Clemson Football Schedule for 2012Clemson will open and close the 2012 football season against SEC teams and will play host to four teams who won at least eight games in 2011 according to the 2012 schedule released by the Atlantic Coast Conference. Clemson is the only ACC team to play two non-conference games against SEC foes. The Tigers open the 2012 season against Au-burn in the Georgia Dome in the Chick-fil-A Kick-off Classic. Clemson opens defense of its ACC championship at Florida State on September 22. All kickoff times will be released at a later date. The Thursday game at Wake Forest on Oc-tober 25 will be a night game. Overall, Clemson will play seven games at home, four on the road and the Auburn game at the neutral site in Atlanta. Clemson will finish the season with three straight home games for just the third time since 1975. Clemson’s home schedule includes appearances by Georgia Tech (8-5), Virginia Tech (11-3), NC State (8-5) and South Carolina (11-2). Clemson and Auburn will meet for the third straight season when the two schools with the same mascot face off at the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Classic at the Georgia Dome. Auburn defeated Clemson at Auburn in overtime in 2010, on the way to the National Championship, while Clemson defeated Auburn last year, 38-24, at Clemson, a big boost to Clemson’s ACC Championship season run. Clemson’s victory last year broke a 14-game losing streak to Auburn and the Auburn Tigers 17-game overall winning streak, the longest in the nation at the time. This will be just the second time in the last 10 years that Clemson has not opened the season at home. The only other time in that span was in 2008 when Clemson opened the season in At-lanta against Alabama. Clemson will open its home schedule Sep-tember 8 when Ball State comes to Clemson. The Cardinals are led by senior linebacker Travis Free-man, who ranked ninth in the nation in tackles last season. Furman and Clemson will renew an old rival-ry on September 15. The two schools played in the first game in Clemson history on October 31, 1896 in Greenville. This will be Furman’s first game against the Tigers since the 2007 season. Clemson will open its ACC schedule Septem-ber 22 in Tallahassee against Florida State. The winner of this game has won the Atlantic Division of the ACC each of the last three years. Clemson won last year at Clemson by a 35-30 score. The Tigers have won five of the last seven against the Seminoles. The Tigers will head north the following weekend to face Boston College. Clemson has a 10-9-2 lead in the close series with the Eagles and has won just once in Boston since 1952. That victory came in 2008 in Coach Dabo Swin-ney’s first victory as Clemson head coach. Clemson will have just one road game in the month of October. The Tigers open the month with a home game against league rival Georgia

Tech. The Yellow Jackets have beaten Clemson five of the last six meetings, but the Tigers did win the last time the two teams met in Death Valley, a 27-13 Clemson victory in 2010. Clemson will have two weeks to prepare for Virginia Tech. The defending Coastal Divi-sion Champions come to Clemson October 20. The Tigers beat Virginia Tech twice last year, including a 38-10 victory in the ACC Championship game in Charlotte. This will be Virginia Tech’s first trip to Clemson since 2007. Clemson will have just four days to prepare for Wake Forest, as the Tigers will meet the De-mon Deacons in Winston-Salem, NC for an Octo-ber 25 Thursday night game that will be televised nationally by ESPN. The Tigers will play their final road game of the year on November 3 when they travel to Dur-ham, NC to face Duke. It will be the first meeting between the two schools since 2008. As stated above, Clemson’s last three games will be at home. Clemson will play host to Mary-land on November 10. The schools played a wild 56-45 game in College Park last year that was won by the Tigers. Clemson will be looking to beat Maryland three in a row for the first time since the 1993-2000 era. NC State will be looking for a win in Death Valley for the first time since 2002 when the Wolfpack come to Clemson for the final ACC reg-ular season game. The Pack defeated Clemson 37-13 in Raleigh last year to end a seven-game winning streak for the Tigers in the series. Clemson concludes the regular season on November 24 when state rival South Carolina comes to Clemson.

Quote from Head Coach Dabo Swinney

“This is a challenging schedule with two non-conference games against very good SEC teams and the eight ACC games. We are the only ACC school to play two games against SEC teams and two of our divi-sion cross over games are with Virginia Tech and Georgia Tech, who won 19 games between them last year. “I like where the open date falls because it is virtually in the middle of the season. It will be a difficult finish, but all three of those games are at home. “Our administration approved us to have a home Thursday night game, but it did not hap-pen this year. We have to play Wake Forest on a Thursday night on four days rest, but they will be in the same situation. “We play Florida State very early in the sea-son, our first ACC game in fact. That will be an early season test for sure.“

The winner of the Clemson-Florida State game has gone to the ACC Championship in each of the previous three seasons.



The 2011 Clemson football season was one of great accomplishment. For the first time in 20 years the Tigers won the Atlantic Coast Conference Championship with a 38-10 victory over defending champion and third ranked Virginia Tech. It resulted in a berth in the FedEx Orange Bowl, Clemson’s first BCS Bowl appearance. The Tigers defeated four top 25 teams in the same season for the first time in history, including two top 10 wins away from home and three wins over top 11 teams. The Tigers downed Auburn for the first time in 60 years, defeated Virginia Tech for the first time in 22 years, and registered a perfect 7-0 record at home, Clemson’s first undefeated home record since 1990. Clemson won 10 games for the first time in 21 years. So what are the prospects for Clemson repeating as ACC Champions and making a second straight appearance in a BCS Bowl? Dabo Swinney’s Tigers return 49 lettermen, 22 on offense, 24 on de-fense and four special teams players. The top seven rushers, eight of the top nine receivers and first-team All-ACC record setting quarterback Tajh Boyd return to lead the offense. Clemson also returns first-team All-American Sammy Watkins, near 1000-yard receiver wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins and running back Andre Ellington. Clemson is one of just three schools nationally to return a 3000-yard passer, a 1000-yard rusher and a 1000-yard receiver. The defense returns six of the top eight tacklers, including leader Rashard Hall, and defensive end Malliciah Goodman, who has a chance to continue Clemson’s outstanding defensive line tradition. Clemson has a new leader of the defense from a coaching standpoint as former Oklahoma coordinator Brent Venables has joined Swinney’s staff. He brings an incredibly strong resume to Clemson after helping the Sooners to a national championship and seven Big 12 titles. He has coached in 16 bowl games in 16 years as an assistant coach at Oklahoma and Kansas State combined. The question concerning the Tigers entering 2012 will be experience in the offensive and defensive lines. Clemson must replace three starters from an offensive line that helped the Tigers establish school records for points, touchdowns, total offense and passing offense. The same goes for the defensive line where seniors Andre Branch, Bran-don Thompson and Rennie Moore helped the Tigers to an ACC title by allowing Virginia Tech just 13 points and one touchdown in 120 minutes of football. Branch was a second-team All-American and Thompson a second-team All-ACC tackle. Both are projected to be first or second-round NFL draft picks.

“The biggest question with our team entering the year will be the of-fensive and defensive lines,” said Swinney, who has taken Clemson to an ACC title, two Atlantic Division titles and two top 25 seasons in his three full seasons as head coach. “We have talented young players competing to move into those vacant positions, but they obviously lack experience.” Clemson does have an experienced senior leader on each line. Dalton Freeman is a returning first-team All-ACC player from last year who was a fi-nalist for the Dave Rimington Award as the top center in the nation. Goodman returns to lead the defensive line after he recorded 59 tackles, including 43 first hits and four quarterback sacks. He also had 14 quarterback pressures. “We will look for Dalton and Malliciah to serve as leaders of not only the lines, but their respective units. We only have 11 scholarship seniors on the entire team so their leadership will be very important. But, we feel they can handle this role. They have both been on two Atlantic Division championship teams and know what it takes to be successful and can communicate that to their young teammates. To achieve similar accomplishments for the second consecutive year, the Tigers will have to navigate a difficult slate of games. The year begins with the “rubber match” of a three-game series with Auburn that will be played in the Georgia Dome in Atlanta on September 1. The Tigers also face state rival South Carolina in the season finale. Clem-son is the only ACC team to play two games against SEC opponents. The ACC schedule includes Virginia Tech, the defending Coastal Division champions, who won 11 games last year, and Atlantic Division rival Florida State. The Ti-gers must go to Tallahassee in September. The winner of the Clemson-Florida State game has won the Atlantic Division each of the last three seasons. “We have a difficult schedule,” said Swinney. “We must be ready to go from the opening kickoff with Auburn as the opener. But, in some ways it is a good thing because there will be a sense of urgency throughout the summer workouts and for the first day of preseason practice in August.”

Offense (7 Starters Returning) Clemson returns three first-team All-ACC performers from an offense that averaged a school record 440.8 yards a game and scored a record 58 touchdowns and 470 total points. This is the first time since 1978 that Clemson has returned three first-team All-ACC players on offense. That 1978 team posted an 11-1 record and finished sixth in the final polls. Tajh Boyd quarterbacked the Tigers to 10 wins in his first year as a starter, tying the school record (Chris Morocco 1989) for wins by a starting

quarterback in his first year at the helm. The junior from Hampton, VA set school records for completions (298), passing yards (3,828), total offense (4,046) and touchdown passes (33). He set an ACC record for touchdown responsibility in a season (38). He was the first Clemson sophomore quarter-back to make first-team All-ACC since 1957 when Harvey White was named first-team all-conference under Frank Howard. “Tajh had an excellent sophomore year. He is a very hard worker and made so much improvement over the off season last year. He will continue to work hard to get better, that is his nature. We all look forward to seeing what he can do with a full year in this system under his belt. Boyd is already fourth in school history in touchdown passes. One of the big reasons for his impressive numbers in 2011 was the play of the receiving corps. Boyd does lose first-team All-American tight end Dwayne Allen (50-598 and 8 touchdowns last year), but he does return Watkins and Hopkins who combined for 154 catches for 2,197 yards and 17 scores. Watkins was a first-team All-American all-purpose player as a true fresh-man last year, just the fourth true freshman to make first-team Associated Press All-American in history. The others are Herschel Walker, Adrian Peterson and Marshal Faulk. That’s pretty good company. Watkins finished last year with 82 receptions for 1219 yards and 12 scores. The yardage and touchdown receptions were Clemson records and all three numbers were ACC marks for a freshman and led all freshman nationally. Watkins was named the ACC Rookie-of-the-Year by the ACC Sports Media As-sociation and was national Freshman-of-the-Year by Sporting News and Rivals.com. “What sets Sammy apart is his all-around abilities,” said Swinney. “He averaged over seven yards a rush and was one of the top return men in the nation. Opposing defensive coaches have to account for him on every play because he has the ability to change the game any time he is on the field.” Hopkins had an outstanding sophomore year with 72 receptions for 978 yards and five scores. The sophomore is the only receiver in ACC history to have at least 50 catches as a freshman and sophomore. Hopkins actually had a stronger finish to the season than Watkins as the native of Clemson had 25 catches for 347 yards over the last four games, including 7-92 in the ACC Championship game against Virginia Tech and 10-107 in the Orange Bowl. Not to be forgotten is senior Jaron Brown, who had 31 receptions for 406 yards and four touchdowns a year ago. He had a team high six receptions for 78 yards in the win over Wake Forest that clinched the Atlantic Division title in Clemson’s final home game. The Academic All-ACC performer has 66 career catches for 841 yards and eight scores. There are three other outstanding true sophomores who will compete for catches and playing time in 2012. Adam Humphries (15-130), Martavis Bryant (9-221) and Charone Peake (4-71) all have bright futures with the Clemson program and make Clemson one of the top receiving corps in the nation. One of the keys to the success of the Clemson offense under offen-sive coordinator Chad Morris in 2011 was the unit’s balance. Clemson had a 1000-yard rusher and 1000-yard receiver (almost two) in 2011, just the second time a Clemson team has done that. Clemson had 3952 yards passing and 2219 rushing last season and the Tigers coach who was named National offensive Coordinator of the Year by Rivals.com last year is hoping to make the ground game even more prominent this year. He spent the winter of 2012 visiting schools that run a similar spread attack as the Tigers who have been successful running the football. “We want to have a balanced attack,” said Swinney. “That has always been our approach. We did a good job running the ball in this system last year, but we want to be better. We may add a few wrinkles this year to make us even more balanced.” From a personnel standpoint, Clemson will have the experience to be an improved running game with the return of starting back Andre Ellington. The senior from Moncks Corner, SC had 1,178 yards last year and a 5.3 aver-age to go with 11 rushing touchdowns. He finished the year strong with 125 yards against Virginia Tech in the ACC Championship game and 116 in just 10 attempts in the Orange Bowl against West Virginia. Ellington enters his final season with a career 5.8 average, 2,355 rush-ing yards and 25 rushing touchdowns. He is 10th in school history in rush-ing and rushing touchdowns, but he needs 1,612 rushing yards to become Clemson’s all-time leader. Ellington had a career high 212 yards rushing at Maryland, one of five 100-yard games for the second-team All-ACC selection in 2011. Ellington has some able backups for 2012. Mike Bellamy was Clem-son’s second leading rusher with 343 yards and three touchdowns as a true

freshman. His biggest play of the year was a 31-yard touchdown run at Virginia Tech, that clinched the win over the 10th ranked Hokies for the Tigers. D.J. Howard and Roderick McDowell are also factors in the running back pictures. Howard had 41 rushes for 230 yards last year, a strong 5.6 average, while McDowell had 14-63, including a 14-yard run for a touchdown in the Orange Bowl. So who is going to block for these talented skill position players? The aforementioned Freeman is a good start. Now in his fourth year as the starting center, Freeman has been a leader on the top two scoring teams in Clemson history (2009 and 2011). The native of Pelion, SC has 143 career knock-downs and has 2,402 snaps under his belt in 40 games, 36 as a starter. By the end of the season he should have the Clemson record for career starts by an offensive lineman (48). The two-time Academic All-ACC performer was also first-team All-ACC on the field last year. He was one of six finalists for the Rimington Award last year and winning that award is certainly one of the goals for the Clemson grade in his final fall on the gridiron. Another returning starter up front is Brandon Thomas, a 6-3, 300-pounder who could play guard or tackle in 2012. Thomas played 777 snaps last year and had 39 knockdown blocks in 13 games, 10 as a starter. His coming out party came against Auburn when he played 89 snaps and had four knockdowns in Clemson’s win over the 19th-ranked Tigers. He also had the distinction of scoring a touchdown on a fumble recovery at Georgia Tech, the first Clemson offensive lineman since 1966 to score a touchdown. Outside of Freeman and Thomas nothing is etched in stone in the Clem-son offensive line. But, offensive line coach Robbie Caldwell is one of the best in the business in developing young talent. One move that Swinney made after the season was to move Tyler Shatley from defensive tackle to offensive guard. The early returns have been positive and he was running with the first team during spring practice. The athletic player came to Clemson as a fullback and is one of the strongest play-ers on the team. He had 41 tackles in his first two years in 26 games on the defensive side of the ball. Kalen Davis is another young guard who will challenge for time as a starter. The native of Chester is a 6-5, 335-pounder who played in 12 games last year, but saw only 49 snaps on offensive scrimmage plays. Gifford Timothy is another sophomore who could see significant playing time in the offensive line as a tackle. He played 45 snaps in seven games a year ago, but two of the appearances were in the ACC Championship game and the Orange Bowl. The native of Delaware has the size (6-6 and 315) to be an outstanding player as he gains experience. There are many other young linemen who will have a chance to see significant playing time in 2012. The list includes red-shirt freshman tackle Shaq Anthony, offensive tackle Joe Gore, another converted defensive line-man, red-shirt freshman Ryan Norton, red-shirt freshman Spencer Region, and red-shirt freshman tackle Reid Webster. While Clemson must replace John Mackey Award winner Dwayne Allen at tight end, but the Tigers have a more than capable replacement in senior Brandon Ford. Ford had 14 catches for 166 yards and two touchdowns as Allen’s backup last year and had two touchdowns catches in Clemson’s bowl game at the end of the 2010 season. Sam Cooper is a sophomore who played in all 14 games last year and red-shirt freshman Eric Mac Lain was ranked as the number-59 overall player in the nation by Rivals.com coming out of high school. Both should see playing time as well. Darrell Smith is a tight end/fullback who is a two-year letterman as well.

Defense (7 Starters Returning) Clemson’s defense will be under new management this year as vet-eran Big 12 defensive coordinator Brent Venables takes over. The Tigers had some bright moments last year, holding Virginia Tech to just 13 points and one touchdown in 120 minutes of football last year. But Clemson loses four starters from last year, including Andre Branch and Brandon Thompson, the leaders of the first line of defense. Venables will have some young, but talented players to work with in 2011. “Brent has an outstanding track record and has experience defending spread offenses in the Big 12,” said Swinney. “He has coached against some of the top quarterbacks in the nation in the last few years and developed outstanding young players at both Oklahoma and Kansas State. We could not have hireda brighter, more experience defensive mind than Brent Venables.” Venables coached the last 16 years in the Big 12, including each of the last 13 at Oklahoma where he helped Bob Stoops teams to 13 bowl games,

including seven BCS Bowls. He coached the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year five times and the Defensive Newcomer of the Year five times. In 2006 he was a finalist for the Frank Broyles Award, which is given to the top assistant coach in the nation. That year Oklahoma led the Big 12 in scoring defense, pass defense and total defense. Venables first order of business will be to find some linemen who can re-place 2011 seniors Branch, Thompson and Moore. Branch was a second-team All-American last year when he had a team best 17 tackles for loss, including an ACC best 10.5 sacks. He had 85 total tackles and nearly became the first lineman to lead Clemson in tackles since William Perry in 1984. Thompson was fourth on the team in tackles with 77, while Moore had 58, including 10 tackles for loss, second best on the team. Malliciah Goodman had 59 tackles and 14 quarterback pressures as a junior defensive end last year and he will be the leader of the defensive front this season. He has 122 career tackles and four caused fumbles in his 41-game career. He played 767 snaps last year, not only the most among Clemson linemen in 2011, but the most by a Clemson defensive lineman in history. He has played well against Georgia Tech’s option offense the last two years, including last year when he had season high nine tackles. Corey Crawford is a strong candidate to be at the opposite defensive end position. The sophomore from Columbus, GA had 29 tackles, including two for minus yardage last year when he played in 14 games behind Branch. He also had two passes broken up at the line of scrimmage. He finished the season strong with eight tackles over the last two games. Vic Beasley is a red-shirt sophomore who played in nine games and lettered at defensive end last season. DeShawn Williams and Grady Jarrett are a pair of young defensive tack-les who will challenge for starting roles in 2012. Williams played 138 snaps as a true freshman and made one start. He finished the year with 20 tackles, two of which were tackles for loss. The son of former Clemson football player Ronald Williams (RB, 1990-92), had four tackles, including a tackle for loss in just 20 snaps in the ACC Championship game. Jarrett played 61 plays in nine games last year and had two tackles. The native of Conyers, GA is a physical clone of Brandon Thompson and hopes to take over his hole as a run stopper on the inside this coming year. Tavaris Barnes has a lot of promise on the defense line. He played 73 snaps in nine games last year as a red-shirt freshman. Josh Watson, who played 21 snaps in five games last year, is the only other returning letterman in the defensive front. Tra Thomas played in two games last year, while Jerome Maybank is a red-shirt freshman who could contribute in 2012. While Clemson’s defensive line returns just one starter, the linebacker corps returns all three starters from last year, plus a fourth player who had three starts and ranked 13th on the team in tackles last year. Corico Hawkins led Clemson linebackers in tackles last year with 80. The rising senior had 62 first hits, second on the team behind Branch, and had five tackles for loss and a pair of pass deflections in 697 plays. He played more snaps than any other Clemson linebacker. He has started each of the last two seasons and has 170 career tackles, second among active Tigers. Jonathan “Tig” Williard is another returning starter who had 75 tackles last year. Willard started 11 of the 14 games, including the regular season win at Virginia Tech when he had eight tackles and was named ACC Linebacker of the Week. The native of Loris, SC is a veteran of 40 games and has 112 career tackles. Quandon Christian is a third returning starter on the second line of defense. The outside linebacker had 36 tackles in 14 games, including seven starts. Twenty-nine of his 36 tackles were first hits. He has actually started exactly seven games each of the last two years. There is a line of sophomores waiting in the wings at the three line-backer positions. Stephone Anthony started three games last year when he had 32 tackles and six tackles for loss. Anthony was a first-team USA Today All-American out of high school and figures to see significant playing time this year. He had two tackles for loss in the ACC Championship game win over Virginia Tech. Tony Steward is another young linebacker who figures to see playing time this year. Another first-team USA Today All-American in the recruiting class of 2011, he suffered a torn ACL last year after playing just five games and was lost for the season. He is expected to be ready for practice in August. Lateek Townsend played as a special teams player last year and showed his special talents with 16 tackles, second best on the team. He played just three snaps on defense, but figures to see much more playing time this year. Spencer Shuey is another linebacker who should see more playing time this year. The junior played in all 14 games and had 27 tackles, 19 of which

came on special teams. Justin Parker is a two-year letterman at linebacker who played in all 14 games last year and had 10 tackles. Rashard Hall is the leader of the secondary and perhaps of the entire Clemson defense. The graduate student had a team best 89 tackles last year to go with three tackles for loss, a sack and two interceptions. He has 10 ca-reer interceptions, 13 career takeaways and 217 career tackles, high figures among all active Clemson players. The native of St. Augustine, FL has played in 40 games, 31 as a starter. The intelligent safety is a two-time Academic All-ACC selection who graduated in just over three years. Hall played with a knee injury much of last year and had surgery to repair the problem in the off-season and did not go through spring practice. He should be ready to go in the fall. Xavier Brewer is another returning veteran in the secondary. The native of Florida started 13 games a year ago and had 60 tackles, seventh best on the team. He has experience as a cornerback and a safety and ranked seventh in tackles with 60. Fellow senior Jonathan Meeks is another returning veteran who will con-tribute to Clemson’s point prevention unity. Meeks led the team in intercep-tions a year ago with three and ranked sixth in tackles with 60. Seven of those tackles happened in the win over Auburn when he led the team in tackles against the Tigers spread offense. Bashaud Breland is a precocious sophomore who started seven games last year and is considered a co-returning starter in the secondary. Breland had 53 tackles in 643 plays on defense and also picked off two passes, including one in the ACC Championship game against Virginia Tech. There are other strong candidates for playing time in the secondary this year. Martin Jenkins started three games and played in all 14 games last year when he made 27 tackles and had six passes broken up second on the Clem-son team. Darius Robinson is another returning letterman who had 18 tackles and played in 11 games in 2011. Robert Smith started a game as a freshman in 2011 and had nine tackles overall, while Garry Peters had six tackles and played in 11 games.

Special Teams Clemson returns placekicker Chandler Catanzaro, but must replace three-year starter Dawson Zimmerman at punter. The Tigers should also be strong in the return game with the return of all-purpose player Sammy Watkins and starting punt returner DeAndre Hopkins. Catanzaro was a second-team All-ACC kicker in 2011 when he con-nected on 22-27 field goals and led the ACC in scoring with 118 points. He set a Clemson record for kick scoring with that total. The junior from Greenville who was originally a walk-on has been out-standing from long distance the last two years, making 15-21 from 40 yards or more. That .714 figure is best in Clemson history in terms of field goals from 40 or more. Last year he was 22-27 on field goals and 52-53 on extra points. He was 9-12 on field goals over 40 yards and made each of his last eight field goal attempts of the year. Zimmerman was a semifinalist for the Ray Guy Award in 2010 and was a finalist for the Lowe’s Senior Class Award in 2011. He averaged 41.8 yards a punt last year with a 38.4 net. He finished his Clemson career sixth in gross punting average, but his individual net punting average was second behind all-time great Dale Hatcher. A couple of candidates to replace Zimmerman would be Spencer Ben-ton, the backup last year who had two punts when Zimmerman was hurt. Also, freshman Joey Pinion will be a candidate. The 6-6 punter was second-team USA Today All-American last year as a high school senior. He enrolled at Clem-son in January and will go through spring practice. Watkins was fourth in the nation in all-purpose yards with 176 per game. His 25.0 average on kickoff returns had a lot to do with that figure. He had 826 kickoff return yards for the year, the most in Clemson history. That included an 89-yard kickoff return for a score against Maryland. Hopkins handled Clemson punt returns last year. Most of the time he fair caught the ball and had 10 returns for 49 yards. Watkins could also see action in the punt return game this year. As far as coverage is concerned, Clemson returns its top three tacklers on special teams. Spencer Shuey led the way with 19 stops, while Lateek Townsend, who played just the last 10 games, had 16. Darrell Smith was third with 15. Clemson allowed 20.0 yards per kickoff return and 9.3 per punt return a year ago.

Clemson breaks Ground on Indoor facility (As appeared on ClemsonTigers.com on March 31) Anytime Clemson hosts a football camp and the threat of severe weath-er threatens the area, they move everything inside to Jervey Gymnasium. “It used to be lightning could strike right here beside you before they would stop practice,” Clemson Head Football Coach Dabo Swinney said. “These days, it can be sunny and not a cloud in a sky, but if lightning is within 15 miles of the area, they are going to send you in.” That, and coupled with the 20-hour rule--the required accountable ac-tivity student-athletes can have within its chosen sport--Clemson decided it was time to take its practice facilities up another notch as it officially broke ground on the football program’s indoor practice facility Friday. Ironically, threatening weather in the area brought the groundbreaking inside Friday afternoon, and in the way only Swinney can, he pointed out to President James Barker, Athletic Director Terry Don Phillips, IPTAY’s Board of directors as well as those who gave money to the capital campaign - that there is definitely a need for an Indoor Practice Facility. “I don’t know why you moved this thing indoors? I guess you were worried about the rain,” he joked. “There is no better time to talk about an indoor facility than when we have to move something inside because of weather.” The Indoor Practice Facility will feature a regulation-size artificial turf football field, a coach’s tower and video platforms. The building will have large garage-style doors, which can be raised to create an open-air space. “I just want to thank everyone for the support and the ability to make this building a reality,” Swinney said. “I want to thank IPTAY for their unbe-lievable support for everything they do athletically at Clemson. “For three years we have worked very hard to make this a nationally competitive program. That’s the goal. That’s something we have not been here in a long time. Everybody here wants to be nationally competitive and we have made great strides in doing that. We still have a lot of work to do, but I’m very proud of the progress we have made. “This facility is another step in that direction and it will truly be a dif-ference maker for this school.” The estimated cost of the Indoor Facility is $10 million. Phillips says the new building, which will be located behind the Jervey Athletic Center where the turf practice field is currently, should be completed by December of this year. “This is critical. We need to have this facility,” Phillips said. “The points Dabo made about the 20-hour rule, hit right on the point. We only have so much time to get work done.” The Clemson football program is heading into its third year inside the WestZone, which has helped Clemson upgrade its football program with state of the art locker rooms, weight rooms, meeting rooms and a recruiting center. Clemson will open a training table area in the WestZone this summer. “When it opens, it will be a first-class facility,” Phillips said. “It will serve our needs very effectively. The indoor practice facility is another step in that direction. “It is a very competitive world out there when it comes to facilities. Ev-ery school that we play has been very aggressive with facilities. It’s not only important to be good on the field, but you have to have the ability to recruit. Their eyes tell them a lot about what kind of commitment we are making.” Barker says the groundbreaking of the indoor practice facility is another example of the commitment that has been made to make the Clemson foot-ball program one of the best in the country. “We are very proud of our football program and we are proud of that ACC Championship,” he said. “This is just one more reflection of how proud we are of our football program.”

Academics & Athletics Clemson was one of five schools nationally to rank in the top 25 of the U.S. News & World Report Top Public In-stitutions and in the top 25 of the final 2011 BCS stand-ings. Clemson is #25 among public institutions and #15 in the final BCS standings. The other four schools in both are Georgia, Michigan, Penn State, and Wisconsin. Only Michigan and Wisconsin are higher than Clemson in the BCS standings among schools ranked in the top 25 of the public institutions.

Five First-Team All-ACC Tigers Five Tigers were named First-Team All-ACC in 2011, including four on offense. Clemson’s five first-team play-ers were more than any other school. The Tigers had nine combined selections on the two teams, also more than any other school. The first-team selections on offense were tight end Dwayne Allen, quarterback Tajh Boyd, center Dalton Freeman, and wide receiver Sammy Watkins. Defen-sive end Andre Branch was a first-team pick as well. It marked the first time since 2006 that Clemson had five first-team selections. Second-team selections were Andre Ellington (RB), Chandler Catanzaro (PK), Brandon Thompson (DT), and Watkins (SP). Clemson had three Honorable Mention All-ACC selections in Phillip Price (OT), Landon Walker (OT), and Dawson Zimmerman. Clemson had four of the 11 players named First-Team All-ACC on offense, the most for the program since 2007, but it was the first time in Clemson history that the Tigers had four underclassmen earn first-team honors on offense.

Boyd became the first Clemson quarterback to earn First-Team All-ACC honors since Woodrow Dantzler was named First-Team All-ACC as a senior in 2001. Boyd is the first Clemson underclassman to earn First-Team All-ACC honors since Homer Jordan was a first-team pick in 1981 as a junior. Boyd was the first Clemson sophomore to earn First-Team All-ACC honors at quarterback since Harvey White in 1957. Watkins was named First-Team All-ACC at wide re-ceiver. He was the first Clemson first-year freshman to be named First-Team All-ACC since Anthony Simmons (LB) in 1995. Watkins was Clemson’s first first-year freshman offensive player named First-Team All-ACC since Ronald Williams (1990) did so as a running back. Watkins was the first Clemson freshman to earn First-Team All-ACC honors. Allen was named First-Team All-ACC after being named Second-Team All-ACC as a sophomore in 2010. He had eight receiving touchdowns, most in Clemson history by a tight end. Allen received the John Mackey Award as the nation’s top tight end. Freeman was the First-Team All-ACC center. He started every game in 2011 and was a big reason the Ti-gers were in the top 35 in the nation in total offense. He was finalist for the Rimington Trophy as well. Freeman is the first Clemson center to earn First-Team All-ACC honors since 2000, when Kyle Young was named as a junior. Branch was a First-Team All-ACC pick at defensive end. The native of Richmond, VA led the ACC in sacks (10.5).Leading the second-team selections was defen-sive tackle Brandon Thompson. Ellington was named Second-Team All-ACC as a running back. Ellington had 1,178 rushing yards in 13 games. He scored 11 touchdowns and is second on the team in all-purpose yards (1,418). He was also fourth in the ACC in rushing yards per game. Catanzaro was second in the ACC in field goals and has made 22-27 this year. That includes 9-12 on field goals of 40+ yards. His 118 points led the ACC and set a Clemson single season record for kick scoring. Watkins was the first Tiger to earn All-ACC honors at two different positions since 2009, when C.J. Spiller was named First-Team All-ACC as a kick returner and Second-Team All-ACC as a running back. Watkins was second in the ACC in kickoff return average (25.0). Wat-kins had 2,288 all-purpose yards, second-most in Clem-son history.

Balanced Offense Clemson was one of 15 schools nationally with a 1,000-yard rusher, 1,000-yard receiver, and 3,000-yard passer in 2011. Andre Ellington is the top rusher with 1,178 yards, Sammy Watkins was the top receiver with 1,219 yards, and Tajh Boyd was the top passer with 3828 yards. Watkins and Boyd both established single-season records in their respective categories. Clemson, Fresno State and Southern Cal are the only three schools in the nation with a 1000-yard rusher, 1000-yard receiver and 3000-yard passer returning in 2012.

Clemson among Most Improved Offenses in Nation Clemson made considerable improvement on the of-fensive side of the football in 2011. The Tigers scor-ing was up 9.57 points per game in 2011 over 2010, passing offense was up 86.69 yards per game and total offense was up 106.17 yards per game.

Clemson’s Highest-Ranked Victories Clemson tied the school record for the highest-ranked team it has beaten when Dabo Swinney’s team came away with a 38-10 win over Virginia Tech in the ACC Championship game. The Hokies #3 in USA Today poll and #5 in the AP poll entering the contest. The other #3-ranked team Clemson has beaten in its history came in November of 2003, when the Tigers de-feated Florida State, 26-10. Clemson was coming off a 45-17 loss at Wake Forest, a game Clemson trailed 45-0 entering the fourth quarter. The Tigers were coming off a 21-point loss at South Carolina prior to the 2011 ACC Championship game. Clemson’s other two top-five wins came in 1981, a 13-3 victory over #4 Georgia and a 22-15 victory #4 Ne-braska. Clemson beat two Hall of Fame coaches in those games as well, Vince Dooley (Georgia) and Tom Osborne (Nebraska). The Tigers gained three victories over top-11 teams in 2011 and four top-20 wins overall. When Clemson downed Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, the Hokies were #10 in the USA Today poll and #11 in the AP poll. Clem-son also gained a win over #11 Florida State in Sep-tember by a score of 35-30. Those are two of 19 Tiger wins over top-12 teams in history. Clemson became the first ACC school to defeat three top 20 teams in three consecutive games when the Tigers beat Auburn, Florida State and Virginia Tech in games 3-5.

Tigers Face Six Top-25 Teams Clemson faced a record six top 25 teams in 2011 and finished 4-2 in those games. It established a school record for games against top 25 teams in a season. The Tigers also faced five top-25 teams in 1988 (3-2), 1999 (1-4), and 2005 (3-2).

Tigers Ranked For Last 13 Weeks of Season Clemson was ranked 22nd in the final polls by AP and USA Today this year. Clemson was ranked for the last 13 weeks of the season, the longest stretch for the program since the 2000-01 era. Clemson was ranked in all 17 polls in 2000, then was ranked in the first 11 polls of 2001 for 28 consecutive rankings in the polls. The Tigers entered both polls after defeating #19 Au-burn on September 17. Clemson was ranked #21 by AP and #22 by USA Today after that victory, then moved up to #13 in the AP poll and #15 in the USA Today poll after its 35-30 win over #11 Florida State. The Tigers then entered the top 10 at #8 after a 23-3 win at #10 Virginia Tech on October 1. Clemson reached a high of #6 in both polls after an eighth straight win (over North Carolina) to start the sea-son. Clemson was #7 in the AP poll before losing at N.C. State. Clemson dropped 11 spots in the AP poll after that 37-13 loss. Clemson was ranked 14th and 15th in the respective AP and USA Today polls at the end of the regular season.

Tigers Third-Highest Ranked Not in Preseason Poll One of the reasons Dabo Swinney won the Bobby Dodd National Coach of the Year Award was Clemson’s national ranking relative to its preseason expectations. The Tigers were unranked in the preseason AP and USA Today polls, yet ranked #22 in the final polls Clemson was one of eight schools in the final AP poll that was not ranked in the preseason poll. This was the fifth time in the last nine years (all in odd-numbered years) that Clemson was ranked in the final top 25 after not being ranked in the preseason. Clemson did it in 2003, 2005, 2007, 2009 & 2011.Clemson #15 in Final BCS Standings Clemson was #15 in the final BCS standings in 2011. It marked Clemson’s eighth straight week in the top 20 of the BCS standings. Entering this season, the most weeks Clemson appeared in the BCS standings in

one season was six (2007). That year, Clemson finished #15 in the BCS, so this season tied for Clemson’s best finish in the BCS standings.

Road Wins Over Ranked Teams Clemson has 64 wins over AP top-25 teams over the years, and 21 of them have taken place on an opponent’s home field. The 21st took place on October 1, when the Tigers defeated #10 Virginia Tech 23-3. The 20-point margin was Clemson’s largest margin of victory in a road game over a ranked opponent. The previous record was a 11-point win at North Carolina in 1994 and an 11-point win at Florida State in 1989. The three points allowed in the win over the Hokies tied for the fewest points allowed in a Clemson win over a top-20 team on the road. Clemson also allowed just three points in a 16-3 win at North Carolina in 1983.

Clemson Records Eighth Season of 10 Wins or More The 2011 season closed with a 10-4 mark, he eighth season of at least 10 wins in Clemson history. This was the first time Clemson achieved double digits in wins since 1990 when the Tigers were 10-2. The first double digit season for wins came in 1948 when Frank Howard’s team was 11-0. Clemson had an 11-1 record in 1978 under Charley Pell and Danny Ford. Ford took Clemson to four seasons of double-digit wins. Of course the record for wins in a season is 12 set in 1981.

Swinney is the first Clemson coach in any sport to win a national coach of the Year honor since Larry Penley was the unanimous National Coach of the Year of college golf in 2003 when the Tigers golfers won the National Championship. The Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Award is annually presented to the Football Subdivision head coach whose team excels on the field, in the classroom and in the community. The award is named for Bobby Dodd, the longtime head coach at Georgia Tech. It was established in 1976 to honor the values that Dodd exemplified. The Dodd selection committee is composed of college foot-ball media experts, and previous winners.

Tigers Started 8-0 Clemson won its first eight games in 2011, just the fourth time in school history that happened and the first time since 2000. That year, Clemson’s streak ended with a 31-28 loss to Georgia Tech. The Tiger record for consecutive wins is 15, set from 1947-49 under Head Coach Frank Howard. Clemson won its last three games of 1947, then went 11-0 in 1948. The Tigers won the 1949 season-opener against Presbyterian College, but the streak was snapped with a loss to Rice. Overall, it was the 13th time in school history Clem-son won at least eight consecutive games.

Consecutive 50+ Point Games Clemson scored at least 56 points in consecutive games in October, the first time that has happened in school history. It was the first time Clemson scored at least 50 points in consecutive ACC games and the first time against anyone since 2006, when Clemson had 50-point games in wins over North Carolina and Louisi-ana Tech. Dabo Swinney’s Tigers defeated Maryland 56-45 on October 15, then defeated North Carolina 59-38 on Oc-tober 22. Clemson became just the third ACC team in history with consecutive games of at least 56 points and the first to do it since 1992. Virginia accomplished the feat in 1990 and Florida State did it in 1992.

Turnovers the Key Statistic Turnovers were the key statistic when evaluating wins and losses for Clemson this year. In the 10 games Clemson won, the Tigers combined to commit just 11 turnovers and forced 20 for a +9 turnover margin. In Clemson’s four losses, the Tigers combined to commit 13 and forced just three for a -10 turnover margin. The Tigers were 8-0 this year when they at least tied the turn-over margin statistic and 2-4 when they lost it.

Youth Served Clemson had a young squad in 2011 with 42 (first-year and red-shirt) freshmen among the 85 players on scholarship. Twenty-five freshmen lettered this year, a record for one year. The previous record was 23 n 1985 under Danny Ford. The third -most was 21 in 2006. That was C.J. Spiller’s freshman season at Clemson. Overall, 25 freshmen lettered in 2011, 13 true fresh-

men and 12 red-shirt. Seven freshmen played in every game and 15 played at least 10 games. Eight started at least one game and 10 different freshmen played at least 100 snaps, including six who played 200 snaps. Twenty-nine freshmen got into at least one game. The freshman who played the most was All-America receiver Sammy Watkins who played 656 snaps, started 10 games and played in 13 of the 14.

Greatest Single-Season Improvements Clemson won four more games in 2011 than it won last year. The Tigers were 6-7 last year and finished with a 10-4 mark in 2011, an improvement of four wins. The last time Clemson improved by four wins from one year to the next was in 1993. The Tigers were 5-6 in 1992, then went 9-3 the following year. The Tiger record for victory improvement from one year to another is seven. The 1947 Clemson team had a 4-5 record, then Clemson amassed a perfect 11-0 ledger in 1948.

Four Tigers led ACC in Statistical Categories Tajh Boyd, Sammy Watkins, Chandler Catanzaro and Andre Branch all led the ACC in various statistical cat-egories in 2011. According to final statistics released by the ACC, the four players combined to lead the confer-ence in 10 categories. Boyd, the first-team All-ACC quarterback, paced the conference in total offense per game (289.0), passing yards per game (273.4), touchdown responsibility (38), touchdown passes (33), and completions (298). The

sophomore is the first Clemson quarterback to lead the ACC in total offense since 2001 when Woodrow Dantzler led the league with 305.8 yards per game. Boyd is the first Clemson quarterback to lead the ACC in passing offense and total offense in the same year since 1957 when Harvey White accomplished the feat. White was also a sophomore and a first-team All-ACC quarterback that year. Boyd finished the season with 298 completions in 499 attempts for 3,828 yards and 33 touchdowns for a 141.2 passing efficiency. His 298 completions rank fifth in ACC history, his 33 touchdown passes rank tied for second, his 3,828 yards rank fourth and his 4,046 yards of total offense rank fourth. His 38 touchdowns rushing and passing rank first in ACC history in the touchdown responsibility category. Watkins ranked first in the ACC in all-purpose run-ning yards with 2,288 in 14 games, good for a 176.0 average. Watkins’ 2,288 all-purpose yards rank second in ACC history, trailing only the 2,680 former Tiger C.J. Spiller accumulated in 2009, his senior year. Watkins, a freshman from Fort Myers, FL, finished the year with 82 catches for 1,219 yards and 12 touchdowns. His 82 receptions rank eighth best in ACC history and second in Clemson history, while his 1,219 receiv-ing yards are seventh best in ACC history and the best in Clemson history. His 12 touchdown catches set a Clemson record for a season and tied for the best in the ACC in 2011. Chandler Catanzaro finished with 22 field goals in 27 attempts and made 52-53 extra points for 118 total points in 2011. The point total established a Clemson record for kick scoring points in a season, breaking the record of 109 by Mark Buchholz in 2007. Catanzaro led the ACC in total points scored with his 118 this year and he also tied for the ACC lead in field goals with 22. He was 9-12 on field goals of 40 yards or more and his 8.4 points per game ranked second in the ACC. Andre Branch gave Clemson the ACC sack champion for the second straight year. The senior finished with

Safety Jonathan meeks and the Clemson defense forced 20 turnovers and had a plus-nine turnover margin in the team’s ten wins in 2011.

10.5 sacks for the year, an average of 0.75 per game. Former teammate and 2010 All-American Da’Quan Bow-ers led the ACC last year. From a team standpoint, Clemson led the ACC in passing offense (282.3), was first in first downs per game, touchdown passes (33) total passing yards (3952), total plays (1055), pass attempts (525) total points (470) and total yards gained (6171). The Tigers averaged 282.3 yards per game passing, just the second time Clemson has led the ACC in passing since 1975. Clemson’s 440.8 yards per game in total offense ranked second in the league behind Georgia Tech, as was Clemson’s 33.6 points per game. Clemson’s 440.8 yards per game established a school record, as did the 6,171 yards of total offense. That was the third most yards of total offense in ACC history.

Stopping Streaks I On September 17, Clemson ended Auburn’s 17-game winning streak, the longest streak in Auburn his-tory, the longest active streak in the nation at the time, and the longest streak Clemson has ended in its history. Clemson also ended its 14-game losing streak to Auburn. The ACC Tigers had not beaten the SEC Tigers since the 1951 campaign. At Virginia Tech on October 1, Clemson ended the Hokies’ 12-game ACC winning streak, their 14-game regular-season winning streak, and their five-game win-ning streak against Clemson. The Tigers had not beaten Virginia Tech since 1989.

Stopping Streaks II Clemson ended Auburn’s 17-game winning streak on September 17 with a 38-24 victory. Clemson overcame a 14-point deficit in the first half, the first time Clemson had done that to gain victory since the 2006 Wake Forest game in Winston-Salem, NC. That was the longest streak Clemson has snapped in school history. The previous record was a 15-game winning streak by Georgia that Clemson snapped in 1981.

Tigers Down Defending National Champion...Again Clemson is now 3-0 against the defending National Champion in Memorial Stadium. The Tigers first defeat-ed the defending champion in 1981, when Clemson beat Georgia 13-3. The Bulldogs had won the title the previ-ous year. Clemson defeated Georgia Tech in 1991 9-7 in Death Valley one year after the Yellow Jackets had won the national title. On September 17, 2011, Clemson defeated #19 Auburn 38-24, just three games removed from Auburn’s 2010 National Championship. In all three cases, Clemson gained the victory in the third game of the season against a team that had beaten the Tigers in a close game the year before.

Clemson Named National Team-of-the-Week Clemson was named national team-of-the-week for its 35-30 win over #11 Florida State on September 24. It was just the second time Clemson was the recipient of the award from the Football Writers Association of America that dates to 2002. The Tigers downed the Seminoles to give them a second win over a top-20 team in eight days, just the fourth time the program had wins over ranked teams in consecutive weeks. Clemson gained 443 yards and scored 35 points against Florida State, who entered the game fifth in the nation in total defense, allowing just 195 yards per game. The Seminoles had also allowed just 11 points per game entering the contest. Tajh Boyd completed 22-35 passes for 344 yards and added 19 rushing yards for 363 yards of total of-fense. His favorite target was freshman Sammy Watkins, who had seven catches for 141 yards and two touch-downs. Defensive tackle Rennie Moore had a sack on Florida State’s final offensive play to preserve the victory, Clemson’s fifth in a row over the Seminoles in Death Val-ley. Clemson held Florida State to just 29 rushing yards. Clemson last won the award from the FWAA in 2003 after a 26-10 victory over #3 Florida State.

Second-Best Comeback on Record Clemson overcame an 18-point deficit on two occa-sions and defeated Maryland 56-45 on October 15 in College Park, MD. It was the highest-scoring game for the Tigers in an ACC contest since the Tigers scored 59 in a 59-31 win over Duke in 2001. The 101 combined points were the most in a Clemson game since the Tigers defeated Wake Forest 82-24 on October 31, 1981. Clemson had overcome a 14-point deficit or more nine times in 115 years prior to this year. This 2011 team did it three times. Tajh Boyd is already Clemson’s career leader from the quarterback position in overcom-

ing deficits of 14 points or more.Clemson’s Greatest Comebacks

Scoring in 22 Straight Quarters Clemson set a school record for consecutive quarters scoring during the North Carolina game. That streak also came to an end in Clemson’s 59-38 win. The Tigers scored in 22 straight quarters, breaking the record of 20 set in 1983. It is interesting to note that four of the top five streaks in school history have been stopped by North Carolina. Clemson scored in 49 of the 56 quarters in 2011.

35-Point Quarter Clemson scored 35 points in the third quarter of its 59-38 win over North Carolina on October 22. It was the most points in a quarter since the Tigers scored 35 points against Wake Forest in an 82-24 victory in 1981. Fittingly, the 1981 team was honored at halftime of the North Carolina game on the occasion of the team’s 30-year anniversary of winning the national title. Christopher “Kit” Southwick set a Tiger mascot pushup record when he did 225 pushups during the third quarter of the North Carolina game. The previous record was 210 by Dan Licata against Central Michigan in 2007. The 35 points in the third quarter tied the Tiger re-cord for points in a quarter. The 1981 team scored 35 points in the second quarter of that 1981 Wake Forest game. Those are the only 35-point quarters in Clemson history.

Clemson Players-of-the-Game After each game, Clemson coaches select players-of-the-game on offense, defense, and special teams. Below is the game-by-game list for the 2011 season.

Freshman wideout Sammy WatKInS was a one-man wrecking-crew at Maryland with eight catches for 105 yards and two scores, and five kickoff returns for 207 yards and a go-ahead touchdown. He set the Clemson single-game all-purpose yardage record with 345 on the day.

Seven Tigers With a 50-Yard Play An indication of the amount of weapons on the Tiger offense is the number of players with a play of 50 yards or more this year. Clemson had seven different players who were involved in 13 scrimmage plays of 50 yards or more. The previous record for a season was also seven players, established in 2001. Sammy Watkins had five different pass plays of at least 50 yards, including two 62-yard receptions and a 65-yard catch. Mike Bellamy had a 75-yard run, Andre Ellington had a 74-yard run, and a 68-yard run, Dwayne Allen had a 54-yard reception, DeAndre Hopkins had a 50-yard catch, and Martavis Bryant had a 54-yard recep-tion. Tight end Brandon Ford had a 50-yard reception at N.C. State to give Clemson seven different players with a 50-yard play from scrimmage in 2011.

1,000-Yard Rusher & Receiver Junior Andre Ellington went over the 1,000-yard rushing mark in the win over #3 Virginia Tech in the ACC Championship game, giving the Tigers their 12th differ-ent 1,000 yard rusher in history. There have been 15 1,000-yard seasons so far, as Raymond Priester, Wood-row Dantzler, and James Davis had two 1,000-yard rush-ing seasons during their careers.

Clemson had not had a 1,000-yard rusher since the 2009 season, when C.J. Spiller rushed for 1,212 yards. The school record is 1,345 rushing yards by Raymond Priester in 1996. He also has the second most in a season with 1,322 in 1995. When Ellington reached 1,000 rushing yards, the 2011 team became just the third in Clemson history with a 1,000-yard rusher and a 1,000-yard receiver. Sammy Watkins already had 1,000 receiving yards receiving and finished with 1,219. The only other Tiger teams to do it are the 2000 and 2007 squads. The 2011 team is the first with a 1,000-yard rusher, 1,000-yard receiver, and a 3,000-yard passer. Tajh Boyd passed for 3,828 yards this past season.

Allen & Watkins First-Team AP All-Americans Freshman Sammy Watkins and junior Dwayne Allen were both named first-team All-Americans by AP. Defen-sive end Andre Branch was a third-team selection, giving Clemson three AP All-Americans for the first time since 1991. Watkins, who was named as the all-purpose player, was the first first-year freshman in ACC history be named an AP First-Team All-American and the first at any school since Oklahoma running back Adrian Peterson was hon-ored in 2004. Allen was named as the tight end, the first Tiger tight end to earn AP First-Team All-America honors since Bennie Cunningham in 1974. This marked the first time Clemson has had two AP First-Team All-Americans in the same year. Not even Clemson’s 1981 National Championship team had two first-team selections by AP. This was the third straight year Clemson had an AP First-Team All-American, the first three-year stretch

in school history. Clemson, Michigan State, Oklahoma State and Stanford are the only schools in the nation with an AP First-Team All-American each of the last three years.

Boyd & Watkins Regular ACC Players-of-the-Week Freshman wide receiver Sammy Watkins was honored seven times by the ACC in 2011, four times as the ACC Rookie-of-the-Week and three times as ACC Receiver-of-the-Week. Watkins broke the Clemson record for being honored by the league in one season. Anthony Simmons, a freshman linebacker in 1995 who was named national freshman-of-the-year by UPI, was named ACC Rookie-of-the-Week four times and Defensive Lineman-of-the-Week twice for six total honors. Quarterback Tajh Boyd was named ACC Offensive Back-of-the-Week three times this year in wins over Au-burn, Florida State, and North Carolina. Boyd tied the Tiger record for ACC Player-of-the-Week selections by a quarterback, as Woodrow Dantzler was named three times in 2001. Dantzler was named ACC Player-of-the-Week six times in his career between 1998-01, second-most in school history. Keith Adams holds the record with seven selections in a career and five times in a sea-son (1999). Overall, Clemson had 10 different players named ACC Player-of-the-Week in 2011.

Rising senior running back andre ellInGton rushed for a career-high 212 yards and two touchdowns in Clemson’s 56-45 victory at Maryland. For the season, he tallied 1,178 yards and 11 scores on the ground.

Boyd Ties Record for Wins by First-Year Starter Tajh Boyd led Clemson to 10 victories in 2011, his first year as a starter. He tied the record for wins by a first-year quarterback. He now is the co-holder with Chris Morocco (1989) and DeChane Cameron (1990). Kyle Parker had nine wins as a freshman in 2009 in his first year as well. Boyd a Top-10 Regular Tajh Boyd passed for a career-high 386 yards in the victory #19 Auburn on September 17, then threw for 344 yards in the victory over #11 Florida State the next week. He joined Charlie Whitehurst as the only Tigers in history to pass for 300 yards in consecutive games. Whitehurst did it in 2003. A look to the list below shows that Boyd did more than just break the 300-yard mark, he has had four of the top-eight passing yardage games in Tiger history. Boyd passed for at least three touchdowns in each of his first four starts, the record for consecutive games throwing at least three touchdown passes.

Morris Named Top Offensive Coordinator by Rivals.com Clemson offensive coordinator Chad Morris was named the 2011 national Offensive Coordinator of the

Year by Rivals.com. Morris took the Tigers to school records in terms of passing yardage, total yardage and scoring offense in his first year with the program, helping the Tigers to a 10-4 record and ACC Championship. The Tigers had a 1000-yard rusher (Andre Ellington) and a 1000-yard receiver (Sammy Watkins) for just the third time in school history, and quarterback Tajh Boyd established school marks for passing yardage, touch-down passes, touchdown responsibility and total offense in a season. Morris accomplished these statistics against a sched-ule that included six games against top 25 teams, in-cluding two victories over Virginia Tech, who was ranked third by the USA Today entering the ACC Championship. That tied or the highest ranked team Clemson has beaten in its history.

Watkins Wins Offensive Banks McFadden AwardClemson wide receiver Sammy Watkins was named the winner of the Banks McFadden Award on offense by the Greenville Touchdown Club. The honor was presented at the club’s annual year ending banquet. The award is named after former Clemson All-American of the 1930s, Banks McFadden. Watkins broke ACC freshman records for receptions (82), reception yards (1219) and touchdown receptions (12) in helping Clemson to its first ACC Championship in 20 years. Those totals were also the best in the nation among freshmen this season. His reception yardage total was the best in Clemson history regardless of class. Wat-kins had three games with at least 150 receiving yards, a Clemson career record for 150-yard receiving games. Watkins was honored by the Atlantic Coast Confer-ence seven times this year, four as ACC Rookie of the Week and three times as ACC Receiver of the Week. He was named first-team All-ACC and the ACC Rookie of the Year.

Catanzaro Accurate From Long Range Freshman placekicker Chandler Catanzaro was 22-27 (81.5 percent) on field goals this past year. That total includes 9-12 on field goals of 40+ yards, a 75-percent mark that is fifth-best in Clemson history given a mini-mum of five attempts. That 75-percent figure is the best by a Tiger since 2001, when Aaron Hunt was 5-5. Catanzaro was 6-9 on field goals of 40+ yards as a freshman in 2010 and is 15-21 in his career, a

71.4-percent figure that is best in Clemson history for a career. Donald Igwebuike is second in school history with a 60.9-percent figure (14-23) for his career. Overall, Catanzaro is 36-49 (.73.5) on field goals in his career. One of those field goals was a 43-yarder on the final play of the game against Wake Forest, a kick that gave Clemson a 31-28 victory to clinch the ACC Atlantic Division title.

Catanzaro’s Perfect Day Chandler Catanzaro was a perfect 5-5 on field goals in the win over Boston College on October 8. He con-nected on kicks of 38, 42, 18, 20, and 47 yards on a windy day in Death Valley. For his performance against Boston College, Catan-zaro won the Leather Helmet Award, an honor presented by the Boston College Touchdown Club to the MVP of the Clemson vs. Boston College game. He also was named national kicker-of-the-week by the College Football Per-formance Awards.

Catanzaro Nails Winner to Send Tigers to Charlotte Sophomore Chandler Catanzaro became the first Ti-ger in history to kick a walkoff field goal at Death Valley when he booted a 43-yard field goal on the last play of the game to give Clemson a 31-28 victory over Wake Forest on November 12. The victory culminated a come-back from a 14-point deficit and clinched the ACC Atlan-tic Division title. The last time Clemson won a game on a field goal in walkoff fashion took place at South Carolina in 2007, when Mark Buchholz kicked a 35-yarder to beat South Carolina 23-21. Catanzaro had missed a 30-yard field goal earlier in

the quarter that would have given the Tigers a three-point lead. However, the Tiger defense got the ball back and gave Catanzaro another opportunity. Even after a timeout to ice him, Catanzaro made the game-winner.

Freeman a Finalist For Rimington Trophy Center Dalton Freeman was named one of six final-ists for the Dave Rimington Trophy. The honor goes to the top center in college football. Freeman, a junior, became the first Tiger center to be named a finalist since 2001 (Kyle Young). Young was also a finalist in 2000. Freeman was the First-Team All-ACC center for this season, the first Clemson center named First-Team All-ACC since Young in 2000. Freeman started all 14 games this year and 36 of his 40 games played over his three-year career. He played 1044 snaps in 2011, more than any player in school history.

Hopkins Back-to-Back 50-Catch Seasons Clemson’s top receiver in the win over #3 Virginia Tech in the ACC Championship game was sophomore DeAndre Hopkins. The Central, SC native had seven catches for 92 yards to help Clemson to 240 passing yards on the night. Hopkins was Clemson’s second-leading receiver this year with 72 catches for 978 yards and five touchdowns. He had 157 receiving yards against North Carolina, the high figure by a Tiger this year. He had 10 catches for 124 yards in the Orange Bowl. Hopkins had 52 receptions as a first-year freshman, the second-most receptions by a freshman in Tiger his-tory. Hopkins joined Derrick Hamilton (2001-03) as the only players in ACC history with at least 50 receptions in each of his first two years.

Swinney Leads Nation in Career APR Head Coach Dabo Swinney was first among active coaches in terms of career APR with a 988 figure in 2011. Swinney has been the head coach of the Tigers for three full seasons and for half of the 2008 season. The Clemson football program’s APR score for the 2009-10 cohort (four-year period from 2006-07 through 2009-10) is third-best among the top-25 public institu-tions in the FBS. Only Rutgers and Ohio State are higher among U.S. News & World Report’s Top 25 public institu-tions in the FBS. Rutgers has the top figure among public institutions with a 988 figure, followed by Ohio State at 985. Clem-

son is third at 977 and is followed by Georgia and Florida at 976. As far as all schools that play in the FBS, Clemson is in a tie for 12th place in the nation with private schools Stanford and Vanderbilt (also at 977). Northwestern has the top APR with a 993 figure for the time period examined. Rutgers is second at 988 and Northern Illinois is third at 987.

Thomas Scores Touchdown & Catches Pass Sophomore Offensive lineman Brandon Thomas scored a touchdown at Georgia Tech on October 29 when he recovered a Tajh Boyd fumble in the endzone. He was credited with a rushing touchdown on the play, but gets no rushing yards nor an attempt since he recovered the ball. Thomas became the first Clemson offensive lineman to score a touchdown since 1966, when All-American guard Harry Olszewski scored when he recovered a fum-ble in mid-air and raced 12 yards for a score against South Carolina. Clemson won that game 35-10, giving the Tigers the ACC Championship. Thomas also had a reception in 2011 on a tipped pass and is the only Clemson offensive lineman in history with a rushing touchdown and a reception in the same year.

Watkins Named ACC Rookie-of-the-Year Wide receiver Sammy Watkins was named ACC Rook-ie-of-the-Year by the Atlantic Coast Sports Media Asso-ciation. Watkins received 43 of the 45 votes in becom-ing Clemson’s first ACC Rookie-of-the-Year since 2005 (James Davis). Watkins had three games of at least 150 receiving yards, already a school career record, and he had five games of at least 100 receiving yards. Watkins was honored with a weekly award seven times by the ACC this year, four times as the ACC Rookie-of-the-Week and three times as ACC Receiver-of-the-Week. He was also named national freshman-of-the-week three times by Rivals.com.

The Fort Myers, FL native had 345 all-purpose yards at Maryland, the fourth-most all-purpose yards in ACC history and the most in Clemson history. He also had a 284-yard game against Georgia Tech. Watkins scored 13 touchdowns overall and broke C.J. Spiller’s Clemson freshman record of 12 set in 2006. Watkins was named First-Team All-ACC, the first Ti-ger first-year freshman to earn First-Team All-ACC honors since Anthony Simmons (LB) in 1995. Watkins is Clemson’s sixth ACC Rookie-of-the-Year and the first since running back James Davis in 2005. He is the fifth wide receiver to earn the distinction and the first since Georgia Tech’s Calvin Johnson in 2004.

Watkins Reaches Rare Heights Sammy Watkins had five catches for 62 yards while playing just over two quarters in the win over Wake For-est on November 12. In the process, he became just the fourth Tiger in history to go over 1,000 receiving yards in a season. He finished with a school record 1,219 on 82 receptions in 2011. He set school records in recep-tion yards and touchdowns in a season and his 2288 all-purpose yards were second to C.J. Spiller’s 2680.

Watkins Sets All-Purpose Record at Maryland Freshman Sammy Watkins was named one of two Paul Hornung Award Players-of-the-Week for his perfor-mance in Clemson’s 56-45 win at Maryland. The Hor-nung Award, presented by Texas Roadhouse, is awarded annually to the nation’s most versatile player. Watkins had a school-record 345 all-purpose yards in the game. He had eight receptions for 105 yards and two touchdowns and five kickoff returns for 207 yards and another touchdown. He also had a 33-yard rush. The 345 all-purpose yards broke C.J. Spiller’s Tiger re-cord of 312, set against Florida State in 2009, and is the fourth-highest figure in ACC history. Watkins had three total touchdowns at Maryland, the two receiving touchdowns and an 89-yard kickoff return for a score. The three touchdowns tied the Clemson freshman record set by Ronald Williams against Appala-chian State in 1990. Watkins’ 207 kickoff return yards were the second-most in Clemson history. Justin Miller had a then-NCAA record 282 kickoff return yards and two touchdowns at Florida State in 2004. Watkins also became just the second player in the nation in the last 12 years to total at least 200 kickoff return yards, 100 receiving yards, and three touchdowns in one game. The other was Eric Page (Toledo), who did it in 2010.

Scott Named top 25 Recruiter by Rivals.com Clemson recruiting coordinator Jeff Scott was named a top 25 recruiter by Rivals.com. Scott and offensive co-ordinator Chad Morris were both named top 50 recruiters by 247sports as well. Scott was the coordinator of a Clemson class that signed 20 new student-athletes this year, including eight who have already enrolled at Clemson. He just finished his third year as recruiting coordinator and each of the three classes have been ranked in the top 20 in the na-tion, including top 10 rankings by ESPN.com each of the last two years. It is the first time since the 1980s that Clemson has had consecutive top 10 recruiting classes by a major service. Morris and his offense certainly had a positive influ-ence on Clemson’s recruiting class this year. The Tigers set records for points scored and total offense in helping the Tigers to their first ACC Championship in 20 years.

Six Tigers Take Part in NFL Combine Six members of Clemson’s ACC Championship foot-ball team were invited to the 2012 NFL Combine in In-dianapolis, IN. The Clemson players who participated were Dwayne Allen, first-team consensus All-America tight end, Andre Branch, second-team All-America defensive end, An-toine McClain, three-year starter at offensive guard, Ren-nie Moore, starting defensive tackle, Coty Sensabaugh, starting cornerback, and Brandon Thompson, second-team All-ACC defensive tackle. Allen, Branch and Thompson have all been ranked among the top 30-50 players for the NFL draft, which will be held April 26-28 in New York, NY. Clemson ranked in a tie for 12th among schools sending players to the NFL Combine this year. Alabama had the most with nine, while Georgia, Wisconsin, Miami (FL) and LSU had eight apiece. Boise State, Iowa, Okla-homa, Oregon, Penn State and Southern Cal had seven apiece. Clemson, Arizona State, California, Florida State, Michigan State, Notre Dame, Oklahoma State, North Carolina, South Carolina, Stanford and Texas A&M all had six representatives. Clemson had six players drafted in April of 2011, and has had 15 over the last three years. Fourteen of the 15 Clemson players drafted over the last three years have been active with an NFL team. The only player who hasn’t, Jarvis Jenkins, suffered a torn ACL in the preseason last year and missed the year due to injury.

At 42, Dabo Swinney is the youngest head coach in the ACC and one of the youngest in the country. However, his resumé is already stuffed with many significant accomplishments on a school, ACC, and national level. First, his mere appointment to the position was significant. In October of 2008, he was named Clemson interim head coach, replacing Tommy Bowden, who had been his position coach as a player at Alabama and been Clemson’s head coach since 1999. He led the Tigers to a 4-2 record over the remainder of the regular season, including a victory over Steve Spurrier’s South Carolina Gamecocks in the regular-season finale. That strong finish led to a Gator Bowl bid against Nebraska. On December 1, 2008, the interim tag was removed from the title and he was named the pro-gram’s head coach. At the time, there had been 28 interim head coaches at the FBS level since 1970 and those coaches had combined for a record of 26-86-2. Only one of those 28 interim coaches posted a winning record, and that was Swinney. When he was hired as the head coach, Swinney became just the second interim coach to be elevated to the head coach position at the same school during that time period. In four years (three full seasons) as the Tigers’ head coach, Swinney has directed Clemson to a 29-19 overall record (.604) and a 19-10 record (.655)

in ACC regular-season games. He has also led the Tigers to the ACC Championship game twice, won one ACC title, and has been named national coach-of-the-year. In addition to leading the program to four bowl games on the field in his young career, his players have also excelled in the classroom. In his career as a head coach, his players have an APR score of 988, best among active FBS coaches. His 2011 squad, which ended the season ranked #22 in the nation, captured Clemson’s first ACC title since 1991 when it defeated #3 Virginia Tech 38-10 in the ACC Championship game in Char-lotte, NC. It tied for the highest-ranked team the Tigers defeated in history and was the most points scored by an ACC team against Virginia Tech since it joined the league in 2004. The victory, 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 as well. The Tigers jumped out to an 8-0 record and a #6 national ranking after being unranked in the preseason. Games 3-5 marked a tough stretch, as Clemson hosted #19 Auburn, who entered with a national-best 17-game winning streak, and #11 Florida State along with a road game at #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 Blacks-burg since 1995. For his efforts, he 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 Na-tional Coach-of-the-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), Tajh Boyd (QB), Andre Branch (DE), Dalton Freeman (C), and Sammy Watkins (WR) all earned first-team honors, while Andre Ellington (RB), Chandler 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). Branch, a finalist for the Ted Hendricks Award, had an ACC-best 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 #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 Andre 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 third 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 regular-season 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 N.C. State. The Wolfpack were ranked #23 in the nation and were leading the ACC in scoring. But the Clemson defense held N.C. State 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 pass defense. C.J. Spiller was a unanimous first-team All-American in Swinney’s first year, and defensive end Da’Quan Bowers duplicated the feat on the defensive side of the ball. Bowers won the 2010 Bronko Nagurski Award as the nation’s top defensive player, and he received the Ted Hendricks Award as the top defensive end. He was also a finalist for the Bednarik Award and Lombardi Award. He led the nation in sacks (15.5) and was 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 First-Team 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 all FBS coaches in their first full year behind Oregon’s Chip Kelly. The nine wins tied for fourth-most in ACC history for a first-year head coach. He also led the Tigers to their first bowl win since 2005 in the 21-13 victory over Kentucky in the Music City Bowl. The Tigers reached the nine-win mark play-ing 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 TCU one of its stiffest tests in a 14-10 Horned Frog victory on September 26. Swinney’s first season included a six-game winning streak at midseason, a streak that saw the Tigers score at least 34 points in every game, a first in school history. During that stretch, the Tigers defeated #8 Miami (FL) on the road. The 40-37 overtime victory tied for the highest-ranked team Clemson has defeated on the road in school 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 nationally-televised win over Florida State and Bobby Bowden, the Hall of Fame coach who is second in victories in FBS history. The winning streak brought Clemson to a #15 national ranking in the AP poll after the ACC Atlantic Division clinching victory over Virginia on November 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 scor-ing offense (31.1), while the defense was 20th in total defense (314.3) and seventh in pass defense (162.8). Clemson finished in a tie 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 first-team 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. Overall, the Tigers held down three positions on the All-ACC First-Team and five spots on the second team. Only Virginia Tech had more representatives. Swinney became Clemson’s interim head coach on October 13, 2008 when Tommy Bowden stepped down. Then on December 1, 2008, the “interim” tag was removed, as he took over on a full-time basis as the Tigers’ 25th head coach. He had been Clemson’s assistant head coach for two years and had been in charge of the wide receivers since 2003. Swinney took over a 3-3 team and led it to a Gator Bowl bid against Nebraska. He guided Clemson to a 4-1 record over the last five games of the regular season, with the only loss at #24 Florida State. That 4-1 record to end the regular season tied for the best mark in the ACC for that time period. Four of his six regular-season opponents were later bowl participants. Swinney hit the ground running in his first week as interim head coach, as he prepared for a 5-1 Georgia Tech team. He had to re-organize his staff, and regroup his team and Clemson Nation in just five days. While the Tigers lost by four points, he accomplished many goals in that first week through his outstanding leadership. One of the most impres-sive demonstrations of unity came during the team’s “Tiger Walk.” Prior to the game against the Yellow Jackets, Swinney decided to have his team depart buses outside the Lot 5 parking lot near the WestZone at

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 of 1995, he received a master’s degree in business administration from Alabama. He became a full-time assistant coach at Alabama in February of 1996 under Head Coach Gene Stallings (now in the Hall of Fame) and coached a total of five seasons there on a full-time basis. He was assigned to coach the Crimson Tide’s wide receivers and tight ends in 1996, a season that saw Alabama win the SEC Western Division title and make an Outback Bowl appearance. The following year, he solely coached the tight ends under Head Coach Mike DuBose. 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 at least 10 wins, five top-10 finishes, one national title (1992), three SEC Champion-ships (1989,92,99), and five SEC Western Division titles (1992,93,94,96,99) as a player and coach. He has coached the #2 receiver at Alabama (Milons) along with the #1 (Kelly) and #2 (Hamilton) receivers in Tiger history. 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 of 2001 through February of 2003, Swinney was in private business in Alabama. He married the former Kathleen Bassett in 1994. They have three sons, Will (13), Drew (11), and Clay (8).

Memorial Stadium and experience the gameday atmosphere. Dressed in jackets and ties, the team was embraced by thousands of Tiger fans who stood 10 deep for the 200-yard march to the stadium. It was the centerpiece of his “All In” theme in his first week as head coach. It is a tradition that has continued. In his second week as head coach, an off-week, he invited the Clemson student body to a practice, and nearly 1,000 students showed up. He spoke to the group and actually allowed some students to participate during practice, as they were selected to attempt a field goal, punt against a live rush, and field a punt. He also took the entire team to the Greenville Children’s Hospital for a visit with young men and women fighting cancer. He has continued his community involvement through his foundation. His foundation made the first contribution to the cancer fund established for former Boston College linebacker Mark Herzlich. Many schools followed his lead the remainder of the season. The Liberty Mutual Coach-of-the-Year award evaluates coaching perfor-mances 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. The 1993 Alabama graduate joined the Clemson staff prior to the 2003 season. In his first nine years as an assistant or head coach, the Tigers have finished in the top 25 of the final polls five times and totaled 15 wins over top-25 teams, including victories over Florida State (5), Miami (FL) (2), Virginia Tech (2), Auburn (1), and Tennessee (1), during his tenure in Tigertown. 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. 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) in eight of his nine seasons at Clemson, also an unprecedented feat at Clemson. 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 wideout 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 All-ACC selection who led the league in receiving yards per game and touchdown catches (11). He also finished second in receptions per game with a school-record 88 catches, tied for the second-highest total in ACC history. His 11 touchdown catches were a Tiger record as well. Kelly is Clemson’s and the ACC’s career reception leader with 232 catches. He also owns the school touchdown reception record with 20. The previous record of 18 was held by Glenn Smith, who established the record in 1951. The Alabama native has a reputation as one of the top recruiters in the nation. In 2006, he was listed as the #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 #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 October 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.
