson started six of the first seven games before missing the final six games with an injury. He had 13 tackles, one interception, and two pass breakups during the first half of the year. Robert Smith is a returning letterman at safety who had 14 tackles in 13 games. He might have had the best spring of all the secondary players and finished with seven tackles in the Spring Game. Martin Jenkins played 25 games during the 2010 and 2011 seasons, including three as a starter, and returns off a red-shirt season. He was a key contributor in the secondary on Clemson’s 2011 ACC Championship team.
GRADUATE PLACEKICKER CHANDLER CATANZARO IS A PRESEASON FIRSTTEAM ALL-AMERICAN BY SPORTING NEWS AFTER MAKING 18-19 FIELD GOALS IN 2012, INCLUDING THE GAME-WINNER IN THE CHICK-FIL-A BOWL.
Special Teams All-America candidate Chandler Catanzaro leads Clemson’s special teams. The senior from Greenville, SC made 18-19 field goals in 2012, as he was fourth in the nation in field-goal percentage (94.7). He owns 10 Tiger records overall and is coming off a season in which he led Clemson’s record-scoring team with 111 points. The preseason first-team All-American by Sporting News made 5-6 field goals from 40+ yards last year and has made 20-27 from that distance in his career. He needs just four field goals of 40+ yards to break all-time great Chris Gardocki’s Tiger record for field goals of 40+ yards.

2013 FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE
CLEMSONTIGERS.COM
STORY IDEAS All in the Family Clemson has five players that are offspring of former Tiger football players. The list includes Shaq Anthony, son of former Clemson defensive lineman Vernie Anthony (a letterman on Clemson’s 1981 National Championship team), Chad Richardson, son of former Tiger linebacker Chuckie Richardson, DeShawn Williams, son of former Clemson running back Ronald Williams (All-ACC running back from 1990-92), and Jerrodd Williams, son of former Clemson tight end Jerome Williams. Another Tiger, walkon Zach Riggs who is the son of former Clemson tight end Jim Riggs (two-time First-Team All-ACC tight end), is slated to join the team in the fall. Other current Tigers also have some connections to former NFL players. Jayron Kearse is the nephew of former NFL All-Pro defensive end Jevon Kearse, who played for the Tennessee Titans. He is also a cousin of NFL player Phillip Buchanon. Red-shirt freshman quarterback Chad Kelly is the nephew of former Buffalo Bill quarterback Jim Kelly, a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Second-team quarterback Cole Stoudt is the son of former Pittsburgh Steeler quarterback Cliff Stoudt. Seth Ryan, who is slated to join the team as a walk-on in the fall, is the son of current New York Jets Head Coach Rex Ryan. Coaching Alumni Clemson has three alums on the current coaching staff. The group includes Tony Elliott, Clemson’s running backs coach who played for the Tigers from 2000-03 and was one of the top wideouts on Clemson’s 2003 team that finished ranked in the top 25. He was an assistant on the 2011 ACC Championship team as well. Danny Pearman was a Clemson tight end from 1984-87 who played on two ACC title teams and later coached on one as a graduate assistant (1988) and full-time assistant (2011). Jeff Scott, Clemson’s wide receivers coach and recruiting coordinator, was a wide receiver and holder at Clemson from 200002 and was on the 2011 ACC Championship staff. The First State How many FBS teams have two starters from the state of Delaware? Starting defensive lineman Josh Watson is from Wilmington, DE and a graduate of John Dickinson High School. He started nine games in 2012 and had 54 tackles, more than any other Tiger defensive lineman. On the other side of the ball is starting offensive tackle Gifford Timothy, a native of Middletown, DE and a graduate of Middletown High School. Timothy started 11 games in 2012 for Clemson’s record-stetting offense that averaged 41 points per game.
D.J. READER BECAME THE EIGHTH TIGER IN HISTORY TO PLAY ON A TOP25 FOOTBALL AND TOP-25 BASEBALL TEAM IN ONE ACADEMIC YEAR IN 2012-13.
OVERVIEW
Tide Ties Four of the top coaches in Tiger football history are Alabama graduates. The list includes Frank Howard, the Clemson football legend who served as head coach from 1940-69 and won six league titles. He is the winningest coach in program history with 165 wins and is a 1930 Alabama graduate. Charley Pell coached at Clemson in 1977 and 1978 and was ACC Coach-of-the-Year both years. He was a member of Bear Bryant’s 1962 national title team. Danny Ford also played for Bryant (1967-69) and is a 1970 Alabama graduate. He led Clemson to a 96-294 mark from 1979-89 and the 1981 national title. Dabo Swinney, a 1992 Alabama graduate, is the current leader of the Tiger program. He led Clemson to the 2011 ACC Championship and an 11-2 record in 2012, Clemson’s most wins since Ford directed the 1981 Tigers to a 12-0 mark.
WIDEOUT DANIEL RODRIGUEZ IS ONE OF TWO FBS PLAYERS TO BE AWARDED A PURPLE HEART. Hometown Pipeline While Clemson has a national recruiting base, which included 2013 signees from Hawaii and New York, Dabo Swinney’s staff does not have to turn in an expense account when it evaluates the talent at Daniel High School in nearby Central, SC. In the last 13 years, that school has sent a long list of talented student-athletes to Clemson. The list includes three-time Academic All-American and two-time on-the-field All-American Kyle Young, All-ACC defensive tackle Jarvis Jenkins, now a starting defensive tackle for the Washington Redskins, and most recently 2013 first-round draft pick DeAndre Hopkins, who set the ACC record for receiving touchdowns (18) in 2012. This 2013 roster includes seven Daniel High School graduates, running back C.J. Davidson, linebacker D.J. Greenlee, defensive end Shaq Lawson, center Cody Thurlow, defensive tackle DeShawn Williams, and cornerback Jerrodd Williams. Walk-on wide receiver Adrian Dunn is slated to join the team in the fall as well.
Chandler Catanzaro The placekicker is a preseason first-team All-American according to Sporting News. He missed just one field goal in 2012 and made 18-19 for the season. However, he is not satisfied with that level of success. In an effort to become more flexible, he has spent many hours this summer doing yoga in his family home in Greenville. On occasion, his entire family has joined in a session. Kalon Davis This offensive lineman works in his off hours in a physical activity to help his team. The 6’5”, 330-pounder plays soccer to help with his conditioning and footwork. This is something that he has done since high school, and he has continued it at Clemson playing intramural soccer. Roderick McDowell He was born with a club foot, a congenital birth defect that affects the ability to walk and run. He had many operations to correct the problem when he was a youth, but today, his right foot is still smaller than his left foot. He has overcome those problems and is slated to be Clemson’s starting running back in 2013. D.J. Reader The sophomore spends his springs with the Clemson baseball team. A first-baseman by trade, he became just the eighth Tiger to play on a top-25 football team and top-25 baseball team in one academic year (2012-13). He played all 13 football games and had 40 tackles in just 236 snaps for the Tiger gridders, who finished ranked #9 in the nation, then played seven games off the bench as a pinchhitter and first-baseman on the baseball team, which finished ranked #25 in the country. He and former Tiger quarterback/outfielder Kyle Parker are the only Clemson athletes to do it in the last 18 years. Daniel Rodriguez The reserve sophomore wideout is one of two FBS players with a Purple Heart. He served the United States Army in Iraq and Afghanistan from 2006-10 and was a part of the Battle of Kamdesh in Afghanistan on October 3, 2009, when 300 Taliban insurgents battled with 38 United States troops. Eight Americans lost their lives and 22 were injured, including Rodriguez, in one of the most violent battles in the war. He earned a Purple Heart and the Bronze Star Medal With Valor Device for his heroism at Kamdesh. Tyler Shatley The starting offensive guard might be one the most versatile Tigers. You usually do not say that about a lineman, but Shatley came to Clemson as a fullback, lettered his first two years as a defensive lineman, then moved to offensive guard in 2012 and became a starter there in every game. He was rated as the #3 fullback in the nation by Tom Lemming out of high school after he scored 31 combined touchdowns as a junior and senior. He never played on the offensive line in high school and now he is starting for one of the top offenses in the nation. He also averaged 40.7 yards per punt in high school.

OVERVIEW
2013 CLEMSON SCHEDULE
Clemson’s 2013 schedule includes three games against teams that finished the 2012 season in the top 10 in the nation. Two of the three games against top-10 teams from 2012 will be non-conference opponents Georgia and South Carolina. Clemson and Nevada are the only schools in the nation scheduled to play two non-conference games against teams that finished 2012 in the top 10. Clemson will open with Georgia at home and close the year at South Carolina. The Tigers will also face a 2012 top10 Florida State team at Memorial Stadium on October 19. The Tigers will play two Thursday night games on ESPN, September 19 at N.C. State and November 14 at home against Georgia Tech. It will be Clemson’s first Thursday night home game since October 25, 2002, when Clemson hosted N.C. State, and just the third in history. It will be just the second year that Clemson plays a pair of Thursday night games. The 2002 season was the only other year it happened. With the two Thursday night games and a 14-week time span for the regular season due to the nature of the calendar, Clemson will not play on four Saturday’s. Clemson will not play on September 14, September 21, November 9, and November 16. Clemson will open at home against Georgia, the first meeting between the two longtime rivals since 2003. Georgia ended the 2012 season ranked #4 by USA Today. The programs had legendary games during the 197787 era when both were consistent top-15 teams. The two teams were 5-5-1 against each other during that era and the average victory margin was just 4.7 points per game. Nine of the 11 games were decided by seven points or less. After a game on September 7 against S.C. State, the Tigers will have 11 days to prepare for their first ACC game, a September 19 contest at N.C. State. The two teams played the second-highest scoring game in Clemson history in terms of combined points in a 62-48 Tiger win in 2011.
OVERVIEW
Clemson will return home for a September 28 game against Wake Forest. Clemson has defeated the Demon Deacons at home six consecutive times dating to 1998. The Tigers’ first game in October will be at Syracuse in what will be the first ACC game for the Orange. Syracuse will play in the ACC this year for the first time after competing in the Big East Conference every year since 1991. Clemson will return for home games on October 12 and October 19 against Boston College and Florida State, respectively. Clemson has won four of the last five games against Boston College, including each of the last two when the Tigers scored at least 36 points in each contest. The winner of the Clemson vs. Florida State game has gone on to win the ACC Atlantic Division title each of the last four years. The winner has gone on to win the ACC title each of the last two years as well. The Tigers have won five games in a row over the Seminoles in Memorial Stadium. Clemson will play road games on consecutive Saturdays for the only time all year when it plays at Maryland

HEAD COACH DABO SWINNEY
DABO SWINNEY
Head Coach 11th Season at Clemson 5th Full Season at Clemson as Head Coach Alabama ‘93
THE SWINNEY FILE Playing Experience Lettered three years at Alabama (1990-92); also a member of the 1989 team ... member of the 1992 National Championship team ... Academic All-SEC and SEC Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll member in 1990,92.
Bowl Participation as a Player 1990 Sugar Bowl ... 1991 Blockbuster Bowl ... 1991 Fiesta Bowl ... 1993 Sugar Bowl.
Education B.S. degree in commerce & business administration from Alabama in 1993 ... master of business administration from Alabama in 1995.
Coaching Experience At 43, Dabo Swinney is one of the youngest head coaches in the ACC and the country. However, his resumé is already stuffed with many significant accomplishments on a school, ACC, and national level. First, his mere appointment to the position was significant. In October of 2008, he was named Clemson interim head coach, replacing Tommy Bowden, who had been his position coach as a player at Alabama and was Clemson’s head coach since 1999. He led the Tigers to a 4-2 record over the remainder of the 2008 regular season, including a victory over Steve Spurrier’s South Carolina Gamecocks in the regular-season finale. That strong finish led to a Gator Bowl bid against Nebraska. On December 1, 2008, the interim tag was removed from the title and he was named the program’s head coach. At the time, there had been 28 interim head coaches at the FBS level since 1970 and those coaches had combined for a record of 26-86-2. Only one of those 28 interim coaches posted a winning record, and that was Swinney. When he was hired as the head coach, Swinney became just the second interim coach to be elevated to the head coach position at the same school during that time period. In five years (four full seasons) as the Tigers’ head coach, Swinney has directed Clemson to a 40-21 overall record (.656) and a 26-11 record (.703) in ACC regular-season games. He has also led the Tigers to the ACC Championship game twice, won one ACC Championship, won or shared three ACC Atlantic Division titles, and has been named national coach-of-the-year.

In addition to leading the program to five bowl games on the field in his young career, his players have also excelled in the classroom. Each of the last two seasons, Clemson has finished in the top 10 in the nation in APR scores. The 2012 season was a groundbreaking year for Swinney’s Tigers when looking at the overall consistency of the program. With an 11-2 overall record, including a 7-1 ACC mark, Clemson had back-to-back 10-win seasons for the first time since a four-year streak from 1987-90. The seven conference wins in the regular season set a school record. Clemson was co-champion of the ACC Atlantic Division and has won or shared the division crown three of the last four years. The school record for consecutive home wins (13) was also established, as was the record for consecutive wins by at least two touchdowns (7). With Clemson’s thrilling 25-24 win over #7 Louisiana State in the 2012 Chick-fil-A Bowl, the Tigers finished the season ranked #9 in the USA Today poll. It was Clemson’s first top-10 finish in one of the two major polls since 1990. Clemson also reached the 11-win mark for the first time since its 1981 National Championship season and for only the fourth time in school history. The Tigers were also #14 in the final BCS standings. It was the second straight year Clemson finished in the top 15 of the BCS standings, one of only eight schools who can make that claim each of the last two years. The 2012 campaign featured a record-setting offense. Clemson had six of the 11 offensive players on the All-ACC

first team chosen by media and over 80 school team and individual records. Leading the way was ACC Player-of-the-Year Tajh Boyd, who has been the starting quarterback in all 21 Clemson wins over the last two years. He joined starting center Dalton Freeman as first-team All-Americans according to AFCA, just the third time since 1945 that the AFCA firstteam All-America quarterback and center were from the same school. Boyd’s favorite wide receiver, DeAndre Hopkins, had 18 receiving touchdowns, second-most in the nation, and was as a second-team All-American. He was a big reason Clemson scored a school-record 533 points. For the third time in his first four full seasons as head coach at Clemson, Swinney was a finalist for the 2012 Liberty Mutual National Coach-of-the-Year. He was also one of 16 semifinalists for the 2012 national coach-of-the-year by the Maxwell Football Club of Pennsylvania and was the only ACC coach on the list. Swinney’s 2011 squad, which ended the season ranked #22 in the nation, captured Clemson’s first ACC title since 1991 when it defeated #3 Virginia Tech 38-10 in the ACC Championship game in Charlotte, NC. It tied for the highest-ranked team the Tigers have defeated in history and was the most points scored by an ACC team against Virginia Tech since it joined the league in 2004. The victory, the Tigers’ second over the Hokies in 2011, gave Clemson its first 10-win season since 1990. The Tigers’ four wins over top-25 ranked teams established a school record as well. The Tigers jumped out to an 8-0 record and a #6 national ranking after being unranked in the preseason. Games 3-5 marked a tough stretch, as Clemson hosted #19 Auburn, who entered with a national-best 17-game winning streak, and #11 Florida State along with a road game at #10 Virginia Tech.

HEAD COACH DABO SWINNEY
The Tigers were victorious in all three contests by scores of 38-24, 35-30, and 23-3, respectively, marking the first time in history that an ACC team won three consecutive games over top-25 ranked (AP) teams. Clemson also held Virginia Tech without a touchdown for the first time in a game at Blacksburg since 1995. For his efforts, he was named 2011 Bobby Dodd National Coach-of-the-Year to become the first Tiger head coach to win a national coach-of-the-year award since 1981, when Danny Ford led Clemson to the national title. Swinney, who was also one of five finalists for the Eddie Robinson National Coach-of-the-Year award, one of 10 finalists for the Bear Bryant National Coach-of-the-Year award, one of 10 finalists for the Liberty Mutual Coach-ofthe-Year award, and received the Regional AFCA Coachof-the-Year award in 2011, led the Tigers to their first Orange Bowl berth since 1981 with the help of five FirstTeam All-ACC players.
Dwayne Allen (TE), Boyd (QB), Andre Branch (DE), Freeman (C), and Sammy Watkins (WR) all earned first-team honors, while Andre Ellington (RB), Chandler Catanzaro (PK), and Brandon Thompson (DT) earned second-team honors. Watkins was also Second-Team All-ACC as a specialist. Allen received the John Mackey Award as the nation’s top tight end and totaled 50 receptions for 598 yards and eight touchdowns. Boyd set the school record for total yards (4,046), passing yards (3,828), and passing touchdowns (33). Branch, a finalist for the Ted Hendricks Award, had an ACC-best 17 tackles for loss and an ACC-high 10.5 sacks, including tying school-records for tackles for loss (6) and sacks (4) in Clemson’s win at #10 Virginia Tech. Freeman was a finalist for the Rimington Trophy as well. Watkins was one of the most dynamic freshmen in the nation. The ACC Rookie-of-the-Year totaled 82 receptions for 1,219 yards and 12 touchdowns along with a 25.0-yard

average and one touchdown on kickoff returns despite missing one game due to injury. Watkins teamed up with Andre Ellington to give Clemson a 1,000-yard receiver and 1,000-yard rusher, as Ellington had 1,178 rushing yards and 11 rushing touchdowns. Watkins was also an AP FirstTeam All-American, just the fourth in college football history as a first-year freshman. Swinney became just the second Tiger coach to lead Clemson’s program into a bowl game in his first two full years as head coach, joining his predecessor, Bowden. The 2010 schedule was one of the most challenging in school history, as nine bowl teams were on the regular-season slate and two of the four non-conference opponents were ranked in the top 25 when they played the Tigers, just the second time in 21 years the Tigers faced two top-25 nonconference opponents in the regular season. The 2010 season included wins over bowl teams Georgia Tech, Maryland, and N.C. State. N.C. State was ranked #23 in the nation and was leading the ACC in scoring. But the defense held N.C. State and Russell Wilson to just one touchdown and 13 points. The team excelled defensively in 2010 and was 13th in the nation in scoring defense and in the top 25 in both total defense and passing defense. C.J. Spiller was a unanimous first-team All-American in Swinney’s first year, and defensive end Da’Quan Bowers duplicated the feat on the defensive side of the ball. Bowers won the 2010 Bronko Nagurski Award as the nation’s top defensive player, and he received the Ted Hendricks Award as the country’s top defensive end. He was also a finalist for the Bednarik Award and Lombardi Award. He led the nation in sacks (15.5) and tied for the national lead in tackles for loss (26). Bowers was one of four First-Team All-ACC players in 2010, as he joined Jarvis Jenkins (DT) and DeAndre McDaniel (S) on defense and Chris Hairston (OT) on offense. Clemson and Maryland tied for the most First-Team AllACC selections. In 2009, Swinney’s first full year as head coach, he led the Tigers to their first championship of the ACC’s Atlantic Division. The Tigers came just six points short of winning their first ACC title in 18 years. Swinney was named ACC Coach-of-the-Year by Sporting News and was a finalist for the Liberty Mutual Coach-of-the-Year award.

COACHES
HEAD COACH DABO SWINNEY
Swinney won nine games, second-most among FBS coaches in their first full year. The nine wins tied for fourthmost in ACC history for a first-year head coach. He also led the Tigers to their first bowl win since 2005 in the 21-13 victory over Kentucky in the Music City Bowl. The Tigers reached the nine-win mark playing a schedule that included four games against top-15 opponents, just the second year in school history (1999 was the other) that Clemson played four games against teams ranked in the top 15 of the AP poll. The Tigers’ three FBS nonconference opponents had a combined record of 29-10 in 2009. Clemson gave TCU one of its stiffest tests in a 14-10 Horned Frog victory on September 26. Swinney’s first year 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 highest-ranked team Clemson has defeated on the road in school history. That was the second of six straight wins, the longest winning streak for the program in four years. The streak also included a 40-24 win over Florida State and Bobby Bowden, the Hall of Fame coach who is second in victories in FBS history. The winning streak brought Clemson to a #15 national ranking in the AP poll after the ACC Atlantic Division clinching victory over Virginia on November 21. The Tigers had success on offense, defense, and special teams during the 2009 season. They were 28th in the nation and third in the ACC in scoring offense (31.1), while the defense was 20th in total defense (314.3) and seventh in pass defense (162.8). Clemson finished in a tie for fifth in the country in interceptions (21) as well. Clemson added a school-record six kick returns for touchdowns in 2009, four on kickoff returns and two on punt returns. The main reason Clemson was so outstanding on special teams was the play of college football’s most dynamic player (Spiller) in 2009. The Tiger running back was named MVP of the ACC in 2009 and was a consensus first-team All-American. He had a school-record five kick returns for touchdowns in 2009 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 AllACC 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.

2010 (6-7) Swinney coached his wide receiver position to a level of consistency that had not been seen previously at Clemson. He had a wideout finish first or second in the ACC in catches in five of his six years as an assistant coach. In his first year, he had three of the top-10 receivers in the ACC, a first in Tiger history. He has coached a First or SecondTeam All-ACC wideout (Derrick Hamilton, Airese Currie, Chansi Stuckey, Aaron Kelly, Jacoby Ford, Watkins, Hopkins) in nine of his 10 seasons at Clemson, also an unprecedented feat at Clemson. In 2004 and 2005, he coached the ACC reception champion (Currie (2004), Stuckey (2005)). It was the first time Clemson had two different players lead the ACC in receptions in consecutive years. In 2007, Kelly led the ACC in yards, giving Swinney an ACC receiving king three out of four years. Stuckey earned First-Team All-ACC honors in back-to-back years, a first for a Tiger wideout in 25 years. The play of Swinney’s wideouts was a big reason Clemson led the ACC in total offense, rushing offense, and scoring offense in 2006, just the second time an ACC team led the conference in all three categories during the previous 25 seasons. The Tigers also led the league and set school records for yards per play (6.5) and touchdowns (55). In 2007, Swinney coached Kelly, a First-Team All-ACC selection who led the league in receiving yards per game and touchdown catches (11). He also finished second in receptions per game with a school-record 88 catches, tied for the second-highest total in ACC history. His 11 touchdown catches set a Tiger record as well. Kelly is Clemson’s career reception leader with 232 catches and is second in ACC history. He also has one of the highest totals in Tiger history in career touchdown receptions with 20. The Alabama native has a reputation as one of the country’s top recruiters. 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 recruiter. He signed 38 players in his five recruiting years as an assistant coach and was a major reason Clemson’s 2008 recruiting class was #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 into coaching in 2003

and has had a profound effect on his life. Both had followed similar paths as players, as Bowden was a walk-on at West Virginia and Swinney was a walk-on at Alabama. Swinney received a commerce & business administration degree from Alabama in 1993 after lettering three times (1990-92). A walk-on who went on to earn a scholarship, Swinney was a wide receiver on Alabama’s 1992 National Championship team. He was also named Academic All-SEC along with being an SEC Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll member in 1990 and 1992. Along with his appearance in the 1993 Sugar Bowl, his Alabama teams played in the 1990 Sugar Bowl, 1991 Fiesta Bowl, and 1991 Blockbuster Bowl. Both Sugar Bowl appearances came after winning the SEC title game. After his playing career, Swinney served as a graduate assistant from 1993-95 at Alabama, where he coached in the 1994 Gator Bowl and 1995 Citrus Bowl. In December of 1995, he received a master’s degree in business administration from Alabama. He became a full-time assistant coach at Alabama in February of 1996 under Head Coach Gene Stallings (now in the Hall of Fame) and coached a total of five years there on a full-time basis. He was assigned to coach the Crimson Tide’s wideouts and tight ends in 1996, a season that saw Alabama win the SEC Western Division title and make an Outback Bowl appearance. The following year, he solely coached the tight ends under Head Coach Mike DuBose. In 1998, he coached Alabama’s wide receivers, a position he held for three seasons. At the end of the 1999 campaign, Swinney coached the Crimson Tide in the 2000 Orange Bowl after winning the SEC Championship game. Wide receiver Freddie Milons was the game MVP. During his time at Alabama, Swinney was a part of six teams with at least 10 wins, five top-10 finishes, one national title (1992), three SEC Championships (1989,92,99), and five SEC Western Division titles (1992,93,94,96,99) as a player and coach. He has coached the #2 receiver at Alabama (Milons) along with the #1 (Kelly), #2 (Hopkins), and #3 (Hamilton) receivers in Tiger history. As an assistant coach, he had 20 former players either drafted or sign free-agent contracts with NFL teams. The list includes Hamilton, Currie, Kevin Youngblood, Stuckey, and Milons, an All-American at Alabama. From April of 2001 through February of 2003, Swinney was in private business in Alabama. He married the former Kathleen Bassett in 1994. They have three sons, Will (15), Drew (13), and Clay (10).

2000 Fiesta Bowl, 2001 Cotton Bowl, 2002 Citrus Bowl, and 2002 and 2003 Peach Bowls. Tennessee won three consecutive New Year’s Day Bowl games from 2000-02 as well. Under McCorvey’s leadership, Tennessee maintained the school’s reputation of having an outstanding rushing attack. The Volunteers led the SEC in rushing in 1999, averaging 191.3 yards per game. His work helped tailback Travis Stephens pace the SEC in rushing yards (1,464) in 2001. One year prior, McCorvey helped tailback Travis Henry finish second in the league and 14th in the nation in rushing yards (1,314). Another of his protegés was Jamal Lewis, who finished in the top five on the Tennessee career rushing list and was the #5 overall pick of the 2000 NFL draft. He has gone on to an All-Pro career in the NFL. Prior to joining the staff at Tennessee, McCorvey worked one season at South Carolina, where he served as the wide receivers coach in 1998 under former Tiger Assistant Coach Brad Scott. McCorvey took the South Carolina job following an eight-year stay at Alabama from 1990-97. He served seven seasons as its wide receivers coach and the 1996 campaign as offensive coordinator. He was the assistant head coach in 1997 as well. Alabama had five top-25 final rankings in his tenure, including three seasons in the top five. The Crimson Tide won the 1992 national title with McCorvey serving as wide receivers coach and Swinney as one of his studentathletes. That season culminated with a 34-13 win over heavily-favored Miami (FL) in the Sugar Bowl. Current Tiger Assistant Coach Danny Pearman was also on that staff. During the 1990-96 era, Alabama posted a 70-16-1 record and played in six bowl games. With McCorvey at the controls of the offense in 1996, Alabama finished 10-3, including a win over Michigan in the Outback Bowl. Alabama’s players flourished under his guidance. As offensive coordinator, running back Shaun Alexander established many school records and later went on to a Pro Bowl career with the Seattle Seahawks. In 1993, David Palmer established school records for catches and receiving yards along with earning first-team All-America honors. Palmer was third in the Heisman Trophy balloting, the highest finish in history for an Alabama player at the time. From 1979-82, he served as an assistant coach at Alabama A&M and helped that program to the #6 rushing offense in Division II in 1981 after finishing 11th in the nation in scoring offense in 1980. McCorvey began his collegiate coaching career at North Carolina Central in 1978. McCorvey began his coaching career with a six-year stint (1972-77) at J.M. Tate Senior High School in Florida. A quarterback at Alabama State from 1968-71, McCorvey earned his bachelor’s degree from Alabama State in 1972 and a master’s degree from West Florida in 1977. In 2010, McCorvey was inducted into the Atmore (AL) Hall of Fame. The Atmore, AL native is married to the former Ann Brown. The couple has a son, Marlon.

PRESIDENT JAMES F. BARKER
JAMES F. BARKER President Clemson ‘70
Jim Barker has worn almost every hat possible in his almost five decades as a member of the Clemson family student, athlete, alumnus, teacher, dean, parent, fan, and president. 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,” said Barker. A 1970 Clemson graduate, Barker was named president in 1999 with a mandate from the Board of Trustees to lead Clemson into the top ranks of American universities. During his inaugural address in April of 2000, he said, “I am convinced that there is no university in American 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 into the top-25 public universities in the U.S. News & World Report guide to “America’s Best Colleges.” The University has been recognized for value, affordability, and return on investment by Kiplinger’s, Smart Money, and Bloomberg Businessweek magazines. 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 percent 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. Barker is a leading voice in higher education for South Carolina and the nation. He served for four years on the NCAA Division I Board of Directors, three of them as Chair, and has also chaired the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges & Schools (SACS). He delivered a keynote address on CU-ICAR at a 2009 symposium in Washington D.C. on Global Best Practices in science and technology parks sponsored by the United States National Academy of Sciences, and at the Society for College & University Planning in October of 2010. For his leadership, Barker has received the Order of the Palmetto, South Carolina’s highest civilian honor, and The Cliff’s Business Person-of-the-Year Award from Greenville Magazine. He has also been awarded honorary doctorates from the Medical University of South Carolina, South Carolina State University, and Mars Hill College. A native of Kingsport, TN, Barker received his bachelor of arts degree from Clemson in 1970 and his master of architecture & urban design degree in 1973 from Washington University in Saint Louis, MO, which also recognized him with its Distinguished Alumnus Award. He is a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects and the Institute for Urban Design. As Clemson’s President, Barker remains committed to the classroom. Each spring, he is part of a team that teaches an undergraduate course exploring “a sense of place” in architecture, literature, and history. In his spare time, what there is of it, he 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. Barker and his wife, Marcia, have two sons, Britt and Jacob, a daughter-in-law, Rita Bolt Barker, and two granddaughters, Madeline and Eliza.

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS DAN RADAKOVICH
DAN RADAKOVICH Director of Athletics 1st Full Season at Clemson Indiana (PA) ‘80
It has not taken long for Clemson fans to understand the level of respect Dan Radakovich has on a national level. Just seven months after he opened his Jervey Athletic Center door, he was named by NCAA President Mark Emmert as one of 10 athletic directors from around the nation to a new advisory commission that will be charged with making recommendations as to the future of NCAA rules and policies. Radakovich became Clemson’s 13th director of athletics on December 1, 2012. He came to Clemson with a wealth of experience after serving in significant athletic administrative roles at Miami (FL), Long Beach State, South Carolina, and Louisiana State in addition to athletic directorships at American University and Georgia Tech. His athletic administrative career spans over 25 years. Radakovich came to Clemson from nearby Georgia Tech, where he served with distinction for six years (200612). Just Clemson’s fifth athletic director since 1940, he replaced Terry Don Phillips, who retired after over 10 years directing the Tiger program. “Dan Radakovich understands the academic, business, and competitive aspects of college athletics,” said Clemson President Jim Barker in making the announcement of his appointment on October 29, 2012. “He knows what it takes to win championships, he has a proven track record in fundraising and revenue growth, and he is committed to compliance and student-athlete welfare. He has been successful in the ACC and SEC, and

he is known and respected among coaches and athletic directors nationwide.” The Tiger program had a strong finish to the 2012-13 academic year under his guidance. The program finished with eight different teams achieving top-25 status. There were two ACC Championships recorded by the women’s track program. Both indoor track teams had top-25 finishes and both tennis teams had top-25 finishes in the spring. During his career at Georgia Tech, the Yellow Jackets had 51 teams advance to either NCAA Tournament play or bowl games in his six years. That includes five sports (football, women’s basketball, softball, women’s tennis, men’s golf ) that made the postseason every year that he was in Atlanta. The baseball program missed just once.
STAFF
Eleven different sports programs finished in the top 25 of at least one major poll 27 times. That includes a National Championship women’s tennis program in 2007, just the second NCAA team title in school history. There were 14 ACC titles celebrated in addition to nine regular-season conference or division titles. The football program played in a bowl game each year he was at Georgia Tech, including the 2010 Orange Bowl, the program’s first BCS-level bowl appearance since the 1967 Orange Bowl. On an individual basis, the program had 51 first-team All-Americans in 10 different sports, 30 academic AllAmericans, two national coach-of-the-year selections, and two national player-of-the-year selections. The program had 13 ACC Coach-of-the-Year and 13 ACC Player-of-theYear choices as well. The construction of new facilities or upgrades to existing ones was a focus of Radakovich’s tenure with the Yellow Jacket program and it certainly will be at Clemson as well. The John & Mary Brock Football Practice Facility, which opened in 2011, and McCamish Pavilion, which opened for basketball in 2012, are two of the top facilities of their kind in college athletics. Radakovich also saw the completion of Shirley Clements Mewborn Field, home for Georgia Tech’s softball program, which was unveiled prior to the start of the 2009 season. The Zelnak Center, a practice facility for Georgia Tech basketball, was in place prior to the start of the 200910 season. Other facility upgrades under Radakovich include the transformation of Georgia Tech’s former football locker room on the ground floor of the Edge Athletic Center into a new Technology Center, which benefits academic support services for all student-athletes, and cosmetic and functional improvements to Bobby Dodd Stadium. Radakovich also initiated the Athletic Director’s Initiative Fund, started in 2006, which raised cash and pledges of more than $12 million. The native of Alliquipa, PA was first made aware of Clemson athletics through the basketball exploits of Butch Zatezalo, who was also from the same town. Zatezalo was a three-time All-ACC player whose legendary 25-point scoring nights received a lot of attention in Pennsylvania in the 1960s when Radakovich was a youth. Prior to his tenure at Georgia Tech, Radakovich worked as a senior associate athletic director at Louisiana State from 2001-06. He had many responsibilities that dealt with the football program and worked closely with then Head Coach Nick Saban, including the year the Tigers won the National Championship (2003). Radakovich became a director of athletics for the first time at American University in Washington, D.C. in 2000. Between 1994-00, Radakovich served as chief financial officer at South Carolina. During that time, he worked with current Clemson football administrators Woody McCorvey and Brad Scott. Radakovich gained experience on the West Coast from 1989-94, when he was a senior associate athletic director with the Long Beach State program. He got his start in administration at Miami (FL) in 1983 as the athletic business manager. His resumé includes experience in private business in the early 1980s, working in the Miami area for Ernst & Whinney CPA firm, The Travelers Insurance Company, and Margaretten & Company, a mortgage banker. Radakovich is a 1980 graduate of Indiana (PA), where he earned a bachelor of science degree in finance. He was also a football letterman and student coach with the Crimson Hawk program. He was enshrined into the Beaver County Sports Hall of Fame in 2008 and was recognized as a distinguished alumni from Indiana (PA) in 2009. He earned his master’s degree in business administration from Miami (FL) in 1982. Radakovich, born on June 9, 1958, and his wife, Marcie, have two children, Christian (23), a 2012 Georgia Tech graduate, and Grant (19), a student-athlete who plays football at Mercer.

NCAA COMPLIANCE
This brief NCAA rules education is aimed at outlining basic rules to help potential students-athletes, parents, and boosters better understand the regulations. Clemson is committed to recruiting and conducting our athletic program with the highest level of integrity. If you have questions, contact Clemson’s compliance services at (864) 656-1580, compliance-L@clemson.edu, or visit our website (ClemsonTigers.com).
UNIVERSITY
COMPLIANCE SERVICES STAFF
Are You a Booster? The NCAA definition of a “representative of athletics interest” generally encompasses most individuals who regularly attend Clemson sporting events (reminder - once a representative, always a representative). Specifically, a booster or “representative of athletics interests” is any individual, independent agency, corporate entity, or other organization that is presently or has ever: • Participated in promoting the institution’s athletic program (such as buying season tickets to sporting events). • Assisted in providing benefits (such as summer employment) to enrolled student-athletes. • Assisted or been requested by the department of athletics staff to assist in the recruitment of prospective student-athletes. • Attended Clemson University. • Contributed to the department of athletics or IPTAY. • Participated in or been a member of IPTAY. • Been otherwise involved in the Clemson University athletics program.
Ask Before You Act Prospective student-athletes may... • Identify outstanding potential student-athletes in your area and forward information, such as newspaper articles, to the coach of that sport at Clemson. • Continue to establish friendships with friends and neighbors, even those with prospect-aged children. However, contact with those individuals for recruiting purposes is still prohibited. • Attend, on your own initiative, events such as games and banquets where prospective student-athletes are present as long as you do not contact the prospect(s) or their family for recruiting purposes. • Answer a call from a prospective student-athlete (you may not initiate the call) regarding only Clemson University in general, but not about Tiger athletics. Please promptly inform compliance services or the coach should this situation arise. • Make donations to a high school if it is located in your community, the donation is not made at the request of Clemson or Clemson coaches, and the funds are distributed through established channels and not directed towards a specific student-athlete.
CUAD MISSION STATEMENT The Department of Athletics offers nationally prominent athletic programs. Through a dedicated commitment to educational interests, a competitive athletic program, and integrity in all areas, the student-athletes, coaches, and staff strive to bring credit and recognition to Clemson University.

Activities That Will Harm Prospective Student-Athletes You may not... • Contact (including phone calls, texts, email) or interact with a prospective student-athlete or family members for the purpose of persuading them to attend Clemson University. • Contact coaches, teachers, guidance counselors, or other school administrators in order to gain information on prospective student-athletes. • Make contact with a prospective student-athlete or the prospect’s family during official or unofficial visits. • Provide any other extra benefits to a prospective student-athlete, family, friends, or their coaches. • Provide prospective student-athletes or their family and friends with transportation or financial assistance.
Activities That Will Harm Current Student-Athletes What Every Booster Should Know • Extra Benefit - Any special arrangement by a Clemson employee, booster (IPTAY member), or alum to provide a prospective or enrolled student-athlete or their families/ friends with a benefit not permitted by NCAA legislation.

Institutional control requires that Clemson University conducts its intercollegiate athletics program in compliance with NCAA rules and regulations. This includes booster activities. • Prospective Student-Athlete - A student, regardless of their athletic ability, who has started classes for the ninth grade or any student enrolled at another two or four-year institution. • Recruiting - Any solicitation of a prospect or a prospect’s family by Clemson’s coaches or representatives of athletic interest for the purposes of securing the prospective student-athlete’s ultimate enrollment and participation in athletics at Clemson. Only designated Clemson athletics department staff members may recruit. • Student-Athlete - A student whose enrollment was solicited by a Clemson athletic department staff member or other representative of athletics interest with a goal of the student’s ultimate participation in Clemson’s ath-
You may not... • Generally provide benefits that are not available to other members of the Clemson student body. • Provide extra benefits to student-athletes or their family and friends. Examples of prohibited benefits include (but not limited to): • Gifts of money, awards, food/drinks, occasional meals, or other tangible items. • Free or reduced housing agreements. • Loans of money or automobiles. • Providing transportation for the student-athlete or their family and friends. • Professional services without charge or at a discount. • Promises of employment or loans following college graduation. • Sending student-athletes items to be autographed and returned or using autographed items to raise funds for high schools. • Use of ATM, credit, or other types of gift cards. • Use the name/image of a current student-athlete to advertise, recommend, or promote products/services.
Consequences Violations of these NCAA, ACC, and University policies can result in severe penalties, including: • Disassociation - Clemson University may permanently disassociate itself with an athletic booster. You could lose the privilege of purchasing season tickets, the privilege of being an IPTAY member, or any other Clemson athletic-related benefit deemed appropriate. • Harm to the Enrolled Student-Athlete - Violations can also result in the enrolled student-athlete or entire team being unable to compete for Clemson University.

Academic Commitment Tiger student-athletes posted a school-record 2.99 GPA for the 2013 spring semester according to data released by the Office of Institutional Research & Planning, tied for the highest semester GPA. A record-tying eight programs had at least a 3.0 GPA and two others were 2.95 or better. The football program had a 2.60 GPA, just below the record of 2.63 set in the spring of 2008.

A total of 61 student-athletes graduated from Clemson in May of 2012, including 12 members of Clemson’s 2011 ACC Championship football team. Eighteen of the 20 seniors on that team already have their degrees.
ACC behind Duke (989). Northwestern had the best in the nation at 996, followed by Boise State at 993. Clemson was the only program to finish in the top 10 of the USA Today poll and post an APR score of at least 980 in 2012. The 1000 APR score for Larry Penley’s golf program was its third perfect score, the only perfect scores for a Clemson program since the APR data began.

It was 11th straight top-25 season for Head Coach Nancy Harris, tied for the second-longest streak by a coach in school history. • Clemson finished in the top 25 at the NCAA Indoor Track Championships in both men and women’s. • Clemson’s baseball team won 40 games, including six against teams that played host to an NCAA Regional, and was selected for the NCAA Tournament for the 26th time in the last 27 years. The Tigers had a #25 final ranking in the USA Today coaches poll. • The Tiger football team won 11 games, most since the 1981 National Championship season, and finished with its first top-10 ranking since 1990. • The Tiger football team had four All-Americans, the most since the 2000 team, which also had four. • Tajh Boyd was named ACC Player-of-the-Year and firstteam All-American by AFCA. DeAndre Hopkins was a second-team All-American and was a first-round NFL draft pick. • Brianna Rollins won her third career national title when she won the 100m hurdles at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in a NCAA record time of 12.39. She also won the 60m hurdles indoors. • All-America sophomore Yana Koroleva reached the final eight of the NCAA tennis singles tournament, the furthest a Lady Tiger advanced in that event since 2005.
APR Scores Clemson’s football program has an APR score of 985 according to data released by the NCAA, tied with Wisconsin for the highest APR score among the top-25 U.S. News & World Report public institutions. Clemson was tied for #4 in the nation among FBS schools, trailing only Northwestern, Boise State, and Duke. Overall, 13 of Clemson’s 19 sports programs had APR scores of 975 or better, tied for the most on record for one academic year. All 19 sports were over the 930 threshold set by the NCAA.

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. And in 2012, BleacherReport.com rated Memorial Stadium as the best stadium in the country. The storied edifice added to its legend when the first meeting of father and son head coaches (Bowden Bowl I) took place before a record crowd of more than 86,000 fans in 1999. Clemson has been in the top 20 in the nation in average attendance 32 straight seasons. A crowd has exceeded 80,000 fans 64 times since the 1983 season. In 2012, Clemson was 14th in the nation in average home attendance. The legend was further enhanced in 2011 when the Tigers had a perfect 7-0 record at home and recorded victories over defending National Champion Auburn and #11 Florida State on consecutive weekends. Defending National Champions are 0-3 all-time at Memorial Stadium. Clemson had a 13-game winning streak at home from 2011 to 2012, setting a record for the facility. 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. The Tigers have won 269 games in 71 years and have won over 72 percent of the contests (269-100-7).

The stadium has definitely been good to the Tigers, but it was constructed against the advice of at least one coach. 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. On September 19, 1942, Memorial Stadium opened with Clemson defeating Presbyterian College 32-13. Those 20,000 seats installed for the opener would soon grow. When the original part of the stadium was built in the early 1940s, much of the work was done by scholarship athletes, including many football players. The first staking out of the stadium was done by two members of the 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 construction of Memorial Stadium did not proceed without problems. One afternoon during the clearing of the land, a young player proudly announced that he was not allergic to poison oak. He then proceeded to attack the poison oak with a swing blade, throwing the plants to and

DEATH VALLEY QUOTES “Running down the Hill is still talked about everywhere I go. Players who played against Clemson when I was in college remember us running down the Hill and thinking we would gain some type of spirit on the field. The adrenalin rush was unbelieveable for a Clemson player and quite a shock for the opponent on gameday.” Former Clemson All‑American Jerry Butler “I came here knowing it would be loud and Clemson would hit hard, but the noise was the biggest factor. I didn’t concentrate as well because of it.” Herschel Walker after his only regular-season loss “Howard’s Rock has strange powers. When you rub it and run down the Hill, your adrenaline flows. It is the most emotional experience I have ever had.” All‑American & six‑time All‑Pro 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 “Death Valley really lives up to its image. I was impressed with this stadium. When you put over 80,000 people in there, it feels like they are on top of you. I’d hate to be whoever comes here to play Clemson.” San Francisco quarterback Steve Young “Florida was loud in the swamp. But the loudest, not only stadium, but the loudest place I’ve ever been around in my life was Death Valley. I was yelling at the top of my lungs and I couldn’t 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.” Florida State quarterback Chris Rix, 2001 “In 2005, Memorial Stadium, commonly known as ‘Death Valley,’ reached an astounding 126 decibels when a packed crowd saw Charles Bennett’s sack of Kyle Wright in the Tigers’ game against Miami (FL). This level easily surpassed the old record of 121 decibels set by Louisiana State fans in Tiger Stadium, which holds nearly 11,000 more 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. 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 doesn’t take a back seat to any place. In terms of the atmosphere, stadium, noise, and facilities, this is a special place on a Saturday night.” ESPN commentator Todd Blackledge, 2009
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 awhile. 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 Memorial 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 over 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. Memorial Stadium’s newest upper deck
CLEMSONTIGERS.COM
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 McMillian in the late 1940s. After bringing his teams to Clemson for years and getting whipped, he said
the place was like “Death Valley.” A few years later, the name stuck. In 1974, the playing surface was named Frank Howard Field for the legendary coach, because of his long service and dedication to Clemson University. Luckily, it wasn’t built behind the YMCA.

RUNNING DOWN THE HILL
What has been described as“the most exciting 25 seconds in college football” from a color and pageantry standpoint actually started out as a matter-of-fact entrance, mainly because of necessity. The first 20,000 seats in Memorial Stadium were built and ready for use before the 1942 season, less than a year after Pearl Harbor was bombed and the United States was drawn into World War II. The shortest entry into Memorial Stadium was a short walk down Williamson Road from Fike Fieldhouse’s dressing rooms to a gate at the top of the Hill, located behind the east endzone. There were no dressing facilities inside the west endzone of Memorial Stadium...there was only a giant clock, where the hands turned, and a scoreboard that was operated by hand. The team would dress in Fike Fieldhouse, walk down Williamson Road, come in the gate underneath where the scoreboard now stands, and jog down the Hill for its warmup exercises. There was no fanfare, no cannon shot fired, no Tiger Paw flag, no “Tiger Rag” played...just the team making its entrance and lining up to do the side-straddle hop. That is pretty much the way things went for the next 25 years. Either in 1964 or 1965, S.C. Jones, a member of the class of 1919, made a trip to California. He stopped at a spot in Death Valley, CA and picked up a white flint rock. He presented it to Head Coach Frank Howard as being from Death Valley, California to Death Valley, South Carolina. The rock laid on the floor in Howard’s office in Fike 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!”

2013 FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE
Willimon did not think that was the way a rock should be treated. After all, it had been brought 2,200 miles by a very sincere Tiger fan. By the mid-1960s, Memorial Stadium was living up to its moniker (“Death Valley”) because of the number of Tiger wins that had been recorded there. Actually, the name was first used by Lonnie McMillian, head coach at Presbyterian College during the 1940s.
McMillian and the other Blue Hose coaches before him used to open each season by playing at Clemson. Seldom scoring (24 shutouts in 39 games) and with only three wins and four ties to show for it, his teams were getting “killed” by the Tigers regularly. In 1948, McMillian made the comment to the press that he was taking his team to play Clemson in “Death Valley.” An occasional reference to Memorial Stadium by that name

RUNNING DOWN THE HILL
could be heard for the next four years, but when Howard started calling it “Death Valley” during the 1950s, the name took off like wildfire. Clemson celebrated its 70th year in the “Valley” in the 2011 season with a perfect 7-0 home record. But getting back to Howard’s Rock. It was mounted on a pedestal at the top of the Hill on the east side of the stadium. It was unveiled on September 24, 1966 when Clemson played Virginia. The Tigers trailed 18 points with 17 minutes left and came back to win 40-35 on a 75-yard pass from Jimmy Addison to Jacky Jackson in the fourth quarter. That was quite a debut for the Rock. The team members started rubbing Howard’s Rock prior to running down the Hill on September 23, 1967, a day when Clemson defeated Wake Forest by a score of 23-6.
CLEMSONTIGERS.COM
TRADITIONS
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 itI” Howard told of the incident 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 years mentioned above and the first game of 1973 (360 times entering 2013). 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 carried by cheerleaders and Rally Cats, the band forms two lines for the team to run between and strikes up “Tiger Rag”...the frenzy starts in all sincerity and usually lasts for three hours. It is a tradition that has inspired Clemson players for many years.

STRENGTH & CONDITIONING
A significant aspect of Phase II of the WestZone project at Memorial Stadium was the construction of a new strength training facility on the first floor that is adjacent to the Clemson locker room and the Frank Howard Field playing surface. For the first time, there is a strength training facility exclusively for the development of the Clemson football team. Director of Football Strength & Conditioning Joey Batson, who is in his 17th season at Clemson, makes sure that all Tiger gridders are ready to compete against the top teams in the nation. In his first 16 years in Tigertown, Clemson has played in 14 bowl games and he has coached 23 strength All-Americans on the gridiron. It is the fourth major facilities construction since Batson joined the Tiger football program, an example of his desire to keep Clemson at the forefront of strength training.

The new facility has the best in all strength training equipment, not to mention the existence of a new sound system and nine new flat-screen televisions that give Tiger football players a pleasant atmosphere to accomplish the most strenuous work. The strength training facility at Memorial Stadium actually has two floors. The first has all the free-weight equipment, including a dumbbell area, and the second has cardio-equipment. Batson has a staff of four assistants working with the football squad. Joining Batson are veteran Strength Coaches Larry Greenlee, Paul Hogan, and Adam Smotherman along with Graduate Assistant Chris Shatley and three student assistants, Hunter Hughes, Daniel Kirwin, and Brandon Mahon. In 2012, Greenlee was named a Master Strength Coach.

INDOOR PRACTICE FACILITY
When fans envision an indoor practice facility like the one that was completed for the Clemson football team in 2013, certain stereotypes come to mind. Common perceptions are largely simplistic in nature, and the idea that a facility that is solely for game preparation, out of the gaze of onlookers, carries a large amount of importance seems crazy. But the facility was never about football alone. In fact, the $10 million structure serves to unify the athletic department, while providing Tiger football with a cuttingedge structure that helps complete a nationally-relevant program. On its face, the facility does exactly what it purports to do...provide a place for Head Coach Dabo Swinney to take his football team in case of inclement weather without disrupting a schedule of events that is packed full on a daily

basis. It equips the Tigers with a lavish place to prepare for opponents in a game-like atmosphere. “It makes a huge impact,” said Swinney. “We will never miss a day again. It is great for our offseason program and our recruiting. It’s another step toward being and providing the absolute best for our players.” The building houses an 80,000-square-foot practice area that includes a full football field. The field is surrounded by ample sideline space to provide a comfortable environment. In order to simulate a gameday experience, there is a fully-functional, game-ready scoreboard inside the facility along with four play-clocks and a videoboard equal to the size of the new videoboards in two corners of Memorial Stadium that rests above the west endzone. High above the fields, on the second story of the nearly 70’ structure, is a long coaches platform so that practice
can be viewed from above. In addition, by way of a short corridor, the platform extends to the back side of the building, so that any drills taking place outside on the other two practice fields can be properly seen from inside the building. The state-of-the-art facility has some amenities that make it an attractive piece of the Clemson football program’s recruiting strategy. Visitors are greeted by a formal entry to the building that includes a guest area. This portion of the facility is used to entertain recruits, their families, and any visitors. There is also an overlook onto the indoor practice field above the guest area on the second floor. The indoor facility, which includes more than 5,000 square feet of support, also contains a small strength & conditioning area and a training room.

TRADITIONS
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 and was the only team with three top-10 wins. • 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. • 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 only 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.

ACC FOOTBALL
The ACC’s geographic footprint is the most viable market in the country when you consider: • Largest total population - ACC has over 107 million with the next closest at 92 million. This is important when you consider television viewers, ticket buyers, future students, recruits, etc. • Future growth - In last 10 years, five states within the ACC footprint have seen double-digit growth for the 15-34 age demographic, and by 2030 (according to the United States census), over half the population will reside within the ACC footprint.
Academic Excellence • Of the ACC’s future 15-member league, 10 schools are among the top-58 institutions in the 2013 U.S. News & World Report survey of “America’s Best Colleges,” more than any other conference also competing at the highest level athletically. The next closest conference features seven institutions in the top 58. • Four of the top-10 FBS schools in terms of APR scores are in the ACC. That includes Clemson at #4. • In terms of overall APR by conference, the ACC has had the top score seven years in a row.
ACC DIVISIONAL TIEBREAKER PROCEDURE Two-Team Tie 1. Head-to-head between the two tied teams. 2. Records of the tied teams within the division. 3.

Multiple ties within the division broken from first to last. 4. Overall record versus all common non-divisional opponents. 5. Combined record versus all non-division teams. 6. Record versus common non-divisional teams based on their order of finish (divisional and non-divisional) and proceeding through other common non-divisional teams based on their order of finish within their division. 7. The tied team with the highest ranking in the Bowl Championship Series standings following the end of regular-season games shall be the divisional representative in the ACC Championship Game. 8. The representative shall be chosen by a draw.

(Virginia), #6 Georgia (Clemson, Georgia Tech), #7 Florida (Florida State, Miami (FL)), #9 Notre Dame (Pittsburgh), and #10 South Carolina (Clemson, North Carolina). • 2014 and beyond - Beginning in 2014, the ACC will play five games annually against Notre Dame. As strengthof-schedule continues to be emphasized in the future of postseason football, this is a further enhancement for ACC football.
ACC Football • The ACC and SEC are the only two conferences to have 30+ players drafted in each of the last nine years of the NFL draft. • The ACC and SEC hold the record for the most players selected in the first round of a draft with 12 and are the only two conferences to have 50 or more players taken in a single draft. • The SEC (26) and ACC (20) led all leagues with players on 2012 Pro Bowl rosters. • In 2013, the ACC will play 11 games against non-conference opponents that finished the 2012 season ranked in the top 25 and nine games against non-conference teams ranked in the final Associated Press top 10, including contests against each of the top-four teams in the USA Today final poll. Nine contests are against teams projected by ESPN in its early top 10 for the 2013 season.
3. Head-to-head competition versus the team within the division with the best overall (divisional and non-divisional) conference record, and proceeding through the division. Multiple ties within the division will be broken first to last. 4. Overall record for non-division teams. 5. Combined record versus all common non-divisional teams. 6. Record versus common non-divisional with the best overall conference (divisional and non-divisional record) and proceeding through the other common non-divisional teams based on their order of finish within the division. 7. The tied team with the highest ranking in the Bowl Championship Series standings following the conclusion of regular-season games shall be the divisional representative in the ACC Championship Game, unless the second of the tied teams is ranked within five-or-fewer places of the highest-ranked tied team. In this case, the head-to-head results of the top two ranked tied teams shall determine the representative in the ACC Championship Game. 8. The representative shall be chosen by a draw.
• The ACC faces the toughest 2013 schedule of any FBS conference - ACC teams will play 56 games against 48 non-conference opponents which had a combined winning percentage of 55.8 in 2012, by far the highest of any of the BCS automatic qualifying conferences, including 43 games against FBS opponents who won 56.6 percent of their games in 2012, also the highest. • ACC to play nine games ESPN’s early preseason top 10 - ACC teams will play nine non-conference games against six teams picked by ESPN in its early preseason top 10, including #1 Alabama (Virginia Tech), #5 Oregon
Television • ACC has more total television households and wired television households than any other conference. • ACC has more top-30 markets than all other conferences (ACC has 13 in the top-30 markets and the next highest has 10 in the top 30). • With ESPN as our partner, we are extraordinarily well-positioned as we look to the future. There is no conference more-widely distributed than the ACC, and our content can be seen anywhere, anytime, anyplace.
FOR THE FOURTH TIME, THE ACC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME WILL BE PLAYED AT BANK OF AMERICA STADIUM IN CHARLOTTE, NC ON DECEMBER 7, 2013.

2012 SEASON NOTES
Double-Digit Wins Clemson recorded its 10th victory of the year, including its seventh in a row, in a 62-48 win over N.C. State on November 17. It was the first time since the 1987-90 era that Clemson had consecutive 10-win seasons. In 2011, Clemson had a 10-4 record and won the ACC title. Clemson has nine seasons of 10+ wins in history. The first double-digit victory season came in 1948, when Frank Howard’s team had a perfect 11-0 record, including a Gator Bowl win over Missouri. Clemson also won the Southern Conference that year. The record for wins in a season is 12, set by the 1981 team. That team was 11-0 in the regular season, then beat #4 Nebraska in the Orange Bowl to win the national title. The win over the Wolfpack gave Clemson 10 wins in the regular season for the first time since 1981. Clemson has won 10+ games in the regular season just four times (1948, 1978, 1981, 2012). The Tigers’ 25-24 win in the Chick-fil-A Bowl over #7 Louisiana State gave Clemson its fourth season of 11 wins or more.

Back-to-Back 10-Win Seasons Clemson recorded back-to-back 10-win seasons in 2011 and 2012. The Tigers were 10-4 in 2011 and won the ACC Championship with a 38-10 victory over #3 Virginia Tech. In 2012, Clemson was 11-2, including a 7-1 ACC record that tied for the Atlantic Division title. It was the first time Clemson had consecutive 10-win seasons since the 1987-90 era, when Clemson had four consecutive 10-win seasons. In all four of those years, Clemson won the 10th game in a bowl game. Tigers Finished in BCS Top 15 Again Clemson was #14 in the final BCS standings, released on December 2. It marked the third time in the last six years that Clemson finished in the top 15 of the BCS standings and the fourth time overall. Clemson was #15 in 2011 and #15 in 2007. The 2000 season is the only other year Clemson had a top-15 finish in the BCS standings. Clemson is tied for ninth in the nation for the most top-15 BCS finishes since 2007. Louisiana State and Okla-
homa have the most with five, while Alabama, Boise State, Florida, Ohio State, Oregon, and Virginia Tech are tied for third with four apiece. Clemson, Georgia, Oklahoma State, Stanford, and TCU all have three top-15 finishes apiece during that time period. Tigers Tied Home Winning Streak Record Clemson tied the school record for consecutive wins (12) in Memorial Stadium with its victory over Maryland on November 10. The Tigers increased it to 13 in a row with a victory over N.C. State the following weekend. That set the Tiger record for consecutive wins at Memorial Stadium and tied the school record for the longest home winning streak in Clemson history, regardless of site. South Carolina ended the streak on November 24 with a 27-17 win. 700 Club Clemson gained 718 yards (334 rushing, 384 passing) at Duke on November 3. It was just the second time in school history Clemson totaled at least 300 rushing yards and 300 passing yards in the same game. The first instance was in a 70-14 win over Central Michigan, led by Head Coach Butch Jones, in 2007. Therefore, it was the first time Clemson accomplished the feat on the road and the first time it was accomplished in an ACC game. Then in the win over N.C. State, the Tigers did it again. Clemson amassed 754 yards (328 rushing, 426 passing). Overall, it was the second-highest total offense game in school history and is topped only by the 756 yards the Tigers gained in a win over Wake Forest in 1981. That day, Clemson had a school-record 536 rushing yards and 220 passing yards in the 82-24 win at Death Valley. Clemson had an incredible 487 yards on 43 plays in the first half at Duke, then had 441 yards in the first half against N.C. State. Those are the top two halves in Clemson history in terms of total offense. There have been just 13 games in ACC history in which a team had at least 700 yards. Clemson did it twice in 2012.

WITH ITS WIN OVER #7 LOUISIANA STATE IN THE CHICK-FIL-A BOWL, CLEMSON REACHED THE 11-WIN MARK FOR THE FOURTH TIME. Winning Total Offense an Indicator Clemson had a 10-0 record in 2012 when it outgained the opposition (yards) and is 20-0 over the last two years. The 20-game winning streak dates to the 2010 Meineke Car Care Bowl, when Clemson outgained South Florida 296-279, but lost the game 31-26. Overall, Clemson has a 35-3 record under Head Coach Dabo Swinney when it outgains the opposition. Seven Straight Wins By 14+ Points Clemson won a school-record seven consecutive games by 14+ points, all in ACC play, in 2012. Clemson had a six-game streak of wins by 14+ points from 198990. Clemson also won six games in a row by 14+ points in 1978. The 2012 streak began with a 45-31 win over Boston College on September 29. The last victory in the streak was a 62-48 win over N.C. State. First-Half Frenzy To say Clemson got off to a good start in each of its 13 games would be an understatement. Clemson had the lead at halftime in all but one game, and the average margin was 13.5 points (27-13). A look to the stats shows that Clemson averaged 27 points, 6.9 yards per play, 307 yards of total offense, 203 passing yards, and 104 rushing yards in the first half. Clemson had at least 35 points in the first half in five games. In 12 of the 13 games, Clemson had at least 237 yards of total offense by halftime, and in 10 of the 13, Clemson had at least 158 passing yards in the first half. Clemson scored at least 13 points in the first half of all 13 games and scored at least 20 points in nine games. 2012 Clemson Offensive Stats in First Half Opponent FD PY RY PL Yards Auburn 16 128 147 48 275 Ball State 21 269 113 52 382 Furman 12 192 106 32 298 Florida State 14 195 58 39 253 Boston College 15 158 99 43 257 Georgia Tech 16 251 70 50 321 Virginia Tech 8 72 65 34 137 Wake Forest 14 286 57 39 343 Duke 20 314 173 43 487 Maryland 18 213 97 47 310 N.C.

2012 SEASON NOTES
Second-Quarter Scoring Machine Clemson owned the second quarter in 2012. The Tigers had a scoring margin of 197-78 in the second quarter, a school mark for points scored in a quarter during a season. The previous mark was 154 points scored in the second quarter by the 2009 team. One of the reasons for Clemson’s success in the second quarter was the passing of Tajh Boyd. Boyd was 94-132 passing for 1,287 yards and 17 touchdowns in the second quarter in 2012. That equates to 71 percent and a pass efficiency figure of 189.6. He was tied for first in the nation in passing touchdowns and third in passing efficiency in the second quarter. Clemson averaged 15.2 points per game in the second quarter. Leading Entering Fourth Quarter One thing Clemson did well in 2011 and 2012 was holding a fourth-quarter lead. The Tigers were 17-0 those two seasons when leading entering the fourth quarter (8-0 in 2011 and 9-0 in 2012). Clemson has an active streak of 18 consecutive wins when leading entering the fourth quarter. Clemson’s last loss in that situation was a 16-13 defeat at Florida State in 2010, a game Clemson led 10-6 entering the fourth quarter. Overall, Swinney is 33-3 when leading entering the fourth quarter since he became Clemson’s head coach in October of 2008. The three losses are Georgia Tech in 2008 (his first game as head coach), TCU in 2009, and Florida State in 2010. Tigers Scored Every Way Possible Clemson scored every possible way in its victory over Georgia Tech on October 6 in its 47-31 victory. The Tigers scored five touchdowns, kicked three field goals, kicked five extra points, had a two-point conversion, and added a safety. It marked the first time Clemson scored every possible way since the 2007 Virginia Tech game, a contest the Tigers lost 41-23. Clemson also scored every possible way against N.C. State in 1998 in its 46-39 defeat. Third-Down & Fourth-Down Success Clemson was one of the top schools in the nation when it came to third-down and fourth-down conversion offense. Clemson tied for the national lead in fourth-down

CENTER DALTON FREEMAN WAS ONE OF SIX TIGERS NAMED TO THE ALL-ACC TEAM ON OFFENSE.
13 Seniors Clemson had one of the youngest teams in the nation with just 13 seniors on its 2012 roster, 11 of which came to Tigertown as scholarship players. This was the fewest seniors on a Clemson football roster since 1999, when Tommy Bowden’s first team had just 10 seniors, including only six on scholarship. The only other year in the last 30 seasons that Clemson had less than 13 seniors was 1985, when Danny Ford’s team had 12 seniors. The 1985 team finished 6-5 and the 1999 Clemson team finished 6-6, so you can see that the 2012 team was among the best young teams in school history. You can make the claim that the 2012 squad was the youngest Tiger team since 1944. This 2012 team also had just 13 scholarship juniors. Clemson’s 1944 team was completely made up of freshmen and sophomores, as all upperclassmen left campus for the armed services. Therefore, just 24 of the 85 players on scholarship in 2012 were seniors.
It was just the third time since AFCA began selecting an All-America team in 1945 that the quarterback and center were from the same team. Clemson was one of four schools with at least two selections. Alabama had three, while Clemson, Stanford, and Texas A&M had two apiece. Miami (FL) had the quarterback and center on the AFCA All-America team in 2002, when Ken Dorsey (QB) and Brett Romberg (C) were selected. The only other time it has happened in the last 67 years was in 2009, when Texas had quarterback Colt McCoy and center Chris Hall on the first-team. In 2011, Dwayne Allen and Sammy Watkins were both named first-team All-Americans by AP. It was the first time since 1986-87 that Clemson had two first-team All-Americans in consecutive seasons. Wideout DeAndre Hopkins was named second or thirdteam All-American by six services. Sammy Watkins was named a first-team All-American by Pro Football Weekly.
Six First-Team All-ACC Players on Offense The six Clemson players who earned First-Team All-ACC honors were quarterback Tajh Boyd, center Dalton Freeman, wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, running back Andre Ellington, tight end Brandon Ford, and offensive lineman Brandon Thomas. It was the first time in history that Clemson had six firstteam all-conference players on offense, and the first time any team did it since Florida State accomplished the feat in 1995. Placekicker Chandler Catanzaro and safety Rashard Hall were named to the second team, while Malliciah Goodman and Sammy Watkins were honorable mention selections. Boyd and Freeman were named to the first team for the second consecutive year, while Catanzaro made the second team for the second consecutive season. Ellington earned second-team honors in 2011 and improved to firstteam status in 2012. With Freeman’s selection, he became the first Clemson center in history to be named First-Team All-ACC in consecutive years. Boyd became the first Tiger two-time firstteam selection at quarterback since Steve Fuller (1977,78).
Hopkins & Watkins Receiving Duo The receiving duo of DeAndre Hopkins and Sammy Watkins is the top receiving yardage duo in Clemson history on a season basis. That was actually established in 2011 when they combined for 2,197 receiving yards in 14 games. They combined for 2,113 receiving yards, the second-highest combined total for a season, in 2012. In just two seasons (2011,12), they combined for 280 receptions for 4,310 yards and 36 touchdowns. Both earned All-America honors, Watkins in 2011 as a freshman and Hopkins in 2012 as a junior. In 14 games in 2011, they combined for 154 receptions for 2,197 yards and 17 touchdowns. In 2012, they had 139 combined receptions for 2,113 yards and 21 touchdowns. They did that in one less game, while Watkins played just 10 games in 2012. In 2012, Hopkins had 82 receptions for 1,405 yards and 18 touchdowns. Watkins had 57 catches for 708 yards and three touchdowns. In 2011 and 2012, Hopkins had 154 receptions and Watkins had 139. Their combined 2,113 receiving yards in 2012 made them the second-best receiving combination in school history. Their 2011 total of 2,197 is the best mark.
Boyd & Freeman Named First-Team All-Americans Quarterback Tajh Boyd and center Dalton Freeman were both named first-team All-Americans by AFCA. Boyd became the first Tiger quarterback in history to be named a first-team All-American, while Freeman became the first Tiger center to be named a first-team All-American.

2012 SEASON NOTES
SPENCER BENTON ESTABLISHED AN ACC RECORD WITH A 61-YARD FIELD GOAL AGAINST BALL STATE. Benton Set ACC Record Spencer Benton set an ACC record in Clemson’s win over Ball State on September 8. Benton booted a 61-yard field goal, with a few yards to spare, on the last play of the first half to establish an ACC record for longest field goal. That is 60 years of placekicks, so that is quite a record. Benton broke the record of 60 yards by Gary Cismesia (Florida State) against Florida in 2007. Benton’s field goal was four yards longer than the previous Clemson record. Obed Ariri made a 57-yarder against Wake Forest in 1977 and Chris Gardocki made a 57-yarder against Appalachian State in 1990. Each of those previous kicks were also made at Memorial Stadium. It was quite a day for long field goals, as Andrew Furney (Washington State) made a 60-yarder in the Cougars’ victory over Eastern Washington. Imagine making a 60-yarder and it was not even the longest in the nation for the day. Sixty-yard field goals are rare, especially since the NCAA outlawed the use of a tee for placekicks in 1988. When Benton made his 61-yarder, it was just the fourth field goal of 60+ yards this century. Then, Furney made the fifth just hours later. September 8, 2012 was the first time since October 11, 1986 that two players made field goals 60+ yards on the same day. Ironically, Ball State was involved in that day.

Boyd a 20-Game Winner Tajh Boyd had an outstanding junior season. He was fifth in the nation and first in the ACC in passing efficiency (165.6). He became just the second Tiger in history to finish in the top 10 in the nation in passing efficiency. Mike Eppley was third in the nation in 1983 (146.0). Boyd had an ACC-record 36 passing touchdowns in 2012, including 21 passing touchdowns in the last six games. Clemson scored at least 35 points in the first half in four of the last six games. Boyd has a 21-6 career record as a starting quarterback, the seventh player in school history to quarterback the Tigers to at least 20 wins in a career. That 21-6 record includes a 13-1 mark at Memorial Stadium. He was the common denominator to Clemson’s 13-game winning streak at home, the longest in school history. The all-time leader is Rodney Williams, who won 32 games between 1985-88. Charlie Whitehurst is second with 25 wins.

Boyd Named ACC Player-of-the-Year Tajh Boyd was named ACC Player-of-the-Year and ACC Offensive Player-of-the-Year in 2012. Earlier, Boyd was named First-Team All-ACC for the second straight season and became the first Clemson quarterback to be a twotime, first-team selection since Steve Fuller (1977,78). Fuller was named ACC Player-of-the-Year in both of those seasons. Boyd became the first Clemson quarterback to receive ACC Player-of-the-Year honors since Fuller in 1978. Boyd became the seventh different Tiger to be named ACC Player-of-the-Year and the second in the last four years. C.J. Spiller, now a running back with the Buffalo Bills, won the award in 2009. However, before Spiller, you have to go back to Michael Dean Perry in 1987. Boyd was in his second year as a starter in 2012 and took the Tigers to consecutive 10-win seasons, the first Clemson quarterback to do that since 1987-88, when Rodney Williams quarterbacked the Tigers to consecutive 10-2 seasons. Boyd is tied for fifth in Clemson history in wins as a starting quarterback (21).
by Obed Ariri in 1980, so Catanzaro eclipsed a 32-year record by 43 percent. Seven of his 20 consecutive made field goals were from 40+ yards, including a career-long 50-yarder at Florida State, the kick that broke Ariri’s record. He made three field goals during the streak from 30-39 yards and 10 from 18-29 yards. Catanzaro is the most accurate placekicker in Clemson history from 40+ yards. For his career, he has made 2027 field goals from 40+ yards (74 percent). His 20 made field goals of 40+ yards are second-most in school history, only behind Chris Gardocki, who made 23-39 field-goal attempts from that distance between 1988-90. Catanzaro was named one of 20 semifinalists for the Lou Groza Award. It was the second consecutive year he was named a semifinalist.

2012 SEASON NOTES
Freeman was the second two-time Rimington Trophy finalist in Clemson history. The other was Kyle Young, a finalist in 2000 and 2001. Freeman was a common denominator in the starting lineup at center for those four years, one of just two seniors who could make that claim. The native of Pelion, SC started a school-record-tying 49 consecutive games. Freeman Named Second-Team Academic All-American Center Dalton Freeman was named a Capital One Second-Team Academic All-American, selected by CoSIDA. He became the first Tiger to make one of the two academic All-America teams since 2001, when Chad Carson and Kyle Young were both first-team selections. Combined with his selection to the AFCA All-America team, Freeman was the fourth Tiger in history to be named an All-American on the field and in the classroom in the same season. The other Tigers who have done the All-America double are Lou Cordileone (1959), Steve Fuller (1978), and Kyle Young (2000,01). Freeman already had one undergraduate degree from Clemson, and he received a second in December. Freeman joined Dustin Hopkins (Florida State), who was a first-team selection, and Perry Simmons (Duke), who was a second-team choice. Clemson Football Academic & On-Field All-Americans Player Pos.

Hopkins a Biletnikoff Award Semifinalist Wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins was named one of 10 semifinalists for the Fred Biletnikoff Award. The honor is presented each year to the top wide receiver in the nation. It was the second consecutive year a Tiger made the final 10 for the award. In 2011, Sammy Watkins was a semifinalist. Hopkins was the only ACC player on the list. He was second in the nation in receiving touchdowns (18). Hopkins had 82 receptions for 1,405 yards in 2012, an average of 17.1 yards per catch. He had at least one receiving touchdown in 10 consecutive games, a Clemson and ACC record, and 12 of the 13 contests. He set a record for number of games with a receiving touchdown by an ACC player in one season.
REVIEW
DeANDRE HOPKINS HAD A TOUCHDOWN CATCH IN 12 OF CLEMSON’S 13 GAMES IN 2012. Rodriguez Joined Roster Daniel Rodriguez, a 24-year-old United States Army veteran, joined the football team in 2012. The 5’8” wide receiver began practice with the Tigers on August 3, 2012. Rodriguez served for one-and-a-half years in Iraq and one year in Afghanistan. During his military career (200610), he earned a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star Medal with Valor. Rodriguez had not played football since he was at Brooke Point High School in Stafford, VA. He lettered three years (2003-05) as a slot receiver, running back, cornerback, holder, quarterback, and kick returner. It has been Rodriguez’s dream to return to the gridiron at the college level. Head Coach Dabo Swinney offered him a spot on the team as a walk-on after seeing a video about Rodriguez on the internet. Rodriguez, who attends Clemson on the G.I. Bill, was featured on the front page of USA Today, Washington Post, CBS Evening News, ESPN College Gameday, CBS College Sports, and has been profiled on CNN and Dan Rather Reports.
Rodriguez realized the dream in the season-opener against Auburn when he played on the kickoff-coverage unit, his first college action and his first football game since 2005. He had three receptions for 10 yards and made four tackles on kickoff coverage. Swinney a Coach-of-the-Year Semifinalist Head Coach Dabo Swinney was named one of 16 semifinalists for national coach-of-the-year by the Maxwell Football Club of Pennsylvania. Swinney was the only ACC coach on the list. Swinney guided Clemson to an 11-2 record, a #14 ranking in the final BCS standings, and a #9 ranking in the final USA Today coaches poll in 2012. The Tigers had a 7-1 record in the ACC, tying for the Atlantic Division Championship. It was the third time in the last four years that Clemson won the division. Clemson won seven consecutive games by 14+ points at one point, a first in Clemson history. Swinney was named the winner of the 2011 Bobby Dodd National Coach-of-the-Year Award.

Even as Auburn cornerback Chris Davis was being flagged for pass interference, DeAndre Hopkins hauled in a Tajh Boyd pass on a fade route in the back of the endzone for his 12th catch of the game to put #14 Clemson ahead for good in its 26-19 win over #25 Auburn in the Georgia Dome. The victory snapped Clemson’s six-game losing streak in the city of Atlanta. With 9:15 remaining in the fourth quarter, Boyd found Hopkins in the corner of the endzone for what proved to be the game-winning score. Hopkins nabbed his 13th catch of the night later in the fourth quarter to break the school record for receptions in a game and finished with 119 yards. Matching Hopkins’ great effort was Andre Ellington, who rushed for 228 yards, as the ACC Tigers beat the SEC Tigers in the rubber match of the three-game series. Hopkins’ touchdown grab put Clemson ahead 23-19, and Chandler Catanzaro’s fourth field goal of the night from 18 yards out with 1:24 left in the game provided the final margin. Clemson’s 79-yard drive that set up Catanzaro’s kick was highlighted by a 45-yard jaunt by Ellington that put him over the 200-yard mark. Ellington’s 228 rushing yards were the most by a Tiger since 2009. Ellington earned ACC Offensive Back-of-theWeek honors for his efforts. Center Dalton Freeman was also named ACC Offensive Lineman-of-the-Week. Clemson finished off the win by stopping Auburn on downs, with Vic Beasley notching a sack on third down to key the stop.

Dabo Swinney’s mantra for his team ahead of its game against Ball State was, “set the tone.” The #12 Tigers obviously heard Swinney’s message loud and clear, as they scored on five of their first six possessions and cruised to a 52-27 win over the Cardinals at Memorial Stadium. After forcing a three-and-out, Clemson struck, with Andre Ellington scoring on a two-yard plunge to put the Tigers up 13-0 with 6:36 left in the first quarter. The Tigers stretched their lead back out on the ensuing drive, as DeAndre Hopkins made a leaping grab at the goal line for a 13-yard touchdown catch from Tajh Boyd. Ball State trimmed the deficit to 21-10 with a field goal and tried to catch the Tigers napping with an onside kick. But Lateek Townsend pounced on the loose ball, and 44 seconds later, Hopkins snagged a crossing route and raced 33 yards for a touchdown to put Clemson ahead 28-10. Spencer Benton punctuated the Tigers’ dominating performance in the first half by drilling a 61-yard field goal as time expired, breaking the school record for the longest field goal by four yards over the mark. He also set an ACC record and was named ACC Specialist-of-the-Week. The 45 first-half points were the most by the Tigers since they scored 49 against Wake Forest in 1981.

Tajh Boyd passed for 310 yards and two touchdowns in leading #11 Clemson to its 30th straight win in the series against Furman with a 41-7 win at Memorial Stadium. The Tigers took a 20-7 lead into halftime and held the Paladins scoreless in the second half to roll to the 34-point victory. Andre Ellington opened the scoring with a 10-yard burst off right tackle to put the Tigers up 7-0 in the first quarter. The run capped a seven-play, 80-yard drive that featured two first-down catches apiece by Sammy Watkins and DeAndre Hopkins, who led all receivers with seven catches for 95 yards. Furman finally broke through on its next possession, as Reese Hannon found Jordan Snellings wide open down the sideline for a 37-yard score to cap a three-play, 84-yard drive that cut the Tiger lead to 17-7. Chandler Catanzaro stretched Clemson’s advantage to 20-7 with a 22-yard field goal that matched Obed Ariri’s school record of 14 consecutive made field goals. Quandon Christian made the first big play after halftime, picking off a Hannon pass across the middle and returning it to the Furman 14. Clemson upped its lead to 34-7 when Brandon Ford ran free on a “wheel” route and hauled in a Boyd pass with an acrobatic, off-balance catch for a 30-yard touchdown to cap a five-play, 69-yard drive. Boyd hooked up with Martavis Bryant on a 39-yard touchdown into tight coverage to stretch the Tigers’ lead to the final margin of 41-7.

Ahead by two touchdowns at #4 Florida State early in the second half, #9 Clemson looked like the class of the ACC. The rest of the Tigers’ night was more humbling. The Seminoles outscored Clemson 35-9 after the 11:48 mark of the third quarter and defeated the Tigers 49-37 in the ACC’s first matchup of top-10 teams in five seasons. The Tigers opened the game with a bang, as Tajh Boyd went over the top on the fifth play from scrimmage and hit DeAndre Hopkins for a 60-yard passing touchdown. Florida State struck back just 2:40 later, as Lonnie Pryor burst off tackle for a 13-yard touchdown to even the score. Clemson regained the lead when Andre Ellington rumbled in from six yards out on the ensuing possession. Clemson stretched its lead to 14 points early in the third quarter. On a second-down play, Boyd threw a lateral to Sammy Watkins at his wide-receiver post. Watkins gathered himself and fired a strike across the field to a wide-open Ellington for a 52-yard touchdown that gave the Tigers a 28-14 lead in the third quarter. The Seminoles took their first lead with a pass from EJ Manuel to Rodney Smith for a 29-yard touchdown. Florida State led by as many as 18 points after a Thompson 27-yard touchdown run, but Boyd and Brandon Ford hooked up again with 2:11 left in the game for a threeyard score on fourth down to provide the final margin.

It was another record-setting day for the tandem of Tajh Boyd and DeAndre Hopkins, and more importantly for the #16 Tigers, in a crucial win in an environment that had not been kind in recent years. Boyd, who received the Leather Helmet Award as the game’s MVP, threw three touchdown passes and Hopkins set a school record with 197 receiving yards in the Tigers’ 45-31 win at Boston College. It was not all positive for Clemson’s defense, but it always seemed to make the plays that mattered most. The unit recorded three sacks and two interceptions. Boston College opened the scoring at the 10:16 mark of the first quarter, as Andre Williams found a hole and outran the Tigers for a 30-yard touchdown scamper. After Clemson’s defense stopped Boston College threeand-out, the Tigers took their first lead with 3:02 left in the first quarter on a six-yard run by Boyd, then they extended their lead to 17-7 when Boyd hit Sam Cooper for a 15-yard touchdown on the opening play of the second quarter. Roderick McDowell opened the second-half scoring with a 16-yard burst to put Clemson ahead 31-21. Three Tiger possessions later, Andre Ellington extended Clemson’s lead to 38-21 on a one-yard dive over the top. After a Tiger turnover, Travis Blanks put the finishing touch on the win, batting away a fourth-down pass at the Tiger 28, allowing the Tiger offense to run out the clock.

Tajh Boyd passed for 397 yards and set the Clemson career record for passing touchdowns, as the #15 Tigers scored the game’s final 17 points and rolled to a 47-31 win over Georgia Tech at Memorial Stadium. Despite Boyd’s heroics, it was Clemson’s defense that helped swing the momentum. After the Tigers took a 3831 lead with 10:29 left in the game, Spencer Shuey came up with a big play two snaps later as he hauled down Orwin Smith in the endzone for a safety that gave Clemson a 40-31 lead. It was the junior’s first career tackle for loss. However, Boyd was intercepted on the ensuing possession and the Yellow Jackets looked poised to make for a close finish after they picked up 32 yards on a pass from Tevin Washington to Smith on the ensuing drive. Instead, the Tiger defense held and forced a 37-yard field-goal attempt by placekicker David Scully. Josh Watson penetrated the line and got a hand on Scully’s kick, denying the Yellow Jackets points and setting the Tigers up for 13-play, 80-yard, game-clinching drive. Roderick McDowell later scored on a one-yard plunge with 50 seconds left in the game to provide the final margin of 47-31.

In a game where Clemson’s offense uncharacteristically struggled, its defense rose to the occasion, coming up with three interceptions and holding Virginia Tech to seven second-half points in a 38-17 win at Memorial Stadium. The win marked the 11th straight at home for the #13 Tigers, who tied a school record that was last accomplished in 1991. After Clemson’s offense went three-and-out to open the contest, the Hokies found the endzone seven plays later when Logan Thomas connected with Corey Fuller for a 29-yard touchdown and a 7-0 lead with 10:28 left in the first quarter. Clemson took its first lead with 9:29 remaining in the second quarter when Tajh Boyd dove over the line from one yard out for a touchdown and a 10-7 lead. The Clemson defense then added to the lead, as Jonathan Meeks picked off a Thomas pass at the Tiger 26 and raced 74 yards for a touchdown to make the score 17-7. The interception was Meeks’ second of the day. The Tigers stretched their lead back out to 24-10 with 4:30 left in the third quarter on a 12-yard touchdown run by Andre Ellington, who started outside, cut back inside, and beat a pair of Hokie defenders to the goal line for a touchdown. After the Tiger defense forced a three-and-out, Boyd hit DeAndre Hopkins for a 37-yard touchdown pass just three plays and 50 seconds later to extend the Clemson lead to 31-10 with 0:50 left in the third quarter.
Dabo Swinney is quick to debunk what he calls “voodoo,” the strange phenomenon that leads to things such as Clemson being 1-9 all-time in ESPN Thursday night games. It appears the Tiger head coach has turned his team into staunch nonbelievers, too. Clemson exorcised those demons on this particular Thursday night, as Tajh Boyd set a school record with 428 passing yards and five touchdowns, all in the first half, in the rout of the Demon Deacons. The night also served as a 2012 coming-out party for Sammy Watkins, as the sophomore became the first player in Clemson history to accumulate 200 receiving yards in a game. He finished with eight receptions for 202 yards. After punts on its first two possessions, Clemson finally got rolling on its third drive. On a second-down play, Boyd found a wide-open Watkins on a 57-yard pass down the sideline to set the Tigers up at the Wake Forest 10. Three plays later, Boyd connected with Brandon Ford on third down for a nine-yard touchdown and a 7-0 lead. On the first play of the second quarter, Boyd and Watkins hooked up for another big play, this time a 61-yard touchdown pass, as Watkins ran a deep out route, outran a pair of defenders, and tiptoed down the sideline to put the Tigers up 14-0. Boyd stayed in the game just long enough to surpass Charlie Whitehurst’s school record of 420 passing yards, set in 2002. The recordbreaker came on a 37-yard pass to Martavis Bryant midway through the fourth quarter.

Broken records are becoming a bit like, well, a broken record for the Clemson offense. Tajh Boyd threw five first-half touchdown passes and DeAndre Hopkins hauled in three of them in the first quarter alone, as #9 Clemson rolled up 718 yards of offense in thumping Duke 56-20 at Wallace Wade Stadium. It was the first-ever night game in the history of the series. The Tigers wasted little time scoring, as they marched 76 yards on their opening drive and found the endzone on a five-yard fade route from Boyd to Hopkins for a 7-0 lead. Boyd and Hopkins hooked up again for a touchdown just four plays later to build the lead to 14-3. Hopkins beat his man down the middle of the field for a 58-yard touchdown reception. Boyd threw his fifth touchdown pass of the first half, this time hitting Martavis Bryant for a 41-yard score to give Clemson a 35-17 lead. Boyd accounted for another touchdown late in the first half, as he darted in from 21 yards out one play after Watkins set Clemson up in Duke territory with a 30-yard grab down the sideline. For the second contest in a row, Boyd threw five touchdowns in the first half, which matched the school record for an entire game.

Facing a Maryland team ravaged by injuries, #8 Clemson showed little sympathy at Memorial Stadium. The Tigers scored the game’s first two touchdowns 12 seconds apart and scored 35 points before halftime for the third straight game on the way to a 45-10 win on Homecoming. The Tigers opened the scoring on their second offensive possession with a diving 13-yard grab in the endzone by Adam Humphries for his first career touchdown. Clemson added to its lead on the next play from scrimmage. The ball slipped out of Shawn Petty’s hand as he attempted to throw, and Corey Crawford scooped up the fumble and returned it 16 yards for a touchdown and a 14-0 lead with 7:07 left in the first quarter. After Xavier Brewer caused a fumble and Malliciah Goodman recovered the ball later in the first quarter, Boyd hooked up with DeAndre Hopkins for a 28-yard touchdown seven plays and 53 yards later to extend the Clemson lead to 21-0. Clemson stretched its lead to 28-0 on its next possession, as Boyd hit Brandon Ford for a 22-yard touchdown down the sideline to cap a seven-play, 60-yard drive. Andre Ellington added another touchdown for the Tigers on their next possession, scampering in from six yards to make the score 35-7 after he had bulled over a tackler en route to a 13-yard gain on the previous play. The score marked the third straight game the Tigers scored at least 35 points in the first half, a first in program history.

Even as well as Clemson had been playing, some still wondered how it might respond to adversity. Facing its largest deficit at home this season (24-13) to N.C. State, the Tigers showed them by scoring 42 consecutive points. The 62-48 win over the Wolfpack at Memorial Stadium gave #9 Clemson its first 10-win regular season since the 1981 National Championship season. The game was the most prolific in Memorial Stadium history from an offensive standpoint, both in terms of yardage and scoring. The two teams combined for 1,351 yards and 110 points, both totals that bested marks set in Clemson’s memorable 82-24 win over Wake Forest in 1981. Tajh Boyd, who was named ACC Offensive Back-of-theWeek, had 426 passing yards and five touchdowns along with 103 rushing yards and three more touchdowns on the ground to lead the Tigers. He became the first player in ACC history to account for eight touchdowns in a game. Andre Ellington went over the century mark with 124 rushing yards, while Sammy Watkins (110) and Brandon Ford (101) reached the century mark in receiving yards.

November 24, 2012 Memorial Stadium • Clemson, SC
For the first time all season, an opponent figured out how to keep Clemson’s offense under 20 points. The #9 Tigers scored just three points after the first quarter and totaled only 19 plays after halftime, as they saw their school-record 13-game home winning streak come to an end at the hands of #12 South Carolina by a score of 27-17 at Memorial Stadium. After the two teams traded punts to start the game, Clemson opened the scoring by methodically marching 85 yards to find the endzone on a three-yard run by Boyd on a third-and-goal play. The Gamecocks answered with their own touchdown on the ensuing drive, as Dylan Thompson hit Bruce Ellington for a 13-yard touchdown pass to tie the score. The Tigers needed just two plays to respond. Roderick McDowell sprinted 32 yards down the sideline to open the drive. On the next play, Boyd passed down the same sideline to DeAndre Hopkins, who beat a pair of Gamecock defenders to the ball for a 43-yard score and a 14-7 lead. Xavier Brewer made sure the score stayed that way on the next drive. After two pass-interference penalties, one on fourth down and the other on third down, extended South Carolina’s drive, Brewer came up with a sack to force another third down. He then picked off a Thompson pass in the back of the endzone with 13:23 left in the game. The Gamecocks came up with an interception on the ensuing possession, and their offense then marched 65 yards in 13 plays and found the endzone with a six-yard pass from Thompson to a wide-open Ellington to give South Carolina a 10-point lead with just 4:17 remaining and provide the final margin.

Louisiana State Clemson
24 25
December 31, 2012 • Chick-fil-A Bowl Georgia Dome • Atlanta, GA
Talk about responding to adversity. And talk about ringing in the New Year with a bang. Clemson must have thought it was in for a long night after what could only be called the most inauspicious of starts. Instead, Clemson showed the mettle to produce one of its most meaningful wins in recent history. Trailing 24-13 to #7 Louisiana State entering the fourth quarter, Dabo Swinney’s team came off the mat to score three times in the final stanza against one of the nation’s staunchest defenses. Chandler Catanzaro’s 37-yard field goal as time expired lifted #13 Clemson to a 25-24 victory in the Chick-fil-A Bowl in the Georgia Dome. Clemson won the game despite never leading at any point of the game until the clock read 0:00 in the fourth quarter. After Clemson pulled within two points with 2:47 left in the game on a 12-yard touchdown strike from Tajh Boyd to DeAndre Hopkins, it was unable to pull even when Boyd’s pass on the two-point attempt fell incomplete. But the Clemson defense quickly got the ball back to its offense by forcing a three-and-out with 1:39 remaining, and Boyd engineered a drive that covered 60 yards in 10 plays and culminated in Catanzaro’s game-winner. However, things got off to a rocky start for Clemson. Clemson turned the ball over on the second play from scrimmage, as Sammy Watkins was hit by Barkevious Mingo after taking a handoff and fumbled the ball. Two plays later, Louisiana State cashed in. Jeremy Hill burst off tackle and cruised for a 17-yard touchdown run and a 7-0 lead. Making matters worse, Watkins was lost for the night after suffering an injury on the play. With things already looking bleak, the ACC Tigers mustered a big-time response against the vaunted Louisiana State defense, marching 75 yards in 11 plays and finding the endzone on an 11-yard run by Boyd, who was named Chick-fil-A Bowl Offensive Most Outstanding Player, to tie the score 7-7.

Clemson also stiffened on defense and had four sacks in the first quarter, its most in a quarter all season. Louisiana State jumped back on top early in the second quarter, however, as it capped an eight-play, 65-yard drive with a six-yard touchdown pass from Zach Mettenberger to Jarvis Landry and led 14-7. Later in the quarter, Clemson marched the ball 70 yards in eight plays and found the endzone on an 11-yard touchdown pass from Boyd to Hopkins to make the score 14-13 before Catanzaro’s point-after attempt was blocked. Clemson’s defense continued to provide its offense chances, forcing its fourth three-and-out of the first half on the ensuing possession and later coming up with an interception by Travis Blanks. Clemson could not cash in and it trailed at halftime for the first time all season despite outgaining Louisiana State 248-106 and rolling up 18 first downs to the SEC Tigers’ six. As badly as the first half started for Clemson, the second half followed suit. Michael Ford returned the secondhalf kickoff 43 yards, and on the next play, Hill rumbled 57 yards to paydirt for a touchdown and a 21-13 lead just 17 seconds after halftime. Louisiana State added to its lead with 4:49 left in the third quarter on a 20-yard field goal by Drew Alleman after it took over at the Clemson 29 on a fumble. By that point, Louisiana State’s pass rushers had begun to assert their will against a Clemson offensive line that had lost one of its starting tackles (Gifford Timothy) to an injury in the first half. The ACC Tigers got their offense back on track on their first drive of the fourth quarter, marching 63 yards in 13 plays before settling for a 26-yard Catanzaro field goal that pulled Clemson back within eight points. Clemson’s defense continued to do its part and got the ball right back to its offense, as Malliciah Goodman and Grady Jarrett combined for Clemson’s sixth sack of the game on third down. Goodman, one of the seniors playing his last game, finished with a career-high three sacks on the night. The offense took advantage of the opportunity, as Boyd engineered an 11-play, 77-yard drive and hit Hopkins in the back of the endzone for a 12-yard touchdown pass to make the score 24-22 with 2:47 left in the game. The two-point try failed, but Clemson’s defense once again did its job by forcing a quick three-and-out. A

touchback on the ensuing punt gave Clemson the ball at its own 20 with 1:39 left in the game. At that point, Boyd hit Hopkins for a 26-yard strike on fourth-and-16. He eventually completed his last five passes of the game to set up Catanzaro’s game-winning kick.

CLEMSON RING OF HONOR MEMBERS
The Ring of Honor is the highest honor a Clemson student-athlete can receive. A recipient must first be a member of the Clemson Hall of Fame, earn at least an undergraduate degree, and make a significant contribution to the heritage of Tiger athletics. Honorees will have their jersey retired.
Ring of Honor Members The 1981 Football Team was inducted into the Clemson Ring of Honor during the fall of 2006 in conjunction with the team’s 25-year anniversary celebration of winning the national title. Every player, coach, manager, and administrator associated with that team is considered in the Ring of Honor within the team concept. The Tigers had a perfect 12-0 record that season, as they defeated Nebraska by a score of 22-15 in the 1982 Orange Bowl to claim the National Championship. For more information on Clemson’s 1981 squad, see pages 70,71. The 1984 Men’s Soccer Team won the NCAA Championship in grand style, as it became the first team in NCAA soccer history to defeat the #1, #2, #3, and #4-seeded teams in the tournament on the way to the title. Clemson defeated two-time defending champion Indiana 2-1 in the National Championship match in the Kingdome in Seattle, WA. John Lee scored the winning goal for Dr. I.M. Ibrahim’s team with 1:42 left. The team was inducted into the Clemson Ring of Honor in 2009. The 1987 Men’s Soccer Team won the NCAA Championship with a victory over San Diego State at Historic Riggs Field, the only national championship claimed on the Clemson campus. The Tigers were led by Hermann Trophy winner Bruce Murray. The victory over the Aztecs culminated a magic run for the Tigers, who were seeded #23 in the 24team tournament. A crowd of 8.332 fans celebrated the victory at the home of Clemson soccer, the largest home crowd in Tiger history. Rusty Adkins was the first baseball player named to the Clemson Ring of Honor in 1997. He is the only threetime All-American in Tiger baseball history (1965,66,67). A three-time First-Team AllACC player, he hit .444 in 1965, an average that remained a Tiger record for 37 years. Adkins had a 41-game hitting streak that remains in the top 10 in NCAA history. He was named to the ACC’s 50-Year Anniversary team in 2002.

FORMER HEAD COACHES Walter Riggs
1896,99 Walter Riggs could easily be called the father of Clemson Football. He coached the football program at Clemson, not only because he had football experience, but he was also one of only two people on the Clemson campus to have ever seen a football game when the sport started in 1896. (The other person was Frank Thompkins who played in the backfield on Clemson’s first team in 1896). On September 30, 1896, a small crowd gathered in one of the barrack’s rooms and the group discussed the feasibility of organizing a football association. A committee of three was appointed to consult Professor Riggs as to management of a football team and to ask his aid as coach. When the Tigers traveled to Furman for their first game on October 31, 1896, it was the first time that many of the players had ever seen a full-sized regulation football field. Riggs stepped down as football coach after the first season because the players wanted him to devote all of his time to being a professor in the engineering department. Riggs could easily be called a loyal man, as he answered the need of the Clemson football team again in 1899. The Clemson Athletic Association was low on money and could not afford to hire a coach. Therefore, he again answered the call of the school and became head coach in 1899 for free. Riggs originally came to Clemson from Auburn. He graduated with top honors in 1892 with a B.S. degree in electrical and mechanical engineering. At Auburn, he was captain and catcher of the baseball team as well as the manager and left end of the football team. He also served as class president and was the director of the Glee Club. Upon his graduation at Auburn, he was assistant to the president of the college until 1896, then he made his trek to Clemson. Riggs later became president of Clemson on March 7, 1911 and in 1915, a new football stadium with other athletic facilities was named in his honor as Riggs Field. It is currently the home of the Tiger soccer team. In two years of coaching, Riggs guided the Tigers to a career record of 6-3.
W.M. Williams 1897 Clemson’s second coach, W.M. Williams, was a native of West Point, GA. He played at Auburn on the teams of ’94, ’95, and ’96, under the coaching of John Heisman. He was considered the best blocking halfback in the south. Williams led Clemson to the state championship and to a 2-2 season. During his time as coach, Clemson played two games in three days. Clemson was victorious over the Charlotte Y on October 23, but lost to North Carolina 28-0, on October 25.
John Penton 1898 The Tigers’ third coach, J.A. Penton of Alabama, was captain and starting guard on the University of Virginia teams of ’93, ’94, and ’95. He was captain of the ‘95 Virginia Team that beat UNC to win the Championship of the South. Penton also played fullback at Auburn in ’97 under John Heisman’s coaching. Under Penton, Clemson won 55-0 over Bingham in its first home game, as W.C. Forsythe kicked every point after touchdown (11). In his only season at Clemson, Penton guided Clemson to a 3-1 record and the state championship.

2013 FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE
CLEMSON’S FIRST FOOTBALL HEAD COACH, WALTER RIGGS (TOP LEFT), IS PICTURED WITH THE 1899 FOOTBALL TEAM.
John Heisman 1900-03 One of the most famous football coaches in the nation, John Heisman,coached at Clemson from 1900-03. He turned Clemson from virtually an unknown college to a southern powerhouse at the turn of the century. Heisman attended Brown University, taking the two-year law course offered at that time, and was a center on the football team. During the fall of 1889, he transferred to the University of Pennsylvania. He lettered in football at both schools and graduated from Pennsylvania in 1893. In the spring of 1894, Walter Riggs was a graduate manager for the football team at Auburn. It fell on his shoulders to find a coach for the season of 1895. Riggs wrote to Carl Williams, the Pennsylvania captain of 1894, asking him to suggest a suitable coach. He replied recommending J.W. Heisman, an ex-Penn player, and his coach at Oberlin. After several weeks, Riggs finally found Heisman in Texas, where he was raising tomatoes. Having sunk all of his capital into the tomato venture, he was glad to return to his old love. He readily went to coach at Auburn for $500 a year. His coaching career began at Oberlin in 1892 and lasted 36 years. It included positions at Akron, Auburn, Clemson, Georgia Tech, Penn, Washington & Jefferson, and Rice University. He had an overall career record of 185 wins, 70 losses, and 17 ties. John Heisman invented the hidden ball trick, the handoff, the double lateral, and the “flea flicker.” He pioneered the forward pass, arguing that it would scatter the mob. Heisman also originated the center snap and the word hike (previously the center used to roll the ball on the ground to the quarterback). Heisman guided Clemson to conference titles in 1900 and 1902, and he led the Tigers to their first “bowl game” in 1903, when Clemson and Cumberland met on November 26 for the “Championship of the South.” Cumberland, who had earlier defeated Auburn, Alabama, and Vanderbilt, was considered to be champion of the southern states of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, and Kentucky. The game was played on a neutral site, Montgomery, AL. Cumberland and Clemson fought to an 11-11 tie. After the news got back to Clemson that the game was a tie, the
students and the local townspeople built a bonfire and paraded around the campus. Overall, Heisman took Clemson to a 19-3-2 record in his four seasons. His 83.3 winning percentage is still the best in Clemson history. He was also the Clemson baseball coach from 1901-1903.
Shack Shealy 1904 Shack Shealy holds the distinction of being the only Tiger to have coached his alma mater. He lettered at Clemson from 1896-99 and later played two years at Iowa State. Shealy was a four-year starter playing right guard, end, and in his senior year, he played in the backfield. He only coached Clemson one year (1904) and led the Tigers to a 3-3-1 record, including wins over Alabama, Georgia, and Tennessee.
Eddie Cochems 1905 Ed Cochems lettered at Wisconsin in 1899, 1900, and 1901. He was described as a great halfback or end on the strong Wisconsin teams at the turn of the century, including the 1901 undefeated team. In his playing career, he had a 100-yard kickoff return in a 35-0 win over Chicago in 1901, and had four touchdowns against Notre Dame in 1900. After his playing days, he immediately went into coaching. He was the head coach of North Dakota in 1902 and 1903 and served briefly as an assistant with former teammate, Art Curtis at Wisconsin in 1904. Cochems led Clemson to a 3-2-1 record overall, including wins over Georgia and Auburn. After his Clemson career, he was head coach and athletic director at Saint Louis in 1906. After the forward pass was legalized in 1906, Cochems did something with the pass at once in his first year at Saint Louis, while other coaches stuck with the running game. He taught his players not to throw the ball end-over-end, but instead like a projectile - a spiral. He called this new weapon a projectile pass.
CLEMSONTIGERS.COM
Historians credit Cochems as being the first coach to use and perfect the first legal pass in a game. The first studied refinements in throwing the ball, which led to the spiral, occurred in 1906 under Cochems. Brad Robinson of Saint Louis threw the first forward pass to Jack Schneider in a game played September 5, 1906 in Waukensha against Carroll College.
Bob Williams 1906,09,13-15,26 Bob Williams is one of the few coaches in the nation to have coached football at two rivals. Williams coached football at both Clemson and South Carolina. Before coming to Clemson, he coached at Davidson in 1905. He coached at South Carolina for two years and guided the Gamecocks to a 6-1 record in 1902 and an 8-2 slate in 1903. In his career at South Carolina, he administered the most unexpected defeat of Clemson, as he beat a heavily favored Heisman team, 12-6 in 1902. He served the Tigers as head coach a total of four terms (1906,09,13-15,26). Between 1915-26, Williams practiced law in Roanoke, VA and was the city’s mayor. One of the highlights of his career included leading the 1906 team to an unbeaten season (4-0-3), which included wins over Georgia, Auburn, Tennessee, and a Heismancoached Georgia Tech squad.
Frank Shaughnessy 1907 Frank Shaughnessy was known for his ability as a sports administrator. He served many positions, from a pro hockey coach to the International Baseball League Commissioner. A graduate in pharmacy at Notre Dame, he was captain of the baseball and football teams during his senior season. After his graduation in 1905, he coached baseball at Notre Dame. The summer before coming to Clemson, he played for Ottawa of the Eastern League. That summer, he played left field and ended the season with a .352 batting average. He also played with Washington and the Philadelphia Athletics. At Clemson, he coached the baseball teams during 1907 and 1908, and he was head football mentor in 1907, where he posted a 4-4 record. Shaughnessy made his name in baseball, but he took part in many other sports. Besides being a sports legend at Notre Dame, he managed the NHL’s Ottawa Senators to the Stanley Cup Finals in 1915, and he coached football teams at Clemson, Washington & Lee, and McGill University. He retired as the president of the International Baseball league. In a game against Kansas, Shaughnessy ran 107 yards for the only Irish score, as Kansas won the game 24-5. Football fields were 110 yards back then and touchdowns were five points. This is still a Notre Dame record.
John Stone 1908 John Stone is one of three coaches to have graduated from Vanderbilt and later become the head football coach at Clemson. While at Vanderbilt, he was a member of the All-Southern Football team for four years. He was a big man for his time, standing 6’2”. Clemson was 1-6 in 1908, but the Tigers lost many of their star players and substitutes from 1907 due to a college prank that saw 306 students expelled.

FORMER HEAD COACHES Frank Dobson 1910-12 Frank Dobson was a pro baseball player before coming to Clemson, as he was the property of the Pittsburgh Nationals. Walter Riggs, President of the Clemson Athletic Association, thought it was unfair to keep shuffling coaches year after year. He offered Dobson a three-year contract, which was the first contract offered and signed by a Clemson coach. At Clemson, he coached football, basketball and baseball. He was Clemson’s first basketball coach, leading it to its only undefeated season (4-0) in history in the inaugural season (1911-12). In 1912-13, Clemson had a 9-5 record. He was head baseball coach from 1911-13.

He played three seasons at tackle for Georgetown. Hart also played one season at George Washington. He was a member of the All-South Atlantic team on four occasions. Hart also served as an assistant coach at Georgetown. In 1913, Hart coached the Washington Vigilants, a professional football team, and did not lose a single contest. During his last two seasons prior to his arrival to Clemson, he coached various sports at Technical High School in Washington, D.C.
Edward Donahue 1917-20 Edward Donahue had to be one of the most organized men in the country.

Stewart also coached at Nebraska and Texas. At Nebraska, he led the Cornhuskers to a combined record of 11-4 in 1916 and 1917. The Cornhuskers also captured the Missouri Valley Conference title during both seasons. After leaving Nebraska, he entered the automobile business as President and Treasurer of the Stewart Motor Co. Due to the economic conditions at the time, he decided to go back into coaching.
Bud Saunders 1923-26 Bud Saunders graduated from Missouri in 1911 with a bachelors degree in Law. At Missouri, he played both football and basketball. Saunders wanted to play two other sports, but a conference rule forbid a student-athlete from participating in more than two sports. Saunders served as football coach at Knox College before arriving at Clemson. In football, Saunders coached for four seasons from 1923-26. He also coached the basketball teams in 1924 and 1925. Saunders’ best season in football came during the 1923 campaign, as he led the Tigers to a 5-2-1 record.
Josh Cody 1927-30 Josh Cody, fondly known as “big man,” will always be a favorite to Clemson fans. Cody, a big man in stature at 6-2, 220 pounds, led Clemson to victories over South Carolina for four straight years. He is the only coach in Clemson history who has been around more than two seasons who never lost a football game to South Carolina. He also defeated Furman three straight years. Cody had a 13-0-1 record in home games and posted a 72 percent winning mark overall, the fourth-best mark in Clemson history.
E.J. Stewart 1921,22 E.J. Stewart was head football coach for two years at Clemson, 1921-22. However, he coached more than one sport during his stay at Tigertown. In the spring of 1921, Stewart coached the baseball and track teams while conducting spring football practice. During the fall, Stewart’s football team had a 1-6-2 record, but he improved to a 5-4 slate in 1922. He went on to coach the track teams in 1922 and 1923. Stewart was a standout athlete in football, baseball, basketball, and track at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, OH.

After a 5-3-1 start in 1927, Cody guided Clemson to backto-back 8-3 seasons in 1928 and 1929. On May 6, 1929 to show appreciation, he was given a new Buick by the alumni, student body, and faculty. This presentation took place in front of Tillman Hall. In his final season (1930), the Tigers finished with a final record of 8-2. Cody also coached basketball at Clemson for five years and guided Clemson to a 16-9 slate in 1930. During the 1928-30 seasons, he guided Clemson to a 22-4 mark at home.
Jess Neely 1931-39 Clemson played in its first bowl game under Jess Neely in the 1940 Cotton Bowl. The Tigers, unknown at the time, became a household word after defeating heavilyfavored Boston College 6-3 in the Cotton Bowl. It was the Tigers’ first victory over a top20 ranked team in school history. Clemson had a 43-35-7 record during Neely’s tenure. Neely came to Clemson in 1931 and his recruitment of Banks McFadden took Clemson to another level of competition. In 1938, Neely coached Clemson to a second-place finish in the Southern Conference with a 7-1-1 record. In 1939, Banks McFadden became Clemson’s second All-American, and the team concluded the season with a trip to Dallas for the Cotton Bowl. Neely left Clemson in January of 1940 and moved on to Rice, where he took that school to new heights. Neely is a member of the College Football Hall of Fame. Neely’s landmark accomplishments in the 1930s at Clemson contributed significantly to Clemson’s outstanding football tradition.
Frank Howard 1940-69 Frank Howard succeeded Jess Neely in 1940 when Neely moved on to Rice. He got the job when he seconded his own nomination during a meeting of the president and athletic council. He signed a one-year contract, then lost the document, and never had another in his 30 years as head coach.
He graduated from Alabama in 1931, where he was a star lineman. He played in the 1930 Rose Bowl, then started his coaching career under Neely at Clemson in 1931, and was a part of a rebirth of Tiger football in the late 1930s. He was an assistant on the 1939 team that posted a 9-1 mark and beat Boston College 6-3 in the Tigers’ first bowl game. In 1940, he began his head coaching career with a bang as he won the Southern Conference championship, the first of eight conference titles Howard won in his coaching career. Howard had his most successful season in 1948 when he took Clemson to an 11-0 record, the Tigers’first perfect season since 1900. The campaign included a Southern Conference championship, a Gator Bowl win over Missouri, and a #11 final ranking. He nearly duplicated the feat in 1950 when he guided Clemson to a #10 AP final ranking, a 9-0-1 finish and a 15-14 win over Miami (FL) in the Orange Bowl. When he retired in 1969, Howard was the fifth winningest coach in the nation with 165 victories. He had 96 wins as an ACC coach, now second in conference history, and he captured six (five outright and one co-championship) ACC titles, a record Bobby Bowden broke in 1998. Howard’s teams appeared in six bowl games, 63 of his players were drafted by the NFL, and 37 played in the league. Howard, a native of Barlow Bend, AL, had six top-20 seasons, won eight conference titles (two Southern, six ACC), won 100 conference games and was a two-time ACC Coach-of-the-Year. He coached 25 academic All-ACC selections and five Academic All-Americans. Eleven of his players were chosen on-the-field All-Americans. Howard was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1989.
Hootie Ingram 1970-72 Hootie Ingram will be best remembered as the coach who made the Tiger Paw famous. Before his first year as head coach in the summer of 1970, Clemson introduced the Tiger Paw as the official logo of Clemson University’s Athletic teams. Ingram graduated from Alabama in 1955. He also received his master’s in school administration from Alabama and later became Crimson Tide athletic director. The native of Tuscaloosa, AL was an All-Southeastern Conference defensive back for the Crimson Tide his senior year. He had his best season (5-6) at Clemson in 1971. He also finished second in the ACC standings with a 4-2 league mark in 1971.

Red Parker 1973-76 Red Parker spent four years at Clemson as head coach. His 1974 squad lived up to the theme “Excitement Galore, Clemson Football ’74” and had a 7-4 record, with victories over Georgia, Georgia Tech and South Carolina. Before arriving in Tigertown, Parker spent seven years (1966-72) as head coach at The Citadel. He guided the Bulldogs to a 8-3 record during in the 1971 campaign. Parker earned a bachelor’s degree in physical education from Arkansas A&M in 1953. Prior to his graduation, he earned three letters each in football, basketball and track, as a running back-defensive back, second baseman-shortstop, and sprinter.
Charley Pell 1977,78 Charley Pell, who was Clemson’s head coach in 1977,78 authored college football’s Cinderella story in 1977. The Albertville, AL product took a team that was 3-6-2 in 1976, and led the ’77 Tigers to an 8-21 regular-season mark and a berth in the Gator Bowl. It was Clemson’s first final top-20 season since 1959. He coached Clemson to a 10-1 regular season in the 1978 season before he left to become head coach at Florida. Clemson’s 1978 team beat Ohio State in the Gator Bowl and finished ranked #6 in the AP poll in his second year as Clemson’s head coach. He was a near unanimous choice as ACC Coach-of-theYear in 1977 and 1978, the first coach, regardless of sport, to win ACC Coach-of-the-Year honors in each of his first two years. A two-way starter and three-year letterwinner at Alabama, Pell was on its 1961 National Championship team. He came to Clemson in 1976 and served as assistant head coach and defensive coordinator. Pell passed away in June, 2001 after battling cancer.
Danny Ford 1978-89 Danny Ford had an auspicious beginning to his head coaching career. He gained a 17-15 victory over Ohio State in the 1978 Gator Bowl in a nationally-televised game. The 30-year-old coach, the youngest in Division I at the time, also defeated a college football legend in a contest that truly put Clemson football on the national map, as he defeated Woody Hayes in the latter’s last game. He had taken over the coaching reigns on December 10, 1978 when Charley Pell resigned to become head coach at Florida. Ford kept things going in 1979 with wins over Georgia and Notre Dame and another trip to a bowl (Peach). In 1981, he helped Clemson reach the summit of college football by winning the national title. His Tigers downed three top-10 teams during the course of the 12-0 season that concluded with a 22-15 win over Nebraska in the Orange Bowl. Ford was named National Coach-of-the-Year. The wins continued in 1982 and 1983, as Clemson had consecutive 9-1-1 years. Clemson finished in the top 12 in both years, and had a 30-2-2 record over a three-year period, best in the nation. Clemson won three straight ACC titles under his guidance between 1986-88. In 1989, Clemson registered a 10-2 season and top 12 national ranking, the fourth straight season Clemson finished in the final AP top 20. He closed

all 11 players were recruited by West. The list included three first-round defensive selections (Trevor Pryce, Anthony Simmons, Antwan Edwards). Clemson was the only school in the nation to have six defensive players drafted in 1999 and the only school to have a first-round defensive choice in 1997, 1998, and 1999. The native of Gainesville, GA finished his career with a 31-28 record, and had four wins over top-25 teams. He was the head coach at Memphis from 2001-09 and he led the Tigers to a nine-win season and the program’s first bowl appearance in 32 years in the 2003 season. He took Memphis to five bowls overall and finished with a 49-61 record at Memphis. West was the defensive coordinator at Southern Mississippi in 2012.
DANNY FORD LED CLEMSON TO ITS ONLY NATIONAL TITLE IN THE 1981 SEASON.
Tommy Bowden
his career with a 27-7 win over West Virginia in the Gator Bowl, his sixth bowl win in eight tries and his fourth in succession. Ford was the third winningest active coach in the nation on a percentage basis at the end of the 1989 season. He finished with a 96-29-4 career ledger at Clemson and remains one of only two coaches in ACC history with better than a 75 percent winning mark (minimum of four years). He finished with a 76-percent winning percentage and five ACC Championships, second only to Frank Howard’s six crowns. The 1969 Alabama graduate is still the youngest coach to win the national title, as he was just 33-years-old when the Tigers shocked the college football world in 1981. He coached 71 first-team All ACC selections and 26 All-Americans. Forty-two of his former Tigers were drafted by the NFL, and he earned 18 wins over AP top-20 teams during his career, more than any other Clemson coach. Additionally, 11 of his former players won Super Bowl Championship rings. At one stretch his teams were ranked in the AP top 20 for 41 consecutive polls, a Clemson record. Ford is a member of the Clemson Hall of Fame, the state of South Carolina Hall of Fame, and the Orange Bowl Hall of Fame. Ford was an All-SEC pick and All-SEC Academic choice at Alabama. He attended Alabama initially on a basketball/ football scholarship, but he only played football after his freshman season. Ford played in three bowl games for the Crimson Tide. He later served as head coach at Arkansas from 1994-97. He is now retired and living in nearby Pendleton, SC.
Ken Hatfield 1990-93 Ken Hatfield led the Tigers to a 32-13-1 record over his four year tenure, led the squad to three bowl appearances and an ACC title. With a victory over Illinois in the 1991 Hall of Fame Bowl, Hatfield became the first Clemson coach to win 10 games in his first year and his .833 winning percentage was the best for a first-year Clemson coach since 1900, when John Heisman was 6-0. That season included six victories over teams with winning records, more than any other team that year with the exception of National Champion Georgia Tech. Hatfield was also just the eighth coach in the previous 13 years to take a team to a top-10 AP final ranking in his first year with the program, as the Tigers finished the season ranked #9 in the AP poll. The Helena, AR native would also lead the 1991 and 1993 Tiger teams to top 25-rankings.
CLEMSONTIGERS.COM
Clemson became the third school that Hatfield coached to a top-20 ranking, as his 1983 Air Force team ranked #15 and he led four Arkansas teams to top-20 rankings. He became the sixth coach in NCAA history to accomplish that feat. Hatfield played for three years at Arkansas (1962-64) and was a starter on the 1964 National Championship team. The defensive back earned his fame as the nation’s top punt returner in 1963 and 1964. He still ranks as the only player ever to finish in the top two in the nation in punt returns three straight years, as he finished second in 1962. He retired as the head coach at Rice in 2005 with 168 career victories. He is now retired and living in Arkansas.
Tommy West 1993-98 Tommy West’s five-year resumé as Clemson head coach included four bowl appearances, 12 road victories, 86 school records, and unparalleled academic excellence. West took Clemson to three straight bowl games between the 1995 and 1997 seasons, just the second Clemson coach in history to take the Tigers to bowl games in three straight seasons. Academically, 61 Tigers made the ACC Academic Honor Roll in his last four years, twice as many as the best previous four-year total in school history. West took over as head coach on November 29, 1993 and less than a month later had a bowl victory. The former Tennessee tight end succeeded Ken Hatfield, who left four days after a victory over South Carolina to end the 1993 season. It was West’s second tour of duty with Clemson. He had been a linebackers coach under Danny Ford between 198289. Clemson was 69-20-4 and had six AP top 20 finishes in that eight-year era. West coached the Tigers in the 1993 Peach Bowl, a thrilling 14-13 victory over Kentucky. He became the first coach in college history to gain victory in a bowl game in his first game without having coached the team in any capacity earlier in the year. West’s best season was 1995, as Clemson finished the regular season with five straight victories by 17 points or more and was invited to the Gator Bowl. Clemson was ranked in the top 25 of every poll at the end of the 1995 regular season. That Clemson team also finished fourth in the nation in rushing offense. West recruited some of the top players in Clemson history. The school was in the top 10 in the nation in NFL draftees during the 1998 and 1999 selection process, and
1999-08 Tommy Bowden was a consistent winner over his nineand-a-half years as Clemson’s head coach. From 1999-08, he never had a losing season, and that included a streak of eight consecutive winning seasons from 2000-07. During those seasons, only four other Division I coaches had a winning season in all eight of those years with the same program. Bowden was a two-time ACC Coach-of-the-Year, joining Frank Howard, Charley Pell, and Danny Ford with that distinction. He first won the honor in 1999, his first year when he took over a team that had been 3-8 the previous season, to a 6-6 season against a top-10 schedule according to the Sagarin ratings. Clemson played three undefeated teams during the regular season (Marshall, Virginia Tech, Florida State). His first year included a nationally-televised game against Florida State that featured the first-ever Division I coaching matchup of father and son. Bobby Bowden’s Seminoles won that game by a score of 17-14, Florida State’s closest game in an undefeated National Championship season. The game attracted over 85,000 fans and the largest media contingent in the history of Memorial Stadium. There were nine Bowden Bowls overall, with Bobby winning five, but Tommy won four of the last five. Bowden took Clemson to an 8-0 start and a #3 national ranking in 2000 before finishing with a 9-2 regular-season record and a #14 final ranking. The regular season concluded with a 16-14 victory over a top-25 South Carolina team. A 50-yard pass from Woodrow Dantzler to Rod Gardner is regarded as one of the most-exciting plays in Clemson history. The following year, Dantzler went on to become the first quarterback in Division I history to reach 2,000 passing yards and 1,000 rushing yards in a single season. Bowden also won ACC Coach-of-the-Year honors in 2003 when he led the Tigers to a 9-4 record. That season, the Tigers won their last four games, including a 26-10 win over #3 Florida State. That is tied for the highest-ranked team Clemson has beaten in school history. Clemson defeated South Carolina 63-17 in the regular-season finale and completed the season with a 27-14 win over #6 Tennessee in the Peach Bowl. Clemson finished the year in the top 25 of both polls as well. Bowden finished with a 7-2 record against the Gamecocks. The 77.8 winning percentage is the best in school history among Tiger coaches who served the program at least five years. All seven of his wins were over Hall of Fame Head Coaches Lou Holtz and Steve Spurrier. After a 3-3 start to the 2008 season, Bowden resigned on October 13, four days after a 12-7 loss at Wake Forest. He had a 72-45 record (.615) at Clemson for those nineand-a-half seasons. Bowden never had a losing season, overall or in the ACC, during his nine complete seasons. He led the Tigers to eight bowl games. Bowden resides in Florida and is a college football commentator for Jefferson-Pilot Network and Fox Sports.
