Clemson vs. Syracuse Series This is just the sixth meeting be-tween Clemson and Syracuse. The Orange won the first meeting at the 1996 (end of 1995 sea-son) Gator Bowl in Jacksonville by a 41-0 score. Clemson was ranked 23rd entering the game and coming off a five-game winning streak to close the season. Syracuse was unranked going into the game, but jumped to 17th in the final USA Today poll with the impressive win. Dona-van McNabb quarterbacked Syracuse to that victory. Since Syracuse joined the ACC in 2013, Clemson has won all four games by at least double digits.

In 2013, Clemson, ranked third in the AP poll entering the game, won at Syracuse by a 49-14 score behind the passing combi-nation of Tajh Boyd to Sammy Watkins. Boyd threw for a then Clemson record 455 yards and five touchdown passes, while Watkins had four catches for 126 yards, including a 91-yard score from Boyd. Clemson led 35-7 at halftime. Clemson finished the game with 624 yards of total offense and averaged 8.1 yards per play. It was the first ACC game for Syracuse.

In 2014 at Memorial Stadium on Clemson’s homecoming, the Tiger won 16-6. It was Syracuse’s first appearance in Memorial Stadium. Clemson’s No 1 ranked defense held the Orange to just 10 first downs, 88 yards rushing and 82 yards passing for 170 total in just 62 plays, a 2.7 average. Clemson had 23 first downs, 166 yards rushing and 209 pass-ing. Wayne Gallman was a workhorse for Clemson with 28 carries for 101 yards, while C.J. Davidson added 9-38. Cole Stoudt was 24-35 passing for 209 yards and a touchdown. Deshaun Watson was injured and did not play. Mike Williams had 5-72 receiving and Artavis Scott added 5-59. Stanton Seckinger caught a 19-yard scoring pass from Stoudt with 14:28 left to give Clemson a 16-6 lead. In 2015, Clemson’s last appearance in the Carrier Dome, the Tigers again won by 10 points, 37-27 at Syracuse. The two teams played a wild first quarter as Clemson scored three touchdowns and Syracuse two for a 21-14 Clemson lead after 15 minutes. Clemson then won the second period 10-3 to take a 31-17 lead at the half. Clemson got off to a quick start with a 64-yard pass play from Deshaun Watson to Charone Peake on the game’s first play. Wayne Gallman then scored on an 11-yard run. Peake later caught a four-yard scoring pass from Wat-son in the period. Syracuse won the third period 7-0 and it was 31-24 entering the fourth period, but the Clemson defense held Syracuse to just three points, while the Tigers Greg Huegel boot-ed two field goals, including a 42 yarder with 3:20 left that finally gave Clemson a two-score lead. Watson was brilliant as he completed 35-48 passes for 368 yards and two scores. He also had 105 yards rushing, giving him 473 yards of total offense. Charone Peake had a career game with seven catches for 120 yards and score. Artavis Scott had 12 receptions for 73 yards. Deon Cain had four receptions for 67, including a 40-yard touchdowns.

The victory was the 10th in a row to open the season for the Tigers and moved Clemson to No. 1 in the AP poll.

Last Year vs. SyracuseClemson 54, Syracuse 0 Clemson scored 30 points in the first half and went on to a 54-0 win over Syracuse on November 5, 2016 at Memorial Stadium. The Tigers had just beaten Florida State the previous Saturday in Tallahassee and the team did not have a letdown. The victory was the ninth in a row to open the 2016 season and the 44th in a row over an unranked team for the Tigers. Clemson had 192 yards rushing and 370 passing as the Tigers outgained the Orange 562-277. The Tigers had 28 first downs and controlled the clock for 32:27.

Larry Czonka Nearly a Clemson Tiger? All-time Syracuse great Larry Czonka visited Clemson during his recruiting process in 1963 and had the Tigers in his final four schools. According to his Wikipedia page on the internet, Czonka considered Clemson, Van-derbilt, Iowa and Syracuse. Recruited by Clemson Coach Frank Howard, Czonka would have been a freshman at Clemson in 1964 and then played in 1965-66 and 1967. Even without Czonka, that was a great era in Clemson football history as the Tigers won the ACC all three years. Czonka went on to a great career with the Miami Dolphins and New York Giants. He is a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame and the College Football Hall of Fame.

Clemson Has Nation’s Most Balanced Attack Clemson has one of the most bal-anced attacks in the nation in terms of yardage. Clemson averages 471 yards per game, 237.3 yards rushing and 233.7 passing. The difference in yardage between rushing and passing for the course of the season is just 22 yards. The Tigers have 1424 yards rushing and 1402 yards passing for 2826 total. Clemson is one of just three teams in the nation averaging at least 230 yards rushing and 230 yards passing. Ohio State averages 245 rushing and 322 passing, while Oregon has 239 yards a game rushing and 254 passing. Only two Clemson teams have av-eraged at least 200 yards a game rushing and passing. The 2000 Clemson team led by Woody Dantzler averaged 224 a game on the ground and 213 passing. The 2015 team averaged 223 rushing and 291.5 passing with Deshaun Watson running the offense.

Clemson Will Play a Football Game in New York for Fifth Time Clemson has a 2-1-1 record in the state of New York. The contests have included a 21-6 loss at Army in 1937, a 12-12 tie against Fordham in 1952, a 49-14 win at Syra-cuse in 2013 and a 37-27 win over the Orange in 2015. On October 2, 1937 Clemson lost at West Point, NY by a 21-6 score. Clemson had a sophomore tailback named Banks McFadden, who also served as the Tigers punter that day. He went on to be an All-American for the Tigers in 1939 and later played for the Brooklyn Dodg-ers of the NFL in 1940. Playing in Fordham’s home stadium in 1952 in front of a crowd of 6,000 fans in Randalls Island, NY, Don King made his debut as Clemson’s starting single wing tailback and gained 234 yards on 33 carries. That included a 74-yard run in the first half when he gained 215 of his 234 yards rushing. He was substi-tuting that day for an injured Billy Hair. King was injured late in the first half and was not as effective running the ball in the second half. He had 259 yards positive rushing


CLEMSON at Syracusefor the game and -25 in terms of tackles for loss, mostly in the second half, for his 234 yards total. He attempted six passes, but none were completed. King’s 234 yards rushing are still the record for a Clemson freshman in a single game. Sammy Watkins, who would go on to play a few miles away in Buffalo, NY, had 126 receiving yards, including a 91-yard touchdown reception from Tajh Boyd, in Clemson’s 49-14 win at Syracuse in 2013. It was the first ACC game for the Orange. Two years ago Deshaun Watson threw for 368 yards and ran for 105 in Clemson’s 37-27 victory. The teams combined for five touchdowns in the first period. Charone Peake, who now plays for the New York Jets, had a career high 120 receiving yards on seven catches.

Clemson’s Second Friday Night Game since 1956 This will be Clemson’s second regular season game on a Friday since November 16, 1956. The Tigers played a Friday night game last year at Boston College and came away with a 56-10 victory.

Prior to that game in Boston last year, Clemson had not played a Friday game since that game in 1956 at Miami. Miami (FL) won that game 21-0 in Miami. Prior to last year, the last time Clemson won a Friday night game was in 1952, a 13-0 win over Boston College at Braves Field. Clemson has played more games on Fridays in the regular season over its history than one would think. This will actually be the 44th regular season game in Clemson football history played on a Friday. The Tigers are 24-14-5 in Friday regular season games. Some of Clemson’s best bowl wins in history have come on Fridays. At the top of the list was the Jan. 1, 1982 Orange Bowl win over Nebraska, 22-15. That win gave Clemson its first National Championship. The December 29, 1978 win over Woody Hayes and Ohio State was on a Fri-day, as was a 35-10 victory over defending National Champion Penn State in the Jan. 1, 1988 Florida Citrus Bowl. The 40-35 win over Ohio State on Jan. 3, 2014 was also on a Friday.

Clemson Has Been Productive vs. Syracuse Clemson has been productive against Syracuse since the Orange joined the ACC for the 2013 season. In the four games they have played as Atlantic Division rivals, Clemson has averaged 533 yards per game, includ-ing 179 rushing and 354 passing. Clemson quarterbacks Tajh Boyd, Cole Stoudt and Deshaun Wat-son were a combined 96-132 for 1214 yards, 10 touchdowns and five inter-ceptions. That is a completion percentage of 72.7 percent and a passing efficiency figure of 178.76. Clemson has averaged 82 plays per game and 26 first downs. The Tigers have won the four games by a combined score of 156-47, an average final score of 39-12.

Clemson in Domed Stadiums Clemson has a 9-6 record in domed stadiums over the years. That includes a 4-5 record in the Georgia Dome. Clemson has also played in the Super Dome and in Japan’s Tokyo Dome. Clemson’s first game in a dome was in 1981, the year Clemson won the national cham-pionship, a 13-5 win over Tulane in the Super Dome in New Orleans. Clemson is 1-0 in the Carrier Dome in Syracuse, a 49-14 win in 2013. Clemson won a game in a domed stadium in last year’s Na-tional Championship as well, the 31-0 win over Ohio State in the Fiesta Bowl in Glendale, Arizona. Clemson is 2-0 in the Carrier Dome in football and 1-2 in bas-ketball. Two years ago Clemson defeated a Syracuse team that went to the Final Four on January 5, 2016. The Tigers will return to the Carrier Dome for basketball next March as the Tigers will be the opponent for the Orange on the Syracuse Senior Day. The Clemson men’s basketball team played a game in the Carrier Dome on December 4, 1990, but it was not against Syracuse. As part of the ACC-Big East Challenge, Clemson played Seton Hall in the first game of a doubleheader that night and Seton Hall came away with a 78-62 victory. Syracuse also defeated Clemson on Feb. 9, 2014, 57-44. The Syracuse basketball team was ranked No. 1 entering that contest.

A Clemson athlete has gained a significant victory in the facility. Tina Krebs, perhaps Clemson’s great women’s track athlete in history, won the 1500 meters at the 1985 NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships with a meet record time at the Carrier Dome.

Clemson Seniors Looking for 26th ACC Regular Season Win This group of Clemson seniors has a 25-3 record in ACC regu-lar season games entering Saturday’s game at Syracuse. A victory would give this senior group 26 wins in league play tied for third best in school history. If this class wins its last four games it would set the school record for ACC regular season wins in a four year period. The record is 28-4 by each of the last two senior classes.

Twelve of Renfrow’s 29 receptions have come on third down and 10 of the 12 have given Clemson a first down. The 12 third-down receptions rank tied for fourth best in the nation. The 10 third-down receptions for first down are also fourth most in the nation. Renfrow now has 32 receptions in his career on third down for 335 yards and 24 first downs. He had 13 third-down catches last year for 177 yards and 10 of those went for first downs. So in half a season he has almost as many third down receptions. Last year Mike Williams ranked second in the nation in third down receptions with 32 for 436 yards and 23 first downs. This Friday’s game will be a good matchup of clutch receivers. Ervin Phillips of Syracuse is tied for the national lead in third down recep-tions with 16 for 200 yards. Eleven of his third down catches have been for first downs.

The Renfrow Family Heritage Hunter Renfrow comes by his athletic ability naturally. Ren-frow’s dad, Tim Renfrow was one of the best athletes in the history of


CLEMSON at SyracuseWofford University, a school just 60 miles from Clemson in Spartanburg, SC. When Clemson won the 1981 National Championship the Tigers opened the season against Wofford. Tim Renfrow was a starting defensive back in that game for Wofford and had an interception of starting quar-terback Homer Jordan, who would lead Clemson to the national title at season’s end. Tim Renfrow was a two-sport start at Wofford and was inducted into the Wofford Athletic Hall of Fame in 1992 for his accomplishments in football and baseball. The older Renfrow was an NAIA All-American in football in 1981 and 1982. He was the team MVP both years and one of two team captains in 1982. He still holds the school record for interceptions with 19, including a record eight in 1981. He also has the school record for career punt return yards with 507. He was named to Wofford’s all-time team as a defensive back. He also started three years on the Wofford baseball team and still holds the school record for stolen bases in a season with 39 in 1981 and for a career (84). Clemson Fifth in Touchdown Scoring in the Redzone Clemson has been among the best in the nation when it comes to scoring in the redzone and that includes touchdown percentage. So far this year Clemson has 20 redzone scoring opportunities and the Tigers have converted 19 times, 17 touchdowns and two field goals.

The 85 percent touchdown scoring percentage in the redzone is fifth best in the nation. Louisiana-Lafayette is first with 22 touchdowns in 24 opportunities for 91.7 percent.

Scoring touchdowns in the redzone in 2016 was one of the reasons for Clemson’s National Championship victory. Clemson had 55 redzone touchdowns last year in 76 attempts for a 72.37 success rate, 14th best in the nation.

Clemson’s Improved Ground Gain Clemson has a much more effective running game so far in 2017. Clemson averaged 169.5 rushing yards per game in 2016, but has increased that figure to 237.3 rushing yards per game in 2017. If the season ended today, that average would be the best by a Clemson team since 1995 when the Tigers averaged 245 yards per game. Clemson has 21 rushing touch-downs compared to just two by the opposition. The Tigers had 30 rushing touchdowns in 15 games last year. The Tigers have put together more big plays in the running game as well. The Tigers already have 12 runs of at least 20 yards this year, com-pared to 15 all of the 2016 season

Swinney Looks to Tie Ford Clemson Head Coach Dabo Swinney has a 95-28 record as the Tigers head coach. Swinney is currently third in total victories among Clemson head coaches, but he trails Danny Ford by just one win. Ford was 96-29-4 between 1978-89. Ford will be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in December and will be honored at the Clemson vs. Georgia Tech game October 28.

Clemson Near 50 Percent on Third Down Clemson has converted on 48.9 percent of its third downs so far this year, 11th best in the nation and on pace to be the fourth best percent-age in Clemson history. Last year’s National Championship team converted 50.2 percent of its third down opportunities, second best in school history. The record was set in 1978, the first year the Clemson SID office tracked the stat. That year Clemson converted 99 of 192 third downs, a .516 figure. The quarterback on that team was Steve Fuller. One of the reasons for Clemson’s third down success has been the passing of Kelly Bryant. On third down, Bryant has completed 29 of 46 passes (.630) for 433 yards and two touchdowns touchdown. He has 24 third down passes that have resulted in a first down, seventh in the nation and his 433 passing yards on third down rank 13th.

Tigers Set National Record With its 31-17 victory over Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Va., on September 30, the 2017 Clemson Tigers became the first team to defeat three Associated Press Top 15 teams in the month of September. This was research provided by ESPN immediately following the conclusion of the game. How far back are we talking? You can’t say the history of college football because there weren’t AP polls before 1936. But, since 1936, Clem-son is the first to do it. The Tigers actually came close to the accomplishment in 2011. That year Clemson defeated No. 17 Auburn, No. 19 Florida State and No. 11 Virginia Tech over three consecutive weeks between September 17 and October 1. As far as winning five games in September against any opponent, this is the first time the Tigers have done that since 2000. The fifth win that year also came on September 30, and it was registered at Duke, a 52-22 win. That was a memorable day because it was Bob Bradley’s 500th consec-utive game working for the Clemson sports information office.

Bryant Starts 6-0 Kelly Bryant has been the leader of the Clemson offense so far, averaging 277 yards of total offense per game. He had 94 yards rushing and 186 passing for 280 total in the win over Virginia Tech. He actually got to the 100-yard rushing mark at one point, but got sacked and finished under the century mark. Bryant is the first Clemson starting quarterback to start 6-0 since Tajh Boyd in 2011. Boyd won his first eight games as starter that year, his sophomore season, and that is the Clemson record for consecutive wins as a starting QB to begin a career.

Like Bryant, three of those first five wins for Boyd were over top 25 teams. Bryant does hold the upper hand in that they were top 15 wins (No. 13 Auburn, No. 14 Louisville and No. 12 Virginia Tech).

Bryant ranks 18th in the nation in completion percentage (.673), 19th in rushing touchdowns (7), and 34th in total offense.

Bryant Recognized as Top 8 QB by Manning and O’Brien Awards

Kelly Bryant was named one of the top eight quarterbacks in the nation for week five of the college football season by the Manning Award and the O’Brien Award. Bryant quarterbacked Clemson to a 31-17 win over 12th ranked Virginia Tech on Saturday evening to give the Tigers a 5-0 record. The Tigers are ranked No. 2 in both polls this week.


CLEMSON at SyracuseBryant completed 12 of 21 passes for 186 yards and a touch-

down, and added 94 yards rushing in 19 attempts to finish with 280 yards of total offense. He threw a 60-yard touchdown pass to running back Tavien Feaster for Clemson’s first touchdown.

The victory was the third for Clemson against a team ranked in the top 15 of both polls this season. Bryant is the first quarterback in col-lege football history to start three wins over Associated Press top 15 teams in the month of September. More Than One Bryant Having Big Impact While a guy named Bryant has keyed the Clemson offense, an-other Bryant has been a key for the Clemson defense. Defensive end Austin Bryant had another outstanding game at Virginia Tech with 2.5 tackles for loss and an interception. The interception was the first of his career.

Bryant now has a team best 11 tackles for loss for the season best on the team and his five sacks are also best on the team. Bryant has 32 tackles so far this season, including 28 first hits. The native of Pavo, Georgia is sixth in the nation in tackles for loss per game and 18th in sacks.

O’Daniel Having All-American Season Through six games, no one has more big plays on defense than linebacker Dorian O’Daniel. In consecutive road games against top 15 opponents, O’Daniel returned interceptions for touchdowns. He had a 44-yarder at Louisville, then a 22-yarder at Virginia Tech last week that gave Clemson a 31-10 lead in the fourth quarter and basically put the game away. O’Daniel has been named ACC Linebacker of the Week twice, including the win at Virginia Tech on September 30. O’Daniel became the first Clemson defensive player to have two interceptions for touchdowns in the same year since 1990 when Arlington Nunn had a Clemson record three “Pick 6s”. O’Daniel is the first Clemson defensive player who wears No. 6 to have a “Pick Six.? The last Clemson defensive player with a pair of touchdowns in the same season was Kourtnei Brown, who had an interception return for a score and a fumble return for a score in the same game against North Carolina in 2011. O’Daniel is the first Clemson linebacker with two interception returns for touchdown in the same season in Clemson history. In the win at Virginia Tech he also had a fumble recovery, a sack, and 14 tackles plus a sack and a fumble recovery. He is the first player in Clemson history with at least 10 tackles, an interception return for a score, a sack and a fumble recovery in the same game. For the season O’Daniel leads the team in tackles with 48, has five tackles for loss and two sacks.

Clemson Defense Has Been Dominant Clemson’s defense has been dominant over the six-game winning streak to start the season. The Clemson defense ranks in the top 10 in the nation in scoring defense (5th, 11.3) , total defense (8th, 264.3) , fewest yards per play allowed (6th, 3.87) and sacks (5th, 3.67). Two defenses stand out in Clemson history and this Clemson team certainly compares. The 1990 and 2014 Clemson defenses led the nation in total defense, the only time Clemson has accomplished that No. 1 ranking in that category. The 2014 defense actually led the nation in 11 different categories and eight players off that defense are now on NFL rosters.

Clemson Receivers Approaching the 100 Mark While Clemson does not have a lot of veteran skill position play-ers, it does have three receivers who are at, or nearing the 100-reception mark. Junior receiver Hunter Renfrow reached the 100-mark on his second catch of the opening drive against Virginia Tech, whiile Ray-Ray McCloud reached the milestone with his first catch against Wake Forest. McCloud also went over 1000 receiving yards in his career.

Now Deon Cain is approaching the 100 mark. he has 89 for his three years. He is coming off a game in which he got his 16th career touch-down and has the most yards of the three players with 1550. Friday’s game with Syracuse will be a battle of outstanding receiver groups. Syracuse’s Ervin Phillips has 186 career receptions and Steve Ishmael has 170. The 356 receptions between them rank as the top active duo in the nation.

Clemson Defense Dominant Especially Through 3 Quarters Clemson ranks high in a number of defensive categories so far this year. The Tigers have been especially dominant through three periods. Against Louisville, Virginia Tech, and Wake Forest Clemson gave up two touchdowns in each game in the fourth period after the game has been decided. The Tigers have given up just eight touchdowns all year and six of them were in the fourth quarter of games the Tigers led by at least 20 points. No team has scored more than seven points against Clemson through three periods. As you can see by the chart below, opponents are averaging just 4.3 points, 9.7 first downs, 71 yards rushing, 105 passing yards and 176 yards per game in total offense through three quarters.

Clemson Has Nation’s Longest Winning Streak Clemson is off to a 6-0 start for the third straight year. It is the first time Clemson has started at least 6-0 for three straight years since the 1928-30 era. The Tigers actually started 14-0 in 2015 and 9-0 in 2016. Clemson is one of 13 teams with an undefeated record as we head into October. Eight schools are 6-0 (Alabama, Clemson, Georgia, Penn State, San Diego State, South Florida, Washington and Washington State). The other undefeated teams are Miami (4-0), Navy (5-0), TCU (5-0), UCF (4-0), and Wisconsin (5-0). Clemson is on an 11-game winning streak, the longest active streak in the nation. South Florida is second with 10 in a row and ACC member Miami (FL) is third at nine in a row. Clemson’s 11-Game Winning Streak Clemson has an 11-game winning streak entering the Syracuse game. The Tigers won their last five games last year on the way to the National Championship and the first six so far this year. Oklahoma had the longest active streak at 14 in a row until they were upset at home by Iowa State on October 7. This is the ninth time in history Clemson has had a winning streak of at least 10 games. Recently Clemson had a 17-game winning streak from 2014 to 2015. The Tigers lost the final game of the 2015 season to Alabama in the National Championship game. That ended the 17-game winning streak. The Tigers then won nine in a row before losing to Pitts-burgh, 43-42 at home. Now the Tigers are on an 11-gamer. So Clemson has won 17 in a row, lost one, won nine in a row, lost one, and now won 11 in succession. That means victory in 37 of the last 39. This is the second time Dabo Swinney has had a winning streak of at least 10 games. Danny Ford had three separate streaks of at least 10 games, including a 13-game streak from 1980 through the last game of the 1981 season. Frank Howard had a 15-game winning streak from 1947-49 and was part of a 13-game streak from 1939-40. The first 10-game winning streak took place under John Heisman from 1899 to 1901.

It was the only touchdown of the first three quarters for the Tigers. Clemson quarter-back Kelly Bryant was hit hard and fumbled the ball. Hearn recovered and ran 12 yards for a first down at the Clemson 40. Hearn’s 12-yard run was the longest by a Clemson offensive lineman since 1966 when All-American Clemson guard Harry Olszewski had a 12-yard run for a touchdown against South Carolina in the final game of the season. The Tigers won that game 35-10 to clinch the ACC championship. Hearn was the ACC Offensive Lineman for his play at Louisville earlier this year.

The Fourth Quarter vs. Boston College Clemson outscored Boston College 27-0 in the fourth period. It was the most points scored in the fourth quarter by the Tigers since October 31, 2009 when the Tigers scored 28 points in the fourth period in a 49-3 Clemson win over Coastal Carolina. It was the most points scored by the Tigers in the fourth period of a conference game since 1988 when the Tigers scored 28 in the fourth period at Maryland in a 49-25 win that clinched the ACC championship. It was just the sixth time Clemson scored 27 points or more in the fourth period in Clemson history. Clemson’s fourth period offense featured 11 first downs, 21 rushes for 164 yards and 4-6 passing for 49 yards. Clemson ran 27 plays for 213 yards in the fourth period. Clemson Rushing Offense and Rushing Defense For many years you have heard coaches say it is important to run the ball and stop the run. One stat shows that has been important under Dabo Swinney. The Tigers are now 42-1 under Swinney when rushing for at least 200 yards and have won 38 in a row dating to a loss to Georgia Tech in the 2009 ACC Championship game. Clemson is 3-0 this year in that situation. So far this year Clemson has also stopped the run, allowing just 98.8 rushing yards per game, 13th in the nation. The Tigers are averag-ing 237.3 yards a game rushing, 20th best in the nation.

Tigers Have new Kicker Clemson lost starting kicker Greg Huegel to a torn ACL on the last play of practice on Wednesday, September 20. He was attempting a field goal at the end of a two minute drill, something he had done many times and was run into by an on coming rusher. Huegel is eighth in Clemson history in scoring and has been Clemson’s top scorer in 2015 and 2016. His 138 points and 27 field goals as a freshman in 2015 are school records. The next man up is Alex Spence, a scholarship kick who is a red-shirt junior from Florence, SC and West Florence High School. Spen-ce scored four points on PATs against Boston College in his first game and was not asked to attempt a field goal. He made his first career field goal at Virginia Tech on a 34-yard attempt. He kicked four extra points in the win over Boston College.

Etienne Fifth in Nation in yards/Rush Travis Etienne has 378 yards rushing on just 46 carries so far this year. He had 15-67 in the win over Wake Forest to lead the Tigers in rushing. It marked the fourth time this year he has come off the bench to be Clemson’s top rusher. Etienne’s 8.22 yards per rush rank fifth best in the nation among players who have at least 40 rushing attempts. Etienne had his best game against Boston College when he averaged 12.6 yards a rush thanks to 113 yards in nine attempts. He played just 13 snaps in the game. Eitenne (pronounced E T N) has done all that in just 70 snaps so far this year. FBS Leaders in yards/Rush Rk Player, School Cl GP Att Yds TD Avg 1. Bryce Love, Stanford Jr. 5 118 1240 9 10.51 2.

The Tigers average 35 points a game on offense and give up just 11.3 points per outing. Washingotn leads the nation in scoring margin at +32.8 points per game, ahead of Clemson’s 23.7. Auburn, who Clemson defeated in the second game of the year by a 14-6 score, is now 12th in the country in that category at +22.8 points per game.

The junior had a career high 115 receiving yards in the win over Louisville, just the second 100-yard receiving game of his career. He had those yards on seven catches, the second highest total of his Clemson career. McCloud had a highlight play in that contest, a 79-yard scoring pass from Kelly Bryant. That was the longest pass play for the Tigers since 2013 when Tajh Boyd connected with Sammy Watkins on a 96-yard scoring pass at Charlottesville. McCloud had just two catches against Boston College, but had a 56-yard punt return that led to a fourth-quarter Clemson score. He led Clemson with three receptions at Virginia Tech and has 99 for his career. He had 58 punt return yards against Wake Forest and now ranks 25th in average punt return nationally.

Elliott and Scott Successful at Co-CoordinatorsClemson co-offensive coordinators Tony Elliott and Jeff Scott

were teammates at Clemson from 2000-02. In fact, they were pregame stretch partners during that time. Now they have partnered to make Clemson one of the top offenses in the nation.

They began as co-coordinators for the 2014 Russell Athletic Bowl. They succeeded Chad Morris, who left after the 2014 regular season to become the head coach at SMU. In that first game, the Tigers scored 40 points in a 40-6 win over 25th ranked Oklahoma. That tied for the largest margin of victory in school history over a top 25 team.


CLEMSON at SyracuseElliott and Scott have now been co-coordinators for the Tigers

for 37 games and the Tigers are 35-2 in those games. That includes 13 wins over top 25 teams with just one loss (Alabama in 2015 season National Championship game when Clemson scored 40 points and had over 500 yards). The Tigers have scored at least 40 points in 17 of the 37 games, including twice this year.

Clemson has been very consistent under the co-coordinators who are Clemson graduates. In 2015, Clemson averaged 38.5 points per game to rank 16th in the nation and last year the Tigers were 14th at 39.2 points per game. Clemson averages 35 points a game so far this year. In terms of total offense, Clemson averaged 514.5 in 2015 for the 11th best figure in the nation, 503.7 last year to rank 12th and 471 so far in 2017, 25th in the nation.

Clemson has been very effective early in games since Elliott and Scott became co-coordinators. The Tigers have scored a touchdown on their first possession 13 times in 37 games. That includes three of the six games this year. In the 37 games, Clemson has scored 13 touchdowns, had 13 punts, 2 made field goal, 2 missed field goals, five turnovers, and two fails on fourth downs on the first possession.

Tigers Defense Holds Off Heisman Winner Clemson’s defense was outstanding against Louisville. Through three periods against Clemson’s No. 1 defense, Louisville scored just seven points. With Clemson leading 33-7 entering the fourth period, Lamar Jackson hit his stride against Clemson’s reserves, throwing for 199 yards and two touchdowns in the final 15 minutes. He had 201 of his 381 yards of total offense in the fourth period when Clemson was ahead by at least 20 points. The Tigers finished with five sacks by five different players. One player who stood out was Dorian O’Daniel, who is quickly becoming an ACC Defensive Player of the Year candidate. He had a career high 14 tackles in the win over Auburn when Clemson allowed Auburn just 117 yards of total offense. Then, at Louisville, the cerebral graduate student from Maryland had six tackles, one tackle for loss and a 44-yard interception return for a touchdown. It was his first career touchdown and the first Clemson defensive player to have a “pick 6” while wearing No. 6.

Three Tigers Selected as ACC Player of the Week vs. Louisville Clemson players Kelly Bryant, Taylor Hearn and Will Spiers were all honored by the ACC Sports Media Association as league players of the week for their performances against Louisville. Bryant was select-ed as ACC Back of the Week, Hearn as the top offensive lineman and Spi-ers as the Special Teams Player of the Week for their efforts in Clemson’s 47-21 victory over 14th ranked Louisville. This is the first time since the 2014 Syracuse game that Clem-son has had three ACC Player of the Week selections for the same game. It was the first selection for Bryant, but the 18th time in the last seven years a Clemson quarterback has been named ACC Back of the Week. Tajh Boyd was named nine times between 2011-13 and Deshaun Watson was an eight-time selection from 2014-16. Bryant completed 22-32 passes for 316 yards and a touch-down and added 26 yards rushing and two scores. He guided a Clemson offense that did not commit a turnover and gained 613 yards of total offense, the third most yards in Clemson history against a top 25 team and the fifth highest total for a road game. Bryant completed a 79 yard scoring pass to Ray-Ray McCloud, the longest pass by a Clemson quarter-back since 2013. Hearn won ACC Offensive Lineman of the Week honors for the second time in his career. He was also selected for the Auburn game in 2016. He had five knockdown blocks and graded 92 percent for his 77 plays, helping the Tigers to 297 yards rushing. Spiers was named the ACC Special Teams Player of the Week for the first time as he was playing just his third career game. He had a 51.8 average on four punts, tied for the third best average in Clemson history and best by a Tiger since 1983. Spiers was a major reason Lou-isville’s average starting field position was its own 19-yard-line as three of his four punts were downed inside the 20. Spiers was the first Clemsn punter to win ACC Player of the Week honors since Bradley Pinion in 2014.

Bryant Leads the Clemson Offense Quarterback Kelly Bryant has been outstanding the first six games of the season. During Saturday night’s game against Louisville, Deshaun Watson tweeted, “He will be better than me!” So far Bryant is 107-159 , a 673 completion percentage for 1259 yards and four touchdowns. He has thrown four interceptions and is averaging 7.9 yards per attempt and 11.8 yards per completion. Last year in leading Clemson to the National Championship, De-saun Watson completed 67 percent of his passes for 306 yards per game and averaged 7.9 yards per attempt with 17 interceptions. So, Bryant has completed 67 pecent for 7.9 yards per attempt and 210 yards per game. In the win over Louisville, his first road start and first ACC start, Bryant completed 22-32 passes for a career high 316 yards and a touchdown. He added 26 yards rushing and two scores for 342 yards of total offense, his career high. Most importantly, Bryant was 6-of 9 for 99 yards on third down plays in that game. Both quarterbacks are winners. Watson was 32-3 in his career at Clemson as the starter. Bryant is 6-0 to start his career.

Clemson Has Winning Streak vs. 12 of the 13 ACC Teams Clemson has won 21 of its last 22 games vs. ACC Opponents. That includes a pair of ACC Championship game wins, 2015 vs. North Carolina and 2016 vs. Virginia Tech. Clemson has won its most recent game against 12 of the 13 other ACC teams and a streak of at least two wins against 11 of the 13. The only ACC team that Clemson has not beaten its most recent meeting is Pittsburgh, who defeated the Tigers last year 43-42 on a field goal on the last play of the game. This week Clemson meets Syracuse. The Tigers have won each of the four meetings since the Orange entered the ACC.

Balanced Attack Means Victory Clemson had 297 yards rushing and 316 yards passing for 613


CLEMSON at Syracusetotal in the win over Louisville. Clemson did all that in 81 plays so the Tigers averaged 7.6 yards per play. That kind of balance means victory for the Tigers. Over the history of Clemson football, the Tigers are now 83-0-1 when gaining at least 200 yards rushing and 200 yards passing in the same game. The Louisville game was the second time Clemson has done it this year, as Clemson had over 300 of each for just the fourth time in school history in the season opener against Kent State. Clemson had 342 yards rushing against Boston College, but just 140 yards passing. The only blemish on the record was a 24-24 tie at Georgia Tech in 1976.

Clemson’s 12-Game Road Winning Streak Clemson has won a school record 12 consecutive road games. The win at Louisville broke the school record of 10 that had been set in 1939-40 when Banks McFadden was an All-American for the Tigers. The win at Virginia Tech was the 12th in a row on the opponent’s home stadiuim. Clemson lost its last road game of 2014 at Georgia Tech, then went 5-0 in 2015 and 5-0 in 2016 in true road games. The perfect record on the road last year was quite an accomplishment because the Tigers had to win at Auburn, Georgia Tech and Florida State. Clemson had not won at Auburn since 1950, had not won at Georgia Tech since 2003 and had not won at FSU since 2006, and had one just once since 1989.

His defense was a big reason Clemson won the National Championship. But, it was not a one-year wonder. His Clemson defenses have been outstanding since he came to Clemson in 2012, but that especially has been the case since 2014. In 2014, Clemson led the nation in 11 categories, including total defense, yards per play, yards per pass attempt and pass efficiency defense. Clemson ranks eighth in total defense so far this year, allowing 264 yards per game. Clemson has finished in the top 10 in that area each of the last four years. Clemson is currently fifth in scoring defense at 11.3 points a game. Clemson also finished in the top 10 in 2014 and 2016. The Tigers are seventh in yards per play allowed at 4.09 so far this year. Clemson finished in the top five in that area in 2014 and 2016. Players of the Game by Clemson Coaches After each game Clemson coaches select an offensive, defensive and special teams player of the game. Sometimes there are multiple selections.

The Clemson road roster included 18 freshmen, 23 sophomores, 26 juniors and just five seniors. Seven players on the trip already had their degrees and are considered graduate students, including Justin Falcinelli and Patrick Godfrey who are juniors in terms of athletic eligibility. Eight of the 18 freshmen are in their first year at Clemson. The eight first-year freshmen are Amari Rodgers, Tee Higgins, A.J. Terrell, Travis Etienne, Hunter Johnson, Will Swinney, Justin Foster and Logan Rudolph. In terms of the roster by state, 15 different states were represented among the 72 players. As far as the state breakdown, South Carolina led the way with 26, while 13 of the players were from North Carolina and 12 from Georgia. The rest of the breakdown includes Florida with 4, Virginia 3, Maryland 3, Kansas 2, Tennessee 2, Indiana 1, Louisiana 1, Texas 1, Pennsylvania 1, New York 1, Massachusetts 1 and Alabama 1. Austin Bryant National Defensive Player of the Week vs. Auburn Clemson junior defensive end Austin Bryant was named the National Defensive Player of the week by the Walter Camp Foundation, The Football Writers Association and the Bednarik Award for his perfor-mance against Auburn. Bryant had four sacks and seven total tackles in Clemson’s 14-6 victory. He tied the Clemson record for sacks in a game with the four as he joined Keith Adams (1999 vs. Duke) and Andre Branch (2011 vs. Virginia Tech). Bryant was a major reason Clemson had 11 sacks for negative 72 yards in the win over Auburn. Clemson held Auburn to just 117 yards of total offense, just 15 net yards in the second half. Bryant is the first Clemson defensive player to win the Walter Camp Player of the Week award since Kourtnei Brown was named for his performance against North Carolina in 2011. Renfrow Performs in the Clutch Hunter Renfrow had nine receptions for 62 yards in the victory over Auburn. It was another terrific performance for the junior against teams from the state of Alabama. In Renfrow’s three-year and 32-game career he has four games with at least seven receptions and three of them are against SEC schools from the state of Alabama.

Four times Renfrow made a third-down reception that gave Clemson a first down against Auburn, including a third-and-nine with just two minutes left. That 13-yard gain allowed Clemson to continue to hold on to the ball and run out the clock with an 8-point lead. He had five receptions for first downs overall.

Entering the Syracuse game, Renfrow has 12 third-down, fourth in the nation. Ten of the 12 have gone for first downs.

The one game against an SEC school from Alabama he did not have at least seven receptions, the season opener at Auburn in 2016, he had a 16-yard touchdown reception that proved to be the winning margin in a 19-13 Clemson victory. In four games against SEC teams from the state of Alabama, Renfrow has 29 receptions for 269 yards and five touchdowns. The Tigers are 3-1 in those games. For his career, he has 106 catches for 1,250 yards and 11 touchdowns.

CLEMSON at SyracuseTigers Win Another Top 15 matchup for the Tigers Clemson already has top 15 wins over Auburn, Louisville and Virginia Tech this season. Clemson won all three and is the first team since the AP poll started in 1936 to beat three teams in the top 15 in the month of September. The last team to beat three top 15 teams in their first five games of the season was Notre Dame in 1980. The Tigers are very experienced in big games the last three years. The Virginia Tech game was Clemson’s 11th matchup of top 15 teams in a 32 game period. That dates to October 3, 2015 when 11th ranked Clemson played No. 6 Notre Dame at Clemson in the ABC Satur-day Night game of the week. Clemson is 10-1 in Top 15 matchups over the last three years.

The streak dates to last year’s 42-36 win over Louisville at Clemson. Louisville was ranked third by AP and fourth by USA Today entering that game. Clemson’s last loss to a ranked team was to No. 2 Alabama in the National Champion-ship game at the end of the 2015 season. The Tigers are 13-1 against ranked opponents (ranked in top 25 of either poll, 12-1 vs. AP) since the 2014 bowl win over Oklahoma. The previous Clemson mark for consecutive wins over ranked opponents was five set between 2005-07 under Tommy Bowden and 2014-15 under Dabo Swinney. Clemson’s streak includes wins over third-ranked Louisville, second ranked Ohio State and No. 1 ranked Alabama last year. Clemson had never beaten the No. 1 or No 2 ranked teams before last year. This eight game winning streak against ranked teams is tied for the second longest in ACC history. Florida State had nine in a row from 2012-14 and that is the longest streak in league history. Florida State also had an eight game streak from 1992-93. That streak was ended by Notre Dame in November of 1993 by a 31-24 score.

Tigers Record 11 Sacks vs. Auburn Clemson had 14 tackles for loss, including 11 sacks in the win over Auburn. That tied for the second most sacks in a game by a Clem-son team. The record is 12 sacks against Furman in 1996. The Tigers also had 11 in a win over Utah State in 2004. So, the 11 sacks against Auburn were the most since Dabo Swinney became head coach, and most in school history against a team from a Power Five Conference.

Clemson 42-1 under Swinney With 200 Yards Rushing Clemson has some strong indicators of victory under Dabo Swinney. Some records also go against common theories of football. For instance, Clemson is 14-2 when losing the turnover margin over the last three years. That includes a 3-0 record this year as Clemson lost the turnover margin against Kent State. Auburn and Wake Forest. Rushing for 200 yards is an indicator of victory for the Tigers. Clemson is 42-1 under Swinney when rushing for at least 200 yards and has won 38 in a row dating to a loss to Georgia Tech in the 2009 ACC Championship game. The Tigers have also been outstanding when it comes to leading going into the fourth period. The Tigers are 83-5 under Swinney when leading entering the fourth period, including a 67-2 record since beginning of 2011 season. Clemson’s Record under Dabo Swinney….

And he did it playing just the first 48 offensive snaps of the game. Bryant completed 16 of 22 passes for 236 yards and a touch-down, and added 77 yards rushing in just seven attempts and scored another touchdown. He finished with 313 yards of total offense, one of yard more than Tajh Boyd’s previous opening day mark of 312 yards in the opening game of the 2013 season against Georgia. Bryant had a 61-yard touchdown pass to Deon Cain in the first period and Clemson’s second possession that was right on the mark. Clemson had just four pass plays of 60 yards or more all of last season, but it took Bryant just six plays to accomplish a 60-yard completion. He also had a 47-yard run in the second period to set up another score and finished with an 11-yard average.

Clemson Offense Efficient in Opener All the talk during the preseason was about the players Clem-son had lost on offense from the 2016 National Championship team. Dabo Swinney commented at the annual ACC Football Kickoff in Char-lotte that all his questions were about players who weren’t at Clemson anymore (Deshaun Watson, Mike Williams, etc.) But when the media was asked to whom they wanted to speak after last Saturday’s win over Kent State, 11 of the 12 different players requested were offensive players.


CLEMSON at Syracuse Clemson had 665 yards of total offense against Kent State, most ever in a season opener and fifth most in any game in Clemson history. It was the 19th game in school history in which Clemson had at least 600 yards, but just the fourth in which Clemson had at least 300 yards passing and 300 rushing in the same game. Clemson had a 613 yard game at Louisville for the 20th game of 600 yards. The Tigers had 297 rushing and 316 passing at the 14th ranked Cardinals. The Tigers finished the Kent State game with 312 passing and 353 rushing for the 665 total. The only other games in school history Clemson has had at least 300 of each were against NC State in 2012 (328 rush, 426 pass), Duke in 2012 (334 rush, 384 pass), and Central Michigan in 2007 (341 rush, 315 pass). So, Dabo Swinney has been the head coach in three of the four games Clemson has had at least 300 yards rushing and 300 yards passing. Clemson jumped off to quite a start with two touchdowns in the first five minutes and 21 points in the first period. It was the first time on record Clemson scored two touchdowns in the first five minutes of the season and the first time since 2000 Clemson had at least 21 points in the first period of the season. In terms of game totals, the 56 points were the most in a sea-son opener since 1990 (59-0 win over Long Beach State), and the 665 yards were the most in a season opener in history. The previous record for a season opener total offense was 567 against The Citadel in 1978.

Games Clemson Had 300 Yards Rushing and 300 Yards Passing Clemson had 665 yards of total offense in the season opening win over Kent State. That broke down to 353 rushing and 312 passing. The total offense figure was the fifth best in school history and it marked just the fourth time that Clemson had at least 300 yards rushing and passing in the same game. Clemson came lost at Louisville with 297 rushing and 316 passing.

Nine Clemson Players Ranked among top 125 for 2017While Clemson lost some outstanding players off its 2016

National Championship team, the Tigers do return some talented athletes according to four nationally recognized media agencies. Nine current Clemson players are ranked among the top 125 for 2017 by at least one national service that covers college football.

Six of the nine are on the defensive side of the ball, including three defensive linemen. Six of the nine are either offensive or defensive linemen, indicating the Tigers could be strong in the trenches in 2017. ESPN and XM Radio analyst Tom Luginbill ranked his top offensive and defensive lines nationally in August and had Clemson first at both.

Sophomore defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence is ranked in the top 20 nationally according to all four services. The 2016 unanimous Freshman All-American is ranked as the eighth best overall player in the nation by Sporting News, 12th by Sports Illustrated, 17th by ESPN and 18th by NFL.com. Lawrence set a Clemson true freshman record for sacks last year with seven and ranked second among Clemson defensive linemen in total tackles with 78.

Lawrence’s runningmate at defensive tackle is Christian Wilkins. The junior earned first-team All-America honors last year as a defensive end when he had 56 tackles, including 13 tackles for loss and a Clemson defensive lineman record 10 passes broken up.

Exceeding Expectations Six Years in a Row Clemson has equaled or exceeded its postseason AP and USA Today rankings in comparison to its preseason rankings each of the last six years. That was quite an accomplishment in 2016 as Clemson was No. 2 in the preseason of both polls and had to finish No. 1 to exceed the preseason rankings. Well, the Tigers accomplished that by winning the national championship. Clemson has exceeded its preseason ranking each of the last six years in the USA Today Coaches poll and has exceeded its preseason ranking in the AP poll five of the six. Clemson was picked eighth in the AP preseason poll in 2013 and finished eighth.Dabo Swinney is the first coach in history with a six-year streak in that area. John Cooper of Ohio State and Bill Snyder of Kansas State had five-year streaks.

Dabo Swinney Accomplishments •With the win over Alabama last year Dabo Swinney moved into third place in ACC history in terms of winning percentage. Now 95-28 for a .772 percentage at Clemson, he moved ahead of Danny Ford with the National Championship win over Alabama and is Clemson’s winningest coach on a percentage basis among coaches with at least five years at Clemson. In terms of total wins Swinney is third behind Frank Howard (165) and Ford (96). •Swinney moved into second place on the ACC coaching list for bowl victories with the Alabama win. He now has seven (7-4) and trails only the 11 bowl wins Bobby Bowden won as an ACC coach (1992-2009). •Swinney joined Bud Wilkinson as the only people to play on and serve as head coach of a team that won the Associated Press Nation-al Championship. Wilkinson played on the 1936 Minnesota team that was the first AP National Champion, and was head coach of Oklahoma teams of 1951, 1955 and 1956 that won titles. Swinney played on the 1992 Alabama team that won the AP national title. •Swinney is the first coach to beat his alma mater in a postsea-son game to win the National Championship. At 47 he is the youngest coach to win the National championship since Urban Meyer was 44 when he won the title with Florida in 2008. •Swinney has 23 wins over top 25 teams as Clemson head coach, the most in Clemson history. He broke Danny Ford’s record of 20 when he beat Auburn on September 9. Swinney has 12 top 25 wins the last three years, more than Jess Neely and Frank Howard had combined in their 39 years as Clemson coach. •Swinney is the first Clemson coach to beat the nation’s #1 and #2 teams. He did it in consecutive games to win the National Cham-pionship in the College Football Playoff. •With the victory over Alabama, Dabo Swinney has won six bowl games over coaches who already had a national championship on their resume over the last five years. He is the only coach in college football history to do it in bowl games. •Clemson won 49 games in the last four full years (entering 2017), the most in a four-year period in Clemson history and tied for the most in ACC history. The current Clemson senior class has 40 wins and needs nine more to tie the school record of 49 by the 2016 seniors.

Poll Streaks Clemson has been ranked in the top 25 in each of the last 42 AP polls, the third longest active streak in the nation. But, 30 of those rankings have been in the top five, the longest active streak of top fives in the nation. Alabama is second with a 28-poll streak in the top five. Clemson’s 30-poll streak of top 10 rankings is tied for first with Alabama Clemson has been ranked in 97 of the 104 polls since the 2011 season, third best in the nation. Only Alabama has been ranked in every poll over the last six years, 104-104. Oklahoma is second with 100 poll appearances. In terms of appearances in the College Football Playoff polls, Clemson has been in the top 25 of all 19 held so far in the three years of the system. Clemson, Alabama, Ohio State, Florida State and Utah are the five schools that have been in all 19 polls over the last three years. Clemson was ranked No. 1 in all six polls in 2015. Ironically, Clemson was never No. 1 in any College Football Playoff poll in 2016, but then won the National Championship.

Swinney Signs New ContractClemson University and Head Football Coach Dabo Swinney

have agreed to a new eight-year contract through 2024, the athletic department announced August 25, 2017. The terms of the contract were approved by the Clemson University Board of Trustees Compensation Committee.

“Dabo’s impact on our football program, our university and our community is immeasurable and goes well beyond the on-field successes and national championship,” said Director of Athletics Dan Radakovich. “This new agreement demonstrates our strong commitment to Dabo and our confidence in his leadership now—and in the future—and his long-term commitment to Clemson. We are thrilled that he and his family will be a part of the Clemson Family for years to come.”

Swinney has compiled an 89-28 record over his first nine seasons (eight full seasons) in Clemson, earning the Bear Bryant National Coach of the Year Award in 2015 and 2016 and the Atlantic Coast Conference Coach of the Year honors in 2009 and 2015. The Tigers have posted a 54-15 record in Atlantic Coast Conference games since Swinney took over, and advanced to postseason bowls every year. The Tigers captured the 2016 College Football Playoff National Championship after playing in the title game in 2015, and have recorded an impressive 70-13 record over the past six seasons.

During Swinney’s nine seasons, 157 of 162 senior lettermen have earned their degrees, including eight current members of the football team. His teams have finished among the nation’s Top 10 in the NCAA’s Academic Progress Report five of the past six years, and a school-record 58 football student-athletes posted a grade point average of 3.0 or above during the 2017 spring semester.

“I want to thank President Clements, Dan Radakovich and his team, the Board of Trustees, and the entire Clemson family,” Swinney said. “My family and I have been extremely blessed to be part of such an incredible university and community for the past 14 years. This contract makes a strong statement. It is a mutual commitment reflective of the program we have built and continue to build at Clemson. The Clemson family does so much to support our program and I couldn’t be more proud to be your head coach.”

Swinney Has Beaten National Championship Coach Five Years in Row When Dabo Swinney and the Tigers defeated Urban Meyer and


CLEMSON at Syracusethe Ohio State Buckeyes on New Year’s Eve, it gave Swinney a bowl win in five consecutive seasons. But these are not run of the mill bowl wins. Swinney became the first coach in college football history to defeat a coach in a bowl game who already had a national championship on his resume.He then added to the accomplishment by beating Nick Saban and Alabama in the National Championship game in Tampa. Clemson has five wins in bowl games over teams ranked in the top 10 in the nation over the last five years, more than any other school. Alabama is second with four wins over top 10 teams in bowl games since 2012. Clemson has more top 10 wins in bowl games over the last five years than all the other ACC teams combined. Florida State has two, Georgia Tech has one and Louisville has one since 2012.

Swinney 6th Winningest Active Coach Clemson Head Coach Dabo Swinney is the sixth among active coaches in terms of winning percentage (min. 5 years). Swinney has a 95-28 overall record as a head coach, a .772 percentage. He is just behind Nick Saban’s .775 figure. Urban Meyer is first at .850 and Chris Petersen of Washington is second at .828. It is interesting to note that Swinney defeated three of the five coaches ahead of him in the rankings last season, Meyer, Fisher and Saban. Those three coaches are ranked in the top three of the pre-season poll for 2017 and Swinney and the Tigers handed each their final loss of 2016. Swinney has defeated six of the other nine coaches on the list since 2013. With 11 wins this year, Swinney can become just the fourth coach to win 100 games in his first 10 years. He had 89 entering the season. Only Bob Stoops, Chris Petersen and Urban Meyer have had 100 wins in their first 10 years. He is already tied for ninth in FBS history.

Swinney Has Seven Bowl Wins in Nine Years Clemson Head Coach Dabo Swinney has coached in four bowl games the last two years and has won three of them, all over top four ranked teams. Swinney now has seven bowl wins in his relatively short Clemson career, the most in Clemson history and the second most in ACC history. With the wins over Ohio State and Alabama in the College Football Playoff, Swinney became Clemson’s career leader in bowl wins,

breaking the previous mark of six held by Danny Ford. Ford and Frank Beamer of Virginia Tech were tied for second behind the 11 of Bobby Bowden entering this year. But Swinney now has seven, including five over top 10 teams over the last five years, most in the nation.

Dabo Swinney’s 23 Ranked Wins over Top 25 Teams Dabo Swinney has 23 wins over top 25 teams in his Clemson career. He broke Danny Ford’s record of 20 with the win over Auburn on September 9. Ford had a 20-12-2 record against Top 25 teams from 1978-89. Swinney has recorded 12 wins over top 25 teams over the last three years, four in 2015, five in 2016 and three this year. That includes six top 10 wins, four of whom are top five. For his nine seasons as Clemson coach, Swinney has six top five wins, 12 top 10, 18 top 15, and 18 top 20. Only 8 of the 23 have been at home, five on the opponent’s home field and 10 at neutral site. Swinney is 12-1 over the last three years against top 25 teams with the only loss coming to Alabama by five points in the National Championship game at the end of the 2015 season. The 47 points scored against Louisville were the most for the Clemson program against a ranked opponent since 2001 at Georgia Tech.

Swinney Joins Wilkinson with Rare Distinction When Clemson Head Coach Dabo Swinney won the National Championship as head coach over Alabama, he joined Bud Wilkinson as the only coaches to have played on an AP National Championship team and served as head coach of an AP National Championship team. Swinney played on Alabama’s 1992 season National Champi-onship team as a wide receiver. That team defeated Miami (FL) for the ti-tle in the 1993 Sugar Bowl. Now Swinney has a chance to lead Clemson to the national title as head coach. Wilkinson played as a quarterback on the University of Minnesota’s 1936 team that was proclaimed national champion by the Associated Press in 1936. That was the first year of the AP poll. As a head coach at Oklahoma, Wilkinson led the Sooners to AP national titles in 1950, 1955 and 1956. Two other coaches have national championships as players and as coaches on their resume’s, but the titles are not recognized by the Associated Press. Frank Leahy played at Notre Dame under Knute Rockne from 1928-30 and the Irish won the national championship in 1929 and 1930 according to the Helms Foundation, the top poll in that area. The AP poll had not started yet. He later coached Notre Dame to AP national titles in 1943, 46, 47, 49. Bear Bryant played on an Alabama team in 1934 that was recognized as a national champion by some organizations, but again the AP poll hadn’t started yet. He coached Alabama to AP titles in 1961, 64, 65, 78, 79.

Clemson Team Academic Notes of 2016-17•Thirteen Clemson football student-athletes, including five

All-Americans, earned their undergraduate degrees during graduation ceremonies at Littlejohn Coliseum in December, 2016. The All-Ameri-cans who earned degrees were Deshaun Watson, Mike Williams, Jordan Leggett, Ben Boulware and Carlos Watkins. It marked the first time in Clemson football history five on the field All-Americans graduated in the same day.

•An additional three players had received their undergraduate degrees prior to the 2016 season, so 16 Clemson players already had their undergraduate degree when Clemson won the National Champion-ship on January 9.

•Clemson had four team members named to the Academic All-ACC team in 2016. That list included Deshaun Watson, Ben Boulware, Christian Wilkins and Dexter Lawrence. The first three student-athletes were All-Americans on the field and Lawrence was named a unanimous freshman All-American. •In Coach Dabo Swinney’s time as Clemson head coach he has had 162 seniors and 157 of them have earned their college degrees. •Clemson is the only school in the nation to rank in the top 15 of APR scores and in the top 15 of both college football polls each of the last six years. •Clemson ranked second to Stanford nationally in academic success in a ranking of the top 25 college football teams for 2016. The academic ranking is based on the graduation success rate. •Forty-eight members of the Clemson football team made the academic honor roll during the fall of 2016 when the Tigers were making their run to the National Championship, tied for the most in any semester in Clemson history. Then, in the spring 58 made the list, the most in any semester in Clemson history. •A total of 103 underclassmen filed for the 2017 NFL draft. Eight of the 103 had their college degrees when they filed. Four of the eight played for Clemson in 2016 (Wayne Gallman, Deshaun Watson, Artavis Scott and Mike Williams). •Twenty-nine former Clemson football players who played their senior year at Clemson were on NFL rosters in 2016. Twenty-five of them have their degree from Clemson a .862 graduation rate. •Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson was the recipient of the 2016 Bobby Bowden Award. It is presented each year to the top student-athlete in college football. •Watson also won a Weaver-James-Corrigan honorary scholar-ship from the Atlantic Coast Conference in 2017. He was the only male student-athlete at Clemson so honored and one of just six football players in the ACC to win the award. •Eight current Tigers already have undergraduate degrees. Those players are Ryan Carters (starting CB), Marcus Edmond (starting CB), Justin Falcinelli (starting center), Tyrone Crowder (starting OG), Dorian O’Daniel (starting LB), Pat Godfrey (reserve center), D.J. Green-lee (reserve TE), and Marverick Morris (reserve OL).

Lawrence and Wilkins Named Preseason AP All-AmericansClemson starting defensive tackles Dexter Lawrence and Chris-

tian Wilkins were both been named to the Associated Press Preseason All-America team in August. Lawrence was named first-team and Wilkins second-team according to the panel of media from around the nation who vote in the Associated Press poll.

Lawrence was the ACC Freshman Defensive Player of the Year in 2016 when he had 78 tackles, fifth on the team. He had seven sacks, a Clemson true freshman record, and 9.5 total tackles for loss. He added 23 quarterback pressures, second on the team, in playing all 15 games for Clemson’s National Championship team. He was a unanimous Fresh-man All-American as well.

Wilkins was first-team All-American according to the Football Writers of America and the American Football Coaches Association, a second-team selection by USA Today, Sporting News and Walter Camp,

and a third team choice by Associated Press. He was a finalist for the Bronko Nagurski Award. This year he is a Watch List selection for nine different awards, more than any other ACC player.

Wilkins had 56 tackles from his defensive end position in 2016 and had 13 tackles for loss, 3.5 of which were sacks. The junior from Springfield, Mass. had 10 pass deflections, a school record for a defensive lineman. Clemson is 28-2 for the two seasons he has been a starter.

Cain Seventh in Yards/Reception in Clemson History Despite starting just one game in the last two years, junior re-ceiver Deon Cain has 89 career receptions for 1550 yards and 16 touch-downs. His 17.4 yards per catch average is seventh on a career basis in Clemson history. He had a 61-yard touchdown reception from Kelly Bryant in the opener against Kent State. He had another TD reception in the Wake Forest win.

Last year as backup to first-round draft pick Mike Williams, Cain had 38 receptions for 724 yards and nine touchdowns. That computes to a 19.1 yards per catch figure, best on the 2016 National Championship team. The native of Tampa, Fla. is 21st in ACC history in yards per catch entering the 2017 season, best among active ACC players.

First on the list is Martavis Bryant, currently of the Pittsburgh Steelers with a 22.2 average for his Clemson career from 2011-13. The players who rank 8-10 (Dwight Clark, Bill Mathis and Charlie Waters) all won Super Bowl Championship rings.

Wilkins Named to Watch List for ACC High 9 AwardsClemson defensive tackle Christian Wilkins is on watch lists for

an ACC high nine national postseason awards. Second is Derwin James of Florida State with six, while Harold Landry of Boston College, Jordan Whitehead of Pittsburgh and Quin Blanding of Virginia have five apiece.

Wilkins is listed as a preseason candidate for the Bednarick, Lott and Nagurski Awards that go to the top defensive player in the nation. He was a finalist for the Nagurski last year. He is also on the watch list for the Wuerffel Award and for the AFCA Goodworks team that combine excellence on the field, in the classroom and community service.

The junior who expects to graduate in December is also a can-didate for the Maxwell and Walter Camp Awards that go to the national player of the year, and the Outland Trophy, which goes to the top interior lineman in the nation. Finally, he is a candidate for the Paul Horning Award, which goes to the nation’s top all-purpose player.

Six other Clemson players are on at least one watch list. Soph-omore defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence is a candidate for the Bednarik, Nagurski, Walter Camp and Outland Trophy. Deon Cain is on the list for the Biletnikoff (top receiver) and Greg Huegel is on the list for the Groza Award, which goes to the nation’s top kicker.

Tyrone Crowder and Mitch Hyatt are on the watch list for the Outland Trophy and Kendell Joseph is on the list for the Butkus Award, which goes to the nation’s top linebacker.

Two-time Defending ACC Champion Clemson has won the ACC Championship each of the last two season, the first time the program has done that since the 1986-88 era when Clemson won three in a row. Clemson is one of five programs to win its conference cham-pionship each of the last two years. The others are Alabama, Oklahoma, San Diego State and Arkansas State. Alabama is the only school in the nation to win three conference championships in succession. Dabo Swinney’s Tigers have captured three league titles in the last six years. Arkansas State leads the nation in conference titles since 2011 with five, while Alabama is second with four. Clemson, Stanford, San Diego State, Northern Illinois, Oklahoma and Florida State all have three over the last six years.

Relatively Speaking Clemson’s 2017 roster has many connections to college foot-ball. Nine members of the roster alone are offspring of former Clemson players and nine more have fathers or brothers who play or played college football. Only Michigan also has nine current players who are offspring of players who were on the school’s football team. Below is a list of the connections:

•Kelly Bryant, QB—Cousin, Martavis Bryant is former Clemson receiver who is with the Pittsburgh Steelers. •Mark Fields, CB—Father, Mark Fields, played for the Carolina Panthers of the NFL. •Brian Dawkins, Jr., CB—Son of former Clemson All-American and nine-time NFL Pro Bowl safety Brian Dawkins. •Hunter Renfrow, WR—Father played football and baseball at Wofford College and once had an interception of a Homer Jordan pass

against Clemson in 1981. •Jack Swinney, WR—Nephew of Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney. •Will Swinney, WR—Son of Clemson Head Coach Dabo Swin-ney.

Danny Ford Named to College Football Foundation Hall of FameFormer Clemson Head Coach Danny Ford was named to the

2017 National Football Foundation Hall of Fame Class on the day Clem-son defeated his alma mater to win the National Championship (Jan. 9, 2017)

Ford is one of three coaches in the 2017 Hall of Fame class. He will be joined by former Duke, Florida and South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier and former Mount Union Coach Larry Kehres.

Ford is the fourth former Clemson head coach to be named to the National Football Foundation College Football Hall of Fame. The others are John Heisman, Jess Neely, and Frank Howard. Former Clemson players in the Hall of Fame are Banks McFadden, Terry Kinard and Jeff Davis.

Ford coached Clemson from 1978-89 and posted a record of 96-29-4. The highlight of his Clemson tenure took place in 1981 when the Tigers posted a 12-0 record and defeated Nebraska, 22-15, in the 1982 Orange Bowl to win the school’s first National Championship.

Ford was just 33 years, seven months and 30 days at the time of the win over Nebraska and he is still the youngest coach to win the National Championship

Ford was just 30 years old when he took over as Clemson Head Coach in December of 1978. In his first game he defeated Hall of Fame Coach Woody Hayes and Ohio State, 17-15, in the 1978 Gator Bowl. In 1979 he coached Clemson to a 16-10 victory at Notre Dame, and he is still the second youngest coach to win at Notre Dame Stadium.

Clemson had an 86-25-4 record in the 1980s and the .765 winning percentage was the fifth best in college football. The other nine coaches in the top 10 in winning percentage in that decade are all in the Hall of Fame.

Ford was especially effective in bowl games as he posted a 6-2 record. Five of the six wins were over coaches already in the Hall of Fame, including Hayes, Tom Osborne of Nebraska, Joe Paterno of Penn State and Barry Switzer of Oklahoma, all coaches who won the National Championship. Ford was 23-8-1 head-to-head as Clemson head coach against coaches who are already in the Hall of Fame. That includes a 2-1 record against Hall of Fame classmate Steve Spurrier.

In his 11 full years as Clemson head coach, Ford won five ACC Championships and had seven top 25 teams. He coached 21 different players who earned All-American honors. Many of his players went on to fame in the NFL, including 10 who combined to win 13 Super Bowl Championships. The 1969 Alabama graduate is third in ACC history in career winning percentage with a .763 mark. Ford is a member of the Clemson Hall of Fame and was inducted into the school’s Ring of Honor in 2013.

Clemson Offensive Line Named to Joe Moore Award Honor Roll

NEW YORK, NY--The Foundation for Teamwork has announced the Mid-Season Honor Roll for the Joe Moore Award, which identifies notable performances by offensive line units in games played through October 7. The OL units from the following universities, with a combined record of 100-19, earned a spot on the Honor Roll (in alphabetical order): Alabama, Auburn, Buffalo, Clemson, Georgia, Miami, Navy, North Carolina State, New Mexico, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Oregon, San Diego State, SMU, Stanford, TCU, Virginia Tech, Washington, West-ern Michigan, and Wisconsin. The Clemson offensive line is veteran with four returning start-ers from last year. The one who is not a returning starter is center Justin Falcinelli, who has graded in the 90s in five of the six games so far. Mitch Hyatt made first team All-ACC as a sophomore last year, the first Clemson sophomore offensive lineman to make first-team All-ACC. He is an All-American candidate for this year. Hyatt and Tyrone Crowder give Clemson two returning first team All-ACC offensive lineman for the first time since 1967, 50 years ago. Hyatt has started every game but one the last three years (35 of the last 36) and Crowder has started 33 of the last 36. Taylor Hearn is an athletic guard who had a 12-yard run earlier this year against Boston College. He leads all offensive linemen in yards per rush in Clemson history (tongue in cheek). In all seriousness it was the longest run by a Clemson offensive lineman since 1966 when Harry


CLEMSON at SyracuseOlszewski scored on a 12 yard run with a mid air fumble recovery for a touchdown against South Carolina. The Joe Moore Award Mid-Season Honor Roll includes units that display a high level of toughness, effort, teamwork, consistency, technique, and “finishing”. The Voting Subcommittee uses game film and coach submitted cut-ups on The DragonFly Division I Network as the primary OL Unit evaluation tool. Advanced OL data and statistics are provided by STATS LLC, which helps to support the film evaluation process by highlighting key situations and moments over the course of the season. “The O-line position is much more technical than some real-ize. So when we watch the film, we’re looking to see which units not only use good technique, but also for those that display a willingness to com-pete, finish, and set the tone for their offense,” said Cole Cubelic, who is the current Chairman of the Joe Moore Award Voting Subcommittee, a sideline analyst for the SEC Network and played offensive line for Auburn 1996-2001. “Its early in the season, and it takes a while for units to get going, so we are especially working to identify groups that can do this consistently every game.” “There’s a good chance there’s not a single OL coach in the country that’s happy with how their Unit is playing. That’s just their na-ture. But the teams on the Mid-Season Honor Roll caught the attention of the Subcommittee for good reason,” said Aaron Taylor, CBS CFB Analyst and Team Captain of the Joe Moore Award. “As in years past, this award won’t be earned until November, the time when college football matters most. As the season progresses, the bar will be raised along with the stakes, and all of these units have a lot of work to do in order to earn this year’s title of Most Outstanding Offensive Line Unit in college football.”

GAME STATS

CLEMSON, S.C. – The No. 5 Clemson Tigers opened the 2017 season in grand fashion by defeating the Kent State Golden Flashes 56-3 at Memorial Stadium, with the 56 points marking the highest scor-ing output by the Tigers in a season opener since 1990. Led by junior quarterback Kelly Bryant, who was making his first career start, Clem-son compiled 665 yards on offense in the Tigers’ first game as defending national champions. Bryant was especially efficient on the day, accruing 313 total yards, a pro-gram record for an opening game. Going 16-22 through the air for 236 yards, Bryant set the tone early by marching the Clemson offense down the field on three consecutive scoring drives in the first quarter. Running back C.J. Fuller struck first, scor-ing on a 26-yard run. On the ensuing drive, Bryant connected with wide receiver Deon Cain up the seam for a 61-yard touchdown, putting Clemson up 14-0. Late in the first, running back Adam Choice capped off a 10-play, 54-yard drive with a three-yard rushing touchdown, one of six rushing scores on the day for the Tigers. With 353 yards on the ground and four rushers clearing the 50-yard mark, the run-ning game was an integral factor behind Clemson’s commanding victory. Bryant proved to be effective with his feet, as well as his arm, as the quarterback amassed a career-high 77 yards rushing

and scored on an eight-yard run late in the second quarter to send the Tigers into the half leading 28-3.

The second half saw several new faces for Clemson become involved in the offensive action as part of another 28-point half. True freshman running back Travis Etienne burst onto the scene with an impressive 54-yard carry and a four-yard score. Finish-ing as the game’s leading rusher, Etienne compiled 81 yards on the ground. Freshman quarterbacks Zerrick Cooper and Hunter Johnson made an impact, with the two newcomers splitting time in the second half and playing well. Cooper, who went 4-6 for 37 yards, made a splash with a 14-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Cornell Powell in the third quarter, which served as the first career touchdown for both Cooper and Powell. The running game continued to pay divi-dends for the Tigers out of the half, as the Tigers increased their lead to 42-3 early in the third quarter by way of Fuller’s second rushing score of the contest and a 47-yard dash to the end zone by sophomore running back Tavien Feaster soon afterward. Limiting Kent State to 120 yards of total offense, including one passing yard, the Tiger defense produced a complete perfor-mance in the win. Kendall Joseph led the Clemson defenders with eight tackles.


GAME 2

CLEMSON, S.C. – Powered by a defense that sacked Au-burn’s quarterback 11 times, the No. 3 Clemson football team defeated No. 13 Auburn 14-6 at Death Valley on Saturday night. With the win, Clemson improves to 2-0 on the year, while Auburn drops to 1-1.

Junior quarterback Kelly Bryant led the offensive charge for Clemson, passing for 181 yards and rushing for 68. On defense, Clemson was sparked by Dorian O’Daniel, whose 14 tackles—10 in the first half—were a career high for the redshirt graduate linebacker. Junior defensive lineman Christian Wilkins added another 10 tackles, and junior defensive end Austin Bryant had four of Clemson’s 11 sacks.

Auburn scored the only points of the first quarter just under eight minutes in on a Daniel Carlson 24-yard field goal that capped off the first drive. They doubled their lead early in the second quarter, this time on a 28-yarder by Carlson.

GAME STATS

Following the Bryant score, Clemson had a 7-6 lead at halftime.

Bryant opened the scoring in the second half, capping off Clemson’s first drive of the half with a 27-yard rushing touchdown to give his squad a 14-6 lead early in the third quarter. That proved to be the final score, as the Clemson’s seven second-half sacks limited Auburn to 15 total yards with -25 rushing yards in the second half.
