2014 VERSUS

RECORD-SETTING SENIOR CLASS 2014 SENIOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS • Has won 41 games, most in Clemson history. These seniors established the mark with a 35-17 win over South Carolina on November 29.

• Has more ACC regular-season wins than any other Clemson class with a 26-6 record. The previous record was 24 by the 2013 seniors.

• Had a 26-2 home record, the most home wins by a Tiger senior class. The previous record was 24 by the seniors of 2012 and 2013.

• The class had a streak of 50 consecutive weeks ranked in the AP top 20, tied for the longest streak in Tiger history.

• Has eight wins over top-25 teams, tied for second-most by a Tiger senior class. The record is nine by the seniors of 2006 and 2013. The 2011 Tigers won four games over top-25 teams, the school record for a season.

• Has four wins over top-25 SEC teams, more than any other non-SEC class in the country. This class has five total wins over SEC teams.

• One of just six schools to finish in the top 15 of the BCS standings in 2011, 2012 and 2013.

• Has played in two Orange Bowl games, the second class (2013) since the seniors of 1958 to play in two “major bowls.”

TOP-25 SEASONS Clemson has been ranked in the final top 25 each of the last three years and hopes to make it four straight years with a good performance in the Russell Athletic Bowl. Clemson is ranked No 18 in the final regular-season poll by AP and the coaches.

Clemson is one of six schools with a chance to finish in the top 25 of at least one of the final polls four years in a row. Alabama, Florida State and Oregon are certainly locks to do it. Clemson, Louisiana State and Oklahoma have a chance to complete the four straight years in the top 25 with a good bowl performance.

A victory over Oklahoma would also give Clemson a chance at a top-15 final ranking each of the last three years. There are seven schools with a chance to do that.

POLL STREAK Clemson saw its streak of 50 consecutive appearances in the AP and coaches polls end after the 23-17 overtime loss at No. 1 Florida State on September 20. The streak tied the Tiger record for consecutive poll appearances.

Clemson was in 50 straight polls from 1989-92 as well.

The Tigers had a streak of 41 straight poll appearances from 1986-89, missed one week, then had the 50-poll streak. So Clemson actually appeared in 91 of 92 polls between 1986-92.

Clemson returned to the AP poll on October 12 with a No. 24 ranking and is No. 18 entering the bowl season.

SEVENTH MOST WINS Clemson’s senior class has a 41-11 record in its four seasons. The Tigers went 10-4, 11-2 and 11-2 the past three years and have a 9-3 mark in 2014. The 41 wins are tied for the seventh most wins for an FBS senior class, tied for fifth among Power Five conference members.

It is interesting to note that Clemson’s seniors have beaten six teams (Florida State, Georgia, Louisiana State, Louisville, Ohio State, South Carolina) on the chart below over their four years. Oklahoma is also on the list.

DOUBLE-DIGIT WINS Clemson has 10+ wins each of the last three years, and a win in the Russell Athletic Bowl would give Clemson four straight years with 10+ victories. Clemson has not done that since the 1987-90 era, when the Tigers had four straight 10-2 seasons.

Heading into this year, just eight schools had a chance to get a fourth straight 10-win season. Three schools, Alabama, Northern Illinois and Oregon have already clinched a fourth straight 10-win season. A look to the chart below shows that Clemson is the only one of the five remaining schools with a chance to join them. The other four have less than nine wins.

BOWL WINS Clemson is seeking its third straight bowl victory, something the program has not done since it won five bowl games in a row between 1986-90. Clemson defeated Louisiana State 25-24 in the 2012 Chick-fil-A Bowl and downed Ohio State last season in the Orange Bowl.

A victory in the Russell Athletic Bowl would give this senior class three bowl victories, something that has not been done since the senior class of 1991 had a 3-1 record in bowl games. The 1989 and 1990 senior classes were 4-0 in bowl games.

Clemson is one of 13 schools, including nine from the Power Five conferences, with a chance to win a third straight bowl game in three consecutive years. The list includes Arkansas State, Arizona, Clemson, Central Florida, Florida State, Louisiana-Lafayette, Louisville, Michigan State, Mississippi, Oregon, South Carolina, Texas A&M and Utah State.

APR SCORES The Tiger football program was honored in May 2014 when the NCAA released its Academic Performance Public Recognition Awards. Dabo Swinney’s Tigers were among the top-10 percent of all FBS programs nationally in APR score (Academic Progress Rate), the fourthconsecutive year the program has been in the top-10 percent.

Clemson is one of only five FBS programs in the top-10 percent each of the last four years, joining Boise State, Duke, Northwestern and Rutgers. Clemson is the only FBS program nationally to finish each of the last three seasons in the top 25 of both polls on the field and in the top-10 percent of APR scores.

Clemson and Stanford are the only two FBS programs with a top-10 final ranking in the coaches poll and a top-10 percent ranking in FBS APR scores each of the last two seasons.

Clemson was one of 13 schools honored, while the ACC had the most representatives on the list with four, as Boston College, Duke and Georgia Tech were also named.

@ClemsonFB

VERSUS

PERSONNEL OVERVIEW C lemson enters the Russell Athletic Bowl with a 9-3 overall record, 6-2 ACC mark and top20 ranking by all three of the polls, No. 17 in the College Football Playoff poll, No. 18

by AP and No. 18 in the coaches poll. Dabo Swinney’s Tigers have won eight of their last nine games with the only loss since September being a 28-6 defeat at Georgia Tech in the 10th game of the season.

Clemson is coming off a 35-17 victory over South Carolina. Clemson also defeated bowl-eligible teams North Carolina, NC State, Louisville and Boston College. It marked the fourth straight year Clemson beat five bowl-eligible teams in the regular season.

The Tigers are led by their senior class that has a school-record 41 victories. This class also holds the mark for conference wins (26-6) and home wins (26-2).

It is looking to become the first Clemson senior class to record four straight 10-win seasons since the seniors of 1990. The group also has eight wins over top-25 teams.

A win over No. 24 Oklahoma would tie the school record in that category for a senior class.

has a 5-2 record as a starter. He led the Tigers to wins over bowl-eligible teams Louisville and Boston College.

Stoudt’s best game might have been the victory at Boston College when he won the “Leather Helmet Award” as the game’s MVP. Stoudt, the son of former NFL quarterback Cliff Stoudt, had a career-high 29 completions for 285 yards against a defense that is 12th in the nation in total defense.

Stoudt will be Clemson’s quarterback against Oklahoma, as freshman Deshaun Watson had surgery to repair a torn ACL in early December. Watson completed 93-137 passes for 1,466 yards and 14 touchdowns against just two interceptions in eight games (five starts) in 2014.

Watson finished his season with a passing efficiency of 188.6, a figure that would have led the nation had he played just one more game. In his first start, he passed for 435 yards and a school-record six touchdowns in a win over North Carolina. The touchdown total set an ACC freshman record. He had a 4-1 record as a starter,

OFFENSE Clemson has not had as prolific an offense as it had the previous two years it averaged 40+ points and 500+ yards per game. But the 2014 edition has averaged 30 points and 410 yards per game, just the eighth team in school history to reach those levels.

Swinney has some new faces from a coaching standpoint for the bowl game, as Chad Morris became head coach at Southern Methodist. Swinney promoted Tony Elliott and Jeff Scott to co-offensive coordinator duties.

Elliott will be the playcaller.

Swinney added former Tiger quarterback Brandon Streeter (1996-99) to the staff as quarterbacks coach.

Streeter had been the offensive coordinator at Richmond from 2012-14 and helped that program to the FCS playoffs this season with a top-10 passing offense.

Clemson is averaging 153 rushing yards and 257 passing yards in 76 plays per game. The Tigers have passed for 3,085 yards, seventh-most in school history, but it is divided evenly between two quarterbacks.

From 2011-13, Tajh Boyd started all 40 games, but the 2014 quarterback position has been beset by injury.

Cole Stoudt has passed for 1,573 yards in 12 games (seven starts). He has completed 165-266 passes and

the most wins in Clemson history by a first-year freshman quarterback.

Clemson has two Second-Team All-ACC wide receivers in sophomore Mike Williams and first-year freshman Artavis Scott. Williams has 48 receptions for a teamhigh 918 yards and five touchdowns. His 19.1 yardsper-catch figure is fourth-best in the nation among receivers with 45+ receptions.

Scott has a team-high 68 receptions for 851 yards and a team-high seven touchdowns. Scott had 185 receiving yards in the win over South Carolina, the most in school history by a freshman and the most by a Tiger against South Carolina. He is third in the nation among freshmen in receiving yards.

Germone Hopper has 26 catches for 307 yards and two touchdowns, while Adam Humphries has 26 receptions for 176 yards. The senior has 123 career receptions, more than any other active Tiger.

Clemson has completed 31 passes to tight ends this year. The group is led by Jordan Leggett with 14 receptions for 161 yards and a touchdown.

The Tigers’ ground game showed improvement over the second half of the regular season, as they averaged 175.2 rushing yards over the last five games. That included a 225-yard effort in the win over South Carolina.

Clemson’s team improvement paralleled the improvement by leading rusher Wayne Gallman. The redshirt freshman has 714 yards and four touchdowns on 142 carries. He has a team-high 18 carries of 10+ yards and is averaging 5.0 yards per carry. He is averaging 105 rushing yards per game in the last five games and went over the century mark three times, including a 191-yard effort against South Carolina that was the most rushing yards by a Tiger freshman since 1952.

Tyshon Dye had the second-most carries over the last two games of the regular season, including 124 yards on 20 carries with two touchdowns in the win over Georgia State on November 22. Dye did not play the first eight games of the season as he was recovering from a torn Achilles tendon.

The run blockers and pass protectors feature three seniors and two juniors. The five starters have played 3,780 snaps, an average of 756 per player. The group has played a combined 193 games (98 starts).

The offensive line is led by seniors Kalon Davis and David Beasley. Both were named Honorable Mention

@ClemsonFB

PERSONNEL OVERVIEW

All-ACC. Clemson has had many injuries on the offensive line in 2014, so it became one of the most versatile units in recent memory. Davis and senior guard Reid Webster have both played four of the five offensive line positions this season.

Davis is one player who has remained healthy, as he has started every game and played a team-high 837 snaps. The only Japanese major in college football is a veteran of 48 games (20 starts).

Beasley is finishing up his third year as a starter.

Webster is in his first year as a starter, but his 801 snaps are second-most on the team.

Ryan Norton is the starting center who has played 705 snaps and has started 23 of the last 25 games.

Joining Davis at a starting tackle spot is Isaiah Battle. The junior got his baptism to college football in the 2012 Chick-fil-A Bowl against Louisiana State, and he responded well going head-to-head against a front that featured four future NFL players. Battle has started 10 games this year.

DEFENSE Clemson is first in the nation in total defense, allowing just 259.6 yards per game, the school’s best figure since the 1990 unit led the nation when it allowed just 219 yards per game thanks to the performance of eight future NFL starters.

The Tigers are also first in the nation in six other categories, including fewest first downs allowed (168), fewest yards per play allowed (4.03), tackles for loss per game (10.2) and plays of 10+ yards allowed (116).

It has been a balanced defense in that it has been just as good defending the run versus the pass. Clemson is first in total defense, third in pass defense, seventh in rush defense and seventh in scoring defense.

Clemson is the only school in the country in the top 10 in all four major categories.

Brent Venables’ defense has allowed 162 passing yards per game and 98 rushing yards per game. Five times the opposition has failed to gain 200 total yards, seven times the opponent has failed to gain 100 rushing yards rushing and five times it has failed to average 3.0 yards per play.

The Tigers have four First-Team All-ACC players according to the ACC coaches, more than any other school.

Vic Beasley is the most decorated Tiger on defense.

The graduate has 11 sacks and 18.5 tackles for loss to lead the ACC. He is the leader among active FBS players in career sacks (32) and tackles for loss (49.5).

SENIOR DEFENSIVE TACKLE GRADY JARRETT HAS 69 TACKLES TO ANCHOR CLEMSON’S VETERAN DEFENSIVE LINE.

Beasley was named ACC Defensive Player-of-theYear, was a finalist for the Bednarik, Lombardi and Hendricks Awards and is a first-team All-American.

But Beasley has plenty of help from his senior classmates. The Tigers start eight seniors on defense and they are all big reasons Clemson has held eight opponents to 20 points or less. Clemson won all eight.

Joining Beasley on the First-Team All-ACC squad is defensive tackle Grady Jarrett. The emotional leader of the team, Jarrett has 69 tackles, most among defensive linemen and third-most on the team.

Also making big contributions to Clemson’s deep front four is senior defensive end Corey Crawford, who has seven tackles for loss, and senior defensive tackles DeShawn Williams and Josh Watson. Williams has 52 tackles and eight tackles for loss, while Watson has 47 stops and 3.5 tackles for loss. Senior defensive end Tavaris Barnes has added 19 tackles, three sacks and a touchdown.

The cupboard will not be bare up front next year, as Clemson returns Shaq Lawson, a sophomore defensive end who has 11 tackles for loss and 21 his first two years. Junior lineman D.J. Reader has been an occasional starter and has 27 tackles and eight quarterback pressures. Carlos Watkins is another young player who has made a big contribution.

The linebacker position starts two seniors, and they are two of the top four tacklers on the team. Stephone Anthony and Tony Steward were five-star linebackers coming out of high school. They have combined to have their best seasons in 2014 and are big reasons Clemson leads the nation in total defense.

Anthony is a First-Team All-ACC selection and one of 15 semifinalists for the Butkus Award. The senior has a team-high 87 tackles and has added 9.5 tackles for loss and four pass breakups. His interception against Ohio State sealed the victory in the 2014 Orange Bowl.

Steward is a great success story who has overcome two ACL injuries. The Florida native is fourth on the team in tackles (68) and has 10 tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks. He has had at least seven tackles in five of the 12 games.

The third starter in the linebacker corps has varied based on the opposing team’s offensive tendencies.

Korrin Wiggins has started six of the 12 games as a nickel back. B.J. Goodson has started five games and has 33 tackles and three recovered fumbles, tied for eighth-most in the nation.

Three other linebackers figure to see significant time in the Russell Athletic Bowl, as Anthony must sit out the first half due to a targeting call in the second half of the South Carolina game. Ben Boulware has been productive when given the opportunity, as he has 52 tackles, sixth-most on the team.

Kellen Jones is a transfer from Oklahoma who has 27 tackles, 21 of them on 120 defensive scrimmage plays. Dorian O’Daniel has 27 tackles in 11 games, including a team-high 10 stops at Georgia Tech.

Clemson’s secondary is led by First-Team All-ACC cornerback Garry Peters. The senior is in his first year as a starter, as he is in the top 10 in the ACC in pass breakups. He also forced a key fumble that led to a touchdown against Louisville. Peters has 51 tackles and eight tackles for loss.

Senior safety Robert Smith and freshman cornerback Mackensie Alexander are both Honorable Mention All-ACC picks. Smith is second on the team in tackles (76) and has two interceptions. Alexander has been a shutdown corner that opposing offenses shy away from.

He has 18 tackles and four pass breakups.

The fourth starter in the secondary is sophomore Jayron Kearse. The Florida native is fifth on the team in tackles (63). Jadar Johnson was the starter against South Carolina. Both Kearse and Johnson have two interceptions in 2014.

VERSUS

SPECIAL TEAMS

TONY STEWARD (#7), VIC BEASLEY (#3) AND STEPHONE ANTHONY (#42) ARE THREE BIG REASONS CLEMSON LEADS THE NATION IN TOTAL DEFENSE IN 2014.

Clemson has a solid kicking combination in placekicker Ammon Lakip and punter Bradley Pinion. Lakip was a semifinalist for the Groza Award and has made 19-25 field goals. He got off to a rough start with short misses at Georgia and Florida State, then made 13 in a row at one point.

Pinion has a 42.5-yard average and a 40.0-yard net figure on 70 punts. His net average is sixth-best in Clemson history. The junior has already broken his own record for punts inside the 20 with 26, while he has 16 punts of 50+ yards. He did not have a touchback in the first 102 punts of his career and has just two in his career. Pinion also has 30 touchbacks in 66 kickoffs.

Adam Humphries handles the punt returns. His 72yard return for a score against Louisville is the longest in the ACC this year and the first punt return for a score by a Tiger since 2009. T.J. Green, who was injured the last two games of the year, is averaging 21 yards per kickoff return.

CLEMSON VS. OKLAHOMA SERIES • Clemson and Oklahoma have played three times, and the Sooners have a 2-1 lead dating to the 1963 season.

Oklahoma is 2-0 at Norman, Okla., and the Tigers won the only meeting at a neutral site, the Citrus Bowl on Jan. 2, 1989. Oklahoma has never played at Clemson.

The Tigers’ 13-6 victory was played in the same stadium as this year’s game, although there have been many changes to the facility over the last 26 years.

• Oklahoma has a 2-1 lead in the series, but the Sooners have passed for just 198 combined yards in the three games. They had 20 passing yards in their victory in 1963, 40 in the 1972 game and 138 in the 1989 Citrus Bowl.

CLEMSON VS. BIG 12 Clemson has a 4-7 all-time record against teams currently in the Big 12 Conference. The Tigers have not beaten a team from the Big 12 Conference since the 1989 Gator Bowl, when the Tigers defeated West Virginia 27-7. The year before, Clemson downed Oklahoma 13-6 in the Citrus Bowl. Clemson has only four wins over current Big 12 teams, but two of the four were in consecutive seasons in bowl games.

The Tigers’ greatest victory came in the 1982 Orange Bowl over then Big 8 Conference member Nebraska. The win gave Clemson its only National Championship.

Clemson defeated two Big 12 Conference teams (Texas A&M and Colorado in 2005), but both schools are no longer in that league.

1963 CLEMSON VS. OKLAHOMA GAME Oklahoma won the first meeting with Clemson on Sept. 21, 1963 at Owen Field in Norman, Okla. by a score of 31-14. The Sooners were No. 4 in the AP poll and finished the year with an 8-2 record.

Clemson took a 14-0 lead on a warm day that saw the thermometer reach 89 degrees. The Tigers scored on a 14-yard pass from Jim Parker to Lou Fogle and a three-yard run by Hal Davis. But Oklahoma scored the last 31 points of the game. A key play was a 49-yard touchdown run by Lance Rentzel, who went on to play many years with the Dallas Cowboys.

Both coaches in this game are in the College Football Hall of Fame. Bud Wilkinson was the coach for Oklahoma and Frank Howard was the coach for Clemson. Wilkinson retired from college coaching at the end of the 1963 season. Howard coached the Tigers through the 1969 season.

BOWL NOTES

Clemson was No. 8 by UPI, No. 9 by AP and No. 10 by USA Today.

It was the final game at Oklahoma for Head Coach Barry Switzer, who was the winningest active coach in the country in terms of winning percentage entering the game. He finished with a 157-29-4 record, as the 29th loss came against Clemson. Ironically, Tiger Head Coach Danny Ford ended his career with the Tigers with 29 losses. Switzer is now in the College Football Hall of Fame. Ford is on the current ballot.

Oklahoma ran the “Wishbone” offense at the time, and it was the first time Ford had faced a “Wishbone” team in his head coaching career. Clemson held Oklahoma to 116 rushing yards and no touchdowns. It was the fewest rushing yards for Oklahoma in a bowl game since 1965.

Clemson scored the only touchdown of the game on a four-yard run by Terry Allen with 10:28 left in the game.

Allen finished with 53 rushing yards and 47 receiving yards for 100 yards from scrimmage.

Oklahoma drove from its own 20 to the Clemson 14 in the final three minutes, but Jamelle Holieway’s pass in the endzone was batted away by freshman Dexter Davis on the last play of the game.

The defensive MVP was Jesse Hatcher, who had nine tackles, an 18-yard sack and two pass breakups. Ed McDaniel was Clemson’s top tackler with 14 stops.

Rodney Williams, currently the color commentator on the Clemson radio network, was the Tigers’ starting quarterback. It was his final game for the Tigers, his 32nd career victory, still tied for most in school history.

One of the Tigers who had a big impact on the game was Donnell Woolford. The first-team All-America cornerback was playing his last game as a Tiger, and he was moved to a roverback position for this game by Coach Bill Oliver. Oliver had Woolford roam the field to help in defending Oklahoma’s vaunted rushing attack. He had five tackles and two pass breakups. Woolford was Clemson’s “Legend” representative at the ACC Football Championship Game this season.

@ClemsonFB

BOWL STREAK Clemson has been to a bowl game every year since the 2005 season and has a streak of 10 consecutive years.

That is tied for the 10th-longest streak in the nation.

The streak began when the Tigers last played a game in Orlando in the Champs Sports Bowl, a 19-10 victory over Colorado.

The last year Clemson did not go to a bowl was 2004 despite the Tigers being bowl eligible that year. Therefore, Clemson has a streak of 16 consecutive years of bowl eligibility.

The ACC is well represented on the following chart.

Florida State has the longest streak with 33, Virginia Tech is second with 22 and Georgia Tech is tied for third with 18. Clemson’s opponent in this game, Oklahoma is fifth with 16.

1972 CLEMSON VS. OKLAHOMA GAME An Oklahoma team filled with All-Americans and future College Football Hall of Famers defeated Clemson 52-3 on a 62-degree day in Norman, Okla. in 1972.

Oklahoma was ranked No. 2 in the nation and finished with an 11-1 record.

Oklahoma had 475 yards on 76 carries, still the second-most rushing yards in history against the Tigers.

The Oklahoma offense featured Greg Pruitt and Joe Washington, while the Oklahoma defense featured the Selmon brothers and All-America linebacker Rod Shoate, one of just two three-time All-Americans in Sooner history.

Oklahoma had 515 total yards, while Clemson had just 185, including just 25 passing yards. Clemson’s defense had to make a lot of tackles with so many running plays, as four different players tied for the team lead with 12 apiece. Those players were Ben Anderson, Willie Anderson, John Rhodes and Jimmy Williamson.

1989 CLEMSON VS. OKLAHOMA GAME Clemson and Oklahoma last met in the Citrus Bowl on Jan. 2, 1989, the same stadium the two teams will play in the bowl game. Clemson won the game 13-6, the first victory for an ACC team over the Sooners. Oklahoma had been 12-0 against ACC teams entering that game.

Clemson finished in the top 10 of the AP poll for the first time since 1982 with the victory over Oklahoma.

CLEMSON RECORDED ITS EIGHTH WIN IN NINE GAMES WITH THE 35-17 WIN OVER SOUTH CAROLINA ON NOVEMBER 29.

Clemson was ranked No. 16 in the preseason poll, so the Tigers could finish at or better than their preseason ranking with a bowl win. Clemson’s highest ranking at any point this year was its preseason ranking of No. 16. But the Tigers have been as high as No. 17 in the coaches poll and No. 17 in the College Football Playoff poll.

2014 RUSSELL ATHLETIC BOWL GUIDE

ODD BUT TRUE NUMBERS IN 2014

OCTOBER TO REMEMBER

• Clemson has won 37 straight games when leading heading into the fourth quarter. The streak dates to a 16-13 loss at Florida State in 2010.

• Clemson has allowed 75 rushing first downs and 75 passing first downs in 2014.

• Clemson held Florida State to -12 yards rushing in regulation but came up short on the scoreboard.

• Clemson is making its first bowl appearance in a year that ends in the No. 4. Entering 2014, Clemson was just 52-52-2 in the 12 years Clemson has played a season that ends in the No. 4 dating to 1904. This is just the sixth winning season out of those 12 years.

Prior to this year, the best season Clemson had in a year that ended in No. 4 was 1974 and 1984, when Clemson was 7-4 each season.

• Deshaun Watson passed for 1,466 yards this year in eight games, the exact same yardage new Quarterback Coach Brandon Streeter passed for in his senior year (1999) for Clemson in the same number of games.

Both battled injuries in those seasons.

Clemson had a 4-0 record in the month of October, and a strong defense had a lot to do with it. The Tigers allowed just 9.0 points per game, 213 yards per game, 10.8 first downs per game and 9-61 third-down conversions in October. Clemson was first in the nation in all of those categories.

The Tigers downed NC State 41-0 to open the month, Clemson’s first shutout against an ACC team since 1998.

They followed that up with a 23-17 win over Louisville, who had the No. 1 total defense at the time.

The Tigers then downed Boston College, who was eighth in total defense in the nation, by a score of 17-13 on the road in Chestnut Hill. Clemson closed the month with a 16-6 victory at home over Syracuse. The Tigers held the Orange under 100 yards in both rushing and passing.

SUCCESSFUL DECADE Clemson has a 72.7 winning percentage (48-18) this decade, the second-highest mark in school history. There are many more games to be played this decade, but only the decade of the 1980s is better in terms of percentage.

In the 1980s, Clemson had a 76.7 winning percentage under Head Coach Danny Ford, the fifth-highest winning percentage in the nation. Clemson won 65.8 percent of its games in the 1950s under Head Coach Frank Howard, 15th-best in the nation.

CLEMSON AMONG BEST IN WSJ CHART Following three consecutive 10-win seasons, including back-to-back top-10 finishes on the field coupled with four straight years among the top-10 percent in the NCAA’s Academic Progress Report, Clemson football again is perched in the top right corner of the Wall Street Journal’s grid of “admirable” and “powerhouse” programs.

Clemson is the only FBS program to finish each of the last three seasons in the top 25 of both polls on the field and in the top-10 percent of APR scores in the classroom.

Clemson and Stanford are the only FBS programs with a top-10 final ranking in the coaches poll and a top-10 percent finish in FBS APR scores each of the last two years.

The Wall Street Journal places teams across an x-axis based upon on-field success and a y-axis correlated to off-field reputation. Clemson has been in the top right quadrant each of the last two years.

CLEMSON NO. 3 IN GSR The Clemson athletic department again achieved exceptional ratings in the NCAA’s most recent Graduation Success Rate report released October 28, in which data from the 2004-07 academic years were included. The overall athletic department rate of 91 percent was No. 3 nationally among public institutions.

The 91-percent mark was an institutional high in the 10th year of the NCAA metric. Clemson’s score improved from last year’s reported 87, marking the sixth consecutive year of improvement in the overall graduation rate.

The overall Graduation Success Rate is tied for No. 11 among FBS schools and is in the top-20 percent of the 346 institutions reporting. Clemson’s 91 percent was No. 1 among ACC public schools and No. 4 in the ACC overall.

“From IPTAY’s emphasis on support of Vickery Hall, to the emphasis placed on graduation and preparation for life by each of our coaches, it’s good to see the numbers continue to show the results of the hard work of everyone in our department,” said Director of Athletics Dan Radakovich. “Clemson continues to show it is a leader in both the academic and athletic fields, and credit belongs with each of our student-athletes who have worked to achieve both on and off the field.”

The women’s basketball, rowing, men’s soccer, swimming & diving, women’s tennis and women’s volleyball programs each posted a 100-percent rate for the period, while women’s soccer had a 95-percent mark and men’s tennis recorded a 90-percent mark.

Football posted an 81-percent graduation success rate in the 2007 cohort study, its highest since the data was first released in 1998.

CLEMSON IN TOP 20 Clemson University is among the top-20 national public universities according to U.S. News & World Report’s annual guide to “America’s Best Colleges” for 2015. Clemson is No. 20 on the list, its highest ranking and seventh consecutive year the school has been in the top 25.

Additionally, Clemson is No. 8 among “up-and-coming schools” that have made “the most promising and innovative changes in academics, faculty, students, campus or facilities.” Clemson also is recognized for “writing in the disciplines.” This recognition highlights outstanding academic programs commonly linked to student success.

Clemson consistently receives recognition for making writing a priority at all levels of instruction and across the curriculum. Clemson is identified as one of 11 colleges and universities in the nation that makes writing a priority across all disciplines. Among national public universities, Clemson is No. 31 in undergraduate engineering programs and No. 50 in undergraduate business programs.

BOWL NOTES

The current senior class is 38-2 when it has more yardage than the opponent.

OFFENSIVE LINE GOING THE DISTANCE Clemson had the same five players start and play every snap on the offensive line in wins over Louisville and Boston College. Both teams had top-10 rankings in total defense entering the game. The group played all 73 snaps against Louisville and all 81 snaps at Boston College.

The Tiger lineup included Kalon Davis and Isaiah Battle as the tackles, David Beasley and Reid Webster as the guards and Ryan Norton at center. Clemson was down a couple of players due to injury, as Joe Gore and Jay Guillermo were out.

How often has Clemson played the same five on the offensive line for an entire game? The two games listed above represent the fifth and sixth times this century.

Prior to the Louisville game this year, Clemson last played the same five offensive linemen the entire game against Virginia Tech in 2012. The Tigers also did it against South Carolina in 2002 and against Virginia and North Carolina in 2000.

This was the first time on record (since 1987) Clemson played the same five offensive linemen the entire game for consecutive games. It is interesting to note that Clemson is 6-0 since 2000 when the same five offensive linemen play the entire game.

SIX SOPHOMORES & FRESHMEN SCORE TDs Everyone knew Clemson would have a different look when it came to the receiver position in 2014 with Sammy Watkins and Martavis Bryant both moving on to the NFL. The young Clemson wideouts have done very well, and that was especially the case against North Carolina.

Clemson scored six touchdowns in the 50-35 win, and all six were scored on receptions by freshmen and sophomores. The group combined for 20 receptions for 363 yards and six touchdowns.

Sophomore Germone Hopper had three catches for 139 yards, including a 74-yard receiving touchdown and

@ClemsonFB

a 50-yard touchdown catch. It was the second game in his career that he had two receiving touchdowns. Sophomore Mike Williams added six catches for 122 yards and two touchdowns. It was the eighth time in history that Clemson had two 100-yard receivers.

Freshman Artavis Scott had a team-high eight catches for 66 yards and a touchdown, while sophomore tight end Jordan Leggett had just one catch, but it went for a touchdown.

VERSUS

50 FIRST Clemson had never scored exactly 50 points in a game prior to September 27 when the Tigers defeated North Carolina 50-35 at Memorial Stadium. The 50th point was scored by Ammon Lakip after a receiving touchdown by Jordan Leggett with 5:56 left in the game.

Now, the only point totals under 60 Clemson has never scored are one and four. Obviously each number is fairly difficult to finish a game with. Clemson did score exactly two points against Georgia Tech in 1933 and had five points in 1912 against Georgia.

Clemson has now scored 50 or more points in a game 65 times, including 12 times the last four years.

In 2013, the Tigers had a school-record five games in which they scored 50+ points. That included a streak of three games in a row with 50+ points in consecutive wins over Virginia, Georgia Tech and The Citadel.

DEFENSE THE BEST SINCE...

Clemson has the No. 1 total defense in the country, allowing 259.6 yards per game. That is Clemson’s best figure since 1990, when the Tigers allowed just 219.2 yards per game. That is the only other time Clemson had the top defense in the nation.

CLEMSON HAS ONE OF THE NATION’S BEST COMBINATIONS OF ADMIRABLE AND POWERHOUSE TRAITS ACCORDING TO THIS WALL STREET JOURNAL CHART.

FIRST-DOWN MARGIN Most coaches talk about the importance of turnover margin as the key statistic in determining the outcome of a game. Under Head Coach Dabo Swinney, Clemson is 35-4 when it wins the turnover margin and 10-15 when it loses the turnover margin.

There are other statistics that are even bigger indicators in the Swinney era. Clemson is 47-4 under Swinney when it has more first downs than the opposition, including 37-0 the last four years. The streak is actually 38 straight wins when the Tigers have more first downs dating to the 2010 Florida State game, when Clemson had a 25-16 advantage in that area, but lost the game 16-13.

Total offense is also a big indicator. Clemson is 53-5 under Swinney when winning the total offense statistic.

DEFENSE AMONG NATION’S BEST VERSUS

Clemson’s defense is among the best in the nation and among the best in school history. The Tigers lead the nation in seven categories. The list includes total defense (259.6), yards per play allowed (4.1), tackles for loss per game (10.2), tackles for loss yardage (528) and sack yardage (348). Clemson is in the top 10 in the nation in 19 categories.

(259.6) and pass efficiency defense (97.7). The Tigers are third in the ACC in rushing defense, trailing Louisville and Boston College.

No Tiger team has ever achieved the ACC defensive “grand slam” (leading in all four major defense categories in the same year).

According to the ACC media guide, an ACC team has led the league in scoring, total, rushing and passing defense nine times. Florida State has done it five times (1993, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2012). North Carolina accomplished the feat in 1977 and Maryland in 1976.

South Carolina was the first school to lead in all four categories, achieving the feat in 1957.

on October 25. It was the second time this year Clemson held the opposition under 100 rushing yards and 100 passing yards. It was the first time Clemson accomplished the feat in since 2009, when the Tigers also did it twice, wins over Wake Forest and Boston College.

Overall, Clemson has accomplished the feat five times under Head Coach Dabo Swinney. The other occasion was in 2008, when Swinney was interim coach in a win over Duke.

Clemson has held an opponent under 100 rushing yards and 100 passing yards 25 times since 1977, and the Tigers have won all 25.

DEFENSE STRONG AT FLORIDA STATE

The following is a list of the 30 former Tigers who have been on NFL rosters in 2014.

Clemson held No. 1 Florida State to just 13 rushing yards, as the Tigers registered five sacks and 10 tackles for loss. The 13 rushing yards were the fewest allowed by a Tiger defense in a loss in history. In fact, entering overtime, the Seminoles had -12 rushing yards.

The negative plays set Florida State backwards 62 yards during the course of the game. Florida State averaged just 0.5 yards per carry. Overall, Clemson held Florida State to 4.8 yards per play and allowed just 4-15 third-down conversions.

TWO SHUTOUTS

The 2014 Tiger defense is rapidly getting the reputation that it is among the best in school history. Two defenses that come into the conversation are the 1981 National Championship defense that was second in the nation in scoring defense and seventh in total defense.

It also forced a school-record 41 turnovers.

The other defense that is mentioned is the 1990 squad that had eight players go on to start in the NFL. That team was No. 1 in the nation in total defense and No. 2 in both scoring defense and rushing defense.

Clemson recorded its second shutout of the season in the 28-0 win over Georgia State on November 22. Earlier in the year, Clemson shut out NC State 41-0. It is the first time Clemson has shut out two teams in the same year since 1998. That was an odd year in that Clemson had two shutouts on defense and two on offense.

This is the first time Clemson has registered two shutouts in the same year over FBS teams since 1990, when Clemson had shutouts against Long Beach State in the opener and Illinois in the bowl game.

The shutout against NC State was the Tigers’ first against an ACC team that finished the year with a winning record since a 17-0 win over Maryland in 1995.

48 DIFFERENT STARTERS It is amazing that Clemson has led the nation in total defense this year, because the Tigers have had to deal with lineup changes. Only three players (Stephone Anthony, Vic Beasley, Grady Jarrett) have started all 12 games on defense, and that will dwindle to two in the bowl game because Anthony must sit out the first half due to a targeting call against South Carolina in the regular-season finale.

A total of 48 different players have started at least one game at the 24 positions (placekicker and punter included) in 2014. That is the most different starters over the course of the season by four. Dating to the 1986 season, the second-most in a season is 44. The fewest different starters since 1986 is 31.

BOWL EXPERIENCE Clemson has 47 players on its active roster who have played in at least one bowl game. That includes 22 players who played in one bowl, eight players in two bowls and 17 players in three bowls.

The Tigers have 16 players who have started at least one bowl game. There are three players, Corey Crawford, Grady Jarrett and Josh Watson, who have started two bowls. No active player has started three bowls.

Scott, who turned 34 on December 28, is a 2003 Clemson graduate who was a wideout and holder on the Tiger bowl teams of 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002.

Scott came to Clemson as a graduate assistant at the start of the 2008 season. When Swinney was named interim head coach in October of that season, Scott became a full-time assistant coach.

Beginning with the 2009 season, Scott also took on the role of recruiting coordinator. Clemson had a top-20 recruiting class by ESPN each year he was in charge of that aspect of the program.

VERSUS

In 1943, Jim Whitmire was the top rusher (376) and Eddis Freeman was the top receiver (8). Clemson had nothing but freshmen and sophomores on the team that year, as the U.S. Armed Services had drafted virtually all of the squad’s upperclassmen.

In 1990, Ronald Williams was a first-year freshman who had a team-high 941 rushing yards. He was named ACC Rookie-of-the-Year and is the father of current Tiger defensive tackle DeShawn Williams. Terry Smith, a redshirt freshman, was Clemson’s leading receiver with 34 catches for 480 yards. His yardage total was also a team high that year.

BOWL NOTES VIC BEASLEY WAS A FINALIST FOR THE BEDNARIK AWARD, HENDRICKS AWARD AND LOMBARDI AWARD IN 2014.

WATSON & WILLIAMS HONORED BY ACC Clemson’s passing combination of Deshaun Watson and Mike Williams were both honored with ACC Player-ofthe-Week selections on October 6 for their performances against NC State two days prior. For the second straight week, Watson was named ACC Offensive Back-of-theWeek and ACC Rookie-of-the-Week, while Williams was named ACC Receiver-of-the-Week.

Watson completed 17-29 passes for 267 yards and two scores, while he added 62 yards and two touchdowns on 15 carries, giving him 329 total yards in the 41-0 win over NC State.

In victories against North Carolina and NC State, Watson completed 44-65 passes for 702 yards and eight touchdowns. That is a school record for passing yards in a quarterback’s first two career starts.

Watson became the first Tiger quarterback named ACC Offensive Back and Rookie-of-the-Week twice in the same season, nevermind in consecutive weeks. He was ACC Rookie-of-the-Week three times, just the sixth Tiger freshman to be honored 3+ times in one year.

Williams had six receptions for 155 yards and two touchdowns, all from Watson, in the NC State game that was played on his 20th birthday. It was a career high in receiving yards for the sophomore. It was the second straight game he had two receiving touchdowns.

ANTHONY A BUTKUS AWARD SEMIFINALIST Linebacker Stephone Anthony was one of 15 semifinalists for the 2014 Butkus Award. The honor goes to the top linebacker in the country. Anthony and Denzel Perryman (Miami (Fla.)) were the only ACC players among the semifinalists.

The native of North Carolina has 87 tackles for the season, including 9.5 tackles for loss. Anthony has 33.5 career tackles for loss, 19th-most among active FBS players. He has 328 career tackles, most among active Tigers.

ANTHONY BETTER THAN HIS STATS The website BleacherReport.com displayed a list of the top-10 players in the nation who are better than their statistics indicate. One of the players listed was linebacker Stephone Anthony.

Anthony has a team-high 87 tackles on 59 first hits and 28 assists. He has added 9.5 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks and 10 quarterback pressures. Clemson’s defense has been so balanced that Anthony has not had the opportunities that a lot of defensive players have across the country.

BARNES SCORES DEFENSIVE TD Defensive end Tavaris Barnes scored a touchdown on a recovered fumble in the win over Louisville. It marked the second straight game Clemson had a defensive touchdown, as Vic Beasley returned a fumble after a sack for a score in the win over NC State.

Five different current Tiger defenders have scored touchdowns in their careers. Beasley has two, while Corey Crawford, Tavaris Barnes, Martin Jenkins and Jadar Johnson all have one apiece.

Barnes scored on a recovered fumble and Adam Humphries scored on a punt return in the win over Louisville. It was the first time Clemson scored touchdowns

on a punt return and recovered fumble or return since the 2006 Florida Atlantic game.

BEASLEY A FINALIST FOR THREE AWARDS Defensive end Vic Beasley was a finalist for three different national awards in 2014. The graduate was one of six finalists for the Hendricks Award, which goes to the top defensive end in the nation, one of four finalists for the Lombardi Award, which goes to the top lineman, and one of three finalists for the Bednarik Award, which goes to the top defensive player.

This is the fourth time in the last five years Clemson has had a finalist for the Hendricks Award. Da’Quan Bowers won the honor in 2010. Andre Branch was a finalist in 2011, while Beasley was a finalist in 2013 and 2014.

Beasley became the first Tiger since Da’Quan Bowers in 2010 to be a finalist for the Bednarik Award and Lombardi Award.

The Adairsville, Ga. native leads the ACC in tackles for loss (18.5) and sacks (11). He was named ACC Defensive Lineman-of-the-Week against South Carolina when he had three tackles for loss and two sacks in Clemson’s 35-17 victory.

Beasley is a major reason Clemson leads the nation in total defense and tackles for loss, and is in the top 10 in rushing defense, passing defense and scoring defense.

He holds the Tiger record and leads all active FBS players with 32 career sacks.

Beasley’s 49.5 career tackles for loss have accounted for 292 negative yards, 62 more than any other active FBS player.

Beasley is a first-team All-American and was named ACC Defensive Player-of-the-Year by the media and coaches.

BEASLEY SETS CAREER SACK RECORD Vic Beasley became Clemson’s career leader in sacks when he had one in the win over Louisville on October 11.

It gave him eight for the season and 29 for his career.

Beasley went ahead of all-time greats Michael Dean Perry and the late Gaines Adams in setting the record.

Perry and Adams both had 28 in their respective careers.

Perry was on the sidelines for the game.

It marked the eighth consecutive game Beasley had a sack, one shy of the school record.

Beasley has had a remarkable run to the record when you consider he has started just 24 games in his career.

All 32 of his sacks have come in his last 38 games. It is amazing to think that in 2010, he was the scout-team quarterback as the Tigers prepared to play Georgia Tech.

DYE’S 124-YARD GAME Running back Tyshon Dye added to the list of outstanding performances by freshman offensive players when he had 124 yards and two touchdowns on 20 carries in the win over Georgia State. Dye had six carries for 8+ yards in the game.

It was just the second game of Dye’s career, as he missed all of 2013 with a back injury and then suffered an Achilles injury in February. He did not get into a game in 2014 until the Wake Forest game on November 6.

Dye is the first Tiger to register a 100-yard rushing game within his first two games since 2005, when James Davis had 101 rushing yards against Texas A&M in his first career game.

GALLMAN FINISHING STRONG Running back Wayne Gallman is finishing strong this season. The redshirt freshman from Loganville, Ga. has 714 rushing yards to lead the team by 469 yards. He did not have much of a lead five weeks before the end of the regular season, but in the last five games, he rushed 94 times for 516 yards, an average of 105.3 yards per game.

BOWL NOTES

His recent performance includes three 100-yard games, including a career-high 191 yards and a touchdown on 27 carries in the win over South Carolina. That was the most rushing yards by a Tiger freshman since 1952, when Don King had 234 rushing yards at Fordham.

Gallman has also contributed as a receiver out of the backfield, as he has 24 receptions for 108 yards and a touchdown. That gives him 822 yards from scrimmage.

HUMPHRIES’ 100 PUNT RETURN YARDS Adam Humphries had eight punt returns for 107 yards in Clemson’s win over Louisville. It was the first 100-yard punt return game by a Tiger since C.J. Spiller had 119 yards on three punt returns against Boston College in 2009. Humphries was named ACC Specialist Player-ofthe-Week for his performance.

Humphries’s day included a 72-yard punt return for a touchdown, the first Tiger to return a punt for a score since Spiller went 77 yards for a score in the aforementioned game against Boston College.

Humphries’ performance was the fifth-best punt return game in Clemson history in terms of yardage.

KEARSE SAVES THE DAY Jayron Kearse had a career-high-tying 10 tackles in the win over Louisville, but none was bigger than his last tackle of the game. With under a minute left and Clemson ahead by six points, Will Gardner completed a pass to James Quick, who broke a tackle and raced 73 yards down the field before he was tackled by Kearse at the eight. Kearse’s hustle prevented Louisville from potentially taking the lead.

Louisville got to the one after the next play but could not score on a fourth-down pass that was deflected by DeShawn Williams.

Kearse has made a habit of making big plays the last two years. The 6’4” safety has 60 tackles, fifth-most on the team. He also has seven pass breakups and two interceptions. In 2013 as a freshman, the Florida native tied for the team lead in interceptions (4).

LAKIP HAS GAME TO REMEMBER Ammon Lakip was named a Groza Award Star-of-theWeek for his performance against Syracuse on October 25.

Lakip was 3-3 on field goals in helping the Tigers to a 16-6 win. He made field goals from 38, 18 and 41 yards to give Clemson a 9-6 lead entering the fourth quarter.

The junior has made 19-25 field goals.

Lakip has scored 96 points on the 19 field goals in 25 attempts this season and is 39-39 on extra points.

He is in the top 20 in the nation in field goals made. He is also Clemson’s leading scorer by a large margin.

Lakip was also named one of 20 semifinalists for the Lou Groza Award. He made 13 consecutive field goals until he missed a 39-yarder against Georgia State on November 22.

PINION BREAKS OWN RECORD Bradley Pinion had three punts inside the 20 in the win over Georgia State on November 22 and has a school-record 26 for the season. He broke the record in that Georgia State game, one more than he had in 2013 and the total (24) Kevin Laird had in 1996.

In Pinion’s first 102 punts as a Tiger, he had 42 punts inside the 20 and no touchbacks. The streak was broken at Boston College on October 25. He has two touchbacks in his career.

Pinion has 70 punts for a 42.5-yard average and 16 punts of 50+ yards. He has a net-punting figure of 40.0 yards.

Pinion has also been outstanding in terms of touchbacks on kickoffs. He has 30 touchbacks on 66 kickoffs.

Attending college on the GI Bill, Rodriguez was offered a spot on the 2012 Tiger team as a walk-on after Head Coach Dabo Swinney saw a video about the former U.S. Army Sergeant and recipient of the Purple Heart and Bronze Star Medal with Valor Device for his heroism in Afghanistan.

SCOTT AMONG ACC’S BEST FRESHMEN Freshman Artavis Scott has 68 receptions for 851 yards and a team-high seven touchdowns. He leads ACC freshmen in all three categories and is third in the nation among freshmen in receptions per game.

His reception total is third-highest in ACC history among freshmen, and his yardage total is fourth-best.

He needs just three receiving yards against Oklahoma to move into third place ahead of former NC State player Koren Robinson.

One of the players ahead of Scott in both areas is former Tiger Sammy Watkins, who had 82 catches for 1,219 yards and 11 touchdowns as a freshman in 2011.

STOUDT WINS LEATHER HELMET AWARD Cole Stoudt proudly donned the Leather Helmet Award in the locker room at Alumni Stadium in Chestnut Hill after Clemson’s 17-13 victory at Boston College on October 18. The Leather Helmet Award goes to the MVP based on a vote of the media covering the Clemson vs.

Boston College game each year.

Stoudt had a career-high 29 completions in 45 attempts for 285 yards in the victory in a game that was dominated by defense most of the day. Stoudt also had 23 rushing yards, giving him 308 total yards against a team that was ninth in the nation in total defense entering the game.

While he did not throw a touchdown pass, the senior quarterback connected on many timely aerials, none more important than his 32-yard strike down the sideline to Mike Williams on a third-down play in the fourth quarter after Boston College had taken a 13-10 lead. It kept the drive alive, as the Tigers went on to score a touchdown to take a 17-13 lead.

Stoudt became just the second quarterback to win the Leather Helmet Award, joining Tajh Boyd, who took the honor in Clemson’s win in Chestnut Hill in 2012.

Brandon Streeter was named quarterback coach and recruiting coordinator, Head Coach Dabo Swinney announced on December 10. Streeter, who played quarterback at Clemson from 1996-99, served as the offensive coordinator and quarterback coach at Richmond the last three years.

Streeter guided Richmond to a top-20 ranking in passing offense each of the last three years and was a major reason Richmond reached the second round of the FCS playoffs in 2014. Streeter also served as quarterback coach at Liberty for six years and was the offensive coordinator for the last three.

Streeter came to Liberty after serving as a graduate assistant coach at Clemson for two seasons (2004,05)

when Swinney was an assistant coach. Streeter worked with quarterback Charlie Whitehurst during those two seasons.

Streeter was a three-time letterwinner at Clemson from 1997-99. He was Clemson’s starting quarterback in 1998 and 1999. He played in just eight games due to injury as a senior in 1999, helping Tommy Bowden’s first Clemson team to a Peach Bowl bid. He passed for 1,466 yards that season.

A three-time member of the ACC Academic Honor Roll, Streeter became Clemson’s inaugural winner of the Brandon Streeter Award in 1999, which is annually given in his honor to a student-athlete in any sport who has succeeded athletically despite a physical injury.

SWINNEY A DODD FINALIST Head Coach Dabo Swinney was one of 12 finalists for the 2014 Bobby Dodd National Coach-of-the-Year Award.

loses as compared to his salary and the total resources he has.”

The data was considered for the previous two years (2012,13). Swinney and the Tigers were 22-4 overall and 14-2 in the ACC during that time. The Tigers have finished in the top 10 in the nation in the coaches poll each of the last two years and have recorded three wins over top-10 teams, including wins over Louisiana State and Ohio State to conclude each of the last two seasons.

Brian Kelly (Notre Dame) was first, followed by Jimbo Fisher (Florida State) and Nick Saban (Alabama).

BOWL NOTES

ICE BUCKET CHALLENGE SPECIAL TO SWINNEY The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge was special to Head Coach Dabo Swinney. One of Swinney’s former Alabama teammates, Kevin Turner, is suffering from the disease.

Swinney told the story in a video prior to the Clemson seniors and coaching staff dumping ice water on themselves after a preseason practice as part of the fundraising initiative that went viral on the internet.

Turner and Swinney were more than just Alabama teammates. They worked side-by-side for AIG Baker in Birmingham, Ala. in 2001 and 2002. Those were the two seasons Swinney was out of coaching before he came to Clemson in 2003.

Turner actually came to Clemson as a volunteer assistant coach in December 2008 in preparation for the Gator Bowl against Nebraska. Swinney was short on staff at the time and enlisted Turner’s help. Shortly after that in 2010, Turner was diagnosed with ALS. He played eight years in the NFL with Patriots and Eagles.

Recently, the Kevin Turner Foundation was established. Swinney is an avid supporter of that foundation.

VENABLES’ OKLAHOMA TIES

20

IN JUST HIS THIRD SEASON AT CLEMSON AFTER COACHING AT OKLAHOMA, DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR BRENT VENABLES HAS THE TIGERS NO. 1 IN THE NATION IN TOTAL DEFENSE IN 2014.

Defensive Coordinator Brent Venables coached at Oklahoma for 13 years (1999-11). In those 13 years, the Sooners had 13 winning seasons, went to 13 bowl games and had 10 seasons with 10+ wins. Oklahoma went to what would be consider nine major bowls, including the BCS Championship Game in 2000, which Oklahoma won. Oklahoma had a 129-34 record (.791) during the 13 years Venables was in Norman.

Oklahoma had six seasons with 12+ wins over his 13 years. He was a Broyles Award finalist in 2006. Oklahoma led the nation in total defense in 2003, and he has the Tigers in that position in 2014. Venables was Oklahoma’s co-defensive coordinator from 1999-03 and assistant head coach and defensive coordinator from 2004-11.

Since Venables came to Clemson in 2012, the Tigers are 31-7 with three consecutive bowl bids, including the Chick-fil-A Bowl in 2012 and the Orange Bowl in 2013.

The victory over Ohio State in last season’s Orange Bowl gave Clemson consecutive top-10 finishes in the coaches poll.

Watson finished his season with 93 completions in 137 attempts for 1,466 yards and 14 touchdowns. He threw just two interceptions and had a 67.9 completion percentage. He also rushed for 200 yards and five touchdowns.

Watson’s passing efficiency of 188.6 would be first in the nation, just ahead of Heisman Trophy winner Marcus Mariota (Oregon), had he played in one other game to meet the NCAA minimum.

Watson also averaged 10.7 yards per pass attempt, best in the nation among quarterbacks with 125+ attempts. Clemson had a 4-1 record with Watson as the starting quarterback. His top game was his first career start when he completed 27-36 passes for 435 yards and a school-record six touchdowns against North Carolina.

WATSON TO MISS BOWL GAME

WATSON EFFICIENT

Deshaun Watson had surgery to repair a torn ACL on December 12 and will not play in the Russell Athletic Bowl.

Watson originally suffered an injury to his PCL in the Georgia Tech game on November 15. He then tore the ACL four days later while doing drills during a practice.

The freshman came back for the South Carolina game on November 29 and wore a knee brace to protect the ACL. He passed for 269 yards and two touchdowns and also ran for two scores in leading Clemson to a 35-17 victory.

“Deshaun Watson will not play in the Russell Athletic Bowl,” said Head Coach Dabo Swinney. “We made the decision to go ahead with surgery at this time after conversations with Deshaun, his family, doctors and athletic trainers. While we were all hopeful he could play without missing any further time preparing for the 2015 season, the three-week delay would have set us back, so we will proceed now that his academic obligations are complete.”

Deshaun Watson has a passing efficiency of 188.6, a figure that leads the nation among players with 125+ passing attempts.

Watson does not show up in the official NCAA stats because he has played in only eight of the 12 games, one short of what is necessary to qualify. He would have enough passing attempts to qualify if he just played one snap in another game.

Watson’s passing efficiency is higher than Heisman Trophy winner Marcus Mariota (Oregon), who has a 186.3 figure. Watson’s 188.6 mark would also be a Clemson record and an ACC record.

WATSON GETS THE START Deshaun Watson had a superb first career start in the win over North Carolina. He completed 27-36 passes for 435 yards and a school-record six touchdowns. He became Clemson’s first first-year freshman to start at quarterback since 1994.

Watson is 4-1 as a starter, with wins over North Carolina, NC State, Louisville and South Carolina.

Clemson first-year freshman quarterbacks are 3-0 alltime against North Carolina and 5-13 against everyone else.

WATSON’S RECORD-SETTING GAME Deshaun Watson established or tied 12 Clemson or ACC records in the win over North Carolina at Memorial Stadium on September 27. The most prominent was setting the Clemson mark and tying the ACC mark for passing touchdowns (6). He threw them to four different players.

Watson became the fifth ACC player regardless of class with six passing touchdowns. The others are Tom Savage of Pittsburgh vs. Duke in 2014, Dan Ellis of Virginia vs. Buffalo in 1999, Chris Weinke of Florida State vs. Maryland in 1999 and Steve Slayden of Duke vs. Georgia Tech in 1987.

It was also the most passing touchdowns in a game by an ACC freshman in history. The previous record was five passing touchdowns by Jameis Winston of Florida State vs. Maryland in 2013, Chris Rix of Florida State vs. Maryland in 2001 and Philip Rivers of NC State vs.

Indiana in 2000.

Watson established the ACC freshman record for total offense (463). He broke the previous record of 447 total yards by Ben Bennett of Duke against Wake Forest in 1980.

In terms of passing yards, Watson’s 435 yards were second-most in Clemson history.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MIKE WILLIAMS

IN 2014, MIKE WILLIAMS HAS 918 RECEIVING YARDS, NINTH-MOST IN A SEASON IN CLEMSON HISTORY.

WILLIAMS CHASING 1,000-YARD SEASON Sophomore Mike Williams has 918 receiving yards and needs 82 to reach the 1,000-yard mark. He can become the sixth Tiger to reach 1,000 receiving yards

in a season. Sammy Watkins and Rod Gardner each did it twice. DeAndre Hopkins had 1,405 receiving yards in 2012 and missed the 1,000-yard mark by just 22 yards in 2011.

Mike Williams celebrated his 20th birthday in grand style on October 4 in Clemson’s 41-0 win over NC State.

Williams had six receptions for a career-high 155 yards and two touchdowns. It was his second straight game with six receptions for 122+ yards and two touchdowns.

It is regarded as one of the top birthday performances in school history. Rodney Williams (no relation) was 1318 passing for 193 yards and two touchdowns on Nov. 1, 1986, his birthday and perhaps the best birthday performance on record.

Mike Williams had six receptions for 122 yards and two touchdowns in the win over North Carolina the previous week, giving him 12 catches for 277 yards and four touchdowns over the two-game span.

So how many times did Hopkins and Watkins have back-to-back games of 6+ catches, 120 yards and two touchdowns? The answer is one by Watkins. As a freshman, Watkins had 10 receptions for 155 yards and two touchdowns in a win over Auburn, then had seven catches for 141 yards and two touchdowns the following week in a win over Florida State. Hopkins never did it.

Even though Hopkins had 27 career receiving touchdowns, including a record 18 in 2012, he never had back-to-back games with multiple receiving touchdowns.

Watkins did it twice.

Head Coach

DABO SWINNEY

VERSUS

T

here is a strong coaching heritage over the 118 years of Clemson football that dates to the early 1900s, when John Heisman led the program.

Jess Neely and Frank Howard continued the winning and joined Heisman in the College Football Hall of Fame. Danny Ford, a finalist for the Hall of Fame last year, led Clemson to the 1981 National Championship.

Dabo Swinney has been at Clemson for just 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 and 2013 seasons were especially noteworthy, with two top-10 final rankings in the USA Today poll, a first for the program since the 1987,88 seasons. Each team won 11 games, the first time the program won 11 games in consecutive seasons.

From 2011-14, Clemson has a 41-11 record, the most wins in a four-year period in school history. Twenty-seven of the victories have taken place against ACC teams, including a 38-10 triumph over No. 3 Virginia Tech that gave the Tigers the 2011 ACC title.

Eight of the 41 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 and 2013, 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 60-26 overall record (.698) and a 39-14 ACC regular-season 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 and has been named national coach-of-the-year.

In 2014, Clemson has overcome a slew of seasonending injuries and a difficult road schedule to register a 9-3 overall record and 6-2 mark in ACC regular-season games. Evidence of the mass injuries are shown by the fact that 48 different Tigers have started at least one game among the 24 regular positions.

The Tigers are ranked No. 18 in the AP poll, No. 18 in the coaches poll and finished No. 17 in the College Football Playoff ranking in 2014.

A final top-25 ranking would mark the fourth straight year Clemson finishes ranked in the polls under Swinney, who is a finalist for the 2014 Bobby Dodd National Coach-of-theTHE SWINNEY FAMILY - DABO AND WIFE, KATHLEEN, ALONG Year Award.

HEAD COACH DABO SWINNEY

Florida State within Clemson’s first three games of the season saw the Tigers in contention in the fourth quarter in both, including an overtime loss to the Seminoles.

But Clemson rebounded and won its next six games, all against ACC foes.

Defense has been the key to success for the 2014 Tigers, as it is first in the nation in total defense and tackles for loss along with being in the top 10 in many defensive categories.

Defensie end Vic Beasley was named ACC Defensive Player-of-the-Year as well as being a finalist for multiple national award and a first-team All-American thanks to his 18.5 tackles for loss and 11 sacks. He also leads all active players in the nation in career tackles for loss (49.5) and career sacks (32).

Clemson’s young 2014 offense was set back with the injury of first-year freshman quarterback Deshaun Watson, who suffered two injuries that forced him to effectively miss more than half the season. He still has 14 passing touchdowns against only two interceptions and a 188.6 passing efficiency, one of the best figures in the country.

The Tigers’ top pass catcher (Artavis Scott) and rusher (Wayne Gallman) are also freshmen. Scott has 68 receptions for 851 yards and seven touchdowns, while Gallman has 714 rushing yards and four touchdowns.

Clemson recorded double-digit wins for the third year in a row in 2013, as the Tigers capped off the season with a 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. 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.

For the fourth time in his first five full seasons as head coach, Swinney was a finalist for the Liberty Mutual National Coach-of-the-Year Award in 2013. Swinney was also one of 16 semifinalists for national coachof-the-year by the Maxwell Football Club Collegiate Coach-of-the-Year Award for the second year in a row.

The Clemson offense continued to put up record-setting numbers in 2013, as it averaged 40.2 points and 507.7 yards per game. The Tiger defense also finished in the top 25 in the nation in scoring defense, total defense and turnovers forced. Clemson joined Florida State as the only schools in the nation to finish in the top 25 in the nation in scoring offense, scoring defense, total offense and total defense.

Tajh Boyd broke almost every Clemson career record for quarterbacks thanks in part to 2013, when he completed 68.5 percent of his passes for 3,851 yards and 34 touchdowns. He also added a team-high 10 rushing touchdowns. Boyd’s 107 career passing touchdowns and 133 total touchdowns were ACC records as well.

Sammy Watkins was a finalist for the Biletnikoff Award and a first-team All-American, as he had 101 receptions for 1,464 yards and 12 touchdowns. He established Tiger career records for receptions, receiving yards and tied the receiving touchdowns mark as well.

Along with Boyd’s selection as a Second-Team AllACC pick, offensive tackle Brandon Thomas, offensive guard Tyler Shatley, running back Roderick McDowell and placekicker Chandler Catanzaro were also named to the All-ACC squad on offense.

Beasley, who led the ACC in sacks (13) and added 23 tackles for loss, was a Consensus All-America selection. Defensive back Bashaud Breeland along with linebackers Stephone Anthony and Spencer Shuey also earned All-ACC honors on defense.

The 2012 season (11-2) was a groundbreaking year for Swinney’s Tigers when looking at the overall consistency of the program.

The seven conference wins in the regular season set a school record. Clemson was co-champion of the ACC Atlantic Division and has won or shared the division crown three of the last six years. The school record for consecutive wins at Memorial Stadium (13) was also established, as was the record for consecutive wins by 14+ points (7).

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.

Leading the way was Boyd, the ACC Player-of-theYear. The quarterback joined center Dalton Freeman as first-team All-Americans according to AFCA, just the third time since 1945 that the AFCA first-team AllAmerica quarterback and center were from the same school.

Boyd’s favorite wide receiver, DeAndre Hopkins, had 18 receiving touchdowns, second-most in the nation, and was a second-team All-American. He was a big reason Clemson scored a school-record 533 points.

Swinney was a finalist for the 2012 Liberty Mutual National Coach-of-the-Year Award for the third time. He was also one of 16 semifinalists for national coach-ofthe-year by the Maxwell Football Club Collegiate Coachof-the-Year Award.

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 highest-ranked team the Tigers de-

feated 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. Swinney has 10 top-25 wins in his head-coaching career, including six victories over top-10 teams.

The Tigers jumped out to an 8-0 record and a No. 6 national ranking after being unranked in the preseason.

Games 3-5 marked a tough stretch, as Clemson hosted No. 19 Auburn, who entered with a national-best 17game winning streak, and No. 11 Florida State along with a road game at No. 10 Virginia Tech. The Tigers were victorious in all three contests by scores of 38-24, 35-30 and 23-3, respectively, marking the first time in history that an ACC team won three consecutive games over top-25 ranked (AP) teams. Clemson also held Virginia Tech without a touchdown for the first time in a game at Blacksburg since 1995.

For his efforts, Swinney was named Bobby Dodd National Coach-of-the-Year in 2011 to become the first Tiger head coach to win a national coach-of-the-year award since 1981, when Danny Ford directed Clemson to the national title.

Swinney, who was also one of five finalists for the Eddie Robinson National Coach-of-the-Year Award, one of 10 finalists for the Bear Bryant National Coach-ofthe-Year Award, one of 10 finalists for the Liberty Mutual Coach-of-the-Year Award and received the Regional AFCA Coach-of-the-Year Award in 2011, led the Tigers to their first Orange Bowl berth since 1981 with the help of five First-Team All-ACC players.

Dwayne Allen (TE), Boyd (QB), Andre Branch (DE), Freeman (C) and Watkins (WR) all earned first-team honors, while Andre Ellington (RB), Catanzaro (PK) and Brandon Thompson (DT) earned second-team honors.

Watkins was also Second-Team All-ACC as a specialist.

Allen received the John Mackey Award as the nation’s top tight end and totaled 50 receptions for 598 yards and eight touchdowns. Boyd set the school record for total yards (4,046), passing yards (3,828) and passing touchdowns (33), all marks he eclipsed in subsequent seasons. Branch, a finalist for the Hendricks Award, had an ACC-high 17 tackles for loss and an ACC-high 10.5 sacks, including tying school-records for tackles for loss (6) and sacks (4) in Clemson’s win at No. 10 Virginia Tech. Freeman was a finalist for the Rimington Trophy as well.

Watkins was one of the most dynamic freshmen in the nation. The ACC Rookie-of-the-Year totaled 82 receptions for 1,219 yards and 12 touchdowns along

with a 25.0-yard average and one touchdown on kickoff returns despite missing one game due to injury. Watkins teamed up with Ellington to give Clemson a 1,000-yard receiver and 1,000-yard rusher, as Ellington had 1,178 rushing yards and 11 rushing touchdowns. Watkins was also an AP First-Team All-American, just the fourth in college football history as a first-year freshman.

Swinney became just the second Tiger coach to lead Clemson’s program into a bowl game in his first two full years as head coach, joining his predecessor, Bowden.

The 2010 schedule was one of the most challenging in school history, as nine bowl teams were on the regularseason slate and two of the four non-conference opponents were ranked in the top 25 when they played the Tigers, just the second time in 21 years the Tigers faced two top-25 non-conference opponents in the regular season.

The 2010 season included wins over bowl teams Georgia Tech, Maryland and NC State. NC State was ranked No. 23 in the nation and was leading the ACC in scoring. But the defense held NC State and Russell Wilson to just one touchdown and 13 points. The team excelled defensively in 2010 and was 13th in the nation in scoring defense and in the top 25 in both total defense and passing defense.

C.J. Spiller was a unanimous first-team All-American in 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 was also a finalist for the Bednarik Award and Lombardi Award. He led the nation in sacks (15.5) and tied for the national lead in tackles for loss (26).

Bowers was one of four First-Team All-ACC players in 2010, as he joined Jarvis Jenkins (DT) and DeAndre McDaniel (S) on defense and Chris Hairston (OT) on offense. Clemson and Maryland tied for the most FirstTeam All-ACC selections.

In 2009, Swinney’s first full year as head coach, he led the Tigers to their first championship of the ACC’s Atlantic Division. The Tigers came just six points short of winning their first ACC title in 18 years. Swinney was named ACC Coach-of-the-Year by Sporting News and was a finalist for the Liberty Mutual Coach-of-the-Year Award.

Swinney accumulated nine wins, second-most among FBS coaches in their first full year behind Or-

The Liberty Mutual Coach-of-the-Year Award evaluates coaching performances in terms of coaching excellence, sportsmanship, integrity, academic excellence and community commitment. It is easy to see why Swinney was a national finalist for that award in his first full season as head coach in 2009, and again in 2011, 2012 and 2013.

The 1993 Alabama graduate joined the Clemson staff prior to the 2003 season. In his first 11 years as an assistant or head coach, the Tigers finished in the top 25 of the polls seven times and have totaled 19 wins over top-25 teams, including victories over Florida State (5), Auburn (2), Miami (Fla.) (2), Virginia Tech (2), Georgia (1), Louisiana State (1), Ohio State (1) and Tennessee (1), during his tenure in Tigertown. That includes 10 top-25 wins as a head coach.

Swinney coached his wide receiver position to a level of consistency that had not been seen previously at Clemson. He had a wideout finish first or second in the ACC in catches in five of his six years as an assistant coach. In his first year, he had three of the top-10 receivers in the ACC, a first in Tiger history. He has coached a First or Second-Team All-ACC wideout (Derrick Hamilton, Airese Currie, Chansi Stuckey, Aaron Kelly, Jacoby Ford, Watkins, Hopkins, Scott, Mike Williams) in 11 of his 12 seasons in Tigertown, also an unprecedented feat at Clemson.

MISCELLANEOUS RECORDS UNDER SWINNEY

egon’s Chip Kelly. The nine wins tied for fourth-most in ACC history for a first-year head coach. He also led the Tigers to their first bowl win since 2005 in the 21-13 victory over Kentucky in the Music City Bowl.

The Tigers reached the nine-win mark playing a schedule that included four games against top-15 opponents, just the second year in school history (1999 was the other) that Clemson played four games against teams ranked in the top 15 of the AP poll. The Tigers’ three FBS non-conference opponents had a combined record of 29-10 in 2009. Clemson gave Rose Bowlbound TCU one of its stiffest tests in a 14-10 Horned Frog victory on Sept. 26.

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.

That was the second of six straight wins, the longest winning streak for the Clemson program in four years.

The streak also included a 40-24 win over Florida State and Bobby Bowden, the Hall of Fame coach who is first in victories in FBS history. The winning streak brought Clemson to a No. 15 national ranking in the AP poll after the ACC Atlantic Division clinching victory over Virginia on Nov. 21.

The Tigers had success on offense, defense and special teams during the 2009 season. They were 28th in the nation and third in the ACC in scoring offense (31.1), while the defense was 20th in total defense (314.3) and seventh in pass defense (162.8). Clemson tied for fifth in the country in interceptions (21) as well.

Clemson added a school-record six kick returns for touchdowns in 2009, four on kickoff returns and two on punt returns.

The main reason Clemson was so outstanding on special teams was the play of college football’s most dynamic player (Spiller) in 2009. The Tiger running back was named MVP of the ACC in 2009 and was a Consensus All-American. He had five kick returns for touchdowns during the 2009 season, an all-time Clemson record, and established the NCAA record for kickoff returns for touchdowns in a career with seven. He was also the only FBS player to score at least one touchdown in every game in 2009.

HEAD COACH DABO SWINNEY

In 2004 and 2005, he coached the ACC reception champion (Currie (2004), Stuckey (2005)). It was the first time Clemson had two different players lead the ACC in receptions in consecutive years. In 2007, Kelly led the ACC in yards, giving Swinney an ACC receiving king three out of four years. Stuckey earned First-Team All-ACC honors in back-to-back years, a first for a Tiger wide receiver in 25 years.

The play of Swinney’s wide receivers was a big reason Clemson led the ACC in total offense, rushing offense and scoring offense during the 2006 season, just the second time an ACC team led the conference in all three categories during the previous 25 seasons. The Tigers also led the league and set school records for yards per play (6.5) and touchdowns (55).

In 2007, Swinney coached Kelly, a First-Team AllACC selection who led the league in receiving yards per game and touchdown catches (11). He also finished second in receptions per game with 88 catches.

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.

When Swinney accepted the interim head coaching position on Oct. 13, 2008, he described his feelings as “bittersweet,” because he was taking over for Bowden, who had been his first position coach at Alabama in 1989. He had also brought Swinney back to the coaching profession in 2003 and has had a profound effect on his life. Both had followed similar paths as players, as Bowden was a walk-on at West Virginia and Swinney was a walk-on at Alabama.

Swinney received a commerce & business administration degree from Alabama in 1993 after lettering three times (1990-92). A walk-on who went on to earn a scholarship, Swinney was a wide receiver on Alabama’s 1992 National Championship team. He was

also named Academic All-SEC along with being an SEC Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll member in 1990 and 1992.

Along with his appearance in the 1993 Sugar Bowl, his Alabama teams played in the 1990 Sugar Bowl, 1991 Fiesta Bowl and 1991 Blockbuster Bowl. Both Sugar Bowl appearances came after winning the SEC Championship game.

After his playing career, Swinney served as a graduate assistant from 1993-95 at Alabama, where he coached in the 1994 Gator Bowl and 1995 Citrus Bowl.

In December 1995, he received a master’s degree in business administration from Alabama.

He became a full-time assistant coach at Alabama in February 1996 under Head Coach Gene Stallings and coached a total of five seasons there on a full-time basis. Swinney was assigned to coach the Crimson Tide’s wide receivers and tight ends in 1996, a season that saw Alabama win the SEC Western Division title and make an Outback Bowl game. In 1997, he solely coached the tight ends.

In 1998, he coached Alabama’s wide receivers, a position he held for three seasons. At the end of the 1999 campaign, Swinney coached the Crimson Tide in the 2000 Orange Bowl after winning the SEC Championship game. Wide receiver Freddie Milons was the game MVP. During his time at Alabama, Swinney was a part of six teams with 10+ wins, five top-10 finishes, one national title (1992), three SEC Championships (1989,92,99) and five SEC Western Division titles (1992,93,94,96,99) as a player and coach.

As an assistant coach, he had 20 former players either drafted or sign free-agent contracts with NFL teams. The list includes Hamilton, Currie, Kevin Youngblood, Stuckey and Milons, an All-American at Alabama.

From April 2001 through February 2003, Swinney was in private business in Alabama. He married the former Kathleen Bassett in 1994. They have three sons, Will (16), Drew (14) and Clay (11).

Director of Athletics

DAN RADAKOVICH D

an Radakovich became Clemson’s 13th director of athletics on Dec. 1, 2012. He came with a wealth of experience after serving in significant athletic administrative roles at Miami (Fla.), Long Beach State, South Carolina and Louisiana State in addition to athletic directorships at American University and Georgia Tech. His administrative career spans over 26 years.

Under Radakovich’s leadership, Clemson enjoyed another outstanding fall campaign in 2014. In addition to 38 newly-graduated student-athletes, several fall programs excelled on the field as well. The men’s soccer team earned an ACC Championship in thrilling fashion, and the women’s soccer team returned to NCAA Tournament play. The football team again continued to record wins, entering the bowl season with a chance to win 10+ games for the fourth consecutive year.

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 to the committee is another testament to the level of respect he carries on a national basis. In 2012, he was named by NCAA President Mark Emmert as one of 10 directors of athletics 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 201314, 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 games over the course of the academic year. Each of the Tiger sport programs exceeded the NCAA baseline standards for Academic Progress Rate, and six programs posted perfect 1000 single-year scores, including men’s and women’s cross country, diving, women’s soccer, women’s tennis and volleyball.

Six of Clemson’s athletic teams and more than 53 percent of all student-athletes 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.

The football program played in a bowl game each year he was at Georgia Tech, including the 2010 Orange Bowl, the program’s first BCS-level bowl appearance since the 1967 Orange Bowl.

On an individual basis, the program had 51 firstteam All-Americans in 10 sports, 30 academic AllAmericans, two national coach-of-the-year selections and two national player-of-the-year selections. The program had 13 ACC Coach-of-the-Year and 13 ACC Player-of-the-Year choices as well.

The construction of new facilities or upgrades to existing ones was a focus of Radakovich’s tenure with the Yellow Jacket program, and it certainly is at Clemson as well. The John & Mary Brock Football Practice Facility, which opened in 2011, and McCamish Pavilion, which opened for basketball in 2012, are two of the top facilities of their kind in college athletics.

Radakovich also initiated the Athletic Director’s Initiative Fund, started in 2006, which raised cash and pledges of more than $12 million.

The Aliquippa, Pa. native was first made aware of Tiger athletics through the basketball exploits of Butch Zatezalo, who was from the same town. Zatezalo was a three-time All-ACC Tiger whose legendary 25-point scoring nights received a lot of attention in Pennsylvania in the 1960s when Radakovich was a youth.

Prior to his tenure at Georgia Tech, Radakovich worked as a senior associate athletic director at Louisiana State from 2001-06. He had many responsibilities that dealt with the football program and worked closely with then Head Coach Nick Saban, including the year (2003) the Tigers won the National Championship.

He became a director of athletics for the first time at American University in Washington, D.C. in 2000.

Between the 1994-00 seasons, Radakovich served as chief financial officer at South Carolina. During that time, he worked with current Clemson football administrators Woody McCorvey and Brad Scott.

He gained experience on the West Coast from 198994, when he was a senior associate athletic director at Long Beach State. He got his start in administration at Miami (Fla.) in 1983 as the athletic business manager.

Radakovich is a 1980 graduate of Indiana (Pa.), where he earned a bachelor of science degree in finance. He was also a football letterman and student coach with the Crimson Hawk program. He was enshrined into the Beaver County Sports Hall of Fame in 2008 and was recognized as a distinguished alumnus from Indiana (Pa.) in 2009.

He earned his master’s degree in business administration from Miami (Fla.) in 1982.

Radakovich, born June 9, 1958, and his wife, Marcie, have two sons, Christian, a 2012 Georgia Tech graduate, and Grant, a student-athlete who plays football at Mercer.

VERSUS

In women’s sports, the tennis team reached the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament for the eighth time in the last 10 years and the golf team finished with a No. 14 national ranking in its first year of competition.

Those programs, plus the men’s tennis and men’s soccer teams, earned team bids to NCAA Tournaments.

He has always been a director of action when it comes to facilities, and in his first year, projects were put in place at the West endzone of Memorial Stadium and a new player facility at Doug Kingsmore Stadium.

He also announced plans for a new Littlejohn Coliseum.

The Tiger program had a strong finish to the 201213 academic year under Radakovich’s guidance. It finished with eight different teams achieving top-25 status. There were two ACC Championships recorded by the women’s track program. Both indoor track teams had top-25 finishes and both tennis teams had top-25 finishes in the spring.

Radakovich came to Clemson from Georgia Tech, where he served with distinction for six years (200612). 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 either NCAA Tourney play or bowl games in his six years. That includes five sports (football, women’s basketball, softball, women’s tennis, men’s golf) that made the postseason every year. 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 a National Championship women’s tennis program in 2007, just its second team title in history. There were 14 ACC titles celebrated in addition to nine regTHE RADAKOVICH FAMILY - DAN AND ular-season conference WIFE, MARCIE, ALONG WITH SONS, CHRISTIAN (LEFT) AND GRANT (RIGHT). or division titles.

GAME 1 Clemson 21 Georgia 45 Aug. 30, 2014 • SANFORD Stadium • Athens, Ga. Watkins. And in the first half, he did not disappoint.

Stoudt and the offense orchestrated an effective 12play, 70-yard scoring drive on the offense’s first series, capped by a one-yard touchdown run by D.J. Howard.

Georgia rallied behind quarterback Hutson Mason and leaned on the dynamic, superstar ability of Gurley, as the Bulldogs scored two touchdowns to end the first quarter with a 14-7 lead.

Tiger fans saw a quick glimpse of the future when first-year freshman Deshaun Watson, one of the highest-rated dual-threat quarterbacks in the nation coming out of high school, entered the game in the second quarter. He led a six-play, 78-yard scoring drive, ending with a 30-yard passing touchdown to Charone Peake to even the score 14-14.

The Clemson defense played effectively in the first half, holding Georgia to 68 passing yards and 45 rushing yards, and Gurley amassed only 39 of those 113 total yards. But after Clemson took a 21-14 lead on C.J. Davidson’s one-yard touchdown run in the second quarter, Gurley broke through, taking a kickoff return 100 yards to tie the score again.

Georgia kicked a field goal in the third quarter to take the lead for good, while the Bulldog defense kept Clemson off the scoreboard during the entire second half.

Georgia scored on three consecutive offensive plays in the fourth quarter to pull away.

Clemson’s offense finished the night with 291 yards of total offense, while Georgia had 459 total yards.

The difference came on the ground, where Georgia totaled 328 rushing yards compared to Clemson’s 88 rushing yards.

It was an engaging matchup throughout the first half, but No. 12 Georgia pulled away to defeat No. 16 Clemson 45-21 in Athens behind an impressive rushing attack.

It was the Tigers’ first loss in a season-opener under Head Coach Dabo Swinney. Clemson’s last seasonopening loss came in 2008 against Alabama.

Georgia’s ground game, led by Todd Gurley, amassed 328 yards, with Gurley accounting for 198.

In his first career start, Cole Stoudt was out to show the Clemson offense was not all Tajh Boyd and Sammy

GAME 2 SC State

Clemson 73 Sept. 6, 2014 • Memorial Stadium • Clemson, S.C. In their home opener, the No. 23 Clemson Tigers faced another type of Bulldog in SC State, looking to bounce back from the previous game in Athens, Ga., and the Tigers did not disappoint, cruising to a 73-7 win.

Clemson finished the day with 735 yards, while holding SC State to just 44, with the defense not giving up an offensive touchdown. The 73 points were the most by Clemson since scoring 82 points against Wake Forest in 1981, while the 66-point margin of victory was Clemson’s largest since 1957, when the Tigers defeated Presbyterian College 66-0.

“This was a great win and I’m proud of our team today,” said Head Coach Dabo Swinney. “We had to respond after last week and I think we did, and that’s what matters. The coaches, the support staff and the players - everyone put forth the effort we needed.”

On offense, Clemson moved the ball effectively, finishing with 268 rushing yards and 467 passing yards.

Both quarterbacks had efficient games, as Cole Stoudt finished with 302 passing yards and a touchdown along with a pass efficiency rating of 163.4.

Deshaun Watson had 154 passing yards, three touchdowns and a pass efficiency rating of 342.6. Watson’s first game in Death Valley was all he could have ask for.

“It was great,” said Watson. “Seeing all the orange in the stands and all the fans and Clemson Family support, and then running down the Hill with all my ‘brothers’ for the first time was a great experience.”

In regard to Watson’s performance against SC State, Offensive Coordinator Chad Morris liked what he saw out of the offense and praised Watson’s progress and poise on the field, while also highlighting the Tigers still have two good quarterbacks to work with.

“You’ve got great competition, and Cole is our starter, but that’s a pleasure to have. We obviously know where Deshaun is, and he is the future down the road in years to come, but we’re excited about Cole as well.”

The performances by other freshmen did not go unnoticed, as fans saw plenty of potential from more than just Watson. Wide Receiver Artavis Scott finished the day with six receptions for 164 yards and two touchdowns, passing both Aaron Kelly and Sammy Watkins in single-game receiving yards by a Tiger freshman.

The previous record was set by Kelly against Temple in 2006 and Watkins against Auburn in 2011.

“It’s a good accomplishment for me,” said Scott.

“I’m excited and I was blessed and thankful for it, but I know we have to handle more things than that.”

Scott, who earned ACC Receiver-of-the-Week honors, also stated that the offense’s performance would be good momentum heading into the bye week before hitting the road to Tallahassee against Florida State.

“It’s going to keep building our momentum, practice is going to be high intensity like we’ve been doing and when this game comes, it’s going to be a big week for us, and we’re going to be ready when it comes,” added Scott. “Coming back out, we don’t want to get complacent. We want to keep doing the same things we’re doing, moving the ball and keeping defenses on their heels and moving forward and building ARTAVIS SCOTT HAD and building.”

SIX RECEPTIONS The Tigers got the job done in FOR 164 YARDS AND TWO TOUCHDOWNS the running game as well as the AGAINST SC STATE. passing game. Wayne Gallman led all rushers with 77 yards on 10 carries. Gallman made the most of his opportunities and did not let his chance get away from him.

“I had a lot of fun today, and I think it was just the beginning of something new,” stated Gallman.

“I think we have a whole lot more in store. The offensive line did a great job getting their blocks.”

Gallman was not the only freshman running back to see his first extended game action. Adam Choice logged plenty of snaps on the day, finishing with 12 carries for 74 yards and a touchdown, the first of his Tiger career, while averaging 6.2 yards per carry. He also added two catches for 15 yards.

“We gave it our all and everything opened up,” said Choice about the Tigers’ success in the running game. “The offensive line did a great job and everything was there, so I believe if we work like that, good things will happen.”

GAME 3 Clemson 17 OT

Florida State 23 Sept. 20, 2014 • DOAK S. CAMPBELL Stadium • Tallahassee, Fla. The No. 22 Clemson Tigers battled the defending National Champions and threatened to end No. 1 Florida State’s 18-game winning streak, but the Seminoles prevailed 23-17 in overtime when Karlos Williams scored on a 12-yard walkoff run.

The loss dropped the Tigers to 1-2 overall and 0-1 in the ACC. Florida State improved to 3-0 overall and 1-0 in league play.

The Tigers came into Doak S. Campbell Stadium with a prime opportunity to upset the defending titleholder, but a late turnover and crucial mistakes proved

costly in a game that could simply be described as a missed opportunity.

It was Clemson’s first game against a top-ranked team since 1999, when the Tigers hosted the Seminoles. It was also the Tigers’ first overtime game since 2010.

A bright spot from the disappointing night, freshman quarterback Deshaun Watson entered the game on the Tigers’ third drive and played the rest of the game, finishing 19-28 passing for 266 yards along with 30 rushing yards and a touchdown. Watson was named ACC

Rookie-of-the-Week for his efforts. The Tiger offense finished with 407 total yards and running back C.J. Davidson led the Tigers with 54 yards on 12 carries.

Clemson’s defense came to play early and often, amassing five sacks, with Vic Beasley registering two.

Clemson also limited Florida State to just 317 total yards, including only 13 yards on 27 carries.

The Tigers kept Sean Maguire under pressure for most of the night, intercepting two passes in the fourth quarter. However, Maguire made just enough plays to overcome the Tigers’ pass rush to stay undefeated.

GAME 4 North Carolina 35 Clemson 50 Sept. 27, 2014 • Memorial Stadium • Clemson, S.C.

In his first career start, Deshaun Watson passed for 435 yards and six touchdowns, as the Tigers earned their first ACC victory with a 50-35 win over North Carolina at Memorial Stadium. It was the first time in history Clemson scored exactly 50 points in a game.

Watson’s six touchdowns made him the first Tiger in history to throw six touchdowns in a game and the first freshman in ACC history to do so. His 435 passing yards were also a freshman record, and he became just the fifth ACC player, regardless of class, to throw six touchdowns in a game.

Watson continued to show poise beyond that of a freshman quarterback, proving himself early and often in his first career start, though he was not too surprised about what to expect in his starting debut.

“I was expecting to go out there and execute, and that’s what we did,” said Watson. “It just happened that my offensive line was big and my receivers made great catches. And I’m happy with the records.”

Watson earned ACC Co-Offensive Back-of-the-Week and ACC Rookie-of-the-Week honors for his efforts.

But Watson was not the only story of the Tiger offense.

2014 RUSSELL ATHLETIC BOWL GUIDE

Sophomore Germone Hopper led Clemson with 139 receiving yards and two touchdowns, with Mike Williams close behind with 122 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Clemson finished the night with 528 yards of offense.

“We have a lot of good, young receivers, so we just have to go out there and make a lot of plays,” said Williams about the receivers’ performance. “We came in Monday, put the game against Florida State to bed and got focused on North Carolina and had great preparation.”

Hopper was certainly more involved in the passing game, and he stepped up when his number was called.

“Coach (Swinney) told me before the game I would be a big part of the offense early, so I was ready to play,” said Hopper.

Offensive Coordinator Chad Morris was pleased with the offense’s performance against the Tar Heel defense and likes what he is seeing out of an offense with a lot of young talent.

“A lot of excitement,” said Morris. “Felt like all week long, this game was a pivotal moment for our program.

If we came out and played with the effort that we did last week (against Florida State) and win and play well and get better, then it’s going to set the tone for the rest of the season.

“It was really exciting to see these guys come out and play like they played, from play-two on. We don’t have a lot of veterans on our side of the ball with experience, but we have young guys making plays, and it’ll make an old man out of you real quick, but I’m excited for the future.”

When asked about Watson’s performance moving forward, Morris certainly had some strong words about the freshman quarterback’s budding future.

“To come out and put on a performance like he did, from the second-effort throws, his patience in the pocket, his ability to see the field and extend plays with his feet...that’s what you like to see. I’m extremely proud of him, and I think he provides a spark for this football team, and not just for this offense, but the entire football team.”

The Clemson defense brought pressure early and often, including a safety courtesy of defensive end Shaq Lawson, while fellow defensive end Vic Beasley notched two sacks, bringing his career total to 27, one shy of the Tiger record.

“We’ve been battle tested in games like Georgia and Florida State, so we know what it takes to win the big games,” said Beasley. “We’re definitely back on track now.”

When asked about the sack record, Beasley said it was one of the goals he made upon returning for his senior season.

“I came back and wanted to break that record, and I look forward to doing so.”

Bradley Pinion was a factor on special teams, averaging 46.6 yards on his five punts, with three punts inside the 20. He was named ACC Co-Specialist-of-theWeek.

Head Coach Dabo Swinney loved the team’s response and its ability to bounce back from the previous week’s overtime loss at No. 1 Florida State.

GAME 5 NC State

Clemson 41 Oct. 4, 2014 • Memorial Stadium • Clemson, S.C. Clemson recorded its first shutout in the Dabo Swinney era, as the defense responded to the challenge set by the coaches in practice all week to limit big plays from opposing offenses, blanking NC State 41-0.

It was the Tigers’ first shutout since 2008 against SC State and the first against an ACC opponent in 16 years. It was also the largest margin of victory in series history by either team.

“Our guys were invested and had a great week of practice after a humbling second half last week,” said Defensive Coordinator Brent Venables. “Our guys played with incredible passion. I loved the intensity and discipline these guys played with.

“I’m happy that they’ve finally been rewarded for all their hard work. Our guys have really bounced back and had a strong performance. Offense, defense and special teams all complemented each other.”

On offense, it was business as usual, as Deshaun Watson opened the game with a seven-play, 82-yard drive, capped by a 56-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Mike Williams, setting the tone for the rest of the day.

Watson, who earned ACC Offensive Back-of-theWeek and ACC Rookie-of-the-Week honors, finished 1729 passing for 267 yards and two touchdowns while adding two rushing touchdowns and 62 yards on the ground. Clemson also found a spark in the running game outside of Watson, as freshman Wayne Gallman finished with 13 carries for 58 yards, averaging 4.5 yards per carry.

On his 20th birthday, Williams received both of Watson’s gift-wrapped touchdown passes of 56 and 31 yards, leading all players with 155 receiving yards. He continued to establish his presence as a dynamic threat in the Tigers’ receiving corps. Williams was named ACC Receiver-ofthe-Week for his efforts.

Clemson’s offense finished with 493 total yards, including 226 rushing yards, averaging 4.5 yards per carry. Perhaps the biggest stat of the day was the lack of turnovers by the Clemson offense.

“We ran a balanced offense today,” said Watson. “I give all of the credit to our offensive line, the running backs found holes and our receivers made me look good.

We’re getting better each week. I give the offensive line all the credit. I love those guys.”

Offensive Coordinator Chad Morris praised the offense for its balanced attack against the Wolfpack and was pleased with the Tigers’ performance, especially in the turnover battle. Clemson did not commit a turnover.

“I think what you’re seeing is a group of guys getting better every week,” stated Morris. “No turnovers is huge, we stress that all the time, and we want to run the football. We want to be more effective in the run game and really challenge our offensive line, so I’m really proud of those guys and how they responded.

“I’m just proud of our great team effort overall. It’s hard to shut anyone out.”

The defense faced a challenge in quarterback Jacoby Brissett, who entered the game leading the ACC with 13 passing touchdowns.

all-time career sack record of 28 while collecting a caused fumble and return for a touchdown.

Clemson’s defense forced three turnovers on the day, with caused fumbles by Stephone Anthony and Kellen Jones along with Beasley’s. The defense refused to yield, holding the Wolfpack to 154 total yards of offense. Grady Jarrett led all tacklers with nine.

“We definitely built off of last week and are showing our progress over the last few weeks as a whole,” said Jarrett. “We prepared for it all and we played what we had and had a really strong game on defense.”

More than anything, the Tigers’ performance in all aspects of the game was all Swinney could ask for from his team, and they did not disappoint.

“This is my first shutout as a head coach, so this is extra special for me,” added Swinney.

GAME 6 Louisville 17 Clemson 23 Oct. 11, 2014 • Memorial Stadium • Clemson, S.C.

The No. 25 Clemson Tigers pulled out a 23-17 victory over Louisville with their backs against the wall, holding the Cardinals on a last-minute, goal-line stand to preserve a hard-fought victory in the first-ever meeting between the two schools.

With freshman quarterback Deshaun Watson forced to leave the game due to a broken hand, Cole Stoudt stepped in and went 20-33 passing for 162 yards.

Freshman Artavis Scott led all receivers with 10 receptions for 66 yards, while freshman Adam Choice led all rushers with 61 yards on 16 carries.

Head Coach Dabo Swinney praised Stoudt for his resiliency coming off a shoulder injury and appreciated how his senior led the team once Watson went down in the first quarter.

“Cole didn’t take a snap in practice all week because of his shoulder,” admitted Swinney. “Instead of pouting and crying, all he did was choose to have a good attitude and go back to work.

“Cole told me, ‘Coach, I’ll be ready when you need me.’ It does your heart good to see a young man rise up and be there for his teammates. I couldn’t be more proud of him.”

Clemson’s defense and special teams play won the game for the Tigers, which included a 72-yard return

by Adam Humphries on the Cardinals’ first punt of the game. Humphries, who was named ACC Specialist-of-

the-Week, became the first Tiger to return a punt for a touchdown since C.J. Spiller scored on a 77-yard punt return against Boston College in 2009.

Another bright note on special teams, placekicker Ammon Lakip made all three of his field-goal attempts, including two of 40+ yards, which led to praise from Swinney.

“He went 3-3 with one off the backboard,” joked Swinney about Lakip’s 40-yard field goal off the right upright that gave Clemson the lead for good on the last play of the third quarter. “I think he called that one.”

In the second quarter, Garry Peters made one of the game’s biggest plays when he sacked Reggie Bonnafon and forced a fumble, which was recovered by Tavaris Barnes in the endzone for the go-ahead touchdown.

Vic Beasley also recorded a sack to bring his career total to 29 and set Clemson’s all-time sack record, moving ahead of Michael Dean Perry and the late Gaines Adams.

“It’s definitely special to be among names like Michael Dean Perry and Gaines Adams,” said Beasley.

“They helped set the example for me.”

Defensive Coordinator Brent Venables couldn’t say enough about how his defense performed at every turn during the game, coming up with the big plays when they needed them, especially on Louisville’s final drive.

“They played with everything they got, and we needed it today,” said Venables. “These guys showed resiliency, toughness and courage. Our guys were ready for it, and I’m really proud of them.”

In his first career start in place of an injured Tony Steward, sophomore linebacker Ben Boulware led the defense with 12 tackles, including a gamehigh three tackles for loss and one sack.

Safety Jayron Kearse made a game-saving tackle on James Quick after a 73-yard catch and run late in the game, which would have tied the score and put the Cardinals ahead 24-23 with a successful extra-point attempt.

“That’s something we go through every day in practice,” said Kearse. “We have to get to the ball.”

GAME 7 Clemson 17 Boston College 13 Oct. 18, 2014 • ALUMNI Stadium • Chestnut Hill, Mass.

For the second game in a row, the Clemson defense needed to make one final stop to give the Tigers a win.

And two games in a row, the Clemson defense did just that.

C.J. Davidson scored from 32 yards out with 9:35 remaining in the game and No. 22 Clemson’s relentless defense held from there in a 17-13 win over Boston College at Alumni Stadium.

Boston College quarterback Tyler Murphy did plenty of scrambling in the second half and had his team in Tiger territory late in the fourth quarter. But the Clemson defense forced four straight incompletions and the Tigers preserved the victory to take home the O’RourkeMcFadden Trophy for the sixth time in seven years.

“Two weeks in a row, our defense has had to stand up four downs in a row in the redzone, and we got it done,” said Head Coach Dabo Swinney. “This was another character win, the second week in a row.”

The Tigers held the Eagles to just 120 rushing yards, no small feat considering Boston College entered the game with a top-five rushing offense in the nation.

“We’ll take it,” stated a relieved Defensive Coordinator Brent Venables after the game. “You feel like you need a therapist after a game like that. But we found a way to win and made some huge stops.

“We have to be better disciplined. We’re going to have to rep all those trick plays in practice until we learn how to stop them. But I love our guys for the resolve and the fight that they showed. They were a top-five rushCOLE STOUDT PASSED ing team in the counFOR 285 YARDS TO WIN THE LEATHER try and we really shut HELMET AWARD AS them down.”

THE GAME’S MVP IN Cole Stoudt played CLEMSON’S VICTORY well in his first start AT BOSTON COLLEGE. since the Florida State game on September 20. The senior finished with a careerhigh 29 completions on 45 attempts for 285 yards. He directed the Tigers to 398 yards of total offense and 22 first downs.

“I still had a lot of shoulder pain this week, but I just tried to battle,” said Stoudt, who received the Leather Helmet Award as the game MVP. “Our coaches put together a great gameplan and it was a great team effort to get this done today.”

Wayne Gallman scored the first Tiger touchdown, scampering in from 17 yards for his first career score. Gallman finished with 15 carries for 39 yards, while another Tiger freshman, wideout Artavis Scott, had 10 receptions for 72 yards. Mike Williams added eight catches for a gamehigh 128 yards.

responded when it needed it most. On third-and-long during a rain shower, Stoudt found Williams down the sideline for a 32-yard gain. A few plays later, Davidson found paydirt from 32 yards out to put the Tigers ahead for good.

Clemson’s defense took advantage of several miscues from the Eagle offense, including a big drop in the first quarter on a potential touchdown pass and an underthrow on a successful reverse play in the third quarter. The Eagles also missed an extra point, which forced them to go for a touchdown on the final drive.

“We saw a lot of contributions from a lot of guys,” said Swinney. “The thing that I was the most proud of is that we were able to rush for two touchdowns in two scoring situations.

“We knew it was going to be a slugfest. That’s a quality win.”

With the win in the first meeting between the two schools at Memorial Stadium, the No. 20 Tigers moved to 5-1 in the ACC, 6-2 overall and became bowl eligible.

“We keep finding ways to win,” said Head Coach Dabo Swinney. “As long as we have one more point than the opponent, that’s all that matters. We got it done.”

Gallman, who was named ACC Rookie-of-the-Week, finished with 101 yards on 28 carries. Mike Williams led the Tigers in receiving yards with 72 and Artavis Scott led with seven receptions.

The Clemson defense played strong again, keeping the Orange off the scoreboard in the second half. The Tigers had four sacks, an accomplishment considering Syracuse only allowed five sacks entering the game.

ROBERT SMITH HAD A TEAMHIGH 11 TACKLES AND AN INTERCEPTION, AS CLEMSON HELD SYRACUSE TO 170 YARDS.

The Tigers had 12 tackles for loss and held Syracuse to 3-16 on third-down attempts. The defense also forced three turnovers, with interceptions by safety Robert Smith and Stephone Anthony, who was named ACC Co-Linebacker-of-the-Week, along with a recovered fumble by cornerback Mackensie Alexander. The lost fumble was the first by Syracuse in over 278 snaps, which dated to its September 20 game against Maryland.

The homecoming crowd was electric and the support was appreciated by the team.

“It’s really special when you can go out on defense and everyone gets loud and cheers for you,” said Grady Jarrett. “It’s a very satisfying feeling to know the amount of support we have to get the ball back for our offense.”

In a low-scoring affair, special teams continued to be a solid contributor for the Tigers. Ammon Lakip, who

“It’s not often that you’re minus in the turnover margin and still win,” said Swinney.

The biggest drive for the Clemson offense came in the second half, when Cole Stoudt orchestrated a seven-play, 73-yard drive, capped by a 19-yard touchdown pass to Stanton Seckinger in the fourth quarter to give the Tigers a 16-6 lead.

“We got the running game going, improved on some things and made key plays in the second half,” said Stoudt.

The seniors recorded their 25th ACC win, the most ever by a Clemson class.

GAME 9 Clemson 34 Wake Forest

20

Nov. 6, 2014 • BB&T FIELD • Winston-Salem, N.C. The No. 19 Clemson Tigers overcame a slow start but finished fast in a 34-20 triumph at Wake Forest. The win, Clemson’s sixth straight, moved the Tigers to 7-2 overall and 6-1 in the ACC. Clemson compiled 427 yards of offense and limited Wake Forest to just 119. The Demon Deacons were held to only seven yards on the ground, while the Tigers racked up 13 tackles for loss.

“There was way too much frustration instead of accountability early on,” admitted Defensive Coordinator Brent Venables. “I think our experience and leadership took over. We had poise in the second half and got into a rhythm.”

The score was tied 20-20 early in the fourth quarter, but the turning point came when freshman Artavis Scott caught a flip pass from Cole Stoudt on an end-around and evaded tacklers to score the go-ahead touchdown on a 68-yard play. The highlight play helped spark the offense, and the Tigers pulled away in the final 10 minutes.

“It’s amazing what happens when one guy makes a play and everyone starts believing,” said Offensive Coordinator Chad Morris.”

Offensively, Stoudt passed for 282 yards and three touchdowns. Freshmen Wayne Gallman and Scott were the standout performers for the offense. The two accounted for all four of the Tiger touchdowns, with Gallman posting SHAQ LAWSON HAD A 149 yards from scrimTEAM-SEASON-HIGH mage. Scott tallied FOUR TACKLES FOR eight catches for 122 LOSS IN CLEMSON’S yards and two scores.

WIN AT WAKE FOREST. It marked the first time in history Tiger freshmen totaled 100 rushing yards and 100 receiving yards in the same game.

Morris credited the Tiger fans in attendance on a cold and windy night for having a big impact on the game.

“We had unbelievable fans tonight. Our fans were incredible.

They were everywhere, hollering and cheering. We really appreciate that. Hats off to our fanbase. It doesn’t matter where we go... our fans travel and we love them for that.”

“It’s a tough place to play, but our fans gave us an edge,” stated Stoudt. “That was probably the best our offensive line has played. They were a huge factor in this game.”

Wake Forest went up 7-0 early, but Clemson responded with an Ammon Lakip field goal and a screen pass for a touchdown to Gallman, who was named ACC Rookieof-the-Week, to take the lead in the second quarter. The Ti-

gers were leading 17-14 on their final drive of the first half, when two defensive penalties gave Wake Forest a chance to tie the score on an untimed down. Mike Weaver was true from 50 yards out to even the score at halftime.

“When it counted, we got it done,” said senior Grady Jarrett. “It was a complete team effort on this win. I felt like we were flat at the beginning of the game, but we fixed it. If we want the defense to be what we want, we have to get better week-in and week-out.”

GAME 10 Clemson 6 Georgia Tech

Nov. 15, 2014 • BOBBY DODD Stadium • Atlanta, Ga. The No. 17 Clemson Tigers lost starting quarterback Deshaun Watson to a knee injury and could not overcome three turnovers, two of which were converted for touchdowns, in No. 23 Georgia Tech’s 28-6 win in Atlanta. With the loss, the Tigers finished their ACC campaign with a 6-2 record and fell to 7-3 overall. Georgia Tech improved to 9-2 overall and finished 6-2 in the ACC Coastal Division.

“This loss hurts, but we have to rally together,” said Head Coach Dabo Swinney. “We have to respond, simple as that.”

With Watson making his first start since the Louisville game on October 11, the Tiger offense was operating well and led 3-0, threatening to add to it. But Watson immediately grasped for his knee after a firstdown run to the Yellow Jacket 14 and left the game.

Cole Stoudt’s pass was intercepted and returned for a touchdown three plays later, giving the Yellow Jackets the lead for good.

The Tigers hung tough defensively, yielding just 117 yards in the first half to one of the nation’s best rushing attacks, but trailed 9-3.

Early in the second half, the Yellow Jackets intercepted a Stoudt pass and converted it into points. They later took another one for six to blow the game open.

Despite Clemson’s offensive struggles, the Tiger defense stood tall most of the day, allowing just 353 yards to a team averaging 481.3 entering the contest. It also allowed just one touchdown.

Freshman Wayne Gallman continued to show his development. The Peach State native produced 88 yards on 15 carries. Watson added seven rushes for 40 yards.

Clemson 28 Nov. 22, 2014 • Memorial Stadium • Clemson, S.C. Head Coach Dabo Swinney described it as a “special day,” as Clemson defeated Georgia State 28-0 on Military Appreciation Day at Memorial Stadium.

The win marked the Tigers’ eighth straight at home, moving the Tigers to 8-3 on the season. Clemson’s defense recorded its second shutout of the year, the first time since 1998 that the Tigers registered multiple shutouts in one year.

Tyshon Dye was the star on offense, as the freshman running back scored two touchdowns and rushed for 124 yards in just his second game as a Tiger. D.J. Howard had 43 yards on eight carries and Wayne Gallman added 30 rushing yards and a touchdown.

“We were going to make a point to feature Tyshon Dye,” said Swinney. “You can see that he has something special. I can see what’s coming down the road for us in the running game. It’s exciting.”

“We ran the ball well today,” said Offensive Coordinator Chad Morris. “It was a good mixup seeing Dye play. He continues to get better each and every week. Our big focus this week was how we could build confidence in our offense, and I think we did a good job of that.”

On the other side of the ball, Clemson’s defense limited Georgia State to 155 yards, including just 40 yards on the ground. The defense came away with three turnovers on day, with interceptions by Korrin Wiggins, Jayron Kearse and Garry Peters, all of which were converted into touchIN JUST HIS SECOND downs by the Tiger ofGAME AS A TIGER, fense.

GAME 12 South Carolina 17 Clemson 35 NoV. 29, 2014 • Memorial Stadium • Clemson, S.C.

Enough was enough for No. 23 Clemson, especially the seniors. And three freshmen who don’t know what losing to South Carolina is like get to keep it that way for at least another year.

After five straight years on the short end, Clemson finally broke through and won the annual rivalry game by a score of 35-17 and brought an end to a losing streak that kept many from realizing just how outstanding the program has been over the last several years.

New to the rivalry, Deshaun Watson (14-19 passing for 269 yards, two passing touchdowns and two rushing touchdowns), Wayne Gallman (191 yards and one touchdown on 27 carries) and Artavis Scott (seven receptions for 185 yards and two touchdowns) helped deliver long-awaited relief to the Tiger program and its fanbase.

The contest marked the first time that Clemson had a 250-yard passer, 180-yard rusher and 180-yard receiver in the same game, and it happened with three freshmen. Scott also totaled the most receiving yards by a Tiger in Memorial Stadium history.

The Tigers boasted their most balanced offensive attack in weeks, thanks in large part to the offensive

line that helped Clemson rush for 225 yards while not allowing a sack. One of those offensive linemen, Kalon Davis, was named ACC Co-Offensive Lineman-of-theWeek.

“The gameplan was excellent today,” said Watson.

“We went out and executed. Give a lot credit to our offensive line for allowing us to run the ball and for our great pass protection today.”

Head Coach Dabo Swinney couldn’t say enough about his team’s discipline during the week and its execution on both sides of the ball.

“It’s a great way to finish the regular season,” stated Swinney. “We knew they were focused, and I’m so proud of them. It was obviously great to get this win.”

On defense, the Tigers totaled 13 tackles for loss and five sacks. In his final home game, defensive end Vic Beasley, who was named ACC Defensive Linemanof-the-Week, registered three tackles for loss, two sacks and a caused fumble. Clemson also limited South Carolina’s running game, as the Gamecocks were held to only 63 yards on 33 carries.

“I can’t say much more about these guys,” said Defensive Coordinator Brent Venables. “They’re incredible and the best group I’ve been around. They deserved this. They have WAYNE GALLMAN been on edge and they RUSHED FOR 191 were so hungry for YARDS IN CLEMSON’S this game today. They 35-17 VICTORY OVER played with incredible SOUTH CAROLINA. passion.”

The raucous crowd was put on edge early when the Gamecocks took a 7-0 lead in the first quarter on a touchdown run by Pharoh Cooper. But Scott answered with a 53-yard touchdown catch, and the Tigers never looked back.

They followed with rushing touchdowns

by Gallman and Watson to give Clemson a 21-10 halftime lead.

In the second half, Clemson’s defense stalled a South Carolina drive that ended in a missed field goal, then Scott scored again on a 70-yard touchdown pass from Watson to extend Clemson’s lead to 2810.

The Tiger defense recorded a goal-line stand in the third quarter and then denied the Gamecocks

on another critical fourth down in the fourth quarter to end a potential scoring drive.

South Carolina made things interesting with a late touchdown to narrow Clemson’s lead to 28-17, but the Tigers delivered the final blow with a nine-play, 75-yard scoring drive that featured only running plays, including Watson’s second rushing touchdown of the game.

Swinney credited the fans for the support and atmosphere they provided in Death Valley.

“The fans were incredible today, and I hope they’ll enjoy this one.”

CLEMSON BOWL HISTORY

lemson has a rich bowl tradition. The Tigers have 18 bowl wins, tied for 17th-most in history, and their 36 bowl games are tied for 17th-most in history. Their first bowl game was in the 1940 Cotton Bowl when the Tigers defeated Frank Leahy (Boston College) 6-3.

The Tigers have played in a bowl game 26 of the last 30 years (including the 2014 season). That is among the top-10 bowl appearances since 1985. Clemson has also been bowl-eligible 16 consecutive years.

The three coaches Clemson beat in those games were Frank Leahy, Don Faurot and Andy Gustafson, and all three are in the College Football Hall of Fame.

Clemson has a football program that has been steady over the years in bowl games, no matter who has served as head coach of the Tigers. No less than seven different head coaches (Jess Neely, Frank Howard, Danny Ford, Ken Hatfield, Tommy West, Tommy Bowden, Dabo Swinney) have all been victorious in bowl games for the Tigers since the 1939 season.

Overall, nine of Clemson’s 18 bowl wins have come against head coaches who reside in the College Football Hall of Fame, including the late Joe Paterno of Penn State. Clemson has four bowl wins over coaches who are in the 200-victory club. Woody Hayes of Ohio State, Tom Osborne of Nebraska, Paterno and Nehlen are all coaches with at least 200 career victories who lost bowl games to the Tigers over the years.

Clemson has bowl wins over some of the greatest coaches in history:

BOWL VICTORIES

• Frank Leahy when Clemson defeated Boston College in the 1940 Cotton Bowl.

• Joe Paterno of Penn State when Clemson beat Penn State 35-10 in the 1988 Citrus Bowl. It was Paterno’s largest margin of defeat in a bowl game.

STEPHONE ANTHONY AND THE TIGERS CELEBRATED CLEMSON’S 18TH BOWL WIN IN THE 2014 ORANGE BOWL.

@ClemsonFB

1989 CITRUS BOWL Clemson 13 OKLAHOMA 6 JAN. 2, 1989 • CITRUS BOWL • ORLANDO, FLA. The Tigers rang in the New Year in fine fashion with a 13-6 victory over the Oklahoma Sooners, moving into the top-10 of the final AP poll for the first time since 1982 with a No. 9 ranking. The victory also gave Danny Ford a victory over the winningest active coach in Division I, Barry Switzer. Ford defeated the top-three winningest active coaches the decade, with wins over Switzer, Tom Osborne (Nebraska) and Joe Paterno (Penn State).

Although the Tigers faced a wishbone offense for the first time since Ford became head coach, the Clemson defense came through with flying colors, holding the Sooners to only 116 yards, and no touchdowns on the ground.

The game was a defensive struggle, as the two teams failed to combine for 500 yards of total offense, The first five series of the first quarter ended in punts for both teams. Late in the quarter, the Sooners drove down to the Clemson one-yardline, and the Tigers defense faced a first-and-goal situation.

Outside linebacker Levon Kirkland stopped the ballcarrier for no gain on first down. On second down Jesse Hatcher sacked Jamelle Holieway at the 19. After an

incomplete pass, the Sooners were forced to settle for a field goal.

Doug Brewster intercepted a pass early in the second quarter to set up a 20-yard field goal by Chris Gardocki.

With time running out in the first half, Gardocki put the Tigers up with another kick, this time a 46-yarder.

A fumble in the third quarter gave the Sooners the opportunity to take the lead, but the Tiger defense held and R.D. Lashar hit again from 30 yards. The Tigers responded on the next series, driving 80 yards in 15 plays for the game’s only touchdown, as Terry Allen scored on a four-yard run. Allen, the game’s Most Valuable Player, rushed for 25 yards and caught two passes for 17 yards on the drive.

Defensive MVP Jesse Hatcher caused and recovered a fumble on the Sooners’ next drive, but the Sooners would have one more opportunity to score. After a punt, Oklahoma drove from its own 20 to the Clemson 14, as Holieway put the Tiger secondary to the test by putting the ball in the air. On the last play of the game, freshman Dexter Davis knocked down a pass in the endzone to seal the Tiger victory.

Clemson 15 DEC. 23, 2002 • FLORIDA CITRUS BOWL Stadium • ORLANDO, FLA. Texas Tech defeated Clemson 55-15 in the 2003 Mazda Tangerine Bowl at Florida Citrus Bowl Stadium in Orlando, Fla. Making their fourth consecutive bowl appearance, the Tigers were unable to contain Kliff Kingsbury, who threw for 375 yards and three touchdowns.

Earning game MVP honors, he completed 32-43 passes and finished the season with 5,017 passing yards.

Although Kingsbury left the game in the third quarter with a leg injury, he returned to play in the final quarter and became just the third player in Division I-A history to eclipse the 5,000-yard passing mark in a season.

Charlie Whitehurst, who completed 20 of his 48 passes for 263 yards, led Clemson. His favorite target was Kevin Youngblood, who had a game-high 134 yards receiving on seven catches.

Kingsbury established the tone for the Red Raider offense by completing six of his first eight pass attempts and leading the Red Raiders to a 29-yard field goal. Less than six minutes later, Kingsbury’s 46-yard touchdown pass to Nehemiah Glover gave the Red Raiders a 10-0 lead.

The onslaught continued in the first quarter when Kingsbury connected with Mickey Peters on a 19-yard touchdown pass that gave Texas Tech a 17-0 lead entering the second quarter.

Taurean Henderson’s 10-yard run gave the Red Raiders a 24-0 lead with 12:09 remaining in the first half.

Midway through the second quarter, Clemson finally mustered some points when Tye Hill blocked a punt that resulted in a safety when the ball went through the endzone.

Vincent Meeks intercepted Whitehurst at the goal-line.

Three quick completions moved the Texas Tech offense into field-goal range, and Robert Treece’s successful 40-yard attempt as time expired gave Texas Tech a 34-2 advantage at halftime.

Clemson’s opening drive of the second half resulted in the team’s first offensive score, when Whitehurst connected with tight end Ben Hall on a 10-yard touchdown pass. Kingsbury left the game on the next possession after Khaleed Vaughn rolled over his leg; B.J. Symons replaced Kingsbury and guided the Red Raiders to a score

2005 CHAMPS SPORTS BOWL Clemson 19 COLORADO 10 DEC. 27, 2005 • FLORIDA CITRUS BOWL Stadium • ORLANDO, FLA. Clemson won its 15th bowl game with a 19-10 win over Colorado in the Champs Sports Bowl in Orlando, Fla. It was only the second meeting between the two, with the first coming in the 1957 Orange Bowl.

James Davis led the way for the Tigers, rushing for 150 yards on 28 carries to earn MVP honors. Charlie Whitehurst finished his career completing 21-29 passes for 205 yards, and also ran for a score.

Two runs by Davis gained 26 yards, and Whitehurst followed with a 20-yard strike to Curtis Baham. The drive stalled three plays later, and Jad Dean made a 26-yard field goal.

Hugh Charles picked up 13 yards and a first down at the Clemson 10, barely missing a score by stepping out of bounds. However, three more rushes by Charles resulted in a loss of eight yards, and Colorado settled for a Mason Crosby 36-yard field goal on the first play of the second quarter.

On Clemson’s next possession, Whitehurst found Thomas Hunter for 10 yards on third down. After a penalty gave the Tigers another first down, Whitehurst

completed a shovel pass to Davis for 22 yards down to the Colorado 10. Two rushes by Davis and another completion to Hunter moved the ball to the two, and Clemson elected to take the lead with a field goal. Dean made his 24th field goal to set a school record for field goals in a season, and his 18-yarder also gave the Tigers a 6-3 lead.

On the second play of the third quarter, Davis broke free for a 40-yard run. Whitehurst found Aaron Kelly for 11 yards three plays later, and then Whitehurst dove into the endzone for a five-yard touchdown run on a thirdand-goal play. The touchdown drive covered 67 yards in eight plays.

Each team punted several more times before Colorado began a drive at its own 31 with just over nine minutes left in the game. Cox was replaced by Brian White. After a pass-interference penalty on the Tigers, White hit two consecutive passes for 45 yards down to the Clemson nine. Three plays later on third down, White found Quinn Sypniewski for a two-yard touchdown pass to cut the lead to 13-10.
