RECORD-SETTING THREE SEASONS
2011 32 Wins the Last Three Years Clemson has posted three consecutive double-digit win seasons, the first time the program has done that since the 1987-90 era. Clemson was 10-4 in 2011, 11-2 in 2012 and 11-2 in 2013. The 2012,13 seasons marked the first time the Tigers had consecutive 11-win seasons. The 32 victories are the most in school history for a three-year period, as the previous mark was 30 established in many three-year cycles. Clemson is one of just eight FBS programs to win 10+ games each of the last three years. The Tigers are eighth in wins the last three years with 32.

Offensive Excellence One of the reasons for Clemson’s recent success has been the production of the offense. In the last three years (40 games), Clemson has averaged 38 points and 486 yards per game. The Tigers have converted on third down 46 percent of the time, completed 65 percent of their passes and averaged 6.2 yards per play. Clemson Offensive Numbers (2011-13)

Florida State, Oregon and Wisconsin were the other three schools in a BCS bowl for the second time in three years.

EIGHT Top-25 Wins In the last three years, Clemson has eight wins over top-25 teams, the most in a three-year period in school history. The list of wins includes five over top-10 teams. The Tigers beat a top-10 Virginia Tech team twice in 2011, two of the record four wins over top-25 teams in 2011. The second win over the No. 3 Hokies that year came in the ACC Championship Game. Clemson beat No. 25 Auburn in the 2012 opener, then downed No. 7 Louisiana State in the 2012 Chick-fil-A Bowl. The Tigers topped No. 5 Georgia in the 2013 opener, the third-highest-ranked team Clemson has beaten in Memorial Stadium. With the win, Clemson became the first non-SEC team to beat top-10 SEC teams in consecutive games. The Tigers later defeated No. 6 Ohio State in the 2014 Orange Bowl.
