BY TIM BOURRET IMPRESSIVE STREAKS

TIGERS SEEK FIRST 8-0 ACC RECORD

With Clemson’s win at Syracuse last weekend, the Tigers have won 13 games in a row, tied for the secondlongest winning streak in school history and the longest since Clemson also won 13 games in a row over the end of the 1980 season and the entire 1981 season when the Tigers won the national title. The school record is 15 victories in a row, set between 1947 and 1949. It is also the second-longest active streak in the country. Only Ohio State has a longer winning streak. Clemson has a 15-game winning streak at home. It is already the longest home winning streak in school history.

Clemson can reach a milestone with a victory over Wake Forest. It would give Clemson an 8-0 ACC record, a first in school history. The Tigers have been an undefeated ACC champion four times (1967,78,81,82). All four of those years, the Tigers were 6-0. In 1983, the first year Georgia Tech was in the league, Clemson was 7-0 against ACC teams, but the Tigers were on probation that year and could not claim a title. The ACC has had three 8-0 champions in the last five years, Virginia Tech in 2010 and Florida State in 2013 and 2014. Every ACC champion had at least one loss from 2001-09.

CLEMSON GOING FOR 700 The Tigers look to join the 700-win club today as they take on Wake Forest. Clemson has an all-time record of 699-455-45 (.601) since it started playing football on Oct. 31, 1896. The Tigers won their first game against Furman in Greenville by a score of 14-6 and have totaled 698 more wins since that first contest. When Clemson reaches the 700 mark, it will be the fifth current ACC school with at least 700 wins. Virginia Tech has the most with 717, followed by Georgia Tech (714), Syracuse (711) and Pittsburgh (703). It is interesting to note that Clemson won its 500th game against Wake Forest, a 24-6 victory at WinstonSalem, N.C., on Oct. 27, 1990. Today is also the Tigers’ 1,200th game in history, so two milestones could be reached today.

ANOTHER SENIOR DAY FOR WF

DESHAUN WATSON WILL LEAD THE TIGERS TODAY IN THEIR ATTEMPT FOR WIN NO. 700 AND THEIR FIRST 8-0 ACC RECORD.

Wake Forest in ﬁnishing off one of the most difﬁcult back-to-back weekends of football in history. The Demon Deacons played at No. 4 Notre Dame last week, and it plays at No. 1 Clemson this weekend. And, it is Senior Day at both schools. We doubt anyone in history has been Senior Day for a pair of top-four programs on consecutive weekends.

Wake Forest has demonstrated a strong defense this season, one that has been in the top half of the ACC in a number of statistical categories. The Demon Deacons allow just 23.5 points and 338.8 yards per game this year and their pass defense gives up just 176.9 yards per game. Opponents are averaging just 16.3 ﬁrst downs per game as well. Brandon Chubb is the top tackler with 8.5 stops per game. Brad Watson is among the league leaders in passes defended with 11. Time and again this year, the Demon Deacons have played with the best in the ACC. Wake Forest fell 20-19 against Louisville, and earlier in the year lost by just eight points (24-16) to a top-20 Florida State team. It also recorded a 3-0 shutout victory at Boston College.

MILITARY APPRECIATION DAY Welcome to Military Appreciation Day at Memorial Stadium. Here are a few facts about the school’s military heritage. • The proud military history of what we know as Clemson University began in 1917, when the entire senior class of Clemson Agricultural College volunteered for service in World War I. A total of 1,549 Clemson cadets saw service in World War I, 25 of which died in battle. Two soldiers from Clemson received the Con-

LAST WEEK’S RESULTS JAY GUILLERMO WAS NAMED ACC OFFENSIVE LINEMAN-OF-THE-WEEK IN CONSECUTIVE WEEKS.

gressional Medal of Honor, ensign Daniel Sullivan and sergeant Erans Foster. • Clemson’s famous Senior Platoon was created in 1929, adding to the prestige of the school’s military heritage. The Senior Platoon gave drill performances throughout the country, including Yankee Stadium and Fenway Park. It became better known as the “Pride of Clemson.” • World War II saw Clemson cadets answer the call to arms just as they had for World War I. Only Texas A&M and Army provided more Army officers for World War II than Clemson. A total of 6,475 Clemson alums or students faced battle in one theater or another, and 370 died in the name of freedom. The Congressional Medal of Honor was awarded to LTC Jimmy Dyess. • One of Clemson’s most respected coaches was Bob Jones. Jones, a Tiger football coach from 1931-69, coached football, boxing and golf while serving in the armed forces. He served in World War II from 194146 and was honored with several medals. He received the Silver Star, Bronze Star Cluster, Purple Heart Cluster and the Legion of Merit. Jones retired from the military in 1965 as a major general after 35 years of service. • Air Force Major Rudolf Anderson, Jr., a 1948 Clemson graduate, was an American vital to avoiding a third World War. Anderson found himself in the middle of a crisis, flying U-2 spy planes over Cuba. Anderson’s reconnaissance missions, and those of other brave U-2 pilots, witnessed a buildup of Russian ballistic missiles in Cuba. The ensuing chess match, known as the Cuban Missile Crisis, took the world to the brink of disaster. As Anderson flew one last mission over Cuba, he was shot down over the Eastern end of the island nation.

TIGER OFFENSIVE LINE NOTES Clemson’s offensive line has been one of the most overachieving in the nation and is a big reason the Tigers are 10-0. Clemson returned just one offensive line starter from 2014 (Ryan Norton). Norton sustained a knee injury in the second game of the year and has played just three games in 2015. So Clemson really has played with ﬁve new starters on the offensive line this season. The offensive line has been a big reason Clemson has had eight games of 200+ rushing yards, including wins over Louisville, Notre Dame, Georgia Tech and Florida State. The biggest indicator that this line is something special was the win over Notre Dame, when the Tigers

won the rushing battle 202-116. Notre Dame’s offensive line was regarded as among the best in the nation entering the season. In terms of individual honors, Clemson had the ACC Offensive Lineman-of-the-Week in four of its first nine games. Three different players, Jay Guillermo (twice), Joe Gore and Mitch Hyatt have been named ACC Offensive Lineman-of-the-Week. Guillermo won the award in consecutive weeks, the first Tiger offensive lineman to do that since 2007 and just the fifth to do it since player-of-the-week awards started in 1978. Hyatt became the first ACC first-year freshman in 10 years to earn ACC Offensive Lineman-of-the-Week honors. He also became the first Tiger first-year freshman to start at left offensive tackle in a season opener and for course of the season since 1944. Hyatt has played the most snaps by a first-year freshman offensive lineman in school history. Offensive guard Eric Mac Lain was on the preseason watch list for the Lombardi Award and was named preseason All-ACC and midseason All-ACC by SI.com. The Clemson offensive line was named one of the top-14 offensive lines in the nation for the second quarter of the season by the Joe Moore Award.

HIGH GRADUATION SUCCESS RATES Clemson’s football program recorded an all-time best 84 percent for its Graduate Success Rate score, released by the NCAA earlier this month. Head coach Dabo Swinney’s program has made an improvement in its GSR each of the last ﬁve years. Clemson is fourth among Power Five Conference public institutions and is tied for 11th among all Power Five schools. “This is the top ranking when it comes to our program,” said Swinney. “This is our mission...to help these young men be successful in life after they leave here. That means doing everything we can to help them in their education. “I am passionate about this. I keep a list of former players who still have to get their degree and I write them a letter each year asking them what they have left. I stay after them. “The most important accomplishment for our program since I have been head coach is the fact that 114 of our 120 seniors have earned their degree from Clemson University. Five of the six are in the NFL and one is in school Clemson is 7-5-1 (.577) allcurrently.” time on November 21. The

JEFF SCOTT

BOND OF CLEMSON BROTHERS LAST DECEMBER, JEFF SCOTT AND TONY ELLIOTT WERE NAMED COOFFENSIVE COORDINATORS. JUST 11 MONTHS LATER, THEY HAVE USED THEIR STRONG BOND AND COLLABORATION TO LEAD THE TIGER OFFENSE AND TEAM TO THE TOP OF THE COLLEGE FOOTBALL WORLD. BY RACHEL EAGLETON

TONY ELLIOTT COACH SPOTLIGHT

n the spring of 2000, two paths crossed. They did not know it at the time, but in only 15 years, they would be cooffensive coordinators for the top college football team in the country. Tony Elliott and Jeff Scott were teammates before they were friends and friends before they were coaching colleagues. Scott recalled the ďŹ rst time he met Elliott on the practice ďŹ eld. 7

“I had a lot in common with Tony right off the bat because I came in as a walk-on, and he did as well. “Walk-ons tend to look out for each other, especially at the same position. We connected really early, which led into us being stretch partners (pre-practice calisthenics) through our few years together.” Elliott echoed Scott saying their immediate similarities made them fast friends. “Jeff was a hard worker, by-the-book kind of guy. I could see we had a lot of the same values. He was driven in the classroom, wanted to be successful and was going to do whatever it takes. It didn’t matter about his status on the team as a walk-on, he just went to work every day.” The pair was relentless in their hard work on and off the field. Elliott graduated with a bachelor’s degree in industrial engineering in 2002, while Scott graduated with a bachelor’s degree in secondary education the same year. But Scott passed up his final year of eligibility and entered the coaching profession in 2003. It did not take long for both men to return to the sideline. Scott earned his first coaching gig at Blythewood (S.C.) High School and won a state championship in his and the program’s first season. That was a first in the state of South Carolina. Elliott began in business working with Michelin North America in nearby Anderson for two years before entering the coaching world in 2006 as an assistant at SC State. When they learned they would be reunited on the coaching staff at their alma mater, both Scott and Elliott were overjoyed. “When I found out we had an opening for the running backs coach and coach Swinney told me the direction he was 8

heading, I was very excited for coach Elliott,” said Scott. “I knew as soon as I heard he was going to be a coach that he was going to be a great one, because of his work ethic and communication. He really cares about young people.” Elliott said the opportunity has been a blessing and has helped both men grow together. “It was a blessing. I was excited for Jeff because I know he felt a lot of the same things that I felt in terms of having that opportunity to be back at your

alma mater, a place that we care deeply about. “It is very exciting to know that I got to coach with one of my former teammates, but also someone who was like-minded.” After working on the coaching staff together for four years, Scott and Elliott earned the chance of a lifetime...to become co-offensive coordinators with a former teammate at Clemson. “It is very rare at this level of football that you get an opportunity to coach at your alma mater, and that is something we take pride in,” said Scott. “Obviously, having four years together in the same room, we know a lot about each other as coaches and we know each other’s strengths and weaknesses. We know how each other thinks, which really helps us.” Elliott believes that even with the tremendous success of the Tiger program this season, the pair has only gotten stronger. Clemson enters today’s game with a 10-0 record, and the offense has been successful in all phases of the game.

Clemson is one of the few teams in the country in the top 25 in the nation in many rushing and passing areas. The team has had a school-record six consecutive 500-yard games. Including last year’s Russell Athletic Bowl win over Oklahoma, the Tigers are 11-0 with Elliott and Scott running the offense. “We had a great working relationship prior to the new responsibility,” said Elliott. “We are both pulling in the same direction.

responsibility in the game planning, and even helping on certain Saturdays with different calls and situations.” But Scott also credits a less tangible feeling for the strength of the duo. “I think the foundation goes all the way back to playing together. We still have that unspoken respect. We know each other inside and out, and we have a great relationship that goes beyond working together.” Besides being together for 80+ hours a week on the job, Elliott and Scott have something in common outside of the game of football. They both met their wives and best friends at their alma “With the way things are going this year, egos have never come into play. We understand that it takes both of us and that two sets of eyes are better than one.” Scott lends part of their success to the former offensive coordinator, Chad Morris, for allowing them to make decisions in game settings. “I have to give credit to coach Morris, especially in his last two years here, because he gave both Tony and me a lot of

mater. Scott’s wife, Sara, and Elliott’s wife, Tamika, have grown closer over the years, especially this season, as they both gave birth to beautiful and healthy babies just a few weeks apart. “With both Tamika and my wife, Sara, having kids at home, we have even more in common. Tony and I spend 80 hours a week up here together, so we help each other thoroughout this difﬁcult time of the year.”

Scott also said their wives keep a close eye out for one another. “Sara and Tamika talk every day. If Tony or I get home ﬁve minutes earlier than the other, they are texting each other to let the other one know. It is pretty hard for us to pull anything on them.” Another family member that had a big impact on the duo was Scott’s father, former Tiger assistant coach and current assistant athletic director Brad Scott. Elliott recalled looking towards Scott as a father ﬁgure during his time as a player at Clemson.

“Coach Brad Scott was instrumental in me obtaining my ﬁrst opportunity in coaching at SC State because of his relationship with coach Buddy Pough. I look to Jeff’s father as a father ﬁgure.” Without the foundation they built together over the years, Elliott and Scott would not be able to enjoy the sweetness of the ride they are on together. “The fact that we are having the opportunity to do this together is incredible,” said Scott. “We are in the middle of some of the best years of Clemson football. “One day, we are going to be able to look back on all the success we had, and not only doing it at your alma mater, but doing it with one of your former teammates is really special. Being able to enjoy these memories is a great experience and something we both treasure.” However, when it comes to excitement about the future of their relationship, Elliott has something else in mind. “The thing I am looking forward to is when he gets his opportunity to be a head coach, because I know that is something that he wants to do and has been working towards. “I am going to be Jeff’s biggest fan, his biggest advocate and provide him whatever support or advice he may need.” Elliott and Scott have been a support system for each other for almost 15 years. They both feel like something more than friends, and it makes them feel like family. Scott is not sure how they got quite so lucky. “I tell people all the time that coach Elliott and I have one of the best jobs in the country, because we get to do what we love to do, which is coach football and mentor these young men at the place we love. “The best part is we are doing it together.” CLEMSONTIGERS.COM • @CLEMSONFB

VIRTUAL

CLEMSON IS USING VIRTUAL REALITY TECHNOLOGY TO IMPROVE THE PERFORMANCE OF ITS PLAYERS.

ead coach Dabo Swinney considers David Shaw a close friend. So when the Stanford head coach asked him recently to take 20 minutes to check out the latest in football video technology, Swinney happily obliged. “Once I put the goggles on, it was amazing,” said Swinney, peering into the virtual reality software developed in 2014 at Stanford. “It’s like you’re really there.” STRIVR Labs, Inc., was co-founded by a Stanford professor and two former Cardinal football players. On the home page of its website, STRIVR says it is committed to providing high school, college and professional sports teams with a virtual reality solution platform that is highly customized, technologically in-

BY PHILIP SIKES novative and superior in quality to any other offering available. The emerging technology includes the goggles, an audio headset and a remote control used for sifting through the various plays compiled into an online library. A tripod equipped with a GoPro camera is set up behind the line of scrimmage, and it ultimately gives Tiger players a 360-degree view of everything happening on a given snap. Clemson began utilizing STRIVR’s technology in August. “We use it primarily in 7-on-7 skeleton drills,” explained offensive player development assistant Cameron Aiken. “The players come in, put on the goggles and it’s like you’re there. We simulate opposing defenses through our scout team. As you move your head, you get a 360-degree view of the entire ﬁeld.” The idea of virtual reality is the latest in a long line of trends addressing the mental aspect of the game. And according to Swinney, it is the type of preparation that is long overdue.

“The mental part of the game of football is 50 percent of it,” explained Swinney. “You need to grow that. It’s been neglected for years, but now it’s really grown. Virtual reality is just another layer to that mental preparation.” During the season, a big benefit of the virtual reality system has been for identifying blitz pickup. “It’s great for Deshaun (Watson) to come in and see what blitzes are coming,” said quarterbacks coach Brandon Streeter. “He can see it over and over again, so it becomes an instinct when he gets into the game.” Streeter said the system also benefits his backup quarterbacks. “It’s good for them not only for blitz pickup, but also for feeling like they’re in a 7-on-7 rep,” he said. “They obviously don’t see as many reps as Deshaun during the season. It’s extremely valuable when we face the scout team, to see how the defense reacts.” Clemson’s library of plays has grown immensely from the first time the system was used. Each week of practice, the formations and plays against the scout team are logged into the system, populating the library more and more. When a Tiger player wants to come in and view a blitz package for an upcoming opponent, he can do that with a few clicks of the remote control. “For anyone who wants quality reps, watching it on virtual reality as opposed to just regular coaches film helps it feel

like you’re in the moment,” said Streeter. “And we take it with us when we travel, so our guys can use it. It’s valuable from that standpoint.” Streeter’s prized pupil, Watson, has been a big proponent of the new technology. “The guys from Stanford came and showed us, and I loved it,” stated Watson. “With my position, there is a lot of distraction around you. It helps you focus on what you need to see. You need to know where the blitz is coming from, so you can ﬁnd a weakness in the opponent’s coverage. I’m preparing to play fast, and by using it, I’m able to react without thinking.” Aiken said the Tiger coaches do not use the software in meetings, but the staff encourages players to come in and utilize it in their spare time. He sees it being a valuable offseason tool as the company continues to grow the technology and eliminate glitches. Aiken also explained its value in recruiting. For example, a camera can be placed at the top of the Hill to simulate the experience of being at Death Valley in front of 85,000 fans during “the most exciting 25 seconds in college football.” Swinney is glad he spared 20 minutes to see what Stanford’s coach wanted to show him. The trend will only grow, and there is little doubt that Clemson will be among the national leaders in adopting and using virtual reality technology in the future.

BY SEAN BUTLER

RS ANSWE

Q&A AND AN

Q. What has been your best experience as a Tiger? A. The bowl wins and this year has been a great experience, but I still believe the best is yet to come. Q. With the team’s success, how do you stay humbled? A. That comes from our leader, coach Swinney. He ensures that we aren’t looking too far ahead, that we focus on every game and respect those teams. Q. Having experience on both sides of the ball, what skill applies to both that has helped you on defense? A. Knowing how receivers line up and how they stem routes. It helps a lot when you have an idea of what may be coming your way and you know what to look for. Q. What do you do to drown out the noise during games? A. I’m just focused on the game. I only hear the crowd when we are pumping them up between plays. So the noise and hype don’t really factor into it. Q. Being part of the “No Fly Zone,” what do you think is the most critical aspect to your success? A. Our bond and how we compete with each other. We strive to push each other and we want each other to be better in everything we do. We are our best competition. Q. What jacks you up more, a pick or big hit? A. A pick. My first pick against Oklahoma was probably the most exciting play I’ve been a part of. Q. How have your teammates picked you up? A. We have a mutual respect for one another. There’s nothing that can’t be fixed, so we go out there and remind each other that we just have to keep playing our game and fighting while sticking to the gameplan. Q. Who has been your biggest influence? A. My family. We talk all the time. They push and encourage me to keep going hard and keep playing. They have always been there for me. Q. If you could have dinner with any three people, who would they be? A. LeBron James, Michael Jordan and Stacey Dash.

amed the 13th director of athletics in Clemson history on Dec. 1, 2012, Dan Radakovich has led the Tiger athletic department to high achievements both on the field and in the classroom while developing significant upgrades in finance and facilities. Following a remarkable 2014-15, Radakovich was named a finalist for the SportsBusiness Journal Athletics Director-of-the-Year award. In 2014-15, Clemson student-athletes posted the highest athletic department GPA in school history with a 3.02 cumulative average in the fall semester, and its NCAA’s Graduation Success Rate of 91 percent was third nationally among public institutions. Three programs were recognized by the NCAA for having top-10-percent APR marks, including football earning the honor for the fifth consecutive year. The football program recorded its fourth consecutive 10-win season and Clemson earned NCAA Tournament appearances in men’s and women’s soccer, men’s and women’s tennis, track, baseball, rowing and men’s golf. Additionally, the school won ACC titles in men’s soccer, women’s indoor track and women’s outdoor track. Since his arrival in December 2013, the athletic department has received approvals for $158 million in facility improvements and increased spending on direct student-athlete development programs including nutrition, mental health and professional development by $1.8 million. His department has increased overall revenue from $69 million in FY14 to $79 million in FY15 and a projected $85 million in FY16. Radakovich came to Clemson 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. College football entered a new era in 2014 with the College Football Playoff, and he was at the forefront. He was one of 13 people, including one of only five FBS directors of athletics, to be named to the committee. His selection 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 to a new advisory commission charged with making recommendations for the future of NCAA rules and policies. In his first full year as director of athletics in 2013-14, Clemson had a strong all-around 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

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 GPA of 3.0 or better, and student-athletes earned a cumulative GPA of 2.90. 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. 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, it had 51 teams advance to NCAA Tourney play or bowl games. That includes five sports (football, women’s basketball, softball, women’s tennis, men’s golf) that made the postseason every year. The baseball program missed just once. A total of 11 different sports programs finished in the top 25 of at least one major poll 27 times. That includes

The Aliquippa, Pa., native also initiated the Athletic Director’s Initiative Fund, started in 2006, which raised cash and pledges of more than $12 million. Prior to his tenure at Georgia Tech, he worked as a senior associate athletic director at Louisiana State from 2001-06. He became a director of athletics for the first time at American University in Washington, D.C., in 2000. From 1994-00, he served as chief financial officer at South Carolina. During that time, he worked with current Clemson football administrators Woody McCorvey and Brad Scott. He 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 Hawks. 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 sons, Christian, a 2012 Georgia Tech graduate, and Grant, a student-athlete who plays football at Mercer.

Head Coach

DABO SWINNEY AS CLEMSON’S 25TH HEAD COACH, DABO SWINNEY AND HIS ALL-IN APPROACH, BOTH ON AND OFF THE FIELD, HAS LED THE TIGER 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 this year, led the Tigers to the 1981 national championship. Dabo Swinney has been at Clemson just seven 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 2012, 2013 and 2014 seasons were especially noteworthy, with three top-15 final rankings in the polls. Clemson joined Alabama, Florida State, Ohio State and Oregon as the only schools in the nation that can make that claim. Each of Clemson’s teams from 2011-14 also won 10+ games, the first time the program did that since the 1987-90 era. From 2011-14, Clemson had a 4211 record, the most wins in a four-year period in school history. Twenty-seven of the victories took place against ACC teams, including a 38-10 triumph over No. 3 Virginia Tech that gave the Tigers the 2011 ACC title. Nine of the 42 wins the last four years have come against top-25 teams, including five against top-10 opponents. Clemson also became the first non-SEC program to defeat top-10 SEC teams in consecutive games in the history of college football. Clemson was in the top 10 of APR scores and the final top 25 of the AP and USA Today polls in 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014, the only FBS program that could make that claim. In seven years (six full seasons) as the Tigers’ head coach, Swinney has directed Clemson to a 61-26 overall record (.701) and a 39-14 ACC regularseason mark (.736). He has also led the Tigers to the ACC Championship game twice, won one ACC Championship, won or shared three ACC Atlantic Division titles, won four bowl games and has been named national coach-of-the-year twice.

In 2014, Clemson overcame many significant injuries and a difficult road schedule to register a 10-3 overall record and 6-2 mark in ACC regularseason games. Evidence of the mass injuries were shown by the fact that 48 different Tigers started at least one game among the 24 regular positions. The Tigers finished the 2014 season ranked No. 15 in both the AP and coaches polls and were No. 17 in the final College Football Playoff ranking. The top-15 ranking marked the fourth straight year Clemson finished ranked in the polls under Swinney, who was named 2014 Grant Teaff National Coach-of-theYear by FCA. He was also a finalist for the 2014 Bobby Dodd National Coachof-the-Year Award and won the Gene Stallings Award. Swinney’s Tigers joined Alabama, Florida State and Oregon as the only schools in the nation ranked in the top 25 of the final polls each season from 2011-14. Clemson capped off the 2013 season with a thrilling 40-35 victory over No. 6 Ohio State in the Orange Bowl. Clemson had 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 had a 4-0 record in ACC road games, the first time that happened since 1995. 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.

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 ﬁrst-team All-American, as he had 101 catches for 1,464 yards and 12 touchdowns. He established Tiger career records for receptions, receiving yards and tied the receiving touchdowns mark as well.

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 Tigers finished No. 14 in the final BCS standings as well. 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, N.C. It tied for the highestranked team the Tigers defeated in history. The win, the Tigers’ second over the Hokies in 2011, gave Clemson its first 10-win season since 1990. The Tigers’ four wins over top-25 ranked teams established a school record. For his efforts, Swinney was named Bobby Dodd National Coach-of-the-Year in 2011 to become the first Clemson head coach to win a national coach-ofthe-year award since the 1981 season, when Ford directed the Tigers to the national title. C.J. Spiller was a unanimous first-team All-American in 2009 and Da’Quan Bowers duplicated the feat on the defense a year later. Bowers won the

2010 Nagurski Award as the nation’s top defensive player and he received the Hendricks Award as the country’s top defensive end. He led the nation in sacks (15.5) and tied for the national lead in tackles for loss (26). In 2009, Swinney’s first full year as head coach, he led the Tigers to their first championship of the ACC’s Atlantic Division. The Tigers came just six points short of winning their first ACC title in 18 years. Swinney was named ACC Coach-of-the-Year by Sporting News and was a finalist for the Liberty Mutual Coach-of-the-Year Award. Swinney accumulated nine wins, second-most among FBS coaches in their first full year behind Oregon’s Chip Kelly. The nine wins tied for fourth most in ACC history for a first-year head coach. He also led the Tigers to their first bowl win since 2005 in the 21-13 victory over Kentucky in the Music City Bowl. 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 2008 regular season, including a win over South Carolina in the regular-season finale. That strong finish led to a Gator Bowl bid. 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 12 years as an assistant coach or head coach, the Tigers finished in the top 25 of the polls eight times and registered 20 wins over top-25 opponents. 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 in 11 of his 12 seasons in Tigertown, also an unprecedented feat at Clemson. The Alabama native has a reputation as one of the top recruiters in the nation. In 2006, he was listed as the No. 5 recruiter in the nation by Rivals.com. It marked the second straight year that he

was lauded by the website as a top-25 national recruiter. He signed 38 players in his five recruiting seasons as an assistant coach and was a major reason Clemson’s 2008 recruiting class was rated No. 2 in the nation by ESPN.com when he signed 11 players. He was named one of the top-25 recruiters in the nation by Rivals.com in 2007 as well. Swinney received a commerce & business administration degree from Alabama in 1993 after lettering three times (1990-92). A walk-on who went on to earn a scholarship, Swinney was a wide receiver on Alabama’s 1992 national championship team. He was also named Academic All-SEC along with being an SEC Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll member in 1990 and 1992. After his playing career, Swinney served as a graduate assistant from 1993-95 at Alabama, who 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. During his time at Alabama, Swinney was a part of six teams with 10+ wins, five top-10 finishes, one national title (1992), three SEC Championships (1989,92,99) and five SEC Western Division titles as a player and coach. From April 2001 to February 2003, Swinney was in private business in Alabama. He married the former Kathleen Bassett in 1994. They have three sons, Will (17), Drew (15) and Clay (12).

lemson’s Memorial Stadium has been held in high esteem for many years. Whether it be players from the 1940s and 1950s, opposing players from the 1970s and 1980s, or even professional players in the 1990s, the ambiance of this special setting is what college football is all about. And in 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 34 straight seasons. A crowd has exceeded 80,000 fans 70 times since

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. the 1983 season. In 2014, Clemson was 15th in the nation in average home attendance. The legend was further enhanced in 2014 when the Tigers had a perfect 7-0 record at home. 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 26-2 in their 28 home games from 2011-14 as well. Clemson enters 2015

with a nine-game home winning streak, second in the nation behind the 14 by Boise State. 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. “About 40 people and I laid sod on the ﬁeld,” said Howard. “After three weeks on July 15, we had only gotten halfway through.

“I told them that it had taken us three weeks to get that far and I would give them three more weeks’ pay for however long it took. I also told them we would have 50 gallons of ice cream when we got through. After that, it took them three days to do the rest of the field. Then we sat down in the middle of the field and ate up that whole 50 gallons.” Howard said that on the day of the first game in the stadium, “the gates were hung at 1 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 locker rooms, ofﬁces and a luxury club level that has over 1,000 seats. Through the years, Memorial Stadium has become known as “Death Valley.” It was tagged by the late Presbyterian College coach Lonnie McMillian in the late 1940s. After bringing his teams to Clemson for years and getting whipped, he said the place was like “Death Valley.” A few years later, the name stuck. In 1974, the playing surface was named Frank Howard Field for the legendary coach because of his long service and dedication to Clemson University. Luckily, it wasn’t built behind the YMCA.

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” 42

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 the next four years, but when Howard started calling it “Death Valley” in the 1950s, the name took off like wildfire. Clemson celebrated its 73rd year in the “Valley” in 2014 with a 7-0 home record, one of seven FBS schools with a perfect 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 made the logical decision 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, led by Ben Anderson, 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 the 1942 season, except for the years mentioned above and the first game of 1973 (374 times entering 2015). 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 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. CLEMSONTIGERS.COM • @CLEMSONFB

THE INDOOR PRACTICE FACILITY IS ONE OF MANY PROJECTS RECENTLY COMPLETED OR UNDER CONSTRUCTION AROUND MEMORIAL STADIUM.

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, 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. Then in 2015, the Oculus was constructed as the signature vertical element of the stadium. A bridge was also added as a direct connection from the North to the South stands, alleviating congestion on the interior WestZone concourse. 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. CLEMSONTIGERS.COM • @CLEMSONFB

UNIVERSITY PROFILE Wake Forest Institute was founded in 1834 by the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina. The school opened its doors on February 3 with Samuel Wait as principal. Classes were ﬁrst held in a farmhouse on the Calvin Jones plantation in Wake County, N.C., near where the village of Wake Forest later developed. Rechartered in 1838 as Wake Forest College, Wake Forest is one of the oldest institutions of higher learning in the state. The School of Law was established in 1894, followed by a two-year medical school in 1902. Wake Forest was exclusively a college for men until World War II, when women were admitted for the ﬁrst time.

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. 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 four years. That includes top-15 rankings in both categories each of the last three seasons. Clemson is one of only five FBS programs in the top10 percent each of the last five years in terms of APR scores, joining Boise State, Duke, Northwestern and Rutgers.

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

COMPLIANCE T

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 864-6561580, compliance-L@clemson.edu or visit our website (ClemsonTigers.com) for more information.

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.

Ask Before You Act!

• 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 and 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 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. CLEMSONTIGERS.COM • @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 tremendously supportive of the university. That has manifested itself in large seasonticket bases, incredible passion and a great deal of people being involved. Over the past year, we have grown the brand even further by expanding the scope of what IPTAY does. In the last 20 years, college athletics has seen signiﬁcant growth in facilities. The process of recruiting student-athletes is critical to the success of Clemson athletics. As we recruit top high school prospects with schools from around the country, we need to 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 $60.1 million in 2015. These dollars contributed by our 14,988 members directly impact the lives of our nearly 500 student-athletes in our 19-sport athletic program 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 have mentioned above, we are truly “One IPTAY.” This is to say that IPTAY includes all components - annual fundraising, major gifts and planned giving. Over the past year, we have taken on the management and oversight of Clemson athletics premium seating, IPTAY Dealer Program and The Block C Club. These have been three great additions that now fall under the IPTAY umbrella as we continue to grow. The future is bright for both IPTAY and Clemson athletics because of our very important members! If you are not currently a member, I urge you to join and support the “One IPTAY” enterprise. The IPTAY board and our staff are dedicated to doing everything possible to ensure funding for Clemson athletics will be on solid footing for years to come. Thank you for all you have done and continue to do for IPTAY, our student-athletes and athletic program. You are important members of the team, and I appreciate all of your support.

SUPPORTING THE SUCCESS OF CLEMSON’S STUDENT-ATHLETES IN THE CLASSROOM & ON THE FIELD SINCE 1934.

JOEY BATSON & HIS STAFF IN THE WESTZONE’S STATE-OF-THE-ART STRENGTH TRAINING FACILITY HAVE PLAYED A BIG ROLE IN THE TIGERS TOTALING 42 VICTORIES THE PAST FOUR 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 19th season at Clemson, makes sure that all Tiger gridders are ready to compete against the top teams in the nation. In his first 18 years in Tigertown, Clemson has played 16 bowl games and he has coached 28 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. 84

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 five student administrative assistants, Cole Brock, Connor Guess, Drew McDuffie, Will Paruta and Steven Wilson.

JOEY BATSON DIRECTOR OF FOOTBALL STRENGTH & CONDITIONING 19th Season at Clemson 30th Season Overall Newberry ‘85 Born June 22, 1961

Joey Batson is in his 30th year as a strength & conditioning coach at the collegiate level and 19th year as the director of football strength & conditioning at Clemson. He has served as a head strength & conditioning coach 26 of his 30 years of service. Batson was named Master Strength & Conditioning Coach by the Collegiate Strength & Conditioning Coaches Association (CSCCA) in 2009. The honor is the highest given in the profession. He has had a strong impact on the program since he became director in 1997. He has had much to do with the success of the program, helping the Tigers to 16 bowl games and nine top-25 ﬁnishes, including top-15 ﬁnishes each of the last three years. While at Clemson, Batson has had a tremendous impact throughout the state at many notable high school programs. Not only does he bring professional experience to the position at Clemson, he brings experience as a football player at the collegiate level. The Travelers Rest, S.C., native was a tight end at The Citadel in 1979 before transferring to Newberry, where he was a two-year letterman and co-captain during his senior season. Batson earned his bachelor’s degree in physical education from Newberry in 1985 and his master’s degree in education from Clemson in 1988. He is married to the former Susan Malone of Greenville, S.C. They have two sons, Michael and Benjamin. Michael is a freshman on the 2015 Tiger footbal team.

ON FRIDAYS BEFORE HOME FOOTBALL GAMES, TIGER BAND INVITES YOUNGSTERS TO PRACTICE FOR “KIDS KLUB.”

The Band That Shakes The Southland

TIGER BAND

BY DR. MARK SPEDE

COMMUNITY OUTREACH

iger Band is involved with a number of charitable and community outreach programs. There are many reasons we do these things: because it’s the right thing to do, our high proﬁle can spread the word of a particular cause, to teach our band students about the powerful impact and difference they can make on others’ lives and to raise money for charity.

MILITARY APPRECIATION DAY Each fall, we dedicate one of our halftime performances to honoring the military heritage of Clemson, veterans and current military personnel.

BE THE MATCH Tiger Band sponsored a drive on November 11 to recruit other Clemson students to join the national bone marrow registry. Many people who are diagnosed with leukemia can be saved by a bone marrow transplant (which for the donor is just like giving blood), but the chances of ﬁnding a DNA match are only one in 70,000. The more people who join the registry by getting a cheek swab, the better the chances someone can be saved. Almost the entire band is in the registry.

LACHLAN’S LIGHT THE NIGHT It is an event in memory of two-yearold Seneca, S.C., resident Lachlan Tannery, who died of leukemia. Lachlan and

his family got Tiger Band involved with the “Be The Match” program two years ago.

ALS FIGHT For the last number of years, Tiger Band has been raising money for the ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) Foundation.

FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS Each Friday during the fall, part of the band attends an area high school football game to interact with the community and local bands.

ALL IN FOUNDATION Each fall, Tiger Band helps head coach Dabo Swinney raise money for breast cancer awareness and research. This fall, we raised over $3,000 during the Homecoming game.

PEP RALLY FOR ADDISON Jonathan and Stephanie Bolt dreamed about taking their baby girl to a Clemson football game. But bringing nine-month-old Addison to Memorial Stadium could never happen. Addison is unable to travel as she ﬁghts Krabbe disease, a terminal illness that slowly destroys the white matter of the brain.

So the band, cheer squad members and Tiger mascot brought some game atmosphere in the form of a parade and pep rally right to the Bolts’ neighborhood. With a simple test at birth, this disease can be detected and treated, but only if caught before symptoms arise. Once diagnosed, it means the symptoms have been far too great to perform the life-saving treatment. Nerve damage cannot be repaired. We are raising awareness that this test needs to be performed on all newborns so that parents like the Bolts will not have to suffer the loss of their child.

TIGER BAND KIDS KLUB Held every Friday before home games from 5 p.m., to 6 p.m., at the band practice ﬁeld, kids of all ages are welcomed to watch Tiger Band practice for its performances the next day, learn about music and the instruments in the band and play the role of the football team by running through the tunnel.

COMMUNITY PERFORMANCES Each fall, band volunteers go into the community and bring spirit into local schools and retirement communities.

CLEMSON ALMA MATER Where the Blue Ridge yawns its greatness Where the Tigers play Here the sons of dear old Clemson Reign supreme alway.

CHORUS Dear old Clemson, we will triumph And with all our might That the Tiger’s roar may echo O’er the mountain height.

TODAY’S SHOW We salute our seniors, Teague Albenesius, Abigail Aldred, Caroline Anderson, Camlin Ayers, Adam Baker, Drew Bismack, Grayson Bonds, Jeannie Brown, Allie Buckelew, Mitchel Colebank, Kady Rose Culbertson, Shannon Consolo, Alyssa Flynn, Sarah Fox, Katherine Hafner, Eandra Hall, Jacob Hartley, Alexander Hollingshad, Hannah Kimbrell, Cassidy Laird, Brian Londergan, Peter Marvin, Denise McCloud, Michael McDonald, William McMurray, Marilyn McNeary, Hannah Nash, Elisabeth Noil, Melody Ownby, Allison Parris, Mark Payne, Naomi Paz, Michael Poda, Rachael Rockwell, Jaclyn Schmitt, Megan Sech, Ashlyn Slice, Rachel Stevenson, Kyle Sunderman, Brinley Swanson, Ricky Symsick, Amy Woodrum and Maria Zazzara. We also welcome 100 recruits for Tiger Band High School Senior Day. CLEMSONTIGERS.COM • @CLEMSONFB

AUSTIN ANSARI THE TIGER STANDOUT HAS MOVED UP IN THE STARTING LINEUP EACH SEASON.

BY RACHEL EAGLETON

ustin Ansari was not born a natural at tennis. He grew up watching his family play the game he now loves and chose to dedicate his time to practicing this same game. “I started playing tennis when I was ﬁve. My older sister played, so my dad took me to practice and saw that I was good at it. I was in lessons after that. “When I was young, I looked up to my sister in tennis. I also looked to the professionals for inspiration by seeing how ﬁt they were and knowing that I wanted to achieve that some day.” One professional in particular caught the attention of Ansari due to his striking similarities.

“John Isner is from my hometown (Greensboro, N.C.), had the same coach, went to my high school and is top 10 in the world. We see him at the gym when he is home and I played in exhibition doubles with him, which was a fun experience.” After being inspired by both family and professionals, Ansari knew he wanted to take the next step in his tennis career and play for a college team. Originally looking at schools closer to his hometown, Ansari received a tip from his coach, Clemson alumnus Tom Herb, to check out the Tiger program. “My coach from home played (at Clemson). He suggested Clemson, so I visited and I really liked it. I love the

campus and love that football is a big part of the student experience.” Ansari became a starter his freshman year at the No. 6 position. He moved up to No. 4 as a sophomore and was one of the top doubles players in the ACC, ﬁnishing with a 20-8 record. He helped Clemson to the second round of the NCAA Tournament each of his ﬁrst two seasons under the leadership of head coach Chuck McCuen. While he has enjoyed the campus as well as the athletic and student atmosphere, what Ansari really fell for was the potential to help grow a program at a prominent university. “I saw a lot of potential in the tennis team and liked the guys on the team,”

said Ansari. “I wanted to be a part of building a program.” Becoming a part of the program has benefited the style of Ansari’s game. “I am more aggressive in my style of play. Clemson helped me identify my game style and improve on it.” But his time at Clemson has not always been favorable. Ansari has experienced several injuries since his arrival. “It was frustrating to be injured,” he admitted. “I was playing really well in the beginning, but over time, I lost confidence in myself and had to take time off to get better. “Sometimes, I get little pains, but I am ready to come into the season with no injuries.” Injury taught Ansari to focus on himself and make big goals to accomplish once he got back to full health. “I like to have high expectations. I think we have the right crew to finish in the top 10 in the country this season. It seems like everything is coming together and the guys are starting to push themselves harder.” Ansari is back to top shape and ready to start his senior season. He hopes to accomplish his top-10 goal, but to also begin to make a name for himself for when he graduates in May. “I want to play professionally for four or five years and see where this journey takes me.” CLEMSONTIGERS.COM • @CLEMSONFB

F Name Full Joana Eidukonyte M Major PRTM SSport Tennis HHeight 5’7” CClass Senior HHometown Vilnius, Lithuania HHigh School Vilnius Jeruzale Secondary School DDate of Birth Oct. 2, 1994

JOANA EIDUKONYTE THE NATIVE OF LITHUANIA FELL IN LOVE WITH CLEMSON AS SOON AS SHE VISITED THE CAMPUS.

BY COLBY LANHAM

hen Joana Eidukonyte was four, she watched her father take her ﬁve-year-old brother through various tennis drills as he began to learn the game, and she was eager to try it herself. Since that moment, Eidukonyte has been playing tennis, and she does not plan to stop anytime soon. “Apparently, the coach gave me a racket and I started to play,” she said. “I cannot imagine that picture of myself, because at that time, I was probably the same size as the tennis racket. “After the coach saw me play, he told my dad I might make something of myself if I keep playing. Since then, I have never stopped playing tennis.” From that point on, she thrived on the hardcourt, and she eventually decided to take her talents beyond the high school level. Hailing from Vilnius, Lithuania, she believed that it was time to experience something outside of her home country. Education was also a factor in her decision to play collegiate tennis. “Some of my friends attended universities abroad and liked it. I knew that education was an important asset, and I decided I wanted to study and play tennis at the same time.” When deciding where to attend college, Eidukonyte was sold

on Clemson by former assistant coach Scott Kidd even before arriving on campus. Once she took an official visit, she fell in love with the campus. “I loved the family atmosphere of Clemson. Everyone was exceptionally nice. The campus reminded me of my home, with lots of trees and green everywhere. It’s such a beautiful place. I was shocked when I first saw Death Valley. It was so big and I kept staring at it during my official visit because you could practically see it from anywhere.” Life in the United States flew by for Eidukonyte early on. She admitted that it was a bit overwhelming at first, but she credits her teammates for helping her feel at home. “Adjusting to life in Clemson was not as hard as I expected because I had

my teammates who helped take care of me. Without them, my time in Clemson would not have been as fun. Especially Carola (Pederzani), who is from Italy. She has been like a sister to me during the time I have been in the U.S.” When it came to playing tennis overseas, Eidukonyte mentioned how different the atmospheres were, and it is an aspect that she has come to love during her time in Tigertown. “College tennis is different from what I was used to. It’s the same sport, of course, but the atmosphere is completely different. Here, the crowd and even the players scream their hearts out during the match. “At first, I was surprised and uncomfortable with it, but as time passed, I became part of this ‘culture.’ Now, I’m doing those things I never would have imagined myself doing on the court.” Eidukonyte made great improvements in her first two years with the Tigers. In 2013-14, she had a 16-5 overall record and 6-1 ACC mark at No. 6 singles. In 2014-15, she moved up in the lineup, playing primarily at No. 3, and also improved her results with a 37-7 overall record and 12-2 mark in ACC play. Heading into her final year, she still sees herself as a work in

progress and looks to accomplish more in 2015-16. “There is no one key to success, but there are many things that contribute to it. Work ethic is one. For a studentathlete, it is hard to juggle academics and athletics, and ﬁnding that happy medium was important. “Teamwork is another, and one that I’m still working on. Tennis, by nature, is an individual sport. You’re not relying on anyone else to win that point or make that shot. College tennis is very much a team sport, and, although I believe I have improved, I still have to work on being more team oriented.” Through all of the matches, training and experiences, Eidukonyte gives the credit back to her father for introducing her to the sport and helping mold her into the player she is today. “My dad was always there for me. He was, and is, my coach who dedicated his precious time to me. I am grateful for that. The training was harsh, but I believe there wouldn’t be any better way for me to play tennis. I want to give back something to the person who always believed in me.” Eidukonyte has thought about staying in America to pursue a master’s degree in kinesiology or returning to Lithuania to pursue a professional tennis career. No matter what path she chooses, her love of tennis will never leave her. CLEMSONTIGERS.COM • @CLEMSONFB

COL. SANDY EDGE (RET.) MILITARY APPRECIATION DAY SPOTLIGHT

NATIVE SON ON MILITARY APPRECIATION DAY, WE CELEBRATE THE CAREER OF COL. SANDY EDGE (RET.), WHO HAS SERVED THE COUNTRY AND CLEMSON UNIVERSITY FOR DECADES WITH THE SAME LOVE HIS FATHER, W.B., SHARED. BY DON MU MUNSON MUNSO NSON ON

119

“A true leader has the confidence to stand alone, the courage to make tough decisions and the compassion to listen to the needs of others. He does not set out to be a leader but becomes one by the quality of his actions and the integrity of his intent. In the end, leaders are much like eagles...they don’t flock, you find them one at a time.” – Unknown –

et me introduce you to a leader, someone who knows how to mold men and women, how to instruct them, how to inspire them, but most importantly, how to serve them. The great thing about this leader is that he is one of our own, a 1972 Clemson graduate, from the town of Conway, S.C. Sandy Edge became a native son of the Palmetto State on Nov. 9, 1949, graduated from Wampee-Little River High School in 1968, then made his way to Pickens County. After he earned his bachelor’s degree in agricultural education from Clemson, he was commissioned through the Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps. In July 1973, he received his first assignment as officer in charge of aircraft security & law enforcement as well as shift supervisor and operations officer with the 449th Strategic Bombardment Wing at Kincheloe Air Force Base in Michigan.

120

In May 1977, Edge was serving overseas as chief of security police division with the 406th Combat Support Group at Zaragoza Air Base in Spain. In August 1990, after stops in California, Ohio and Georgia, he was selected to deploy to Operations Desert Storm and Desert Shield in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. There, he performed the duties of air base ground defense forces commander

and regional area provost marshal. In June 1991, he was back in the United States serving as chief of the base defense & contingency division and headquarters Air Force security police agency at Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico. Here, he developed, monitored and evaluated concepts and doctrine for the worldwide defense of U.S. Air Force installations against ground and air attack. From July 1994 to July 1997, Edge was director of security and provost marshal for headquarters United States Operations Command at MacDill Air Force Base in Florida. While in this position, he directed security support for a selectively manned uniﬁed command, controlling over 47,000 Air Force, Army and Navy Special Operations forces. His responsibility was supervising command personnel, industrial, physical, computer, anti-terrorism and information security

management programs. Because of his work in this area, he was promoted to the rank of colonel on April 1, 1995. In August 1997, he returned to his beloved Clemson University. Edge became responsible to the Clemson University president and Air Force ROTC commandant for recruiting, training, motivating and educating Air Force ofﬁcer candidates. Edge was the senior military ofﬁcer on campus with dual responsibilities as detachment commander and department chair of aerospace studies with the full rank of professor. He retired from active duty on Oct. 31, 2001 after serving 28 years, three months and 16 days. During his time of service, he was awarded the Defense Superior Service Medal, Legion of Merit, Bronze Star Medal, Meritorious Service Medal with Four Oak Leaf Clusters, Air Force Commendation Medal, Joint Service Achievement Medal, Air Force Achievement Medal, Joint Meritorious Unit Award, Air Force Outstanding Unit Award with Valor Device and Two Oak Leaf Clusters. He also was presented the Air Force Organizational Excellence Award with One Oak Leaf Cluster, National Defense Service Medal with Bronze Star, Southwest Asia Medal with Two Bronze Stars, Air Force Overseas Short Tour Ribbon, Air Force Overseas Long Tour Ribbon, Air Force Longevity Service Award, Expert Marksmanship Ribbon, Air Force

Training Ribbon and Kuwait Liberation Medal Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Government of Kuwait. Edge currently serves Clemson as director of the College of Business & Behavioral Science Advising Center, a position he has held since August 2001. His responsibilities include coordinating freshman and transfer-student orientation programs, college recruiting activities, instructing a freshman-level business class and administration of the college “First Year” Living/Learning community. There is no better person on the Clemson campus to help ﬁrst-year students blend into the Clemson family. “Next to my faith and family, the Clemson family is everything to me,” said Edge. “I found that out when I was in the military and I was unable to be

physically close to my mom, dad, brother and sister. But as I went around the

world, I always ran into people who were from the Clemson family. The Clemson

family will be with me, and for me, forever as long as I live.” It is because of this binding of both Clemson and military that makes Edge appreciate what Military Appreciation Day does each football season. “This is a most special day because of the uniqueness of Clemson, the special DNA of Clemson, the past history and the role of Clemson A&M College and Clemson University. With the nature of the world, I think there will always be a need for a military presence. “Military training at a place like Clemson is hard to beat. We recruit, graduate and commission fine outstanding young men and women in the Army, Air Force and Marines. A place that honors the military tradition like Clemson does is outstanding. “Look at the monuments, look at the parks that are on this campus. Look at the time and effort that our administration puts into our ROTC kids coming here and our alumni raising money and our athletic department recognizing young men and women at soccer games and football games. Clemson gets it. As long as there is an ROTC program somewhere in this country, whether at Clemson or not, Clemson people will be right there to honor those who serve.” The biggest symbol of Clemson’s commitment of honoring those who have served our country and paid the ultimate sacrifice lies just across the street from Memorial Stadium. The Scroll of Honor Memorial currently salutes 489 men in the most unique Clemson way. “It was a family event,” stated Edge. “IPTAY, alumni, fraternities, sororities, ROTC and the athletic department made it a Solid Orange event. You have a prominent location on this campus with the Scroll as the keystone and a park around it. “It is a park that asks the question, ‘How will you serve?’ maybe not in the military, but in life. Third graders go through that park, international Rotary groups go through that park, athletic teams tour that park and other groups as well. And while recognizing that freedom isn’t free and that sacrifice is made in areas where we serve, we all need to think about the question of, ‘How will I serve and give back to Clemson University, my country and the world?’” Clemson will always hold a special place in Edge’s heart. “My kids and my grandkids will come back one day to this campus and reminisce how special this place was to ‘Paw Paw,’ how special this place was to whoever went to Clemson. Your footprints and your footsteps will always be here, and I hope that those who loved me will know in their own special way that Clemson is my safe haven.” Edge carries with him a note (pictured left) from his father written in 1990 that is signed, “Love, Dad.” It is the only time he can remember his father saying, “I love you.” Clemson, be glad that you still have a “Dear Old Son” that says proudly, “I Love You.” CLEMSONTIGERS.COM • @CLEMSONFB

Remembering

CHARLIE BUSSEY & JIM COLEMAN WE LOOK BACK ON THE CAREERS OF THE TWO MEN WHO WERE TIGER TEAMMATES FROM 1954-56 AND WENT ON TO PROMINENT PROFESSIONAL CAREERS. BY BRENT BREEDIN

pon learning of the deaths of Clemson backfield teammates Charlie Bussey and Jim Coleman a month apart this past spring, I could not help but remember the tremendous impact the two had in rejuvenating the Clemson teams of the mid 1950s. They arrived on the Clemson campus in the fall of 1953 as all-state high school quarterbacks from Henderson, N.C., and Honea Path, S.C., respectively, one year after head coach Frank Howard discarded his longtime singlewing offense in favor of the more popular T-formation. Howard felt blessed to have them choose to become the Tigers’ first legitimate quarterback recruits without engaging in a bidding war against other schools. On the other hand, upon first meeting the 6’0”, 160-pound Bussey, Howard was reminded of his remarks upon first setting eyes on the great Banks McFadden when he was recruited in 1936 at 6’3” and 170 pounds. “If you filled him with tomato juice, he’d look like a thermometer.”

CHARLIE BUSSEY

JIM COLEMAN

As for Coleman, he wasn’t much bigger and had played for his father at relatively small Honea Path High School. A third quarterback entered the picture shortly afterwards, Larry Frick of Dreher High School. He was not highly recruited, but came with halfback teammate Joel Wells, who was. Due to Clemson’s 1953 freshman class being ineli-

gible for varsity ball (a national rule at the time) and being limited at the halfback position, Coleman unselﬁshly volunteered to play right halfback in what proved to be a very strong backﬁeld. Like McFadden, what Bussey and Coleman lacked in size, they more than made up with leadership and a will to win.

CHARLIE BUSSEY WAS A TEAM CAPTAIN AND EARNED ALL-ACC HONORS IN 1956.

At quarterback, Bussey was expressive, evoking confidence in leading the Clemson freshmen in 1953. Then as backup to All-ACC signal-caller Don King at the start of the 1954 season, he was called upon to take over against an unranked Georgia team in Athens and the following week at home against Virginia Tech when King was sidelined after injuring his knee in the season opener against Presbyterian College. Both games were lost, with surprisingly tough Georgia Tech finishing the year ranked No. 16 in the AP poll. Many of the Clemson naysayers were disappointed that Bussey had not led the Tigers to a pair of wins, but with No. 14 Florida coming up in Jacksonville the next week and King back in action, a degree of optimism prevailed despite the fact that the Gators had drubbed Clemson 54-13 just two years earlier in Gainesville. King took over first-team duties, with Bussey relegated to his original spot as a backup on a team of backups that included Coleman. In a well-fought game won by the Tigers 14-7, Howard substituted complete teams that played both

offense and defense, and the Bussey unit was credited with outplaying the starters. For the remainder of 1954 and all of 1955, Howard played what would be called the K-unit (for King) and B-unit (for Bussey, the backup). This was good for the media to let them know who was playing, but trust me, Bussey and Coleman were never “B” players. While their ﬁrst varsity season ﬁnished at 5-5, they helped the 1955 squad to a 7-3 record, again as leaders of the B-unit. That would have been a team that went to a good bowl by today’s standards. In 1956, Bussey and Coleman rejoined Wells (All-ACC halfback in 1955),

their freshman teammate on the ﬁrst team, and along with rookie fullback Rudy Hayes, they led the Tigers to their ﬁrst ACC title and second Orange Bowl appearance in the 1950s. Bussey was named team captain and earned All-ACC honors along with Wells, who also made the All-America third team. Coleman trailed Wells and Hayes in total yards, but had a higher per-carry average (4.4) and did most of the punt returning with an 11.3-yard average. In summation, the three years of varsity play by Bussey and Coleman contributed mightily to the Tigers compiling a 19-10-2 record while playing their toughest schedules up to that time. Ten teams were ranked in the top 20 either

at the time of the game or at the end of the season, and four finished in the top 10. Also, wins over South Carolina in 1955 and 1956 ended Clemson’s postWorld War II’s decade drought (1-7-2) against the Gamecocks. Their three years together were a big reason Clemson finished the decade of the 1950s with the 15th-best winning percentage in the nation. Though thin of physique in a day when weight training had not yet taken hold at most colleges, and oft with leg pads because of shin flints, Bussey never missed a game and Coleman only missed one. They were not particularly fast or rugged and did not pass all that well by today’s

standards, but they always seemed to make key plays as needed. Both exuded a love for the game that was contagious. They made their teammates better than they might otherwise have been. They were leaders on and off the field as their achievements upon graduation proved. Both were commissioned officers in the Air Force, with Bussey becoming a jet pilot and instructor while still finding time to assist Air Force Academy coach Ben Martin during his time in Colorado Springs. On completing his military obligations, Bussey returned to his home in Henderson, N.C. He ultimately became president of Laurens (S.C.) Glass. Later, he would return to his love for college athletics as Louisiana Tech’s athletic director before retiring at Clemson and serving as executive director of the Lettermen’s Association, an organization that both he and Coleman had previously led as president. Bussey is a member of Clemson’s Athletic Hall of Fame and previous recipient of the Alumni Association’s Distinguished Service Award. Coleman had a varied and successful career in the textile industry in the Upstate, attaining the level of vice president of manufacturing for the Clinton Division of Clinton Mills Industries. Just as he found time to letter four times each in football, basketball, baseball and track at Honea Path High School, and also letter in baseball at Clemson, he was a volunteer and leader in the Presbyterian Church, YMCA, Clinton Friends & Economic Development Board, Meals on Wheels and United Ministries. It has not seemed right not to have the smiling faces of Charlie Bussey and Jim Coleman greeting their many friends and former teammates this fall, something we have all been accustomed to most of the past 62 years.

A 42-7 RECORD IS JUST THE START OF THE IMPRESSIVE NUMBERS FOR THE 2015 SENIOR CLASS. BY TIM BOURRET

hen head coach Dabo Swinney took this job on a full-time basis in 2008, he received a lot of correspondence from Tiger fans encouraging him to lead the program back to the days of great success, especially during the 1980s when Clemson won a national championship, captured ﬁve ACC titles and had the ﬁfth-best winning percentage in the nation. At a recent press conference, he talked about the program’s recent run and encouraged Tiger supporters to enjoy this time period. “These are the good old days,” said Swinney. His overall goal is to make this the most successful decade in Tiger football history. Clemson is well on its way with 58 wins in this decade in just six years, and this year is not over. Two more wins and this program would reach an average of 10 wins per year for this decade.

This group of 20 seniors that will run down the Hill for the final time this weekend did not come to Clemson with a lot of high recruiting rankings, but it obviously came to Clemson with a lot of heart and leadership. There have been many players who did not become prominent players until their senior seasons, but when they were asked to step up, they did. Here are some of the accomplishments for the 2015 senior class: • Has a 42-7 overall record, and with a win today, it can set the school record for most wins in a four-year period. That would be some accomplishment in the seniors’ final home game. • This class has an 85.7 winning percentage, best in school history. It will have to continue winning to keep that record. The second-best mark is 84.4 by the 1984 seniors, a group that included William Perry. That class finished 37-6-2.

ERIC MAC LAIN (#78) IS ONE OF MANY SENIOR LEADERS WHO HAVE LED THE TIGERS TO A 27-4 ACC RECORD THE PAST FOUR SEASONS.
