GAME 4

SENIOR LINEBACKERS TONY STEWARD (#7) AND STEPHONE ANTHONY (#42) LEAD A STINGY TIGER DEFENSE INTO BATTLE AGAINST THE TAR HEELS TODAY IN DEATH VALLEY.

TODAY'S GAME By Tim Bourret

TIGERS SQUARE OFF AGAINST THE TAR HEELS FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 2011.

DIFFICULT SLATE Clemson is off to a 1-2 start but has played a difficult schedule. According to the Sagarin computer rating, Clemson has played the most difficult schedule in the country with an 84.4 rating. Rice is second and Southern Methodist is third in terms of most difficult schedules among FBS schools. The Tigers opened the season with a loss at No. 12 Georgia and lost last week at top-ranked Florida State in overtime. Clemson is one of just three schools to play two games against AP top-12 teams so far this year (Southern Methodist and West Virginia are the others). Clemson is also the only school in the nation to play two top-12 teams on the road.

CLEMSON BEGINS A THREEGAME ACC HOMESTAND TODAY AGAINST NORTH CAROLINA.

How rare is such a difficult start to the schedule? This is the first time since 1966 that Clemson played two top-12 teams within its first three games of the season and just the fourth time in school history. Head Coach Frank Howard was well known for taking on all challengers. His 1959, 1963 and 1966 teams all played two road games against top-12 teams within its first three contests. As far as the ACC is concerned, Clemson is the first league school to play two road games against top-12ranked teams within the first three games of the season since 2001, when North Carolina played at No. 3 Oklahoma and at No. 4 Texas within its first three games. That Tar Heel team also played No. 6 Florida State at home in the fourth game.

played home games against ACC teams on five consecutive Saturdays from September 26 to October 31. Clemson played a record eight home games that year, including six against ACC squads. This will be just the fifth time Clemson plays three consecutive home games against ACC teams. It also happened in 1959.

DEFENSE STRONG AGAINST SEMINOLES Clemson is in the top 12 in the nation in a number of defensive categories, and the unit’s performance at topranked Florida State had a lot to do with it. Clemson is second in the nation in tackles for loss per game (9.7),

THREE-GAME HOMESTAND

CO-EDITORS

Clemson begins a three-game homestand today when North Carolina comes to town. There have been many homestands of three games or more, but it is rare to have the homestand against only ACC teams. After today’s game against North Carolina, the Tigers host NC State on October 4 and Louisville on October 11. This is the first time since 1991 that Clemson plays three straight home games against ACC foes. That year, Clemson played Virginia on October 12, NC State on October 26 and Wake Forest on November 2. This is the first time in 25 years that Clemson plays three straight ACC home games on consecutive weekends. During the 1989 season, Clemson played at home against ACC teams the entire month of October. The Tigers opened the month with a win over Virginia on October 7, then played Georgia Tech on October ATHLETIC WEBSITE ClemsonTigers.com 14, NC State on October 21 and Wake Forest on October 28.

LAST WEEK'S RESULTS

sixth in first downs allowed (44), 11th in third-down conversion percentage defense (25.6), 11th in pass efficiency defense (97.7) and 12th in total defense, allowing 273.3 yards per game. Clemson led the nation in tackles for loss in 2013. The Tigers held Florida State to just 13 rushing yards, as the Tigers registered five sacks and 10 tackles for loss. The 13 rushing yards were the fewest allowed by a Clemson defense in a loss in history. The negative plays set Florida State backwards 62 yards during the course of the game, as Florida State averaged just 0.5 yards per carry. Overall, Clemson held Florida State to 4.8 yards per play and allowed only 4-15 third-down conversions.

TAR HEEL UPDATE North Carolina enters today’s game with a 2-1 record and has yet to play an ACC contest. Head Coach Larry Fedora’s team is coming off a 70-41 loss at East Carolina. The Tar Heels have an explosive offense that is led by quarterback Marquise Williams. He led North Carolina to a strong finish last year, including a 39-17 bowl victory over Cincinnati. So far this year, he has completed 53-83 passes for 551 yards and four touchdowns. North Carolina has outstanding wide receivers, led by Mack Hollins, who has a 30.2-yard average on eight catches. He is second in the ACC in yards per catch and is fifth in receiving yards per game (80.7). Ryan Switzer is another outstanding receiver, and he is also among the top punt returners in the nation. Switzer is third in the ACC in receptions per game (5.3). In 2013, he set an NCAA record with five punt returns for touchdown. Austin Proehl is a freshman who will see action. He is the son of Ricky Proehl, who was a standout player for Wake Forest before a 17-year NFL career. The elder Proehl had four receiving touchdowns against Clemson in his four years as a Demon Deacon. T.J. Thorpe is another player the Tigers remember. He had a 100-yard kickoff return for a score against Clemson in 2011, a day he had 234 all-purpose yards. One of the North Carolina defensive coaches is Ron West, who played on Clemson’s 1977 and 1978 bowl teams. The Tigers finished No. 6 in the final AP poll his senior year. West was an assistant coach at Clemson

under Head Coach Tommy Bowden at Clemson from 1999-08. He is one of the few assistant coaches in Tiger history to coach at least four years on each side of the ball.

BEASLEY NEARING SACK MARK Defensive end Vic Beasley is moving up the school’s career sack list at an alarming rate. He has four sacks in the first three games this year and has 25 in his career. He is just three away from the Clemson record of 28 sacks held by the late Gaines Adams and Michael Dean Perry. Beasley is tied for third with all-time great William Perry, the 1984 ACC Player-of-the-Year as a middle guard. Beasley had eight sacks as a sophomore in 2012 when he played just 288 snaps as a reserve. He increased that total to 13 sacks in 2013 when he led the ACC. He has four sacks in three games this year, including two at top-ranked Florida State when he helped the Tigers hold the Seminoles to just 13 rushing yards. Beasley has had at least one sack in five straight games as well.

WATSON GETS THE START Deshaun Watson is expected to be Clemson’s starting quarterback tonight against North Carolina. He can become the first first-year freshman to start at quarterback for Clemson in 20 years. In 1994, Nealon Greene started five games at quarterback, the last being against South Carolina. Watson was 19-28 passing for 266 yards and had 30 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries at No. 1 Florida State last weekend, giving him 296 yards of total offense. The 296 yards were the most by a Tiger first-year freshman. The previous mark was 288 by Willie Jordan at Georgia Tech in 1975. Watson’s passing yardage was the second-most by a Tiger first-year freshman and the most since Patrick Sapp passed for 273 yards at Maryland in 1992. Greene was 2-3 as a starter in 1994, Sapp was 1-3 in 1992, Jordan was 1-5 in 1975 and Steve Fuller was 0-1 in 1975. Therefore, Tiger firstyear freshman signalClemson is 4-5 (.444) all-time callers are a combined on September 27. The last 4-12 over the years.

A PERFECT FIT THE TAR HEEL STATE NATIVE AND LINEBACKER FOUND A HOME AT CLEMSON IN 2011 AND HAS BEEN A PERFECT FIT IN THE MIDDLE OF BRENT VENABLES’ STOUT DEFENSE. BY SCHUYLER EASTERLING

CLEMSONTIGERS.COM

@ClemsonFB

n the waning moments of the 2014 Orange Bowl, the tension in Sun Life Stadium was rising faster than high tide on nearby South Beach. With 1:27 remaining on the clock and Clemson clinging to a 40-35 lead over No. 6 Ohio State, the Buckeyes were given life by an untimely interception. With the game in the balance, Clemson’s defense needed someone to rise to the challenge. Then, as he has so many other times throughout his career, Tiger linebacker Stephone Anthony happened to be in the right place at the right time. With one leaping, seemingly slow-motion snag, Anthony delivered the knockout blow to Ohio State in the form of a spectacular game-winning interception. “The coaching staff made a great call and I just happened to be the man lucky enough to make the play,” recalled the always-humble Anthony with a shrug and flash of his trademark grin. Although his late-game heroics in the Orange Bowl have left an indelible impression in the minds of all Clemson fans, it has been Anthony’s consistent playmaking ability and steely defense over the past four seasons that have endeared him to Tiger Nation. But long before #42 was routinely bringing the Death Valley faithful to their feet, there was a boy from the small town of Polkton, N.C. with incredible athleticism, a love for football and a dream. “Football has been such a huge part of my life,” stated Anthony. “I began playing ball when I was seven or eight

years old. My older brother got my interest going in sports and my family was always supportive and encouraging of my athletic career. I worked hard and was blessed to draw the attention of Clemson in high school.” Not only did Anthony turn the heads of Tiger Defensive Tackles Coach Dan Brooks and then-Clemson Defensive Coordinator Kevin Steele, he turned the heads of just about everyone in the

country. Put simply, Anthony dominated the competition as a three-sport athlete at Anson High School. A four-year starter, Anthony’s senior season culminated with 123 tackles, 16 tackles for loss, four sacks and two interceptions. Accolades and offers flooded the Anthony household. He was named a USA Today FirstTeam All-American, Parade First-Team All-American and the No. 1 outside

linebacker in the nation by ESPN.com. With invitations to the Shrine Bowl and Under Armour All-American Game, the battle for Anthony’s commitment was as intense as any in the country. On national signing day, Anthony chose Clemson over North Carolina and Virginia Tech, causing a celebration ruckus in Tigertown. “I was looking for a place that fit me,” stated Anthony. “Clemson reminded me

a lot of my hometown - a smaller town, but not too small and not too big. The people here are awesome. I knew Clemson was a place I could enjoy and fit in with the culture.” Coincidentally, another top-rated linebacker recruit shared a similar outlook. Hailing from Hastings, Fla., Tony Steward signed with Clemson on the same day, solidifying one of the stron-

gest linebacker classes in school history. Little did Anthony and Steward realize that their signed letters of intent would also solidify a lasting friendship. “Tony’s like a brother to me,” admitted Anthony. “It just happened to be a coincidence that both of us ended up with Clemson on signing day. It was the beginning of a great friendship. We just hit it off. We started as roommates and

now we’re out there competing to make this team and ourselves the best we can be. “We take care of each other, look out for each other and we won’t let each other fail. Having the opportunity to play together is special. We’re committed to making our last season a great one.” Today, Anthony and the Tigers are looking to take another step closer to a great season by securing a win against the visiting Tar Heels from North Carolina. Not only is today’s game a pivotal matchup in the ACC, it is a pivotal matchup for the Anthony family. “As a native North Carolinian, this game splits my house down the middle,” laughed Anthony. “It’s a fun game to be a part of. I have some good friends wearing ‘Carolina Blue’ across the field from me. Having the chance to play against them is always great. Hopefully, I’ll be able to knock them around a little.” The last time Clemson squared off with the Tar Heels, the freshman logged 27 snaps and notched three tackles en route to a 59-38 victory. Now a seasoned veteran and leader on the Tiger defense, Anthony is anchoring the 2014 linebacker corps. “It’s crazy thinking the last time I lined up against North Carolina I was a freshman doing my best to learn the defense and contribute,” said Anthony. “Now, my role is completely different. I’m here to be a leader. I want to be able to positively impact the people around me, and especially mentor some of the younger guys. “As a senior, my time at Clemson is just about over. It’s important for me to impart some wisdom on the culture of this program, what we’ve built at Clemson and what we need to accomplish. I was blessed enough to be a part of the

2011 ACC Championship team. I’ve tasted what it’s like to be a champion and it’s the best feeling. ‘Best is the standard,’ and I’m determined to help get Clemson there again.” Defenses win championships, and for Anthony, that challenge suits him just fine. The hallmarks of great Clemson teams have long been tenacious defenses with dominating, bruising linebackers. For a school with such a rich linebacker tradition that produced greats like Jeff Davis, Levon Kirkland and Keith Adams, Anthony’s presence on the field ensures the linebacker tradition at Clemson is staying strong. In 2013, Anthony led Clemson in tackles with 131, including 13.5 tackles for loss and four sacks. He was second on the team in tackles for loss behind All-American Vic Beasley. Seven times he led or tied for the team lead in tackles, including the Ohio State game when he had 11. So far this season, Anthony has accumulated 18 tackles, including a teamhigh 5.5 tackles for loss. But it is not just the plays on the field that the defensive stalwart hopes to be remembered for after he graduates from Clemson. “It’s natural that we all want to be remembered as great players,” added Anthony. “However, I’d like to leave something deeper here. I want Stephone Anthony to be remembered as Stephone Anthony. “Remember my character, the hard work and the opportunities I’ve been blessed with. I don’t take what I’ve been given by God for granted. Every time I put on that uniform, I’m reminded how special it is to be a Clemson Tiger. I’m ready to make this last ride a memorable one.”

PATIENCE PAYS OFF THE SENIOR LINEBACKER CAME TO CLEMSON AS ONE OF THE MOST HIGHLY-RATED PLAYERS. BUT INJURIES HELD HIM BACK FROM REACHING HIS POTENTIAL, UNTIL THIS SEASON. BY HANNAH BURLESON

enior linebacker Tony Steward had his choice of colleges coming out of Pedro Menendez High School. He was as a USA Today First-Team All American and rated as one of the best linebackers in the country. Though Steward did not know much about the Tigers early on in his recruiting process, he quickly learned about the South Carolina institution after talking with some fellow athletes in his area. “I didn’t know much about Clemson growing up in Florida,” admitted the Hastings, Fla. native. “Talking with some of the other guys from my area who were

recruited by Clemson and some who ultimately came to Clemson opened my eyes.” Steward decided to take a visit to Tigertown to see for himself what was so special about this place he kept hearing about. It did not take him long to realize that Clemson was where he wanted to be. “I came to camp the summer heading into my junior year and that immediately put Clemson on the radar for me,” recalled #7. “I became very interested in Clemson. I was able to meet most of the coaches and got a feel for the place, not just the football aspect of things.”

Steward ultimately chose Clemson and wanted to be a part of the program Head Coach Dabo Swinney was building. He contributed to the team his freshman year and was coming into his own under Kevin Steele’s system, but then an injury threw a wrench into his plan to contribute early and often. He tore a ligament in his knee, causing him to miss the last seven games of the 2011 season. Along with rehabbing his ACL tear, his second in a year after tearing the other during his senior year of high school, Steward was forced to start from scratch and learn a new system when Brent Ven-

ables was hired as defensive coordinator prior to the 2012 season. When asked what it was like to tear both ACLs and undergo a coaching change, all in a one-year span, he chuckled, “it wasn’t too bad.” It turns out Steward liked the system that Venables was putting in motion, but the injury hampered him from adapting to the system on the gridiron, and not just by studying the playbook. “The biggest thing after I got hurt and Coach Venables came in was catching on to his new system when I wasn’t able to get the reps,” explained Steward. “When I finally got in, repetition made a big dif-

ference in how I was able catch on so fast.” Though Steward had heard about the Clemson Family, he experienced it firsthand after his injury. “I’ve always thought of myself as a mentally-strong person, so that helped me get through that season, but also, all the support staff and coaches around here helped me mentally,” remarked Steward. “I knew it would be a long process to get back on the field and contribute. I prayed a lot. It made me stronger in my faith. I continued to try to better myself and keep positive thoughts.” After all of the adversity he faced, Steward is making great strides. Through

the first three games of this season, he is Clemson’s top tackler with 21. Twelve of those came in the season-opener at No. 12 Georgia. “It’s awesome to be back on the field and contribute to the team,” stated Steward. “It reassures me and hopefully everyone else that hard work does pay off. As long as you’re willing to work and put in the time, you will reap the benefits.” During his injury and the transition period, Steward had support from the Clemson Family, his coaches and teammates. One teammate and friend who supported Steward along the way was fellow linebacker Stephone Anthony. Anthony and Steward came to Clemson

in the same freshman class and bonded from the beginning. “Stephone is an awesome guy,” smiled Steward. “When I got hurt, he reassured me that everything would be alright and we would be on the field together. Having him support me like that as a teammate and friend has helped bring us closer together. “We are as close as anyone here. Because we play the same position, that helps a lot, too. We talk on the field and off the field. We are very tight.” Now that Steward has hold of a starting linebacker role, something he has coveted, he plans to take full advantage. “I hope to contribute to the team as much as possible,” he said. “I want to

be a good player, but also continue to be a positive leader for the younger guys.” Steward embraces the leadership role that comes with being a senior. “I’ve always enjoyed being a leader. Most of my life I’ve been a silent leader, but here I have to be a vocal one. It hasn’t been too hard of an adjustment...I’ve eased into it. I have so many other good senior leaders around me that it makes it easy. We all do our part.” Steward thinks this team has the potential to be special and is excited to see what the future holds for the 2014 Tigers. “What makes our team special is the chemistry we all have,” stated Steward. “The sky is the limit for this team. As long as we continue working hard, everything should take care of itself.” As far as plans after graduation, Steward hopes to stay around the game of football and be a positive role model for younger kids. “I would love to pursue football at the next level, but if it’s not meant to be, I will use my degree to get a job in the sports field. I want to work with kids, whether it’s at a community recreation center, coaching, a boys & girls club or even athletes at the college level.” There is no doubt Clemson is the place he was meant to be, and he now embraces being a part of the Clemson Family, something he only learned of in 2009, but cannot imagine his life without. “The Clemson Family is an extension of my immediate family,” added Steward. “I’m from so far away, but it feels like I’m home here. Clemson makes it easy to be a part of the family and makes you feel welcome. From my first visit on, I knew this place was special.” Tony Steward, the Clemson Family thinks you are pretty special, too.

FOUR TIGER TEAMS - THREE FOOTBALL AND ONE MEN’S SOCCER - RETURN TO TIGERTOWN THIS WEEKEND TO REUNITE WITH THEIR TEAMMATES AND COACHES. READ THOUGHTS FROM TIM BOURRET ON THESE SQUADS THAT ESTABLISHED THEIR MARK IN THE CLEMSON RECORDBOOKS. BY TIM BOURRET

oday is reunion weekend for four Clemson athletic teams - three football squads and a National Championship men’s soccer team. It is always a special day for those teams as they celebrate their anniversaries. Honored today are the Clemson football teams of 1964, 1989 and 2004 as they celebrate their 50th, 25th and 10th anniversaries, respectively. The 1984 National Championship men’s soccer team, the second national title team in any sport at Clemson, will also be recognized. While the 1964 Tiger team had facemasks, it was the first year of two-platoon football. That means the seniors on that team were used to going both ways until their final season. It was certainly a different era. This was not one of Head Coach Frank Howard’s great teams, but it did lay the foundation for greatness. The 1965, 1966 and 1967 Tiger teams all won the ACC title, the first time Clemson won three in a row, and it was obvious that this group showed the future Tiger teams how to be good leaders. Hal Davis, Ted Bunton and John Boyette were some of the top players on this squad. Boyette was drafted by the Buffalo Bills of the AFL and Cleveland Browns of the NFL. Clemson’s 1989 team was extremely talented, as nine players earned First-Team All-ACC honors, a big reason the Tigers finished with a 10-2 record, No. 11 ranking in the coaches poll and No. 12 ranking in the AP poll. This Clemson team raced to a 4-0 record and No. 7 national ranking thanks to a 34-23 victory at Florida State in the second

game of the season. That was a remarkable performance for Head Coach Danny Ford’s team, as the Tigers jumped to a 28-7 halftime lead thanks to a 73-yard interception return for a score by Wayne Simmons and a 73-yard touchdown run by Terry Allen just before halftime. Florida State had been ranked No. 6 in the preseason poll and would go on to finish with a 10-2 record and No. 3 final ranking in the AP poll. This Clemson team did have a couple of bumps in the road, losses at Duke and against Georgia Tech in a three-week span, and those losses cost Clemson

what would have been a record fourth straight ACC Championship. But in the end, the Tigers were the highest-ranked ACC team when the final poll was released. This Clemson team had a perfect 3-0 record against top-25 foes, including a 27-7 win over West Virginia in the 1989 Gator Bowl. The Tigers finished the regular season with a 45-0 victory over South Carolina. Like the 1964 team, the 2004 Tiger squad set the table for some outstanding teams. It finished 6-5 but won five of the last six contests, including a victory over

No. 10 Miami (Fla.) at the Orange Bowl that allowed Clemson fans in attendance to relive that 1981 victory over Nebraska in the same facility. It would be Clemson’s last appearance at the famed Orange Bowl that was the site of the Tigers’ first national title in any sport. Clemson won that game in overtime by a score of 24-17 when Reggie Merriweather scored the gamewinner on a two-yard touchdown run. Clemson concluded the season with a 29-7 win over South Carolina. This team was led by ACC Defensive Player-of-theYear Leroy Hill, ACC-leading receiver Airese Currie and All-America defensive back and kick returner Justin Miller. There was nothing tainted about Clemson’s 1984 NCAA Soccer Championship, as the Tigers faced the most difficult draw possible in the postseason event. Clemson had to win five games in the NCAA Tournament, and all five were against top-15 teams. That included the No. 1, No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4 seeds in the tournament. This Tiger team became the first in any sport in NCAA history to defeat the top-four overall seeds in a tournament to win the national title. Dr. I.M. Ibrahim’s team finished with a 22-4 record and captured the title in the Kingdome in Seattle, Wash. with a 2-1 victory over Indiana, who had defeated Clemson earlier in the season. John Lee scored the game-winner at the 88:18 mark on an assist from game MVP Maxwell Amatasiro, giving Clemson its first NCAA title in an Olympic sport. Welcome back to all the student-athletes and coaches who made contributions to these teams that enhanced the tradition of Tiger athletics.

President

JAMES P. CLEMENTS THE DISTINGUISHED SCHOLAR, NATIONALLY-RECOGNIZED VOICE IN HIGHER EDUCATION AND PROVEN LEADER UNDERSTANDS THE UNIQUE MISSION OF THE LANDGRANT UNIVERSITY THAT CLEMSON UNIVERSITY IS.

lemson University’s 15th president, James P. Clements, took office Dec. 31, 2013 after serving nearly five years as president of West Virginia University. He succeeded James F. Barker, who retired after serving as president for 14 years. Clements is also a professor in the School of Computing, College of Engineering & Science. Since arriving at Clemson in time to watch the Tigers win the 2014 Orange Bowl as one of his first official acts, Clements has hit the ground running - working to increase state funding, gaining approvals for major new student housing projects, breaking ground or beginning construction on new academic facilities, including the Watt Innovation Center, exceeding annual fundraising goals with $115 million raised in the 2013-14 fiscal year and filling key leadership positions. Clements is a nationally-recognized voice in higher education who currently serves as chair-elect of the board of directors of the Association of Public & Land-Grant Universities and will become chair of the board in November. He also serves as co-chair of APLU’s Energy Forum, chair of the American Council on Education’s Commission on Leadership and member of the Business Higher Education Forum that includes Fortune 500 CEOs and higher education executives. He is a member of the Council on Competitiveness and was the only university president to serve on the U.S. Department of Commerce Innovation Advisory Board.

The Championship Awards Room in the golf clubhouse is named for Beth’s parents - Clif and Priscilla Smith. Jim and Beth’s daughter, Hannah, is a sophomore at Clemson.

ollege football is a new era in 2014 with the College Football Playoff, and Director of Athletics Dan Radakovich is at the forefront. In 2013, he was one of 13 people, including one of only five FBS directors of athletics, to be named to the committee. His selection to the committee is another testament to the level of respect he carries on a national basis. In 2012, he was named by NCAA President Mark Emmert as one of 10 directors of athletics from around the nation to a new advisory commission charged with making recommendations for the future of NCAA rules and policies. Radakovich became Clemson’s 13th director of athletics on Dec. 1, 2012. He came with a wealth of experience after serving in significant athletic administrative roles at Miami (Fla.), Long Beach State, South Carolina and Louisiana State in addition to athletic directorships at American University and Georgia Tech. His administrative career spans over 26 years. In his first full year as director of athletics, Clemson had a strong allaround performance on the field and in the classroom. Clemson was one of just three programs nationally to win at least 11 football games, 23 men’s basketball games and 36 baseball games over the course of the academic year. Each of the Tiger sport programs exceeded the NCAA baseline standards for Academic Progress Rate, and six programs posted perfect 1000 single-year scores, including men’s and women’s cross country, diving, women’s soccer, women’s tennis and volleyball. Six of Clemson’s athletic teams and more than 53 percent of all studentathletes posted a 2014 spring semester grade point average of 3.0 or better, and student-athletes earned a cumulative grade point average of 2.90.

THE RADAKOVICH FAMILY - DAN AND WIFE, MARCIE, ALONG WITH SONS, CHRISTIAN (LEFT) AND GRANT (RIGHT).

On an individual basis, the program had 51 first-team AllAmericans in 10 sports, 30 academic All-Americans, two national coach-of-the-year selections and two national player-of-the-year selections. The program had 13 ACC Coach-ofthe-Year and 13 ACC Player-ofthe-Year 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 is 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 initiated the Athletic Director’s Initiative Fund, started in 2006, which raised cash and pledges of more than $12 million. The Aliquippa, Pa. native was first made aware of Tiger athletics through the basketball exploits of Butch Zatezalo, who was from the same town. Zatezalo was a three-time All-ACC Tiger 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 (2003) the Tigers won the National Championship. Radakovich became a director of athletics for the first time at American University in Washington, D.C. in 2000. Between the 1994-00 seasons, 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 at Long Beach State. He got his start in administration at Miami (Fla.) in 1983 as the athletic business manager. 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 alumnus from Indiana (Pa.) in 2009. He earned his master’s degree in business administration from Miami (Fla.) in 1982. Radakovich, born June 9, 1958, and his wife, Marcie, have two children, Christian, a 2012 Georgia Tech graduate, and Grant, a student-athlete who plays football at Mercer.

Director of Athletics

DAN RADAKOVICH CLEMSON’S 13TH DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS HAS OVER 26 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE AT PROGRAMS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. In 2013, the football team finished with an 11-2 mark, a No. 7 national ranking in the USA Today poll and a top-10 ranking in APR score. The men’s basketball team reached the NIT semifinals in New York and the baseball team reached the NCAA Tournament for the 27th time in the last 28 years. In women’s sports, the tennis team reached the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament for the eighth time in the last 10 years and the golf team finished with a No. 14 national ranking in its first year of competition. Those programs, plus the men’s tennis and men’s soccer teams, earned team bids to NCAA Tournaments. He has always been a director of action when it comes to facilities, and in his first year, projects were put in place at the West endzone of Memorial Stadium and a new player facility at Doug

Kingsmore Stadium. He also announced plans for a new Littlejohn Coliseum. The Tiger program had a strong finish to the 2012-13 academic year under Radakovich’s guidance. It 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. Radakovich came to Clemson from Georgia Tech, where he served with distinction for six years (2006-12). Just Clemson’s fifth director of athletics since 1940, he replaced Terry Don Phillips, who retired after over 10 years directing the program. 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. 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.

Head Coach

DABO SWINNEY AS CLEMSONâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S 25TH HEAD COACH, DABO SWINNEY AND HIS ALL-IN APPROACH, BOTH ON AND OFF THE FIELD, HAS LED THE PROGRAM TO RECORD-SETTING HEIGHTS.

here is a strong coaching heritage over the 118 years of Clemson football that dates to the early 1900s, when John Heisman led the program. Jess Neely and Frank Howard continued the winning and joined Heisman in the College Football Hall of Fame. Danny Ford, a finalist for the Hall of Fame last year, led Clemson to the 1981 National Championship. Dabo Swinney has been at Clemson for just six years as head coach, but he is making progress towards joining the Tiger legends of the past. He will be the first person to tell you that the program has not reached all of its goals just yet, but there have been some significant accomplishments. The last two years were especially noteworthy, with two top-10 final USA Today rankings, a first for the Tigers since the 1987,88 seasons. Each team won 11 games, the first time Clemson won 11 games in consecutive years. From 2011-13, Clemson had a 32-8 record, the most wins in a three-year period in Tiger history. Clemson is one of just eight schools to total 10+ wins each of the last three years. Twenty-one of the victories came against ACC teams, including a 38-10 triumph over No. 3 Virginia Tech that gave the Tigers the 2011 ACC title. Eight of the 32 wins the last three years came against top-25 teams, including five against top-10 opponents. The program became the first non-SEC program to defeat top-10 SEC teams in consecutive games in history. Clemson was in the top 10 of APR scores and the final top 25 of the AP and USA Today polls in 2011, 2012 and 2013, the only FBS program that can make that claim. In six years (five full seasons) as head coach, Swinney has directed Clemson to a 51-23 overall record (.689) and a 33-12 ACC regular-season mark (.733). 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. Clemson recorded double-digit wins for the third year in a row in 2013, as the Tigers capped off the season with a thrilling 40-35 victory over No. 6 Ohio State in the Orange Bowl. Clemson had

THE SWINNEY FAMILY - DABO WITH WIFE, KATHLEEN, AND SONS, DREW, CLAY AND WILL. an 11-2 record after finishing 7-1 in ACC regular-season games for the second year in a row. It marked Clemson’s first back-to-back 11-win seasons in school history. The Tigers were No. 12 in the final BCS standings. It was the third straight year Clemson finished in the top 15 of the BCS standings, one of only six schools that could make that claim. Clemson, who was ranked No. 7 in the final USA Today poll and No. 8 in the final AP poll, was also one of only five programs ranked in the top 20 of every BCS standing from 2011 to 2013. Tajh Boyd broke almost every Tiger career record for quarterbacks thanks in part to 2013, when he completed 68.5 percent of his passes for 3,851 yards and 34 touchdowns. Boyd’s 107 career passing touchdowns and 133 total touchdowns were ACC records as well. Sammy Watkins was a finalist for the Biletnikoff Award and was a firstteam All-America selection, as he had 101 receptions for 1,464 yards and 12 touchdowns. He established Tiger career records for receptions, receiving yards and tied the receiving touchdowns mark. For the fourth time in his first five full seasons as head coach at Clemson, Swinney was a finalist for the Liberty Mutual National Coach-of-the-Year Award in 2013. The 2012 season (11-2) was a groundbreaking year for Swinney’s Tigers when looking at the overall consistency of the program. 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 five years. The school record for consecutive wins at Memorial Stadium (13) was also established.

With Clemson’s thrilling 25-24 win over No. 7 Louisiana State in the 2012 Chick-fil-A Bowl, the Tigers finished the season ranked No. 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. The 2012 campaign featured a record-setting offense. Clemson had six of the 11 offensive players on the AllACC first team chosen by the media and set over 80 Tiger team and individual records. Swinney was a finalist for the 2012 Liberty Mutual National Coach-ofthe-Year Award for the third time.

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.

Swinney’s 2011 squad, which ended the season ranked No. 22 in the nation, captured Clemson’s first ACC title since 1991 when it beat No. 3 Virginia Tech 38-10 in the ACC Championship game in Charlotte. The win, the Tigers’ second over the Hokies in 2011, gave Clemson its first 10-win season since 1990. For his efforts, Swinney was named Bobby Dodd National Coach-of-the-Year in 2011 to become the first Tiger head coach to win a national coach-of-theyear award since 1981, when Danny Ford led Clemson to the national title. The 2010 season included wins over bowl teams Georgia Tech, Maryland and NC State. NC State was ranked No. 23

in the nation and was leading the ACC in scoring. But the defense held NC State and Russell Wilson to one touchdown and 13 points. The team excelled defensively 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 firstteam All-American in 2009 and Da’Quan Bowers duplicated the feat on the defense a year later. 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. In 2009, Swinney’s first full year as head coach, he led the Tigers to their

first championship of the ACC’s Atlantic Division. Swinney was named ACC Coach-of-the-Year by Sporting News. Swinney totaled nine wins, secondmost among FBS coaches in their first full year behind Oregon’s Chip Kelly. He also led the Tigers to their first bowl win since 2005 in the 21-13 victory over Kentucky in the Music City Bowl. Swinney’s first season included a six-game winning streak at midseason, a streak that saw the Tigers score 34+ points in every contest, a first in school history. During that stretch, the Tigers defeated No. 8 Miami (Fla.) on the road. The 40-37 overtime victory tied for the highest-ranked team Clemson has defeated on the road in history.

In October 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 regular season, including a win over South Carolina in the regular-season finale. That strong finish led to a Gator Bowl bid against Nebraska. On Dec. 1, 2008, the interim tag was removed from the title and he was named the program’s head coach. The 1993 Alabama graduate joined the Clemson staff prior to the 2003 season. In his first 11 years as an assistant or head coach, the Tigers have finished in the top 25 of the polls seven times

and have 19 wins over top-25 teams, including 10 top-25 wins as a head coach. 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 Second-Team All-ACC wideout (Derrick Hamilton, Airese Currie, Chansi Stuckey, Aaron Kelly, Jacoby Ford, Watkins, DeAndre Hopkins) in 10 of his 11 seasons in Tigertown, also an unprecedented feat at Clemson. The Alabama native has a reputation as one of the top recruiters in the na-

tion. In 2006, he was listed as the No. 5 recruiter in the nation by Rivals.com. He signed 38 players in his five recruiting seasons as an assistant coach and was a big reason the 2008 recruiting class was rated No. 2 in the nation according to ESPN.com when he signed 11 players. 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, he was a wideout on Alabama’s 1992 National Championship team. He was named Academic All-SEC along with being an SEC Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll member in 1990 and 1992. 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 1995, he received a master’s degree in business administration from Alabama. He became a full-time assistant coach at Alabama in February 1996 under Head Coach Gene Stallings (now in the Hall of Fame) and coached a total of five seasons there on a full-time basis. Swinney was assigned to coach the Crimson Tide’s wide receivers and tight ends in 1996, a season that saw Alabama win the SEC Western Division title and make an Outback Bowl appearance. At Alabama, Swinney was a part of six teams with 10+ wins, five top-10 finishes, one national title (1992), three SEC titles (1989,92,99) and five SEC Western Division titles (1992,93,94,96,99) as a player and coach. From April 2001 through February 2003, Swinney was in private business in Alabama. He married the former Kathleen Bassett in 1994. The couple has three sons, Will (16), Drew (14) and Clay (11). @ClemsonFB

MEMORIAL STADIUM FROM “THE MOST EXCITING 25 SECONDS IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL,” TO 85,000 SCREAMING TIGER FANS, DEATH VALLEY HAS GIVEN CLEMSON ONE OF THE BEST HOME-FIELD ADVANTAGES IN THE COUNTRY.

emorial 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 2013, BleacherReport.com rated Memorial Stadium as the third-best stadium in the nation. 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 33 straight seasons. A crowd has exceeded 80,000 fans 64 times since the 1983 season. In 2013, Clemson was 15th 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 No. 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 Tigers were 19-2 in their 21 home games from 2011-13 as well. 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 275 games in 72 years and have won over 73 percent of the contests (275-101-7). 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, 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 Sept. 19, 1942, Memorial Stadium opened with Clemson defeating Presbyterian College 32-13. Those 20,000 seats installed for the opener would soon grow. Howard said that on the day of the first game in the stadium, “the gates were hung at 1 p.m. and we played at 2 p.m.” 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 coaches offices, locker rooms, a strength training facility, dining room and luxury club level that holds over 1,000 seats. Through the years, Memorial Stadium has become known as “Death Valley.” It was tagged by the late Presbyterian College Head 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 A CLEMSON TRADITION SINCE 1942, THE TIGERS HAVE RUN DOWN THE HILL HUNDREDS OF TIMES IN FRONT OF RAUCOUS DEATH VALLEY CROWDS.

“THE MOST EXCITING 25 SECONDS IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL.” 38

BRENT MUSBURGER

hat 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 the way things went for the next 25 years. Either in 1964 or 1965, Sam Jones, a member of the class of 1919, made a trip to California. He stopped at a spot in Death Valley, Calif. and picked up a white flint rock. He presented it to Head Coach Frank Howard as being from Death Valley, California to Death Valley, South Carolina. The rock laid on the floor in Howard’s office in Fike Fieldhouse for years. One day, he was cleaning up his office and told Gene Willimon, who was executive secretary of IPTAY, to “take this rock and throw it over the fence or out in the ditch...do something with it, but get it out of my office!” Willimon did not think that was the way a rock should be treated. After all, it had been brought over 1,900 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 opened 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 could be heard for the next four years, but when Howard started calling it “Death Valley” in the 1950s, the name took off like wildfire. Clemson celebrated its 72nd year in the “Valley” in 2013 with a 6-1 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 Sept. 24, 1966, when Clemson played Virginia. The Tigers trailed by 18 points with 17 minutes left and came back to win 40-35 on a 75yard 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 Sept. 23, 1967, a day when Clemson defeated Wake Forest by a score of 23-6. Prior to running down the Hill, Howard told his players, “If you’re going to give me 110 percent, you can rub that Rock. If you’re not, keep your filthy hands off it!” Howard told of the incident the following day on his television show, and the story became legend. When Hootie Ingram succeeded Howard as head coach in 1970, he decided that the team would make its final entrance out of the new 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 seniors decided they wanted to come down the Hill prior to the South Carolina contest, the finale of 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. Clemson has made the entrance every home game since 1942, except for the years mentioned above and the first game of 1973 (367 times entering 2014). 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. Yahoo! Sports agrees, as it rated it the best entrance in the nation in 2014. @ClemsonFB

FOOTBALL W

hen fans envision an indoor practice facility like the one that was completed for the Tiger 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 and 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 cutting-edge 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 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 houses an 80,000-square-foot practice area that includes a full field, which is surrounded by ample sideline space to provide a comfortable environment. In order to simulate a gameday experience, there is a fully-functional scoreboard inside the facility along with four play-clocks and a videoboard. High above the fields, on the second story of the nearly 70-foot 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 fields can be seen from the building. The indoor facility, which includes more than 5,000 square feet of support,

FACILITIES also contains a small strength & conditioning area and a training room. Clemson has also taken advantage of the WestZone at Memorial Stadium, completed in 2009. It is 150,000 square feet, including a two-floor strength training facility (14,000 square feet), among the nation’s largest dedicated solely for football. The equipment room was expanded to include, among other items, new offices and a new laundry room that encompasses approximately 6,000 square feet of space. The football staff offices and meeting rooms are composed of approximately 4,000 square feet of existing space and more than 18,000 square feet of new space. The facility includes offices for the head coach, assistant coaches and support staff along with position meeting rooms and a 150-seat auditorium with a sloped floor and theater seating. The training room, located on the north side of the home team’s locker room, was expanded to include a hydrotherapy room, offices and examination rooms. The training room is 6,200 square feet as well. Prior to the 2012 season, over 8,000 square feet of enclosed space was added on the second level, which houses “The Paw,” Clemson’s training table. In the summer of 2014, WestZone underwent further renovations, including refurbishing of the recruiting areas and added graphics. Moving all football operations to the WestZone has opened up space in the Jervey and McFadden Buildings for the other 18 sports to improve their facilities for recruiting and have more office, training, conditioning and sports medicine space. This has enhanced the performance, both on and off the field, for all 19 sports.

JOEY BATSON & HIS STAFF IN THE WESTZONEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S STATE-OF-THE-ART STRENGTH TRAINING FACILITY HAVE PLAYED A BIG ROLE IN THE TIGERS TOTALING 32 VICTORIES THE PAST THREE SEASONS.

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 Tiger football team. Director of Football Strength & Conditioning Joey Batson, who is in his 18th season at Clemson, makes sure that all Tiger gridders are ready to compete against the top teams in the nation. In his first 17 years in Tigertown, Clemson has played in 15 bowl games and he has coached 25 strength All-Americans on the gridiron. It is the fourth major facilities construction since he joined the football program, an example of his desire to keep Clemson at the forefront of strength training.

CLEMSONTIGERS.COM

@ClemsonFB

The state-of-the-art facility has the best in all strength training equipment, not to mention the existence of a new sound system, nine flat-screen televisions and a nutrition station, supervised by Sports Nutritionist Lisa Chan, 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 floor has all the free-weight equipment, including a dumbbell area, and the second floor has cardio equipment. Batson has an extensive staff of strength & conditioning assistants - veteran Strength Coaches Larry Greenlee, Paul Hogan and Adam Smotherman along with Graduate Assistant Rendrick Taylor and six student administrative assistants, Hunter Hughes, Daniel Kirwin, Brandon Mahon, Drew McDuffie, Will Paruta and Scott Wilson.

GETTING INSIDE OUR HEADS

CAN UNDERSTANDING WHY WE DO THE THINGS WE DO MAKE US DO BETTER THINGS? CLEMSON’S CHARLES STARKEY BELIEVES IT CAN.

Probing emotions and values to understand character — including how we behave and how we ought to behave — is taking Charles Starkey to the very core of what makes human beings “tick.” For Starkey, associate professor of philosophy and fellow of the Rutland Institute for Ethics, the deeper questions are where character originates and how it can be developed. Questions of whether feelings can help us see, think and act, how values change over time and why values and actions don’t always align are much more than abstract discussions. Starkey’s research into the role of emotions and values in character has far-reaching implications, opening the door to the complexity of the human mind and providing an answer to the riddle of what determines our character.

CLEMSON’S INNOVATIVE & IMITATED VICKERY HALL WAS THE NATION’S FIRST STAND-ALONE FACILITY BUILT SOLELY TO PROVIDE ACADEMIC SUPPORT TO STUDENT-ATHLETES. TODAY, THE STATE-OF-THE-ART FACILITY & 17 STAFF MEMBERS PROVIDE A HOLISTIC, EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE BY INSPIRING AN ENVIRONMENT OF RESPECT, INTEGRITY & EXCELLENCE.

EIGHTY-THREE OF THE 90 SENIOR LETTERMEN (92 PERCENT) IN DABO SWINNEY’S FIVE FULL YEARS AS HEAD COACH HAVE GRADUATED, THANKS IN LARGE PART TO VICKERY HALL. THE OTHER SEVEN WHO HAVE NOT GRADUATED ARE ON NFL ROSTERS.

ince its inception in 1991, the Department of Athletic Academic Services, located in Vickery Hall, has provided Clemson student-athletes a continued commitment to excellence in its pursuit of an elite college education. Vickery Hall has a staff of 17 fulltime staff members, two interns and over 100 tutors, mentors and strategic tutors. In Vickery Hall, the mission is to address the total student-athlete by coaching our student-athletes to success in the academic, athletic and career arenas. Clemson University has a long-standing vision and commitment to the personal and academic growth and development of its student-athletes. That vision established Vickery Hall, which was the first stand-alone facility in the country constructed solely to provide academic support to student-athletes. The 27,000 square-foot, two-story, $3 million structure is an aesthetically

impressive structure that provides premier academic support and services. Vickery Hall and its programs are dedicated to providing a holistic, educational experience by inspiring an environment of respect, integrity and

excellence. Under the direction of the associate athletic director for athletic academic services, Steve Duzan, the staff guides and encourages each individual to reach his or her full potential as a student, athlete and citizen.

THE VICKERY HALL STAFF MEMBERS GIVE TIGER FOOTBALL PLAYERS THE INDIVIDUAL ATTENTION TO SUCCEED IN THE CLASSROOM.

As an original member of the NCAA CHAMPS/Life Skills Program, Vickery Hall, in conjunction with the Department of Student-Athlete Development, provides opportunities and services to address the changing needs and skills of student-athletes during college, as well as after graduation. The program has a strong tradition of success and was selected for the FBS Athletic Director’s Association “Program of Excellence” Award, recognizing CHAMPS/Life Skills excellence. The Vickery Hall staff is a major reason the Clemson football team is the only program in the nation to finish in the top 25 of both polls on the field and in the top 10 in terms of APR scores in the classroom each of the last three years. That includes top-10 rankings in both categories each of the last two seasons, something only Stanford can also claim. Clemson is one of only five FBS programs in the top-10 percent each of the last four years in terms of APR scores, joining Boise State, Duke, Northwestern and Rutgers. Clemson’s team APR scores have actually been higher than Harvard each of the last two years, 985 to 983 in 2012 and 983 to 980 in 2013.

Ask Before You Act!

his brief NCAA rules education is aimed at outlining basic rules to help potential students-athletes, parents and boosters better understand the regulations. Clemson University is committed to recruiting and conducting our athletic program with the highest level of integrity. If you have any questions, contact our compliance services office at 864-656-1580, compliance-L@clemson.edu or visit our website (ClemsonTigers.com).

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 studentathletes.

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. The mission of the Athletic Department is to sponsor a broad-based athletic program that provides educational and athletic opportunities for young men and women to grow, develop and serve the interests of Clemson University by complementing and enhancing its diversity and quality of life. Furthermore, the Athletic Department seeks to be a source of pride for the citizens of the State of South Carolina and to be recognized as a nationally-prominent program, through consistently high levels of performance and accomplishment in athletic competitions. The Athletic Department strives to develop student-athletes academically and athletically with the total commitment of aiding their efforts to graduate from Clemson University and advance to careers that will enable them to be productive members of society. The Athletic Department will act in an ethical and honest manner, dedicated to compliance with all Federal, State, NCAA, Conference and University rules and regulations.

• 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 studentathletes 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 for recruiting purposes is 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. Current student-athletes may... • Continue to come out and support student-athletes at Clemson athletic events. • Provide summer employment to student-athletes, but only if you contact Clemson’s office of compliance services (compliance-L@clemson.edu) first and the student-athlete is compensated for work actually performed at a rate commensurate with the going rate in the locality for similar services.

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. Examples of prohibited benefits are (but not limited to): • Arranging employment for family and friends of the student-athlete. • Free or reduced housing agreements.

• Gifts of money, awards, food/drinks or other tangible items. • Loans of money or automobiles. • Professional services without charge or at a discount. • Promises of employment or loans following college graduation. • Providing transportation for the student-athlete or their friends and family. • Use of ATM, credit or other types of gift cards. • Institutional Control - A central principle of the NCAA by-laws. 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 in 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 athletics interest for the purposes of securing the prospective studentathlete’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 athletics program. Student-athletes are not just those who were recruited or receive athletic scholarships, they are also those who participate in intercollegiate athletics.

ACTIVITIES THAT 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.

CONTACT INFORMATION Email compliance-L@clemson.edu Phone 864-656-1580 Fax 864-656-1243 Mailing Address P.O. Box 31; Clemson, S.C. 29633 Overnight Address Jervey Athletic Center; 100 Perimeter Road; Clemson, S.C. 29633 Website ClemsonTigers.com

ACTIVITIES THAT HARM CURRENT STUDENT-ATHLETES 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 athleticrelated 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.

SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING Please notify compliance services immediately of any potential violations involving Clemson University. @ClemsonFB

IPTAY STAFF

DAVIS BABB Chief Executive Officer

ince 1934, IPTAY has been a leader in intercollegiate athletics fundraising, and our brand has been built by grassroots efforts and representatives spread throughout the Southeast who work in their communities to build support. We have had many people contribute their time and resources and who have been very supportive of the University. That has manifested itself in large season-ticket bases, incredible passion and many people being involved. We are trying to grow the brand even more by expanding the scope of what IPTAY does. The process of recruiting studentathletes is critical to the success of Clemson athletics. As we recruit top high school prospects from around the country, we must be prepared to offer them the best possible student-athlete experience. Because of generous IPTAY donors, the “One IPTAY” enterprise was able to raise a record total of $32 million in 2014. These dollars contributed by our 14,906 members directly impact the lives of our nearly 500 student-athletes in our 19 athletic programs through scholarships, facilities and academic support. From the Tiger Cub Club to the Annual Fund, Major Gifts and everything in between, your gifts matter. As I mentioned above, we are truly “One IPTAY.” This is to say that IPTAY includes all components - annual fundraising, major gifts and planned giving. Beginning this year, we are excited to add two new components to our umbrella - oversight of the premium seating program and Tiger Letterwinners Association. These will be two additions to our donor offerings as we grow. The future is bright for both IPTAY and Tiger athletics because of our very important members!

A NEW ERA COLLEGE FOOTBALL ENTERS A NEW ERA AT THE FBS LEVEL, AS 2014 MARKS THE FIRST SEASON OF A FOUR-TEAM PLAYOFF. READ ABOUT THE CHANGES THAT ARE IN STORE.

NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP

he 2014 college football season marks the beginning of the newly-formed college football playoff, where a four-team playoff determines the National Champion. Below is a brief description of the new format.

Bowls Six traditional bowls rotate as hosts of the semifinal games. The championship game is awarded on a year-by-year basis. The championship game will be played in Arlington, Texas in 2014-15, Glendale, Ariz. in 2015-16 and Tampa, Fla. in 2016-17. Below is the schedule for the first three years of the system. SCHEDULE Bowl 2014-15 Cotton Jan. 1 Fiesta Dec. 31 Orange Dec. 31 Peach Dec. 31 Rose *Jan. 1 Sugar *Jan. 1 Championship Jan. 12 * - semifinal

2015-16 *Dec. 31 Jan. 1 *Dec. 31 Dec. 31 Jan. 1 Jan. 1 Jan. 11

2016-17 Jan. 2 *Dec. 31 Dec. 31 *Dec. 31 Jan. 2 Jan. 2 Jan. 9

DATA Selection committee members have a wealth of information, including review of video, statistics and their own exper-

tise to guide them in their deliberations. They emphasize obvious factors like win-loss records, strength of schedule, conference championships won, headto-head results and results against common opponents. The playoff group has retained SportSource Analytics to provide the data platform for the committee’s use. While the details of the platform have not been finalized, it is anticipated that it will include countless pieces of statistical information for every FBS team. It also includes general information, such as each team’s opponents’ record and opponents’ opponents’ records. The platform allows the committee members to compare and contrast every team on every level possible. It should be noted that the committee does not use a single data point, such as the Ratings Percentage Index (RPI), that is used for NCAA Championships.

MEETINGS The selection committee members meet weekly in-person in Dallas, Texas on Mondays and Tuesdays to produce rankings. The committee will issue its first rankings on Tuesday, October 28 after the completion of the ninth week of the regular season.

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS DAN RADAKOVICH IS ONE OF 13 MEMBERS OF THE SELECTION COMMITTEE.

The committee’s rankings will be announced on ESPN each Tuesday evening beginning October 28 and continuing for the next five weeks. The final rankings and the teams in the college football playoff will be announced Sunday, December 7.

MEMBERS Clemson Director of Athletics Dan Radakovich was named to the college football selection committee on October 16, 2013. Below are the members. • Barry Alvarez - director of athletics, University of Wisconsin • Lt Gen Mike Gould - former superintendent of the United States Air Force Academy • Pat Haden - director of athletics, University of Southern California • Tom Jernstedt - former NCAA executive vice president • Jeff Long - committee chairman, vice chancellor and director of athletics, University of Arkansas • Oliver Luck - director of athletics, West Virginia University • Archie Manning - former University of Mississippi quarterback and all-pro NFL quarterback • Tom Osborne - former head coach and director of athletics, University of Nebraska • Dan Radakovich - director of athletics, Clemson University • Condoleezza Rice - Stanford University professor, former Stanford provost and former U.S. Secretary of State • Mike Tranghese - former commissioner of the Big East Conference • Steve Wieberg - former college football reporter, USA Today • Tyrone Willingham - former head coach of three FBS institutions

PARTICIPANTS Both participants in the Orange, Rose and Sugar Bowls are contracted outside the playoff arrangement (Big Ten and Pac-12 to Rose Bowl; Big 12 and SEC to Sugar Bowl; ACC to Orange Bowl against the highest-ranked available team from the Big Ten, SEC and Notre Dame). If a conference champion qualifies for the playoff, the bowl chooses a re-

placement from that conference. When those bowls host the semifinals and their contracted conference champions do not qualify, the displaced champion(s) plays in the other New Year’s bowls. The Cotton, Fiesta and Peach Bowls host displaced conference champions and the top-ranked champion from a non-contract conference. The highestranked available teams fill any other berths. The selection committee makes the pairings.

VOTING PROCEDURES The committee ranks the top-25 teams in the country and assigns teams to the semifinals and to the Cotton, Fiesta and Peach Bowls in years when they are not hosting semifinal games. In summary, the committee identifies small groups of teams that will then be evaluated against each other in a detailed and deliberative manner. The committee then votes the teams into the rankings in a combined selection-and-seeding process.

VOTING PROTOCOL Each committee member creates a list of the 25 teams he or she believes to be the best in the country, in no particular order. Teams listed by three or more members remain under consideration. Each member then lists the best six teams, in no particular order. The six teams receiving the most votes comprise the pool for the first seeding ballot. In the first seeding ballot, each member ranks those six teams (1-6), with No. 1 being the best. The three teams receiving the fewest points become the top-three seeds. The three teams that were not seeded are held over for the next seeding ballot. Each member lists the six-best remaining teams, in no particular order. The three teams receiving the most votes are added to the three teams held over to comprise the next seeding ballot. Steps No. 3 and No. 4 are repeated until 25 teams are seeded. All votes are by secret ballot. @ClemsonFB

TIGER BAND

BY TIM HURLBURT

USING TECHNOLOGY TO PUSH INSTRUCTION BOUNDARIES

hile Tiger Band has always had a healthy respect for our heritage and traditions, we also keep an eye on the future and have a national reputation for innovation. The long reach of our high-tech society has helped Tiger Band grow, improve and become more efficient. Gone are the days of tracing formations onto graph paper and carrying around binders full of drill charts and musical scores. “The Band That Shakes the Southland” is all-in with the technology boom.

COMPUTER SOFTWARE All of the music played and drill marched by Tiger Band is written by Directors Dr. Mark Spede and Tim Hurlburt. Finale, a music notation software, lets the user manipulate the music into a clean, printable format. Using a midi-interface, the user can also use an electronic keyboard to input music to the program and listen to what they are writing in real time. Pyware, a drill-writing software, allows the user to create the formations you see the marching band creating on the field. The writer can watch an animation of the drill being performed from multiple angles and the program even generates individual coordinates for every performer and every position they have during the entire show. The Tiger Band staff also uses Photoshop and Premiere from the Adobe Cre-

ative Cloud Suite to edit the photo and video media. All of the recording and audio editing is done with Pro Tools.

GADGETS All of the information that we need for rehearsal is stored and accessed via four iPads. We use them to quickly and efficiently take attendance, display all rehearsal tools, like drill charts and musical scores, and play computer-generated recordings while we learn new drill. All of our paperwork is also stored on the tablets, making travel much easier. We have a wide variety of audio tools in our technology arsenal, all used for different reasons. We use a different set of microphones and audio interfaces for recording versus what we use for sound reinforcement in the stadium. Tiger Band even has multiple sound systems for use at the rehearsal field, for special on-field performances or a more portable version for other venues.

of feet above our rehearsal and take full HD video and high-quality pictures, which has proven to be a valuable tool in getting the formations “just right.” The band’s footprint also extends to the internet and social media.

CHELSEA URANAKA THE SENIOR IS DIVING INTO THE CLEMSON EXPERIENCE UNDER HEAD COACH LESLIE HASSELBACH ADAMS.

BY COLBY LANHAM

enior Chelsea Uranaka has transformed into one of the leaders of the Clemson diving program over the past three seasons. Since she was seven, diving has long been Uranaka’s passion, and she takes that passion into every meet she participates in. Head Coach Leslie Hasselbach Adams loves the growth she has seen from Uranaka since her first season at Clemson and sees Uranaka as someone her teammates can rely on. “I remember when Chelsea came to Clemson on her recruiting visit,” said Adams. “She was very sweet and very quiet. Her freshman year, she was still very quiet at first, but as the year wore on and throughout her first three years, she has started to find her voice. “She gained a lot of confidence once she got to know everyone and felt comfortable. She has now become a great friend to so many girls on the team and they really trust her.” Uranaka is thankful for the opportunity she has to do what she loves and at a University

that has helped her grow, both in and out of the pool.

“My time at Clemson has been an amazing experience,” said Uranaka. “I’ve been surrounded by a lot of people who have helped me grow into the person that I am today. They’ve helped push me to be better in the pool, in the classroom and in the weightroom. Many people have reached out and have been able to help me along the way.” With a sister who attended Clemson, Uranaka first fell in love with the welcoming family atmosphere at the school. Having the opportunity to be part of the diving squad was something the Windermere, Fla. native had been aiming for since she first jumped in the pool. “Diving in college was one of my main goals growing up,” stated Uranaka. “In high school, I wasn’t really sure where I was going to be, and I never really imagined myself at Clemson until I started looking at it when I came here on a trip. Once I was here on the campus, that’s when I started to see the possibility of myself fitting in here. “It had a lot to do with the atmosphere. Everyone was so welcoming, and that was what

I took away from my trip. It’s a great place.” Uranaka credits her coaches for aiding her growth and development, both in and out of the pool, especially given the aspects that go into a sport like diving, which requires poise and confidence. “It can be mentally challenging,” said Uranaka. “With the physical aspect, you have to be in shape to keep up with workouts and training. But what most people don’t know is that diving can be mentally challenging. That aspect of the sport teaches you to be able to push through a lot of things and have a tough mind.” Uranaka has also found ways to express her passion to others that enjoy diving. She does so by coaching the Clemson Diving Club, where she is able to teach from her own experiences and mentor fellow divers, both beginners and veterans, on perfecting their craft. “It’s fun to work with a kid who has never dove before and teach them what I know,” added Uranaka about her experience instructing the Diving Club. “It helps me incorporate my love and passion for the sport and try to teach them to enjoy it and want to keep coming back. It’s a challenge at times, but it’s worth it and I love coaching. I’m not entirely sure I’ll take that route once I graduate, but I could see myself being a coach one day.” @ClemsonFB

KRISTIN FAUST

A DEVASTATING INJURY BEFORE HER JUNIOR SEASON HAS NOT KEPT THE TIGER SENIOR FROM MAKING HER MARK ON THE PROGRAM.

he game of volleyball is quick. The ball is served and the play is over in the blink of an eye. Kristin Faust’s sophomore season in 2012 showed that the outside hitter could certainly keep up. Faust started all 31 matches and finished second in double-doubles on the team. She was a tough server with a team-high 30 aces and played on both sides of the ball, tallying 253 kills and a 3.10-digs-per-set average. But one day during spring practice following her breakout season, the trajectory changed just as quickly as it started. “I jumped for a hit and I came down on one leg and my knee just snapped,” said Faust. “Right when it happened, I knew something was terribly wrong.” Faust had torn her ACL. After her injury, she was told that she would not see the court at all for the 2013 season. “It was devastating, but I told myself I was going to play,” explained Faust. “I had surgery in March and stayed in Clemson all summer so I could do rehab every day.” While some people take over a year to recover from an ACL injury, Faust was ready to return to the court in less than six months. Before she knew it, the 2013 season started and she did not miss a beat. The team needed a defender to play the libe-

ro position, and Faust was there to step in. “It worked out perfectly because at the time, I still didn’t trust my knee,” admitted Faust. “I was still very nervous jumping and landing. Playing libero allowed me to get used to the pace of the game again.” Her role at the libero position was short-lived, though it was impressive. She finished her junior season with a team-high 403 digs. After 12 matches, the Tigers needed Faust back at the outside-hitter position. Despite starting the season as a defensive player, she finished the year third on the team with 203 kills. Faust was happy to be back where she belonged. “It was great being able to contribute on defense and serve-receive, but I was happy to be playing all-the-way around again. That’s where I feel most comfortable.” This season, the outside hitter is a co-captain along with fellow senior Karis Watson. “Our team has amazing chemistry this season,” added Faust. “Leading this team is easy because the underclassmen are leaders as well. It’s crazy that I’m already a senior. It seems like it happened so fast. “I hope that I am able to show the younger players what perseverance is.

Sometimes, things happen that you can’t predict and it’s not about every-

HALL FAME OF

CLASSOF2014 CLASS 2014 THE SEVEN MEMBERS OF THE CLEMSON ATHLETIC HALL OF FAME WILL BE INDUCTED THIS WEEKEND AND JOIN THE 269 TIGERS ALREADY IN CLEMSON’S PRESTIGIOUS CLUB.

MIKE GANDOLFO TENNIS • 1977-80 Clemson made a great run on a conference and national basis in men’s tennis in the 1980s under Head Coach Chuck Kriese, and Mike Gandolfo was the leader of the beginning of that charge on the hardcourt. In his senior year (1980), Clemson finished with a 32-5 record and won the first of nine ACC titles in the decade of the 1980s. The 32 wins are still the most in a season in school history and the No. 8 national ranking was the first top10 finish in school history. Along the way, Clemson recorded six wins over top-20 teams, including a 5-4 win over No. 12 Georgia, and posted a 6-0 record in the regular-season ACC race. The Tigers reached the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament for the first time as well. Gandolfo was the MVP of the ACC Tournament, a first-team All-American and the ITA National Senior Player-of-the-Year. He was the first Clemson men’s tennis player to win a national award of that magnitude. That was quite an award in those days because very few players turned professional early. He was also the first first-team All-American in the program’s history. Like Steve Fuller in football, Gandolfo is still the only Clemson men’s tennis player to be MVP of the ACC (Tournament) twice. He was also the ACC No. 1 singles champion in consecutive years (1979,80). Gandolfo is still 10th in school history in career three-set match victories (31) and seventh in doubles victories (113). He also won 89 singles matches. After attending Clemson, Gandolfo played professionally until 1983. He was named to the ACC 50-Year Anniversary team in 2002.

Nnamdi Nwokocha was the Sammy Watkins of Clemson soccer in 1979. He was the top freshman in the nation and led the Tigers to national prominence. During the 1979 season, Nwokocha was named ACC MVP and took the Tigers to the NCAA Championship match in Tampa, Fla. The remarkably strong striker scored a school and ACC-record seven goals in one half against Belmont Abbey and finished with 16 points in the match. The Belmont Abbey team was so distraught that they boarded their bus at halftime and went home. Nwokocha led the ACC in assists and goals as a freshman when he had 26 goals and 11 assists. He was named a first-team All-American as a first-year freshman and had three “hat tricks.” As a sophomore in 1980, he had four “hat tricks” in consecutive matches to set a school record. The Tigers finished 12-3-2 that season. In 1981, Nwokocha was back on the All-America team. He had 21 goals and helped the Tigers to the ACC title and a No. 5 ranking in the final coaches poll. Nwokocha totaled 74 career goals and 23 assists for 171 points, still a school record and second-most in ACC history. His 74 goals are third in ACC history. Nineteen of those goals were considered match-winners. A three-time All-ACC performer, Nwokocha returned to Nigeria to work as an advisor to the Governor of the State of Sport Affairs. He was named to the ACC 50Year Anniversary team in 2002. Nwokocha died in April 2009 of meningitis at the age of 46 in his native country.

Dwight Rainey played a crucial role in the development of the total Clemson sports program over his 32year career as a coach and administrator. In his early years at Clemson, Rainey was a member of the men’s basketball coaching staff. He served under Head Coach Bill Foster from 1975-83, and the program went to postseason play five times, including Clemson’s first NCAA Tournament bid in 1979-80. During that 1979-80 season, the Tigers defeated top-ranked Duke, a first in program history, and recorded six wins over top-20 teams, still the most in one season in school history. The squad advanced to the Final Eight of the NCAA Tournament, still the furthest a Clemson team has ever advanced in the “Big Dance.” Rainey began to oversee several Olympic sports in 1983, and for 17 years he was in charge of the entire Olympic sports program. From 1983-07, he was a big reason the program won 64 ACC Championships and three national titles, men’s soccer in 1984 and 1987, and men’s golf in 2003. Fifteen of the 17 Olympic sports won at least one ACC title during Rainey’s career. He played an integral part in the hiring of many coaches, including Cliff Ellis, the Tigers’ winningest basketball coach who was inducted into Clemson’s Hall of Fame in 2013, and Jack Leggett, who was inducted into the College Baseball Hall of Fame in 2014. A major part of Rainey’s responsibility was overseeing facility enhancements that were made to the baseball, golf, track & field, volleyball and tennis facilities, and he was involved in Clemson adding rowing.

Clemson football was the fifth-winningest program during the 1980s, and tight end Jim Riggs played a big role in that success. He was a member of the 1983 and 1986 teams that finished in the top 20 and was a starter on the 1986 ACC Championship team. In 1985 and 1986, Riggs was a First-Team All-ACC selection, one of just two two-time, First-Team All-ACC tight ends in Tiger history. The other is former All-American and Super Bowl Champion Bennie Cunningham. Riggs was third on the 1985 team in receiving with 18 catches for 203 yards, including a 43-yard touchdown against Georgia in the first nationally-televised game in the history of Death Valley. The following year, Riggs had 17 receptions for 197 yards. One was key in Clemson’s tie against Maryland in Baltimore. It came on a fourth-down play and kept a drive alive that led to a game-tying field goal. Riggs finished his Tiger career with 49 receptions, still among the top-10 totals in school history for a tight end. He was very proficient as a blocker and had a lot to do with Clemson finishing in the top 15 in the nation in rushing in 1985 and 1986. Riggs was drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals in the fourth round of the 1987 draft. In 1989, he played in Super Bowl XXIII against the San Francisco 49ers. He played six seasons with Cincinnati before finishing his career in 1993 with the Redskins. Riggs’ son, Zach, is in his second year on the Tiger football team. His other son, Jake, plays wide receiver for The Citadel, while his daughter, Abby, is a member of the Clemson Rally Cats spirit squad.

TRACK & FIELD • 1992-95

BASKETBALL • 1999-03

TRACK & FIELD • 1997-01

Duane Ross ran track for Clemson from 1992-95 and is one of the most accomplished hurdlers in school history. In 1994, Ross won a bronze medal at the NCAA Indoor Championships in the 55m hurdles. He won the NCAA Outdoor Championship in 1995 in the 110m hurdles with a school-record time of 13.32. Ross is still the only Tiger to win a national championship in a hurdles event. In the 1994-95 academic year, Ross was named Clemson Athlete-of-the-Year, quite an accomplishment when you look at some of the other athletes who were at Clemson during that time. Ross was a five-time ACC Champion overall and a seven-time All-American, the third-most All-America certificates in Tiger athletics history. Ross still shows his versatility by holding school records in the 55m, 60m and 110m hurdles. After earning his bachelor’s degree in financial management in 1996, Ross continued to run at a high level. He was a member of the 2004 U.S. Olympic Team and placed ninth in the 110m hurdles in Athens, Greece. Ross was a four-time member of the U.S. World Championship team, where he earned two gold and two silver medals in the 110m hurdles. In 2003, Ross was named to the ACC 50-Year Anniversary team. For five seasons, Ross coached track & field at Methodist University in Fayetteville, N.C. He has served as director of track & field at North Carolina A&T since 2012.

Edward Scott was a standout point guard for the basketball program from 1999-03 under Head Coach Larry Shyatt. A four-year starter, Scott is considered one of the best all-around guards in Tiger history and was named one of 25 players on Clemson’s 100-Year Anniversary team that was announced in 2012. A starter for most of the games as a freshman and sophomore, Scott’s game moved to a new level as a junior, when he was a Third-Team All-ACC pick. That year, he had many memorable performances, but two stand out. First, he had 30 points and 16 assists in a 118-115 double-overtime win against Wake Forest. He became just the second player in ACC history to record 30+ points and 15+ assists in a game. On Senior Night, he had a career-high 36 points in a win over Florida State. In his final season (2002-03) at Clemson, Scott finished third in the ACC in scoring, as he averaged 17.7 points per game. He was the first Tiger in history to be named ACC Player-of-the-Week in consecutive weeks. He once scored 61 points in consecutive games in wins over Virginia and Florida State. In 2002-03, Scott became the first Tiger point guard in 43 years to be named First-Team All-ACC. He had 595 assists in his career, second-most in Tiger history. He is one of nine players in ACC history with 1,200+ points, 500+ assists and 400+ rebounds. Scott returned to Clemson to receive his degree in accounting and is now a member of the coaching staff at Richland Northeast High School near his hometown of Eastover, S.C.

Shekera Weston ran track for the Tigers from 199701, and her 10 All-America certificates, three indoor and seven outdoor, still are most in Clemson history. She showed her prowess at an early stage, as she was the only American freshman to compete in the 200m finals at the NCAA Indoor Championships in 1997. Weston was a member of the ACC Championship 4x100m relay team and earned All-America honors with the NCAA Outdoor Championship 4x400m relay squad. In 1999, Weston was the ACC Indoor Champion in the 200m and 400m, and she finished seventh in the nation in the 200m at the NCAA meet. After redshirting the 1999-00 indoor and outdoor seasons, Weston was a member of the 2001 NCAA Championship team in the outdoor 4x400m relay. Additionally, she was on the 4x100m relay team that finished fourth in the nation. Individually, she finished fourth in the 200m and 10th in the 400m. Weston was a big reason Clemson was third at the NCAA outdoor meet and seventh at the NCAA indoor meet that season. As a senior, Weston was a part of the 4x400m relay team that won the national title with a time of 3:29.97. She also finished fourth in the 200m and 10th in the 400m to earn All-America honors in both events. In her Clemson career, Weston’s performances still rank among the best in school history, as she is second in the 60m, fifth in the 200m, second in the 300m, first in the 400m and second in the 4x400m relay. Weston was named to the ACC 50-Year Anniversary team in 2002.

1939 - A LANDMARK SEASON CLEMSON PLAYED AND WON ITS FIRST BOWL GAME OVER THE BOSTON COLLEGE EAGLES IN THE 1940 COTTON BOWL. LED BY HEAD COACH JESS NEELY AND ALL-AMERICAN BANKS MCFADDEN, THE TIGERS OVERCAME SEVERAL OBSTACLES THAT YEAR TO GET TO THE COTTON BOWL, INCLUDING FEW HOME GAMES. TODAY, WE REFLECT ON THE 75-YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF THIS LANDMARK TEAM. BY SAM BLACKMAN

he calendar year of 1939 was a special year for Clemson athletics. It will soon be 75 years since Banks McFadden and the Tigers played in the 1940 Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas on New Year’s Day. On March 4 of that year, Clemson won the SoCon basketball title and the SoCon swimming title on the same day. This momentum of success carried over to the gridiron that fall, as the Tigers had a cornerstone season that would bring Clemson national prominence by playing Frank Leahy’s Boston College Eagles in Clemson’s first bowl game. The 1939 season was not only Clemson’s first bowl team, it was also the Tigers’ first squad to be ranked and the first to end a season in the national top 20 (No. 12 in the AP poll). Clemson opened the season with a victory over Presbyterian College, then suffered its only setback, a 7-6 classic to Tulane in New Orleans, La. The Tigers won their next seven contests (only nine regular-season games were played back then) and accepted their first bowl invitation. Oddly enough, that only loss to the Green Wave saw McFadden’s first rise to national prominence. Many observers say that is where he made the All-America team on his punting exhibition, especially on his quick-kicks from the singlewing tailback position. He averaged over 43 yards on 12 punts that afternoon and had six punts of 50+ yards, still a school record. Starting out with a 1-1 record after two games, few would even hazard a guess that Clemson would play in its first bowl game at season’s end. Few also figured that Head Coach Jess Neely would move on at the end of the season to Rice, where he would remain for the next 27 years. It is ironic that his first winning season (1934) was the year IPTAY was founded. Neely had asked for $10,000 from IPTAY to boost the program. But Neely fought adversity with deliberate and well-constructed solutions. How many coaches today could win 36 games in six seasons with only 14 of 56 games played at home? Only once did Clemson play as many as four games at home during Neely’s stay, and only twice were there three home games in a year. Thirteen of the 56 games were played at neutral sites. Even this 1939 team only played two games at home, opening the season with an 18-0 win over Presbyterian College. Then in the seventh game, it downed Wake Forest 20-7.

ABOVE, HEAD COACH JESS NEELY KNEELS WITH FOUR OF HIS 1939 PLAYERS. LEFT, BANKS MCFADDEN CARRIES THE BALL AGAINST BOSTON COLLEGE IN THE 1940 COTTON BOWL.

In the third game, the Tigers defeated NC State 25-6 in Charlotte, with the Wolfpack’s lone score coming in the fourth quarter. The Tigers defeated South Carolina 27-0 at the annual statefair game in Columbia on October 19. Clemson played Navy at Annapolis, then went back to the nation’s capitol the next Saturday and downed George Washington 13-6. The Tigers finished the season by defeating Rhodes 21-6 in Memphis and Furman 14-3 in Greenville. There were many stars on this team. McFadden, a running back, and end Joe Blalock were both All-Americans and joined tackle George Fritts and wingback Shad Bryant on the All-SoCon squad. That quartet, along with guard Walter Cox and center Bob “Red” Sharpe, were members of the all-state squad. Payne, guard Tom Moorer and end Carl Black were the only three to start all 10 contests.

At season’s end, Clemson was extended an invitation to its first bowl game, the Cotton Bowl, and accepted. The Tigers were scheduled to play Boston College on Jan. 1, 1940 in Dallas. The Tigers suddenly found themselves, a group of players from smalltown environments, playing big-time football. Of the 11 starters, 10 were from the Palmetto State. Neely rewarded the team for its efforts by taking all 51 players to Dallas. The trip was made by a long train ride. Most Eagle fans and alumni had never heard of the Tigers prior to the game, which led to Leahy stating he knew “very little about Clemson.” What he learned, however, was the Tigers were led by perhaps the best all-around player in the country in McFadden, who the year before earned AllAmerica status on the hardwood, making him the nation’s first athlete to earn AllAmerica status in multiple sports.

“That McFadden put a lot of these gray hairs on my head,” said Neely to The Boston Post reporter Gerry Hern in an article prior to the Cotton Bowl. “I don’t discourage him any. He’s a smart tailback, and if he feels he has worked the team into a bad spot, I like to see him get reckless. “We’ve scored a few touchdowns on plays I’ve never seen before.” Neely never had an issue allowing McFadden to improvise. If a player came back to the huddle and told McFadden that a certain play might work, the AllAmerican instructed his teammate to see if the defensive player made the same mistake twice. If he did, McFadden would expose him on the next play. “Every now and then they would make a play up on the field,” admitted Neely. “If I don’t recognize a play, I’m sure Leahy won’t.” Leahy’s team did a good job controlling Clemson’s high-powered offense and McFadden on that cold afternoon in Dallas. But after an exchange of punts in the second quarter, the Tigers mounted a 57-yard scoring drive that proved to be the difference in the defensive battle. McFadden had a 12-yard run and 16-yard pass to move Clemson deep into Eagle territory, where Charlie Timmons went over from the two to give the Tigers a 6-3 lead. It turned out to be last score of the afternoon. Timmons led Clemson with 115 yards on 27 carries. Though Boston College, for the most part, contained McFadden on the offensive side of the ball, it had no answer for him on defense. McFadden, who averaged 43 yards per punt, reportedly went sideline-to-sideline knocking down Charlie O’Rourke’s passes. He had four pass breakups in the fourth quarter alone. The Eagles finished the afternoon completing only 4-23 passes with one interception. Boston College totaled only 102 yards of offense. Leahy coached at Boston College one more year, then he won four national titles at Notre Dame from 1941-53. He is still second in college football history in winning percentage, trailing only his college mentor, Knute Rockne. It has to be regarded as one of the Tigers’ greatest victories and it gave Clemson national respect, especially in Leahy’s eyes. “Clemson is every bit as good as they were cracked up to be,” Leahy told reporters after the game. “We lost to a great team, one of the best I have ever seen. I have the satisfaction of knowing that while we were beaten, the game wasn’t lost on a fluke.” @ClemsonFB

WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

KENDALL ALLEY

FROM THE 1981 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM TO A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS CAREER, KENDALL ALLEY HAS REPRESENTED CLEMSON IN A FIRST-CLASS MANNER. BY JAMES BRUNSON

he Latin phrase, “multum in parvo,” loosely translates in English to, “much in brief.” Kendall Alley’s time in Clemson can be described as, “multum in parvo,” as he accomplished much in his brief time in Tigertown. Alley earned two degrees, played five years of football, including on the Tigers’ only National Championship team in 1981, prepared himself for a successful banking career after college and met his wife (Karen Humphries Alley, who earned her B.A. degree in administration management) during his brief time on campus. His road to Clemson was put in motion in the fall of 1977, when Alley, then a junior, was the North Rowan High

School safety assigned to cover North Davidson High senior wideout Perry Tuttle with Tiger coaches in attendance. “I held him to a season-low four catches, but they went for 126 yards and four touchdowns!” exclaimed Alley when discussing the tough assignment. Regardless, the Tiger coaches liked what they saw from Alley, who doubled as a wide receiver, and invited him to visit the campus during the summer of 1978. “The first time I walked on campus, I thought ‘OK, this is it,’ and I was not going to school anywhere else.” Alley followed through on that thought and signed with Clemson in December 1978 following his participation in the Shrine Bowl in Charlotte, N.C.

NCAA rules did not allow first-year freshmen to redshirt at the time, so Alley played four games in 1979, including seeing action in Clemson’s landmark victory at Notre Dame. “I only played because Perry Tuttle was injured...he was always hurt,” joked Alley. Following a redshirt season in 1980, Alley was part of a five-man rotation at wide receiver in 1981. After two wideouts were injured in a game at Tulane, Alley was in line for significant playing time against defending National Champion Georgia in the third contest of the season. Alley hauled in two receptions in the landmark 13-3 win and thought, “I’m part of Clemson Nation forever, now.”

KENDALL ALLEY WAS A WIDE RECEIVER AT CLEMSON IN THE EARLY 1980S WHO HAS GONE ON TO A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS CAREER.

Further reflecting on it recently, he said, “That was an awesome environment. It was the best Death Valley had ever been and it is still the best today.” Clemson, of course, won out and claimed the 1981 national title. Alley also contributed to the Tigers’ 9-1-1 seasons in 1982 and 1983, as Clemson finished ranked No. 8 and No. 10, respectively. Of his time playing under Danny Ford, Alley had this to say. “I learned so much from Coach Ford during my time at Clemson that has helped me during my business career. He was such a dynamic leader who taught us the value of hard work, preparation and overcoming adversity.” Off the field, Alley earned a bachelor of science degree in administration management in 1983 and an MBA in 1985. While completing his MBA requirements, he worked closely with then Assistant Athletic Director Bobby Robinson. Robinson was in charge of the athletic department’s finances at the time. “Bobby was a great business thinker. He taught me to make fact-based and even-keeled decisions.” After leaving Tigertown, Alley began a career in banking at C&S Bank in Spartanburg, S.C. Twenty-eight years later, Alley is with Wells Fargo as regional president for Charlotte and executive host for the Wells Fargo Championship PGA Tour event each spring. During the final-round Sunday interview with Alley and CBS commentator Jim Nantz, Clemson is always referenced. “It’s always a great time at the championship,” added Alley. “Clemson is always well-represented in the field and in the galleries. In 2011, we had an exciting playoff with Lucas Glover defeating another former Tiger, Jonathan Byrd. CBS referred to it as the ‘Clemson Invitational’.” One thing is certain...Alley genuinely appreciates his Clemson experience. “Every success I have had in life someway has a Clemson connection.” Alley and his wife have two sons, Zac, a senior at Clemson, and Trent, a junior in high school. @ClemsonFB

THE LAST WORD

THE WALL STREET JOURNAL RECENTLY PUBLISHED ITS GRID OF THE BEST AND WORST PROGRAMS IN THE COUNTRY. FOR THE SECOND YEAR IN A ROW, CLEMSON WAS AMONG THE NATION’S BEST. BY TIM BOURRET

his might be the shortest “Last Word” I have written. However, it is the most meaningful for Head Coach Dabo Swinney. The chart on this page is from The Wall Street Journal. It may be a little confusing at first glance, but it has a strong meaning for the Tiger football program under Swinney. The Wall Street Journal placed teams across an x-axis based upon on-field success and a y-axis correlated to off-field reputation. According to the article, “This is The Wall Street Journal’s fourthannual grid, and Clemson has been in the top-right-upper quadrant each of the last two years.” Following three consecutive 10-win seasons, including back-to-back top-10 finishes on the field, coupled with four straight years ranked among the top-10 percent in the NCAA’s Academic Progress Report, Clemson football again is perched in the top-right corner of The Wall Street Journal’s grid of “admirable” and “powerhouse” programs. Clemson is the only FBS program in the nation to finish each of the last three seasons in the top 25 of both polls on the field and in the top-10 percent of APR scores in the classroom. Clemson and Stanford are the only two FBS programs with a top-10 final ranking in the coaches poll and a top-10-percent ranking in FBS APR scores each of the last two years. “This might be the greatest achievement we have had since I have been here,” said Swinney earlier this month. “I am very proud of our position on this chart because it is done by an independent, nationally-recognized media outlet that did a study of the entire country in many areas. “This chart basically shows we are a successful program and doing it the right way. It is our goal to have a model program at Clemson in all aspects.”
