Final Clemson Notes
2014 Football Season
Clemson 15th in Final Polls
Clemson ranked 15th in the final AP and USA Today polls for the
2014 season. The Tigers joined Alabama, Florida State and Oregon as the
only schools to finish in the top 25 for the fourth straight year.
The Tigers are also joined by Alabama, Florida State, Ohio State
and Oregon as the only schools with a top-15 finish each of the last three
seasons. Clemson was ninth by USA Today in 2012 and seventh in 2013.
Clemson’s No. 15 final ranking in 2014 was the highest of the
season. It marked the first time since 2003 and just the eighth time in
school history that Clemson’s final ranking was its best for the course of
the season. The Tigers were ranked No. 16 in the AP preseason poll.
The 2014 season marked the fourth straight year and fifth time in
the six full seasons Swinney has been Clemson’s head coach that the Tigers had the same or higher final AP ranking than their preseason ranking.
Clemson is the only school in the nation to post the same or
higher final top 25 USA Today ranking than its preseason ranking each of
the last four years.
Clemson’s only losses in 2014 were to teams that finished in
the final top 10 of the AP and USA Today polls (Florida State, Georgia and
Georgia Tech). It marked the third straight year Clemson’s only losses
were to teams that finished in the final top 10 of both polls.
This Clemson team finished the year with wins over rival South
Carolina and Oklahoma in the Russell Athletic Bowl. It marked the first time
since 2005 that Clemson finished the season in that fashion and it was just
the third time since 1993 that Clemson ended the season with a victory
over South Carolina and a bowl victory.

Clemson Won 9 of Last 10
Clemson won nine of its last 10 games, just the eighth time in
school history the Tigers have done that. Clemson was one of just eight
schools nationally to win at least nine of its last 10 games. The others were
Ohio State, Florida State, Marshall, Oregon, TCU, Michigan State and
Boise State.
It is interesting to note that every year Clemson has closed regular season play with at least eight wins in its last nine games, the Tigers
have gone on to win the bowl game. The win over Oklahoma made it an
8-0 record in that situation.
Clemson Exceeding Expectations
Clemson has finished at least the same in the postseason
ranking as its preseason ranking each of the last four years. One season
in each poll, 2011 USA Today, and AP 2013, the Tigers matched their
preseason ranking.
But, the other years Clemson finished better than their preseason ranking. Clemson was 16th in the preseason of both the AP and
USA Today polls prior to 2014 and then finished 15th in both.

Clemson Closes with 40-6 win over Oklahoma
Clemson’s 34-point margin of victory was the largest in Clemson
history in a bowl game. The previous record was a 30-0 win over Illinois in
the 1990 Hall of Fame Bowl. That was the last game for the now second
winningest class in Clemson history.
Clemson’s 34-point victory margin over 24th-ranked Oklahoma
tied the school record for the largest victory margin over a team ranked in
the top 25 in either of the major polls entering the game. It was the largest
www.ClemsonTigers.com
since 1950, when Clemson beat Missouri 34-0 at Missouri.
This was the second largest margin of defeat for Oklahoma
in a bowl game. The only one larger is a 36-point victory by Southern
California (55-19) in the 2005 Orange Bowl. This is the first time Clemson
has won three straight bowl games since the 1986-90 era when the Tigers
won five in a row. The fourth win in that streak was against Oklahoma in
the same Orlando Citrus Bowl Stadium. Clemson closed the season on a
three-game winning streak for the first time since the 2005 season when
the Tigers won their last four. The last of that streak was also in the Citrus
Bowl in Orlando, a win over Colorado.
Clemson had noteworthy plays on offense and defense to
start the game. On defense, Clemson’s Grady Jarrett and Ben Boulware
combined to stop Oklahoma running back Samaje Perine for a one-yard
loss. It was the 123rd tackle for loss of the year and established a Clemson season record. Last year’s team had the previous best with 122.
Then, on Clemson’s first offensive play, Cole Stoudt hit Artavis
Scott for a 65-yard touchdown pass. It was the fifth time this year Clemson
scored on its first drive of the game, the first time Clemson had done it on
the first play of the game.
The 65-yard touchdown pass from Cole Stoudt to Artavis Scott
on the first play of the game was the first play call by Clemson co-offensive
coordinator Tony Elliott, who was working from the press box.
The result of the play resembled the first play call made by former Hall of Fame Coach Frank Howard, whose first call as Clemson head
coach in 1940 against Presbyterian resulted in an 18-yard touchdown run
by George Floyd.
Clemson forced five turnovers vs. Oklahoma, the most it has
forced in the 39 games Brent Venables has served as Clemson defensive
coordinator. It was the most by any Clemson defense since forcing six
against North Carolina in 2011. Clemson has allowed Oklahoma to score just 12 points and
score just one touchdown in eight quarters of football in the Orlando Citrus
Bowl Stadium. They came into those games averaging at least 30 points
per game each season, including 38 a game this year. Clemson defeated
Oklahoma 13-6 in the 1989 Citrus Bowl.
ACC Teams have just three total wins over Oklahoma over the
years. Clemson (2-0) has two of the three. Miami is the only other ACC
team to beat Oklahoma as a member of the ACC (2009).
Clemson Seventh in Wins last Four Years
Clemson has a 42-11 record over the last four years, tied for the
seventh most wins among FBS schools during that time. The Tigers have had
four straight seasons of at least 10 wins, joining Alabama, Oregon and Northern
Illinois as the only schools that can make that claim. The 42 wins are the most
in any four-year period in Clemson history.

Clemson Individual Notes from win over Oklahoma
Cole Stoudt became just the third Clemson quarterback to
throw for 300 yards in a bowl game. The others are Tajh Boyd (twice) and
Brandon Streeter (1999 vs. Mississippi State). Stoudt threw for a career
high 319 yards vs. Oklahoma. It is the only game in his career he threw for
at least 300 yards against an FBS school.
Adam Humphries started at wide receiver for Clemson vs.
Oklahoma. It was his 53rd career game, the most in school history at the
wide receiver position. Humphries, DeShawn Williams and Robert Smith
all played in their 53rd games for Clemson vs. Oklahoma. They never
missed a game in their careers. Williams played his final game as a Tiger
on his birthday.
Ben Boulware scored his first career touchdown in the first
period on a 47-yard interception return for a score. It was Clemson’s first
interception return for a touchdown in a bowl game since Arlington Nunn
against Illinois in the Jan. 1991 Hall of Fame Bowl.

Final Clemson Notes
Ammon Lakip made a 49 yard field goal in the second period. His longest as a Tiger also tied for the longest in Clemson bowl history. Obed Ariri had a 49-yarder against Pittsburgh in the 1977 Gator Bowl.
Grady Jarrett had a career high 3.5 tackles for loss in his 48th
and final game as a Clemson Tigers.
Artavis Scott had 114 yards receiving and Mike Williams added
112. It marked the first time Clemson had a pair of 100-yard receivers in a
bowl game.
Vic Beasley had a sack and three tackles for loss giving him
33 sacks for his career, first in Clemson history and fourth in ACC history. Only Chris Slade (Virginia, 40.5), Reinard Wilson (Florida State, 35.5)
and Peter Boulware (Florida State, 34) have more. Beasley finishes with
52.5 tackles for loss, fourth in Clemson history.
Clemson Playing Well vs. Best Teams in History
Clemson won 42 games over the last four years, the most in its
history, Dabo Swinney’s program defeated some of the best programs in
college football. A look to the history of the game shows that Clemson has
an 11-3 record the last four seasons against teams ranked in the top 18
in college football history in terms of total wins. That includes a 3-0 bowl
record against Ohio State (5th most wins), Oklahoma (6th) and LSU (11th).
Clemson’s 2014 senior class had those 11 wins against eight
of the top 18 winningest programs in college football history. The teams
on that list Clemson defeated were Ohio State, Oklahoma, Georgia, LSU,
Virginia Tech (twice) Auburn (twice), Georgia Tech (twice) and Syracuse.
Clemson will have the opportunity to add another to that list in
2015 when Notre Dame comes to Clemson. The Irish are second in total
wins in college football history with 882.
It is also interesting to see that Clemson has eight wins over
teams ranked in the top 14 in total wins during bowl games. That includes
a 5-1 record against top six teans Nebraska, Ohio State and Oklahoma.
Stoudt Goes Out in Style
Clemson senior quarterback Cole Stoudt played the top game
of his four-year career in his final game, the Tigers 40-6 win over Oklahoma on December 29 at the Russell Athletic Bowl. The native of Ohio
completed 26-36 passes for 319 yards and three touchdowns to pace the
Clemson offense. He had a career high 174 passing efficiency rating.
Stoudt completed a 65-yard touchdown pass to freshman Artavis
Scott on Clemson’s first offensive play, then threw a 26-yard scoring pass
to Mike Williams in the second period. He fired his third scoring pass of
the game to Germone Hopper, a 24-yard pass in the third period that put
the Tigers up 40-0.
Stoudt, who finished the season with a 6-2 record as a starter,
was named the Most Valuable Player of the game, the second time this
year he had been named a game MVP. In the win over Boston College he
completed 29-45 passes for 285 yards and won the Leather Helmet Award,
which is given annually to the top player in the Clemson vs. Boston College game.
Stoudt became the fifth Clemson quarterback to be named the
MVP of a bowl game in his final game for the Tigers. But he was just the
second senior QB to do it since 1978. He joined Banks McFadden (1940
Cotton Bowl), Bobby Gage (1949 Gator Bowl), Steve Fuller (1978 Gator
Bowl) and Woody Dantzler (2001 Humanitarian Bowl) as the senior quarterbacks who completed their careers in style by being named MVP of a
bowl game victory.
Alexander and Scott Named First-Team Freshman All-Americans
Mackensie Alexander, the first cornerback in Clemson history
to start every game as a freshman, was named a first-team Freshman
All-American by the Football Writers of America. Alexander and Virginia
safety Quin Blanding were the only ACC players named to the 30-man
team.
Clemson freshman receiver Artavis Scott was named a firstteam Freshman All-American by ESPN.com and 247 Sports. Scott had 76
receptions for 965 yards and eight scores in 2014.
Alexander started all 13 games during the Tigers 10-3 season that included wins over South Carolina and Oklahoma to finish the
campaign. Clemson was ranked 15th in the final AP and USA Today polls
released on Tuesday.
The native of Immokalee, Fla had 22 tackles on 18 first hits and
four assists, and added six passes broken up and a recovered fumble. He
had a strong game against Oklahoma in the Russell Athletic Bowl when he
had four tackles and two passes broken up. Sterling Sheppard, Oklahoma’s top receiver with a 19-yard per catch average for the season, had just
one reception for 13 yards against Alexander and the Clemson secondary.
Alexander was a big reason Clemson led the nation in pass
efficiency defense and ranked second in fewest passing yards allowed.
www.ClemsonTigers.com
2014 Football Season
Clemson led the nation in total defense, and tackles for loss, and was third
in scoring defense.
Alexander is the fifth Clemson player to make the Football
Writers Freshman All-America team since it began in 2001. The others to
make it are Justin Miller (CB, 2002), Barry Richardson (OT, 2004), Brandon Maye (LB, 2008), and Sammy Watkins (WR, 2011)
Scott’s reception total was third best in the nation among freshmen and ranks second in school history for a freshman. Only Sammy Watkins 82 receptions in 2011 rank higher among Clemson freshmen.
The native of Oldsmar, Fla. became the first player in Clemson
history to record 10 receptions in consecutive games when he had 10-66
in the win over Louisville, then had 10-72 the following week in the victory
over Boston College. He finished the regular season with 7-185 and two
scores in the win over South Carolina, the most receiving yards in the
history of the rivalry by a Clemson player, and the most in any game by a
Clemson freshman.
Venables Named Defensive Coordinator of the Year
Clemson coach Brent Venables was named Defensive Coordinator of the Year by Footballscoop.com. Venables guided the Clemson
defense to a number-one ranking in 11 different statistical categories this
year, including total defense, tackles for loss, and yards per play. Clemson led the nation in tackles for loss in 2014 with 131, a
school record. The Tigers allowed 260 total yards per game, the best
by a Clemson defense since the 1990 team led the nation by allowing
just 219 yards per game. Clemson ranked in the top five nationally in
rushing defense, total defense, pass defense and total defense.
Clemson had four players named first-team All-ACC this year according to the ACC Coaches, more than any other school. Those players
are defensive end Vic Beasley, defensive tackle Grady Jarrett, linebacker
Stephone Anthony and cornerback Garry Peters.
Beasley First-Team Associated Press All-American
Clemson defensive end Vic Beasley was named a first-team
All-American by the Associated Press. Beasley, a second-team AP
All-American in 2013, is the first Clemson player to be named first-team
All-American by the Associated Press since 2011 when Dwayne Allen (TE)
and Sammy Watkins (all-purpose) were both named. Beasley is the first
Clemson defensive player to make the first-team according to AP since
Da’Quan Bowers in 2010. Beasley was also a first-team selection by the Walter Camp
Foundation and the Football Writers Association and a second team choice
by the Football Coaches Association.
Beasley led the ACC in sacks with 12 and in tackles for loss
with 21.5. He leaves Clemson as its all-time sack leader with 33, and he is
fourth in ACC history in that category.
The native of Adairsville, Ga. was named a finalist for the
Lombardi Award, the Bednarik Award and the Hendricks Award and was
chosen ACC Defensive Player of the Year by the ACC Sports Media and
ACC Coaches.
Jarrett Named to All-Bowl Teams
Clemson defensive tackle Grady Jarrett was named to All-Bowl
teams announced by the Associated Press and NFL.com for his performance in the Tigers 40-6 Russell Athletic Bowl victory over Oklahoma on
December 29.
Jarrett, who graduated in December, had a career high 3.5
tackle in Clemson’s victory. He also added a caused fumble and a quarterback pressure as the Tigers held Oklahoma to 32 points under their
season average.
Jarrett finished the season with 73 total tackles, tied for third
on the team, and had 10 tackles for loss, also tied for third. He added 12
quarterback pressures, second best on the Clemson team.
Swinney Named FCA Coach of the Year
Dabo Swinney was named the Grant Teaff National Coach of
the Year by the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Swinney was presented
the award at an FCA event held in conjunction with the American Football
Coaches Association Convention in Louisville, Kentucky in January.
Swinney led Clemson to a 10-3 season in 2014, including a
6-2 mark in the ACC. The Tigers won at least 10 games for the fourth
consecutive year and Swinney joined Nick Saban as the only FBS head
coaches to accomplish that feat. The Tigers ended the season with three
consecutive wins for the first time since 2005, including triumphs over rival
South Carolina, 35-17, in the regular season finale, and a 40-6 win over
No. 24 Oklahoma in the Russell Athletic Bowl.
Clemson finished 15th in the AP and USA Today polls, marking
the third straight year Clemson was a top 15 program.

Final Clemson Notes
2014 Football Season
This is the second time in four years Swinney has been honored
with a national coach of the year award. In 2011 he was named the recipient of the Bobby Dodd Award. He was also a finalist in 2014.
Clemson Defense was Dominant in 2014
Clemson’s defense for the 2014 season led the nation in 11
different statistical categories and has to be regarded as one of the best in
school history, if not the best. Brent Venables unit led the nation in total
defense, allowing 260.8 yards per game. That is the first time since 1990
that Clemson led the nation in total defense and the 260.8 figure was the
best for a Clemson team since that 1990 team allowed just 219 yards per
game.
Clemson also led the nation in pass efficiency defense for the
first time with a 98.3 passing efficiency rating, the only team in the nation
to score under 100 rating points. Clemson also led in first downs allowed
per game (14.2), third-down conversion defense (27.4%), tackles for loss
per game (10.1), sack yardage (356), fewest yards per pass attempt allowed (5.3), fewest yards per play allowed (4.03), fewest plays of 10 yards
or more allowed (126), scoring defense vs. FBS teams with a winning
record (18.6) and yardage on tackles for loss (553).
Additionally, Clemson was third in the nation in scoring defense,
allowing 16.7 points per game, second in passing yardage allowed per
game (157.4), and fifth in rushing defense (103.4). The passing yardage
allowed per game was the best by a Clemson team since 1981.
Clemson was the only school in the nation to rank in the top five
of all four of the major defensive categories, scoring, rushing, passing and
total defense. It was the first time in Clemson history the Tigers ranked in
the top five in the same year.

torn ACL on Friday, December 12 and did not play in the Russell Athletic
Bowl against Oklahoma.
Watson originally suffered an injury to his PCL in the Georgia
2014 Clemson Tiger Football

Final Clemson Notes
2014 Football Season
Tech game on November 15. He then tore the ACL four days later while
doing some drills on the side during a Clemson practice.
The freshman came back for the South Carolina game on November 29 and wore a knee brace to protect the ACL. He threw for 269
yards and two scores and also ran for two in leading Clemson to a 35-17
victory over the Tigers archrival. He had a passing efficiency of 227, best
ever by a Clemson quarterback against South Carolina given a minimum
of 15 attempts.
Watson finished the season with 93 completions in 137 attempts
for 1466 yards and 14 touchdowns. He threw just two interceptions and
had a completion percentage of .679. He also ran for 200 yards and five
scores.
Watson’s passing efficiency of 188.6 would have been first in the
nation, just ahead of Heisman Trophy finalist Marcus Mariota of Oregon,
had he played two more games. Qualifiers must play in 75 percent of a
team’s games with an average of 15 pass attempts. Watson had the 15
attempts per game, but played in just eight of the 13 games.
Watson also averaged 10.7 yards per attempt, best in the nation
among quarterbacks with at least 125 pass attempts. Clemson had a 4-1
record with Watson as the starting quarterback. His top game was his
first career start when he completed 27 of 36 passes for 435 yards and six
touchdowns against North Carolina.

First Down Margin Indicator of Victory
Most coaches talk about the importance of turnover margin
as the key statistic in determining the outcome of a game. Under Dabo
Swinney, Clemson is 36-4 when it wins the turnover margin, a 90 percent
winning mark. The Tigers are 10-15 when they lose the turnover margin,
just a 40 percent chance of winning.
Actually there are a couple of statistics that are even bigger indicators in the Swinney era. Clemson is 48-4 when it has more first downs
than the opposition under Swinney, including 38-0 the last four years. The
streak is actually 39 straight wins when the Tigers have more first downs
dating to the 2010 Florida State game when Clemson had a 25-16 advantage in that area, but lost the game 16-13.
Total offense is also a big indicator. Clemson is 54-5 under
Swinney when winning the total offense statistic, a .914 winning percentage. The 2014 senior class was 39-2 when it had more yardage than the
opponent.
Clemson Ended Season Strong
As stated above Clemson won nine of its last 10 games to finish
with a 10-3 record. It was the first time since 2005 that Clemson finished
the season with a win over South Carolina and a bowl win. Clemson did
it in dominating fashion with a 35-17 win over South Carolina and a 40-6
win over Oklahoma. It was the first time Clemson had won both games by
at least 18 points since 1989 when Clemson finished with a 45-0 win over
South Carolina and a 27-7 win over West Virginia in the Gator bowl.

Forty-nine Different Starters
It was amazing that Clemson led the nation in total defense this
year because the Tigers had to deal with lineup changes. Only two players
started all 13 games on defense, Vic Beasley, and Grady Jarrett. But the
www.ClemsonTigers.com
next man up theory worked, including the Russell Athletic Bowl when Ben
Boulware had a 47-yard interception return for a score as a sub for normal
starting linebacker Stephone Anthony.
A total of 49 different players started at least one game at the 24
positions (punter and kicker included), this year. That is the most different
starters over the course of the season by five. Dating to the 1986 season,
the second most in a season is 44. The fewest different starters since
1986 is 31.
Gallman Finished Strong
Clemson freshman running back Wayne Gallman finished
strong. The red-shirt from Loganville, Ga, had 769 rushing yards to lead
the Clemson team by 521 yards. He didn’t have much of a lead seven
games into the season, but he finished strong. Over the last six games,
Gallman rushed 113 times for 571 yards, an average of 95.2 yards per
game at a 5.1 yards per carry average.
He was Clemson’s top rusher vs. Oklahoma with 55 yards, and
had three 100-yard games over his last six games of the season. That
included a career high 191 yards in 27 carries and a touchdown in the win
over South Carolina. That was the most rushing yards by a freshman in
a single game since 1952 when Don King had 234 at Fordham, and the
second most rushing yards by any Clemson back against South Carolina.
Gallman has also contributed as a pass catcher out of the backfield as he had 24 receptions for 108 yards and a touchdown. That gave
him 877 yards from scrimmage for the year.
Four Tigers Named First-Team All-ACC by Coaches
Clemson defensive players Vic Beasley, Grady Jarrett, Garry
Peters and Stephone Anthony all were named first-team All-ACC by the
ACC Football Coaches on December 10. Clemson had the most first-team
players on the defensive side of the ball according to the ACC Coaches.
Beasley was named ACC Defensive Player of the Year as well
by the ACC Coaches. The Clemson graduate defensive end was named
ACC Defensive Player of the Year by the ACC Sports Media and was a
finalist for the Lombardi Award, the Bednarik Award and the Hendricks
Award. Clemson receivers Artavis Scott and Mike Williams, were named
second-team All-ACC by the sports media and third team by the ACC
Coaches. Clemson offensive guard David Beasley, kicker Ammon Lakip,
and defensive backs Robert Smith and MacKensie Alexander were honorable mention selections by both services. Kalon Davis was an honorable
mention selection by the media.
Swinney Names Co-Coordinators
Clemson Head Coach Dabo Swinney announced on December
2 that Tony Elliott and Jeff Scott will serve as co-Offensive Coordinators on
his staff for the Russell Athletic Bowl and beyond. Chad Morris, Clemson’s
offensive coordinator the last four seasons, became the head coach at
SMU.
Elliott finished his fourth season as Clemson’s running backs
coach. Scott has been on Swinney’s staff as wide receivers coach for all
86 games and seven years he has been Clemson’s head coach. Both
Elliott and Scott are Clemson graduates and former Tiger wide receivers.
Elliott will be the play caller.
Elliott, who turned 35 on November 26, is a 2002 Clemson graduate who was a co-captain of Clemson’s 2003 team that finished with a 9-4
record and a top 25 ranking. An outstanding student, Elliott was a recipient
of the Atlantic Coast Conference’s Weaver-James-Corrigan scholarship in
2003, and was a first-team Academic All-ACC selection.
Elliott began his coaching career in 2006. He served as wide
receivers coach at South Carolina State for two seasons, then served in
the same capacity for three seasons at Furman.
Elliott became Clemson’s running backs coach in 2011 and the
Tigers have won 42 games since he joined the staff, the most in Clemson
history in any four-year period.
That includes 27 wins over ACC teams, also the most in any
four-year period in Clemson history. The 2011 Clemson team won the ACC
Championship and the 2012 and 2013 teams finished in the Top 10 of the
USA Today poll.
Elliott coached current Arizona Cardinals running back Andre
Ellington, who led the NFL in yards per rush in 2013 and has been a leader
of the Cardinals team in 2014. Ellington was a 1,000-yard rusher for the
Tigers in 2011 and 2012, while Rod McDowell was a 1000-yard rusher for
the 2013 Tigers. Freshman Wayne Gallman had 769 yards this year and had a
191-yard performance in Clemson’s win over South Carolina , the most by
a Clemson freshman in any game since 1952.
Scott, who turned 34 on December 28, is a 2003 Clemson

Final Clemson Football Notes
graduate who was a wide receiver and holder on the Tiger bowl teams of
1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002. Clemson finished 15th in the nation in 2000.
His first job in coaching was as the head coach at Blythewood
High School near Columbia, S.C. in 2006. He took that first year program
to a 14-1 record and the state championship, a first for any school in the
state of South Carolina in its initial year competing in the sport.
After spending the 2007 season as a wide receivers coach at
Presbyterian, he came to Clemson as a graduate assistant at the start of
the 2008 season. When Swinney was made interim head coach in October
of that season, Scott became a full-time assistant coach.
Beginning with the 2009 season, Scott also took on the role of
recruiting coordinator and Clemson has had a top 20 recruiting class according to ESPN.com each year he has been in charge of that aspect of
the program. Clemson’s 2015 recruiting class is currently ranked in the top
five nationally by most services.
Scott has coached some of the top wide receivers in Clemson
history, as his list of former players includes current NFL players Sammy
Watkins, DeAndre Hopkins, Martavis Bryant and Jaron Brown. Watkins
and Hopkins were first-round draft choices.
Two of his current players, freshman Artavis Scott and sophomore Mike Williams, were named second-team All-ACC.
Streeter Named Clemson QBs Coach and Recruiting Coordinator
Brandon Streeter was named quarterbacks coach and recruiting coordinator at Clemson University, by head coach Dabo Swinney on
December 10.Streeter, who played quarterback at Clemson from 19961999, served as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at the
University of Richmond the last three years.
Streeter guided Richmond to a top 20 ranking in passing offense
each of the last three years and was a major reason Richmond reached
the second round of the FCS playoffs in 2014.
Streeter has been around successful programs. Six of the last
seven teams he worked with as an offensive coordinator finished the
season in the top 25 of the FCS poll. Five of the last eight teams were
conference champions or co-champions.
Richmond finished with a 9-5 record and a bid to the FCS
playoffs in 2014 thanks to a passing offense that averaged 314 yards per
game, eighth best in the nation. The Spiders averaged 461 yards per
game in total offense, 19th best in the nation, ranked second in third-down
conversions (.516) and third in first downs (332).
Richmond was seventh in the nation in passing yards in 2013
with 328.3 yards per game, ranked 24th in total offense with 441 yards per
game, and ranked 13th in completion percentage at .657. Virtually every
Richmond individual game, season and career school passing record was
established during that 2013 season.
Streeter’s 2012 Richmond offense was 20th in passing and 21st
in scoring. The Spiders offense saw five players earn All-CAA recognition,
while FB Kendall Gaskins and TE Kevin Finney were honored as AllAmericans.
Streeter served as quarterbacks coach at Liberty for six years,
and was the offensive coordinator for the last three. In 2011, Liberty led
the Big South in passing yards and pass efficiency, and finished second
in scoring offense and total yards, averaging 35.9 points and 426.5 yards,
respectively. The Flames were eighth in the nation in scoring and 20th in
total offense.
In 2010, Liberty averaged 36.45 points per game, a better mark
than in 2009 when the Flames led the nation in scoring at 36.36 points per
game. The Flames were third in the country in scoring offense and second
in total offense (460) during that 2010 season.
Streeter came to Liberty after serving as a graduate assistant
coach at Clemson for two years in 2004 and 2005, when Swinney was an
assistant coach. Streeter worked with quarterback Charlie Whitehurst during those two seasons. Streeter served as an assistant coach at Charleston Southern
for two years. In 2002, Streeter coached the Buccaneers’ quarterbacks,
while he made the move to running backs coach and recruiting coordinator
in 2003.
Streeter was a three-time letter winner with the Tigers from
1997-99. He was Clemson’s starting quarterback over the last two
years. He played in just eight games due to injury as a senior in 1999,
helping Tommy Bowden’s first Clemson team to a Peach Bowl bid. He
threw for 1466 yards that season, the same total Deshaun Watson had in
eight games in 2014.
When he graduated, Streeter had broken or tied 11 Clemson
records during his career, throwing for 3,506 yards and 17 touchdowns.
He is still 11th in Clemson history in passing yardage, ninth in completions,
13th in touchdown passes and eighth in completion percentage.
A three-time member of the ACC Academic Honor Roll, Streeter
www.ClemsonTigers.com
2014 Season
became Clemson’s inaugural winner of the Brandon Streeter Award in
1999, which is annually given in his honor to a student-athlete in any sport
who has succeeded athletically despite a physical injury.
Streeter also played professionally as a member of the Carolina
Cobras, an Arena Football League team, during the spring and summer in
2001.
The native of Gettysburg, Pa. earned his bachelor’s degree in
health science from Clemson in 1999 and a master’s degree in human
resource development from Clemson in 2001.
Streeter and his wife Ashleigh have three children, Chamberlin
Brooke (6), Foard Michael (4) and Mason Morgan (born August, 2014). His
father, Barry Streeter, has been the head coach at Gettysburg since 1978
and he is among the top 25 coaches in Division III history in total wins.
Williams Has 1000-yard season
Sophomore Mike Williams had 112 yards receiving in the win
over Oklahoma and went over the 1000-yard mark for the season, the
sixth different player to have at least 1000 receiving yards in a season.
It marked the fourth straight year Clemson had a 1000-yard receiver.
Sammy Watkins had 1219 as a freshman in 2011, DeAndre Hopkins had
1405 in 2012, and Watkins had 1464 as a junior in 2013.

Clemson Has 10th Longest Bowl Streak
Clemson has been to a bowl game every year since 2005, or a
streak of 10 consecutive years. That is tied for the 10th longest streak in
the nation. The streak began when Clemson last played in Orlando at the
Champs Sports Bowl. The streak dates to a bowl win over Colorado in
Orlando in 20015.
The last year Clemson did not go to a bowl was 2004 and the
Tigers were bowl eligible that year. So, Clemson has a streak of 16 consecutive years of bowl eligibility.
The ACC is well represented on the chart below. Florida State
has the longest streak at 33 years, Virginia Tech is second at 22 years in a
row and Georgia Tech is tied for third at 18 consecutive years. Clemson’s
opponent in this game, Oklahoma is fifth on the list.

Clemson Had Two Shutouts
Clemson recorded its second shutout of the season in the win
over Georgia State, a 28-0 Tigers victory. Earlier in the year Clemson shut
out N.C. State, 41-0. This is the first time Clemson has shutout two teams
in the same year since 1998. That was an odd year in that Clemson had
two shutouts on defense and two on offense.
This is the first time Clemson has registered a pair of shutouts
in the same year over FBS teams since 1990 when Clemson had shutouts
against Long Beach State in the opener and Illinois in the bowl game.
The shutout against N.C. State was the first for Clemson against
an ACC team that finished the year with a winning record since a 17-0 win
over Maryland in 1995.

Final Clemson Notes
2014 Football Season
Freshmen Led Clemson in Many Categories
Clemson had a strong senior class in 2014 that was 28 strong,
but many freshmen made strong contributions. A look to the statistics
shows that the team’s leader in rushing, receptions and touchdown passes
were freshmen.
First, leading rusher Wayne Gallman gained 759 yards on 161
carries, 10th best in the ACC.
True freshman Artavis Scott led the Tigers in receptions with
76, 19 more than any other Tiger, and he had 965 receiving yards, second
best on the team. His eight touchdown receptions were best on the team
and best among freshman nationally.
Deshaun Watson leads the Tigers in touchdown passes with 14
in just 137 pass attempts. He also paces the team in pass efficiency with
a 188.6 figure, a mark that is best in the nation among quarterbacks with at
least 125 attempts.
Clemson had the ACC Rookie of the Week five of its 12 regular
season games this season, including three times for Deshaun Watson
and twice for Wayne Gallman. Watson is just the sixth former Tiger to be
named ACC Rookie of the Week at least three times. The others are Sammy Watkins (4), Anthony Simmons (4), C.J. Spiller (3), Chuck McSwain (3)
and James Davis (3).
Clemson .727 Winning Percentage This Decade
Clemson has a .727 winning percentage (48-18) for the second
decade of this century and that is the second best over Clemson history.
There are many more games to be played this decade of course, but only
the decade of the 1980s is better in terms of percentage.
In the 1980s Clemson had a .767 winning percentage under
Danny Ford, the fifth best winning percentage in college football for that
time period. Clemson won .658 percent of its games in the 1950s under
Frank Howard, 15th best in the nation for that decade.

accomplish the feat.
The duo did it again against South Carolina in the regular
season finale. Gallman had 191 yards rushing and Scott had 185
yards receiving. It marked the first time Clemson had a 180 yard

An October to Remember from Defensive Standpoint
Clemson had a 4-0 record in the month of October and a strong
defense had a lot to do with it. Clemson allowed just 9.0 points, 213 yards,
10.8 first downs and 9-61 conversions on third down. Clemson ranked first
in the nation in all of those categories for the month.
Clemson downed N.C. State 41-0 to open the month, the first
shutout for the Tigers against an ACC team since 1998. They followed
that up with a 23-17 win over Louisville, the number-one ranked total
defense for the season. The Tigers then downed Boston College, the #8
ranked total defense in the nation, by a 17-13 score. Dabo Swinney’s
team then closed the month with a 16-6 win over Syracuse. The Tigers
held Syracuse under 100 yards in rushing and passing.

Pinion Breaks Own Record
Bradley Pinion had three punts inside the 20 in the win over
Georgia State and finished the season with 28, a school record. He broke
the record in that Georgia State game, one more than he had last year
and the total (24) that Kevin Laird had in 1996.
Over Pinion’s first 102 punts as a Tiger he had 42 punts inside
the 20 and no touchbacks. The streak was broken at Boston College on
October 25. He now has two touchbacks in his career.
Pinion has also been outstanding in terms of touchbacks on
kickoffs. He has 36 touchbacks on 74 kickoffs and has forced the opposition to start their possession inside the 21 yard line on 13 other occasions.
Back to punting, Pinion had 76 punts for a 42.6 average and
had 17 punts of at least 50 yards. He has a net punting figure of 40.3
yards per attempt, one of the five best in Clemson history.Pinion, a junior,
announced after the season that he would turn professional.
Happy Birthday Mike Williams
Mike Williams celebrated his 20th birthday in grand style on
October 4, 2014 in Clemson’s 41-0 win over NC State. Williams had six
receptions for a career high 155 yards and two touchdowns. It was his
second straight game with at least six catches for at least 120 yards and
two scores.
It is regarded as one of the top birthday performances in
Clemson history. Rodney Williams (no relation) was 13-18 passing for
193 yards and two touchdowns on November 1, 1986, his birthday and
perhaps the best birthday performance on record.
Mike Williams had 6-122 and two scores in the win over North
Carolina the previous week, giving him 12-277 and four touchdowns over
the two-game period. So how many times did Hopkins and Watkins have
back-to-back games of at least six catches, 120 yards and two scores?
The answer is once by Watkins. As a freshman, Watkins had 10-155 and
two touchdowns in a win over Auburn, then the next week had 7-141 and
two receiving touchdowns in a win over Florida St. Hopkins never did it.
Surprisingly, even though Hopkins had 27 career touchdown receptions, including a record 18 in 2012, he never had back-to-back games
with two or more touchdown receptions. Watkins did it twice.

Beasley Sets Clemson Career Sack Record
Vic Beasley became Clemson’s career leader in sacks when he
had one in the win over Louisville on October 11. It gave him eight for the
season and 29 for his career.
Beasley went ahead of all-time greats Michael Dean Perry and
Gaines Adams in setting the record. Perry and Adams both had 28 in their
respective careers. Perry was on the Clemson sidelines for the game.
Adams is deceased.
It marked the eighth consecutive game that Beasley had a sack.
The Clemson record is nine in a row by Da’Quan Bowers. Beasley’s
streak ended at Boston College when he did not have a sack.
Beasley has had a remarkable run to the record when you consider he has started just 25 games in his career. All 33 of his sacks have
come in his last 39 games. It is amazing to think that in 2010 he was the
scout team quarterback as the Tigers prepared to play Georgia Tech.

Offensive line Went the Distance Consecutive Games
Clemson had the same five players start and play every snap
in the offensive line in wins over Louisville and Boston College. Both
teams had top 10 rankings in total defense entering the game. The group
played all 73 plays against Louisville and all 81 at Boston College.
The Clemson lineup included Kalon Davis and Isaiah Battle
at the tackles, David Beasley and Reid Webster at the guards and Ryan
Norton at center. Clemson had been down a couple of players due to
injury as Joe Gore has been out with an appendectomy and Jay Guillermo
is recovering from a broken foot.
So how often has Clemson played the same five in the offensive
line for an entire game? The two games listed above represent the fifth
and sixth times this century. Prior to the Louisville game this year Clemson last played the same five offensive linemen the entire game against
Virginia Tech in 2012. The Tigers also did it against South Carolina in
2002 and against Virginia and North Carolina in 2000.
This is the first time on record (since 1987) that Clemson has
played the same five offensive linemen the entire game for consecutive
games.It is interesting to note that Clemson is 6-0 since 2000 when the
same five offensive linemen play the entire game.
Humphries Goes over 100 Punt Return Yards
Adam Humphries had eight punt returns for 107 yards in Clemson’s win over Louisville. It was the first 100-yard punt return game for
a Clemson player since C.J. Spiller had 119 punt return yards on three
attempts in 2009 against Boston College. He was named the ACC Special
Teams Player of the Week for his performance.
Humphries’s day included a 72-yard punt return for a score, the
first Tiger to return a punt for a score since Spiller went 77 yards for a
score in the aforementioned game against Boston College.
Humphries’s performance was the fifth best punt return game in
Clemson history in terms of yardage.

Tigers Register Shutout against Wolfpack
Clemson had one of its best all-around performances in recent
years with the 41-0 win over NC State on October 4. It was the largest
margin of victory for the Tigers against the Wolfpack and the first time
Clemson had registered a shutout against any ACC team since 1998
against Maryland. It was the first shutout in any game since Dabo Swinney became Clemson head coach. It was Clemson’s first shutout against
anyone since Dabo Swinney became head coach.
Clemson’s defense held NC State to 35 yards passing and
154 yards of total offense, the best figures for the Tigers against an ACC
foe since a victory over Boston College in 2009. NC State came into the
2014 Clemson Tiger Football

Final Clemson Notes
game averaging 40 points and 505 yards per game and had scored at
least 40 points in four consecutive games, a first in NC State history. NC
State had just four yards total offense in the first half and had just 79 yards
through three quarters.
Watson and Williams Honored by ACC
Clemson’s passing combination of Deshaun Watson and Mike
Williams were both honored with player of the week selections by the ACC
on October 6 for their performances against NC State. For the second
straight week Watson was named the ACC Offensive Back of the Week
and the ACC Rookie of the Week, while Williams was named the ACC
Receiver of the Week.
Watson completed 17-29 passes for 267 yards and two scores,
and picked up 62 rushing yards on 15 attempts and scored two more
touchdowns, giving him 329 yards of total offense in the 41-0 win over NC
State.
Over victories against North Carolina and NC State, Watson
completed 44-65 passes (.677) for 702 yards and eight touchdowns. That
is a Clemson record for passing yards in a quarterback’s first two career
starts and the eight touchdowns tie the record. Charlie Whitehurst had
eight touchdown passes in his first two starts as quarterback in 2002.

Other Clemson Defensive Notes on Clemson win over NC State
•Clemson had 18 first downs before NC State had its first with
five minutes left in the second period.
•It was just the second time in the last 34 seasons than an ACC
team had 35 yards passing or less against the Tigers. The only other time
was in 2009 when Boston College had just 25 yards passing against the
Tigers.
•NC State had just one first down passing in the game.
•NC State averaged just 1.8 yards per pass attempt for the
game.
•The Pack averaged just 2.7 yards per play and had less than
two yards a play through the first three periods.

•14 of NC State’s first 15 plays were for two yards or less. NC
State had five three-and-outs to start the game.
Kearse Saves the Day
Jayron Kearse had a career high 10 tackles in the win over
Louisville, but none was bigger than his last tackle of the game. With
under a minute left, Louisville quarterback Will Gardner completed a pass
www.ClemsonTigers.com
2014 Football Season
to James Quick, who raced 73 yards down the field before he was tackled
by Kearse at the eight yard line. Kearse’s hustle, prevented Louisville from
taking a 24-23 lead with under a minute left.
Louisville got to the one-yard-line after the catch, but could not
score on a fourth down pass that was deflected by DeShawn Williams.
Kearse has made a habit of making big plays the last two years.
In 2014, the 6-4 safety had 67 tackles to rank fifth on the team. He also
had seven passes broken up, and two interceptions.
Record Setting Day for Watson vs. North Carolina
Clemson freshman quarterback Deshaun Watson established
or tied 12 Clemson or ACC records in the win over North Carolina. The
most prominent was setting the Clemson mark and tying the ACC mark
for touchdown passes in a game with six. He threw them to four different
players.
Watson became the fifth ACC player regardless of class to
throw six touchdown passes in a game. The others are Tom Savage of
Pittsburgh vs. Duke last year; Dan Ellis of Virginia vs. Buffalo in 1999;
Chris Weinke of Florida State vs. Maryland in 1999 and Steve Slayden of
Duke vs. Georgia Tech in 1987.
It was also the most touchdown passes in a game by an ACC
freshman. The previous record was five held by Jameis Winston of Florida State (vs. Maryland in 2013), Chris Rix of Florida State (vs. Maryland
in 2001) and Philip Rivers of NC State (vs. Indiana 2000).
He also established the ACC record for total offense in a game
by a freshman with 463. He broke the previous record of 447 by Ben Bennett of Duke against Wake Forest in 1980.
He also tied the North Carolina opponent record for touchdown
passes in a game. He joined former Boston College Heisman Trophy winner Doug Flutie as the only North Carolina opponent to throw six touchdown passes in a game.

Watson’s 435 Passing Yards Second in Clemson History
Deshaun Watson threw for 435 yards in the victory over North
Carolina on September 27, the second most passing yards in a game in
Clemson history. He completed 27-36 passes for 435 yards and six touchdowns. He had one interception. He was just 21 yards short of breaking
Tajh Boyd’s single game record of 455 yards passing at Syracuse last
year.
Watson did break the record for most yards passing by a
Clemson player in Memorial Stadium, a facility that dates to 1942. The
previous mark was 426 yards by Tajh Boyd against N.C. State in 2012.
Fifth on the list below for passing yards in a game is the 420
Charlie Whitehurst had at Duke in 2002. Like Watson against North Carolina, that was Whitehurst’s first career start. He never broke that total
the rest of his career. His high total the rest of his career was 331 against
Duke in 2003.

Clemson Defense Outstanding at Florida State
Clemson held Florida State to just 13 net yards rushing as the
Tigers registered five sacks and 10 tackles for loss. The 13 net rushing
yards were the fewest allowed by a Clemson defense in a Tigers loss.
The negative plays set Florida State backwards 62 yards during
the course of the game. Florida State averaged 0.5 yards per rush. Overall, Clemson held Florida State to 4.8 yards per play and allowed just 4-15
conversions on third down.
The fewest rushing yards allowed in a Clemson loss prior to the
Florida State game was 21. Clemson allowed 21 in a loss to NC State in
1998 and 21 to Duke in a loss in 2004. Over the last 37 years Clemson is
now 25-3 when allowing 25 yards rushing or less.
Watson 4-1 as Starter
Deshaun Watson had a terrific first career start at quarterback
in the win over North Carolina. He completed 27-36 passes for 435 yards
and six scores. He was the first true freshman to start at quarterback
since 1994 (Nealon Greene vs. South Carolina).
Watson is 4-1 as a starter with wins over North Carolina, NC
State and Louisville.
Greene was 2-3 as a starter in 1994, Patrick Sapp was 1-3 in
1992, Willie Jordan was 1-5 in 1975 and Steve Fuller was 0-1. So Clemson true freshmen quarterbacks are a combined 7-12 over the years.
Three of the seven wins are against North Carolina. Patrick
Sapp defeated a top 20 North Carolina team in 1992, 40-7, and two years
later Nealon Greene upset a #12 North Carolina team in Chapel Hill, 2817. The 40-7 win led by Sapp is the second largest margin of victory for
Clemson over a ranked opponent.
So Clemson true freshmen quarterbacks are 3-0 all-time
against North Carolina and 5-13 against everyone else.

Beasley One of Three Returning Consensus All-Americans
•Vic Beasley was named a Consensus All-American by the
NCAA for 2013 and 2014. He is the 8th Clemson junior to earn Consensus All-America honors, and is the first to return to Clemson for his senior
year since the NFL started drafting players before the end of their eligibility.
•Bennie Cunningham (1974), Terry Kinard (1981) and William
Perry (1983) were all named Consensus All-American as juniors, but had
no option to turn professional. Since 1989, the first year juniors could
turn pro early, Anthony Simmons (1997), Keith Adams (2000), Da’Quan
Bowers (2010) and Dwayne Allen (2011) have all been named Consensus
All-Americans as juniors. All four of those players decided to turn pro.
•So Beasley is the first Clemson junior Consensus All-American
to return for his senior year since 1983.
•A look to the list below shows that the players who came back
for their senior year benefitted. Cunningham, Kinard and Perry were all
first-round draft picks after their senior years. All went on to win Super
Bowl Championship Rings.

Swinney Ranked Among Best College Coaches by Forbes Magazine
Clemson Head Coach Dabo Swinney is ranked sixth in the
nation when it comes to a school’s return on its investment according to
Forbes Magazine in a release made public in August.
The publication ranked college coaches,”not just based on the
number of wins and losses alone, but the strength of those wins, as well
as how much a coach wins and loses as compared to his salary and the
total resources he has.”
The data was considered for the last two years combined.
Swinney and the Tigers are 22-4 overall, 14-2 in the ACC in that time. The
Tigers have finished in the top 10 in the nation in the USA Today poll each
of the last two years and have recorded three wins over top 10 teams,
including wins over LSU and Ohio State to conclude each of the last two
seasons.
Notre Dame’s Brian Kelly was first in the rankings, followed by
Florida State’s Jimbo Fisher and Alabama’s Nick Saban.

Rate
The Clemson athletic department again achieved exceptional
ratings in the NCAA’s most recent Graduation Success Rate reports
released October 28, in which data from the 2004-2007 academic years
were included. The overall athletic department rate of 91 ranked third
nationally among public institutions.
The 91 percent rate marked an institutional high in the 10th year
of the NCAA metric. Clemson’s score improved from last year’s reported
87, marking the sixth consecutive year of improvement in the overall
graduation rate.
The overall Graduation Success Rate is tied for 11th among all
Football Bowl Subdivision schools, and ranks in the top 20 percent of all
346 institutions reporting. Clemson’s 91 was tops among public schools in
the Atlantic Coast Conference and fourth in the conference overall.
“From IPTAY’s emphasis on support of Vickery Hall, to the
emphasis placed on graduation and preparation for life by each of our
coaches, it’s good to see the numbers continue to show the results of the
hard work of everyone in our department,” director of athletics Dan Radakovich said. “Clemson continues to show it is a leader in both the academic
and athletic fields, and credit belongs with each of our student-athletes
who have worked to achieve both on and off the field.”

2014 Football Season
Clemson to Play Notre Dame Four Times 2015-23
Clemson will play Notre Dame four times between the 2015 and
2023 seasons, the Atlantic Coast Conference announced on Tuesday.
The league announced games Notre Dame will play against all ACC opponents until 2025.
Notre Dame comes to Clemson next season on October 3. The
Tigers will travel to South Bend for games in Notre Dame Stadium in 2020
and 2022. Notre Dame will then return to Clemson in 2023. Exact dates
for the games in 2020, 2022 and 2023 are to be determined.
Next year’s contest will be the first appearance for the Fighting
Irish at Memorial Stadium since 1977 when a pair of top 15 football teams
met in Death Valley. A fifth-ranked Notre Dame football team led by quarterback Joe Montana, defeated a 15th-ranked Clemson team led by Steve
Fuller, 21-17. Both quarterbacks went on to play on Super Bowl winning
teams in the NFL.
Notre Dame went on to win the 1977 National Championship.
Notre Dame won seven of its last eight games that year by at least 24
points, including a 38-10 win over number-one ranked Texas in the Cotton
Bowl. The only close game the Irish had was the four-point decision at
Clemson, a game Clemson led 17-7 entering the fourth period. Thirty-six
players in that game went on to play in the NFL.
When Clemson goes to Notre Dame in 2020 it will be Clemson’s
first appearance in South Bend since 1979. That year Clemson won by
a 16-10 score. It was just the second time in the last 40 years (1940-79)
that Notre Dame’s seniors lost their last home game. Billy Lott scored a
touchdown late in the game on a 26-yard run to give Clemson the win and
overcome a 10-0 deficit.
Danny Ford led Clemson to that victory as head coach of the
Tigers. Thirty-one-years old at the time, Ford is still the second youngest
coach and the youngest since 1934, to beat Notre Dame in Notre Dame
Stadium.
Clemson to Face Texas A&M in 2018-19
Clemson and Texas A&M have agreed to a two-game series that
will be played during the 2018 and 2019 seasons. Both schools made the
announcement Thursday night.
Clemson will travel to Texas A&M for a contest at Kyle Field in
College Station, Texas on September 8, 2018, while the Aggies will come
to Clemson’s Memorial Stadium on September 7, 2019.
“We are looking forward to playing Texas A&M as the two
schools share a rich military heritage and of course passionate fan bases,”
said Clemson Director of Athletics Dan Radakovich. “We know our fans
make Clemson a great game day experience and the Aggie fans make
Kyle field also one of the great venues in all of college football.”
The two schools have played four times previously and Texas
A&M holds the series lead 3-1. But, Clemson did win the last meeting, a
25-24 Tigers victory at Clemson in 2005 when Jad Dean kicked a 42-yard
field goal with just two seconds left. Texas A&M won the previous year, in
College Station, by a 27-6 score.
“We are excited to play the Clemson Tigers, who have been on
Texas A&M’s non-conference schedule previously,” Texas A&M Director
of Athletics Eric Hyman said. “As a fellow land-grant institution, Clemson
is very similar to Texas A&M with a great football tradition and passionate
fans. This will be a great non-conference series for both schools.”

GAME 1
Clemson21
Georgia45
Aug. 30, 2014 • SANFORD Stadium • Athens, Ga.
It was an engaging matchup throughout the first
half, but No. 12 Georgia pulled away to defeat No. 16
Clemson 45-21 in Athens behind an impressive rushing
attack.
It was the Tigers’ first loss in a season-opener under Head Coach Dabo Swinney. Clemson’s last seasonopening loss came in 2008 against Alabama.
Georgia’s ground game, led by Todd Gurley, amassed
328 yards, with Gurley accounting for 198.
In his first career start, Cole Stoudt was out to show
the Clemson offense was not all Tajh Boyd and Sammy
Watkins. And in the first half, he did not disappoint.
Stoudt and the offense orchestrated an effective 12play, 70-yard scoring drive on the offense’s first series,
capped by a one-yard touchdown run by D.J. Howard.
Georgia rallied behind quarterback Hutson Mason
and leaned on the dynamic, superstar ability of Gurley,
as the Bulldogs scored two touchdowns to end the first
quarter with a 14-7 lead.
Tiger fans saw a quick glimpse of the future when
first-year freshman Deshaun Watson, one of the highest-rated dual-threat quarterbacks in the nation coming out of high school, entered the game in the second
quarter. He led a six-play, 78-yard scoring drive, ending
with a 30-yard passing touchdown to Charone Peake to
even the score 14-14.
The Clemson defense played effectively in the first
half, holding Georgia to 68 passing yards and 45 rushing yards, and Gurley amassed only 39 of those 113
total yards. But after Clemson took a 21-14 lead on
C.J. Davidson’s one-yard touchdown run in the second
quarter, Gurley broke through, taking a kickoff return
100 yards to tie the score again.
Georgia kicked a field goal in the third quarter to
take the lead for good, while the Bulldog defense kept
Clemson off the scoreboard during the entire second
half. Georgia scored on three consecutive offensive
plays in the fourth quarter to pull away.
Clemson’s offense finished the night with 291 yards
of total offense, while Georgia had 459 total yards. The
difference came on the ground, where Georgia totaled
328 rushing yards compared to Clemson’s 88 rushing
yards.
The Bulldogs used an average starting field position
of its own 39 to claim victory, while the Tigers’ average
starting field position was their own 19. Ten of Georgia’s
15 offensive drives started outside its own 32, while
Clemson’s best starting field position in 15 offensive
drives was its own 32.
C.J. Davidson was the Tigers’ leading rusher with 43
yards and a touchdown on 12 carries, while Mike Williams had three receptions for 88 yards. Peake had the
Tigers’ lone touchdown catch of the day.

Sept. 6, 2014 • Memorial Stadium • Clemson, S.C.
In their home opener, the No. 23 Clemson Tigers
faced another type of Bulldog in SC State, looking to
bounce back from the previous game in Athens, Ga.,
and the Tigers did not disappoint, cruising to a 73-7
win.
Clemson finished the day with 735 yards, while
holding SC State to just 44, with the defense not giving up an offensive touchdown. The 73 points were the
most by Clemson since scoring 82 points against Wake
Forest in 1981, while the 66-point margin of victory
was Clemson’s largest since 1957, when the Tigers defeated Presbyterian College 66-0.
“This was a great win and I’m proud of our team
today,” said Head Coach Dabo Swinney. “We had to
respond after last week and I think we did, and that’s
what matters. The coaches, the support staff and the
players - everyone put forth the effort we needed.”
On offense, Clemson moved the ball effectively, finishing with 268 rushing yards and 467 passing yards.
Both quarterbacks had efficient games, as Cole Stoudt
finished with 302 passing yards and a touchdown along
with a pass efficiency rating of 163.4. Deshaun Watson
had 154 passing yards, three touchdowns and a pass
efficiency rating of 342.6. Watson’s first game in Death
Valley was all he could have ask for.
“It was great,” said Watson. “Seeing all the orange
in the stands and all the fans and Clemson Family support, and then running down the Hill with all my ‘brothers’ for the first time was a great experience.”
In regard to Watson’s performance against SC State,
Offensive Coordinator Chad Morris liked what he saw
out of the offense and praised Watson’s progress and
poise on the field, while also highlighting the Tigers still
have two good quarterbacks to work with.
“You’ve got a great competition going on, and Cole is
our starter, but that’s a pleasure to have right now. We
obviously know where Deshaun is, and he is the future
down the road in years to come, but we’re excited about
Cole as well.”
The performances by other freshmen did not go unnoticed, as fans saw plenty of potential from more than
just Watson. Wide Receiver Artavis Scott finished the
day with six receptions for 164 yards and two touchdowns, passing both Aaron Kelly and Sammy Watkins
in single-game receiving yards by a Tiger freshman.
The previous record was set by Kelly against Temple in
2006 and Watkins against Auburn in 2011.
“It’s a good accomplishment for me,” said Scott.
“I’m excited and I was blessed and thankful for it, but
I know we have to handle more things than that.”
Scott, who earned ACC Receiver-of-the-Week honors, also stated that the offense’s performance would
be good momentum heading into the bye week before
hitting the road to Tallahassee against Florida State.
“It’s going to keep building our momentum, practice
is going to be high intensity like we’ve been doing and
when this game comes, it’s going to be a big week for
us, and we’re going to be ready when it comes,” added
Scott. “Coming back out, we don’t want to get comClemsonTigers.com
placent. We want to keep doing the same things we’re
doing, moving the ball and keeping defenses on their
heels and moving forward and building and building.”
The Tigers got the job done in the running game
as well as the passing game. Wayne Gallman led all
rushers with 77 yards on 10 carries. Gallman made the
most of his opportunities and did not let his chance get
away from him.
“I had a lot of fun today, and I think it was just the
beginning of something new,” stated Gallman. “I think
we have a whole lot more in store. The offensive line did
a great job getting their blocks.”
Gallman was not the only freshman running back to
see his first extended game action. Adam Choice logged
plenty of snaps on the day, finishing with 12 carries for
74 yards and a touchdown, the first of his Tiger career,
while averaging 6.2 yards per carry. He also added two
catches for 15 yards.
“We gave it our all and everything opened up,” said
Choice about the Tigers’ success in the running game.
“The offensive line did a great job and everything was
there, so I believe if we work like that, good things will
happen.”
The defense’s dominating performance was highlighted by its 14 tackles for loss by 12 different players. The 44 yards allowed by the Tiger defense were the
fewest since 1963, when Clemson held Virginia to 41
yards.

The No. 22 Clemson Tigers battled the defending National Champions and threatened to end No. 1
Florida State’s 18-game winning streak, but the Seminoles prevailed 23-17 in overtime when Karlos Williams
scored on a 12-yard walkoff run. The loss dropped the
Tigers to 1-2 overall and 0-1 in the ACC. Florida State
improved to 3-0 overall and 1-0 in league play.
The Tigers came into Doak S. Campbell Stadium
with a prime opportunity to upset the defending titleholder, but a late turnover and crucial mistakes proved
costly in a game that could simply be described as a
missed opportunity.
It was Clemson’s first game against a top-ranked
team since 1999, when the Tigers hosted the Seminoles. It was also the Tigers’ first overtime game since
2010.
A bright spot from the disappointing night, freshman
quarterback Deshaun Watson entered the game on the
Tigers’ third drive and played the rest of the game, finishing 19-28 passing for 266 yards along with 30 rushing yards and a touchdown. Watson was named ACC
Rookie-of-the-Week for his efforts. The Tiger offense
finished with 407 total yards and running back C.J. Davidson led the Tigers with 54 yards on 12 carries.
Clemson’s defense came to play early and often,
amassing five sacks, with Vic Beasley registering two.
Clemson also limited Florida State to just 317 total
yards, including only 13 yards on 27 carries.
The Tigers kept Sean Maguire under pressure for
most of the night, intercepting two passes in the fourth
quarter. However, Maguire and the Seminole offense
made just enough plays to overcome the Tigers’ pass
rush to stay undefeated.

GAME 4
North Carolina35

Sept. 27, 2014 • Memorial Stadium • Clemson, S.C.
In his first career start, Deshaun Watson passed for
435 yards and six touchdowns, as the Tigers earned
their first ACC victory with a 50-35 win over North Carolina at Memorial Stadium. It was the first time in history
Clemson scored exactly 50 points in a game.
Watson’s six touchdowns made him the first Tiger
in history to throw six touchdowns in a game and the
first freshman in ACC history to do so. His 435 passing
yards were also a freshman record, and he became just
the fifth ACC player, regardless of class, to throw six
touchdowns in a game.
Watson continued to show poise beyond that of a
freshman quarterback, proving himself early and often
in his first career start, though he was not too surprised
about what to expect in his starting debut.
“I was expecting to go out there and execute, and
that’s what we did,” said Watson. “It just happened that
my offensive line was big and my receivers made great
catches. And I’m happy with the records.”
Watson earned ACC Co-Offensive Back-of-the-Week
and ACC Rookie-of-the-Week honors for his efforts.
But Watson was not the only story of the Tiger offense. Sophomore Germone Hopper led Clemson with
139 receiving yards and two touchdowns, with Mike
Williams close behind with 122 receiving yards and two
touchdowns. Clemson finished the night with 528 yards
of offense.
“We have a lot of good, young receivers, so we just
have to go out there and make a lot of plays,” said Williams about the receivers’ performance. “We came in
Monday, put the game against Florida State to bed and
got focused on North Carolina and had great preparation.”
Hopper was certainly more involved in the passing
game, and he stepped up when his number was called.
“Coach (Swinney) told me before the game I would
be a big part of the offense early, so I was ready to
play,” said Hopper.
Offensive Coordinator Chad Morris was pleased with
the offense’s performance against the Tar Heel defense
and likes what he is seeing out of an offense with a lot
of young talent.
“A lot of excitement,” said Morris. “Felt like all week
long, this game was a pivotal moment for our program.
If we came out and played with the effort that we did
last week (against Florida State) and win and play well
and get better, then it’s going to set the tone for the rest
of the season.
“It was really exciting to see these guys come out
and play like they played, from play-two on. We don’t
have a lot of veterans on our side of the ball with experience, but we have young guys making plays, and it’ll
make an old man out of you real quick, but I’m excited
for the future.”
When asked about Watson’s performance moving forward, Morris certainly had some strong words about the
freshman quarterback’s budding future.
“To come out and put on a performance like he did,
from the second-effort throws, his patience in the pockClemsonTigers.com
et, his ability to see the field and extend plays with his
feet...that’s what you like to see. I’m extremely proud
of him, and I think he provides a spark for this football
team, and not just for this offense, but the entire football team.”
The Clemson defense brought pressure early and often, including a safety courtesy of defensive end Shaq
Lawson, while fellow defensive end Vic Beasley notched
two sacks, bringing his career total to 27, one shy of the
Tiger record.
“We’ve been battle tested in games like Georgia and
Florida State, so we know what it takes to win the big
games,” said Beasley. “We’re definitely back on track
now.”
When asked about the sack record, Beasley said it
was one of the goals he made upon returning for his
senior season.
“I came back and wanted to break that record, and I
look forward to doing so.”
Bradley Pinion was a factor on special teams, averaging 46.6 yards on his five punts, with three punts
inside the 20. He was named ACC Co-Specialist-of-theWeek.
Head Coach Dabo Swinney loved the team’s response and its ability to bounce back from the previous
week’s overtime loss at No. 1 Florida State.
“We did what we had to do to win,” said Swinney. “It
was great to be back home. The crowd was awesome.
We have another big week coming up and we’re going
to have to play well against NC State.”

Oct. 4, 2014 • Memorial Stadium • Clemson, S.C.
Clemson recorded its first shutout in the Dabo Swinney era, as the defense responded to the challenge set
by the coaches in practice all week to limit big plays
from opposing offenses, blanking NC State 41-0.
It was the Tigers’ first shutout since 2008 against
SC State and the first against an ACC opponent in 16
years. It was also the largest margin of victory in series
history by either team.
“Our guys were invested and had a great week of
practice after a humbling second half last week,”
said Defensive Coordinator Brent Venables. “Our guys
played with incredible passion. I loved the intensity and
discipline these guys played with.
“I’m happy that they’ve finally been rewarded for all
their hard work. Our guys have really bounced back and
had a strong performance. Offense, defense and special
teams all complemented each other.”
On offense, it was business as usual, as Deshaun
Watson opened the game with a seven-play, 82-yard
drive, capped by a 56-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Mike Williams, setting the tone for the rest of the
day.
Watson, who earned ACC Offensive Back-of-theWeek and ACC Rookie-of-the-Week honors, finished 1729 passing for 267 yards and two touchdowns while
adding two rushing touchdowns and 62 yards on the
ground. Clemson also found a spark in the running
game outside of Watson, as freshman Wayne Gallman
finished with 13 carries for 58 yards, averaging 4.5
yards per carry.
On his 20th birthday, Williams received both of
Watson’s gift-wrapped touchdown passes of 56 and 31
yards, leading all players with 155 receiving yards. He
continued to establish his presence as a dynamic threat
in the Tigers’ receiving corps. Williams was named ACC
Receiver-of-the-Week for his efforts.
Clemson’s offense finished with 493 total yards,
including 226 rushing yards, averaging 4.5 yards per
carry. Perhaps the biggest stat of the day was the lack
of turnovers by the Clemson offense.
“We ran a balanced offense today,” said Watson.
“I give all of the credit to our offensive line, the running backs found holes and our receivers made me look
good. We’re getting better each week. I give the offensive line all the credit. I love those guys.”
Offensive Coordinator Chad Morris praised the offense for its balanced attack against the Wolfpack and
was pleased with the Tigers’ performance, especially in
the turnover battle. Clemson did not commit a turnover.
“I think what you’re seeing is a group of guys getting better every week,” stated Morris. “No turnovers is
huge, we stress that all the time, and we want to run
the football. We want to be more effective in the run
game and really challenge our offensive line, so I’m really proud of those guys and how they responded.
“I’m just proud of our great team effort overall. It’s
hard to shut anyone out.”
The defense faced a challenge in quarterback Jacoby
Brissett, who entered the game leading the ACC with
@ClemsonFB
13 passing touchdowns. The Tigers stepped up to the
challenge, holding NC State to only 36 total yards in
the first half. The front seven was spearheaded by Vic
Beasley, who tied Clemson’s all-time career sack record
of 28 while collecting a caused fumble and return for a
touchdown.
Clemson’s defense forced three turnovers on the day,
with caused fumbles by Stephone Anthony and Kellen Jones along with Beasley’s. The defense refused to
yield, holding the Wolfpack to 154 total yards of offense. Grady Jarrett led all tacklers with nine.
“We definitely built off of last week and are showing
our progress over the last few weeks as a whole,” said
Jarrett. “We prepared for it all and we played what we
had and had a really strong game on defense.”
More than anything, the Tigers’ performance in all
aspects of the game was all Swinney could ask for from
his team, and they did not disappoint.
“This is my first shutout as a head coach, so this is
extra special for me,” added Swinney.

Oct. 11, 2014 • Memorial Stadium • Clemson, S.C.
The No. 25 Clemson Tigers pulled out a 23-17 victory over Louisville with their backs against the wall,
holding the Cardinals on a last-minute, goal-line stand
to preserve a hard-fought victory in the first-ever meeting between the two schools.
With freshman quarterback Deshaun Watson forced
to leave the game due to a broken hand, Cole Stoudt
stepped in and went 20-33 passing for 162 yards.
Freshman Artavis Scott led all receivers with 10 receptions for 66 yards, while freshman Adam Choice led all
rushers with 61 yards on 16 carries.
Head Coach Dabo Swinney praised Stoudt for his
resiliency coming off a shoulder injury and appreciated
how his senior led the team once Watson went down in
the first quarter.
“Cole didn’t take a snap in practice all week because
of his shoulder,” admitted Swinney. “Instead of pouting
and crying, all he did was choose to have a good attitude and go back to work.
“Cole told me, ‘Coach, I’ll be ready when you need
me.’ It does your heart good to see a young man rise
up and be there for his teammates. I couldn’t be more
proud of him.”
Clemson’s defense and special teams play won the
game for the Tigers, which included a 72-yard return
by Adam Humphries on the Cardinals’ first punt of the
game. Humphries, who was named ACC Specialist-ofthe-Week, became the first Tiger to return a punt for a
touchdown since C.J. Spiller scored on a 77-yard punt
return against Boston College in 2009.
Another bright note on special teams, placekicker
Ammon Lakip made all three of his field-goal attempts,
including two of 40+ yards, which led to praise from
Swinney.
“He went 3-3 with one off the backboard,” joked
Swinney about Lakip’s 40-yard field goal off the right
upright that gave Clemson the lead for good on the last
play of the third quarter. “I think he called that one.”
In the second quarter, Garry Peters made one of the
game’s biggest plays when he sacked Reggie Bonnafon
and forced a fumble, which was recovered by Tavaris
Barnes in the endzone for the go-ahead touchdown.
Vic Beasley also recorded a sack to bring his career
total to 29 and set Clemson’s all-time sack record, moving ahead of Michael Dean Perry and the late Gaines
Adams.
“It’s definitely special to be among names like Michael Dean Perry and Gaines Adams,” said Beasley.
“They helped set the example for me.”
Defensive Coordinator Brent Venables couldn’t say
enough about how his defense performed at every turn
during the game, coming up with the big plays when
they needed them, especially on Louisville’s final drive.
“They played with everything they got, and we needed it today,” said Venables. “These guys showed resiliency, toughness and courage. Our guys were ready for
it, and I’m really proud of them.”
In his first career start in place of an injured Tony
Steward, sophomore linebacker Ben Boulware led the
ClemsonTigers.com
defense with 12 tackles, including a game-high three
tackles for loss and one sack. Safety Jayron Kearse
made a game-saving tackle on James Quick after a 73yard catch and run late in the game, which would have
tied the score and put the Cardinals ahead 24-23 with
a successful extra-point attempt.
“That’s something we go through every day in practice,” said Kearse. “We have to get to the ball.”
With Louisville out of timeouts, the Clemson defense
kept the Cardinals out of the endzone on the final drive,
stuffing a potential game-winning touchdown run on
second down and forcing the Cardinals to spike the ball
on third down.
On fourth down from the Clemson two, Will Gardner’s pass was broken up by defensive tackle DeShawn
Williams, sealing the Tigers’ victory. The game was put
into the hands of the defense, and it responded in spectacular fashion.
“That’s just heart,” added Swinney. “That’s what it’s
all about right there, seeing a group of guys play like a
family that have each other’s back.”

GAME 7
Clemson17
Boston College 13
Oct. 18, 2014 • ALUMNI Stadium • Chestnut Hill, Mass.
For the second game in a row, the Clemson defense
needed to make one final stop to give the Tigers a win.
And two games in a row, the Clemson defense did just
that.
C.J. Davidson scored from 32 yards out with 9:35
remaining in the game and No. 22 Clemson’s relentless
defense held from there in a 17-13 win over Boston
College at Alumni Stadium.
Boston College quarterback Tyler Murphy did plenty
of scrambling in the second half and had his team in
Tiger territory late in the fourth quarter. But the Clemson defense forced four straight incompletions and the
Tigers preserved the victory to take home the O’RourkeMcFadden Trophy for the sixth time in seven years.
“Two weeks in a row, our defense has had to stand
up four downs in a row in the redzone, and we got it
done,” said Head Coach Dabo Swinney. “This was another character win, the second week in a row.”
The Tigers held the Eagles to just 120 rushing yards,
no small feat considering Boston College entered the
game with a top-five rushing offense in the nation.
“We’ll take it,” stated a relieved Defensive Coordinator Brent Venables after the game. “You feel like you
need a therapist after a game like that. But we found a
way to win and made some huge stops.
“We have to be better disciplined. We’re going to
have to rep all those trick plays in practice until we
learn how to stop them. But I love our guys for the resolve and the fight that they showed. They were a topfive rushing team in the country and we really shut them
down.”
Cole Stoudt played well in his first start since the
Florida State game on September 20. The senior finished with a career-high 29 completions on 45 attempts for 285 yards. He directed the Tigers to 398
yards of total offense and 22 first downs.
“I still had a lot of shoulder pain this week, but I just
tried to battle,” said Stoudt, who received the Leather
Helmet Award as the game MVP. “Our coaches put together a great gameplan and it was a great team effort
to get this done today.”
Wayne Gallman scored the first Tiger touchdown,
scampering in from 17 yards for his first career score.
Gallman finished with 15 carries for 39 yards, while
another Tiger freshman, wideout Artavis Scott, had 10
receptions for 72 yards. Mike Williams added eight
catches for a game-high 128 yards.
After Boston College took a 13-10 lead in the fourth
quarter, the Clemson offense responded when it needed
it most. On third-and-long during a rain shower, Stoudt
found Williams down the sideline for a 32-yard gain. A
few plays later, Davidson found paydirt from 32 yards
out to put the Tigers ahead for good.
Clemson’s defense took advantage of several miscues from the Eagle offense, including a big drop in
the first quarter on a potential touchdown pass and an
underthrow on a successful reverse play in the third
quarter. The Eagles also missed an extra point, which
forced them to go for a touchdown on the final drive.
@ClemsonFB
“We saw a lot of contributions from a lot of guys,”
said Swinney. “The thing that I was the most proud of
is that we were able to rush for two touchdowns in two
scoring situations.
“We knew it was going to be a slugfest. That’s a quality win.”

Oct. 25, 2014 • Memorial Stadium • Clemson, S.C.
The Clemson defense dominated again and Wayne
Gallman rushed for 101 yards, as the Tigers won another physical battle against Syracuse by a score of
16-6. With the win in the first meeting between the
two schools at Memorial Stadium, the No. 20 Tigers
moved to 5-1 in the ACC, 6-2 overall and became bowl
eligible.
“We keep finding ways to win,” said Head Coach
Dabo Swinney. “As long as we have one more point than
the opponent, that’s all that matters. We got it done.”
Gallman, who was named ACC Rookie-of-the-Week,
finished with 101 yards on 28 carries. Mike Williams
led the Tigers in receiving yards with 72 and Artavis
Scott led with seven receptions.
The Clemson defense played strong again, keeping
the Orange off the scoreboard in the second half. The
Tigers had four sacks, a significant accomplishment
considering Syracuse had only allowed five sacks entering the game.
The Tigers had 12 tackles for loss and held Syracuse to 3-16 on third-down attempts. The defense also
forced three turnovers, with interceptions by safety
Robert Smith and Stephone Anthony, who was named
ACC Co-Linebacker-of-the-Week, along with a recovered
fumble by cornerback Mackensie Alexander. The lost
fumble was the first by Syracuse in over 278 snaps,
which dated to its September 20 game against Maryland.
The homecoming crowd was electric and the support
was appreciated by the team.
“It’s really special when you can go out on defense
and everyone gets loud and cheers for you,” said
Grady Jarrett. “It’s a very satisfying feeling to know the
amount of support we have to get the ball back for our
offense.”
In a low-scoring affair, special teams continued to
be a solid contributor for the Tigers. Ammon Lakip, who
was the ACC Specialist-of-the-Week, was 3-3 on field
goals.
“It’s not often that you’re minus in the turnover margin and still win,” said Swinney.
The biggest drive for the Clemson offense came in
the second half, when Cole Stoudt orchestrated a seven-play, 73-yard drive, capped by a 19-yard touchdown
pass to Stanton Seckinger in the fourth quarter to give
the Tigers a 16-6 lead.
“We got the running game going, improved on some
things and made key plays in the second half,” said
Stoudt.
The seniors recorded their 25th ACC win, the most
ever by a Clemson class.

Wake Forest

Nov. 6, 2014 • BB&T FIELD • Winston-Salem, N.C.
The No. 19 Clemson Tigers overcame a slow start but
finished fast in a 34-20 triumph at Wake Forest. The
win, Clemson’s sixth straight, moved the Tigers to 7-2
overall and 6-1 in the ACC.
Clemson compiled 427 yards of offense and limited
Wake Forest to just 119. The Demon Deacons were
held to only seven yards on the ground, while the Tigers
racked up 13 tackles for loss.
“There was way too much frustration instead of accountability early on,” admitted Defensive Coordinator
Brent Venables. “I think our experience and leadership
took over. We had poise in the second half and got into
a rhythm.”
The score was tied 20-20 early in the fourth quarter,
but the turning point came when freshman Artavis Scott
caught a flip pass from Cole Stoudt on an end-around
and evaded tacklers to score the go-ahead touchdown
on a 68-yard play. The highlight play helped spark the
offense, and the Tigers pulled away in the final 10 minutes.
“It’s amazing what happens when one guy makes a
play and everyone starts believing,” said Offensive Coordinator Chad Morris.”
Offensively, Stoudt passed for 282 yards and three
touchdowns. Freshmen Wayne Gallman and Scott were
the standout performers for the offense. The two accounted for all four of the Tiger touchdowns, with Gallman posting 149 yards from scrimmage. Scott tallied
eight catches for 122 yards and two scores. It marked
the first time in history Tiger freshmen totaled 100
rushing yards and 100 receiving yards in the same
game.
Morris credited the Tiger fans in attendance on a
cold and windy night for having a big impact on the
game.
“We had unbelievable fans tonight. Our fans were
incredible. They were everywhere, hollering and cheering. We really appreciate that. Hats off to our fanbase.
It doesn’t matter where we go...our fans travel and we
love them for that.”
“It’s a tough place to play, but our fans gave us an
edge,” stated Stoudt. “That was probably the best our
offensive line has played. They were a huge factor in
this game.”
Wake Forest went up 7-0 early, but Clemson responded with an Ammon Lakip field goal and a screen
pass for a touchdown to Gallman, who was named ACC
Rookie-of-the-Week, to take the lead in the second
quarter. The Tigers were up 17-14 on their final drive of
the first half, when two defensive penalties gave Wake
Forest a chance to tie the score on an untimed down.
Mike Weaver was true from 50 yards out to even the
score at halftime.
“When it counted, we got it done,” said senior Grady
Jarrett. “It was a complete team effort on this win. I felt
like we were flat at the beginning of the game, but we
fixed it. If we want the defense to be what we want, we
have to get better week-in and week-out.”

The No. 17 Clemson Tigers lost starting quarterback
Deshaun Watson to a knee injury and could not overcome three turnovers, two of which were converted for
touchdowns, in No. 23 Georgia Tech’s 28-6 win in Atlanta. With the loss, the Tigers finished their ACC campaign with a 6-2 record and fell to 7-3 overall. Georgia
Tech improved to 9-2 overall and finished 6-2 in the
ACC Coastal Division.
“This loss hurts, but we have to rally together,” said
Head Coach Dabo Swinney. “We have to respond, simple as that.”
With Watson making his first start since the Louisville game on October 11, the Tiger offense was operating well and led 3-0, threatening to add to it. But
Watson immediately grasped for his knee after a firstdown run to the Yellow Jacket 14 and left the game.
Cole Stoudt’s pass was intercepted and returned for a
touchdown three plays later, giving the Yellow Jackets
the lead for good.
The Tigers hung tough defensively, yielding just 117
yards in the first half to one of the nation’s best rushing
attacks, but trailed 9-3.
Early in the second half, the Yellow Jackets intercepted a Stoudt pass and converted it into points. They
later took another one for six to blow the game open.
Despite Clemson’s offensive struggles, the Tiger defense stood tall most of the day, allowing just 353 yards
to a team averaging 481.3 entering the contest. It also
allowed just one touchdown.
Offensively, freshman Wayne Gallman continued to
show his development. The Peach State native produced 88 yards on 15 carries. Watson added seven
rushes for 40 yards.
“We won’t make any excuses,” said Offensive Coordinator Chad Morris. “We have to be able to operate our
base offense.”

Nov. 22, 2014 • Memorial Stadium • Clemson, S.C.
Head Coach Dabo Swinney described it as a “special
day,” as Clemson defeated Georgia State 28-0 on Military Appreciation Day at Memorial Stadium.
The win marked the Tigers’ eighth straight at home,
moving the Tigers to 8-3 on the season. Clemson’s defense recorded its second shutout of the year, the first
time since 1998 that the Tigers registered multiple
shutouts in one year.
Tyshon Dye was the star on offense, as the freshman
running back scored two touchdowns and rushed for
124 yards in just his second game as a Tiger. D.J. Howard had 43 yards on eight carries and Wayne Gallman
added 30 rushing yards and a touchdown.
“We were going to make a point to feature Tyshon
Dye,” said Swinney. “You can see that he has something special. I can see what’s coming down the road
for us in the running game. It’s exciting.”
“We ran the ball well today,” said Offensive Coordinator Chad Morris. “It was a good mixup seeing Dye
play. He continues to get better each and every week.
Our big focus this week was how we could build confidence in our offense, and I think we did a good job of
that.”
On the other side of the ball, Clemson’s defense
limited Georgia State to 155 yards, including just 40
yards on the ground. The defense came away with three
turnovers on day, with interceptions by Korrin Wiggins,
Jayron Kearse and Garry Peters, all of which were converted into touchdowns by the Tiger offense.
The game started slow for the Clemson offense, but
Dye got things moving when he scored his first career
touchdown midway through the first quarter to put the
Tigers ahead 7-0, capping a five-play, 30-yard drive.
Dye would get the call again and came through with
his second touchdown of the day to give the Tigers a
14-0 lead near the end of the first quarter. The offense
punched it in twice more before halftime, with a nineyard touchdown run by Gallman and a quick strike from
Cole Stoudt to Mike Williams to extend the Tigers’ lead
to 28-0 at halftime. Stoudt credited the offensive line.
“The offensive line did a great job today. All of it
comes down to our preparation. We put in a great week
and a lot of people got their confidence back.”
“Today was a special day for our seniors,” added
Swinney. “They got their 40th win and tied an all-time
record with that 1990 group.”

NoV. 29, 2014 • Memorial Stadium • Clemson, S.C.
Enough was enough for No. 23 Clemson, especially
the seniors. And three freshmen who don’t know what
losing to South Carolina is like get to keep it that way
for at least another year.
After five straight years on the short end, Clemson finally broke through and won the annual rivalry game by
a score of 35-17 and brought an end to a losing streak
that kept many from realizing just how outstanding the
program has been over the last several years.
New to the rivalry, Deshaun Watson (14-19 passing for 269 yards, two passing touchdowns and two
rushing touchdowns), Wayne Gallman (191 yards and
one touchdown on 27 carries) and Artavis Scott (seven
receptions for 185 yards and two touchdowns) helped
deliver long-awaited relief to the Tiger program and its
fanbase.
The contest marked the first time that Clemson had
a 250-yard passer, 180-yard rusher and 180-yard receiver in the same game, and it happened with three
freshmen. Scott also totaled the most receiving yards
by a Tiger in Memorial Stadium history.
The Tigers boasted their most balanced offensive
attack in weeks, thanks in large part to the offensive
line that helped Clemson rush for 225 yards while not
allowing a sack. One of those offensive linemen, Kalon
Davis, was named ACC Co-Offensive Lineman-of-theWeek.
“The gameplan was excellent today,” said Watson.
“We went out and executed. Give a lot credit to our
offensive line for allowing us to run the ball and for our
great pass protection today.”
Head Coach Dabo Swinney couldn’t say enough
about his team’s discipline during the week and its execution on both sides of the ball.
“It’s a great way to finish the regular season,” stated Swinney. “We knew they were focused, and I’m so
proud of them. It was obviously great to get this win.”
On defense, the Tigers totaled 13 tackles for loss
and five sacks. In his final home game, defensive end
Vic Beasley, who was named ACC Defensive Linemanof-the-Week, registered three tackles for loss, two sacks
and a caused fumble. Clemson also limited South Carolina’s running game, as the Gamecocks were held to
only 63 yards on 33 carries.
“I can’t say much more about these guys,” said Defensive Coordinator Brent Venables. “They’re incredible
and the best group I’ve been around. They deserved
this. They have been on edge and they were so hungry
for this game today. They played with incredible passion.”
The raucous crowd was put on edge early when the
Gamecocks took a 7-0 lead in the first quarter on a
touchdown run by Pharoh Cooper. But Scott answered
with a 53-yard touchdown catch, and the Tigers never
looked back. They followed with rushing touchdowns by
Gallman and Watson to give Clemson a 21-10 halftime
lead.
In the second half, Clemson’s defense stalled a
South Carolina drive that ended in a missed field goal,
ClemsonTigers.com
then Scott scored again on a 70-yard touchdown pass
from Watson to extend Clemson’s lead to 28-10.
The Tiger defense recorded a goal-line stand in the
third quarter and then denied the Gamecocks on another critical fourth down in the fourth quarter to end a
potential scoring drive.
South Carolina made things interesting with a late
touchdown to narrow Clemson’s lead to 28-17, but the
Tigers delivered the final blow with a nine-play, 75-yard
scoring drive that featured only running plays, including
Watson’s second rushing touchdown of the game.
Swinney credited the fans for the support and atmosphere they provided in Death Valley.
“The fans were incredible today, and I hope they’ll
enjoy this one.”

Three-point underdog before the game, 34-point victor after.
The No. 18 Clemson Tigers dominated all aspects
of the Russell Athletic Bowl in an impressive 40-6 win

Louisiana State and Head Coach Les Miles in the 2012
Chick-fil-A Bowl, Ohio State and Head Coach Urban
Meyer in the 2014 Orange Bowl (at the end of the 2013
season) and Oklahoma and Head Coach Bob Stoops in
the 2014 Russell Athletic Bowl.
The win also gave the Clemson senior class 42 victories from 2011-14, extending its school record. The
Tigers have recorded four straight seasons with doubledigit wins, one of only four FBS programs who can make
that claim along with Alabama, Northern Illinois and
Oregon.
Senior Cole Stoudt was named game MVP, a nice
end to the quarterback’s season and career at Clemson. He finished with a career-high 319 yards and three
touchdowns against no interceptions on 26-36 passing
and added a rushing touchdown.
Artavis Scott had eight receptions for a game-high
114 yards and one touchdown, while Mike Williams
added a game-high nine catches for 112 yards and a
touchdown. It marked the first time Clemson had two
100-yard receivers in a bowl game.
Scott started the scoring when he took a screen pass
65 yards for a touchdown on Clemson’s first offensive
play of the game.
The Tigers’ top-ranked defense did not disappoint,
forcing five turnovers and holding Oklahoma to 275
yards and a lone score in the fourth quarter. Defensively, Korrin Wiggins had a team-tying-high six tackles and
an interception. Ben Boulware had a 47-yard interception return for a touchdown and recovered a fumble.
Grady Jarrett added 3.5 tackles for loss, while Vic Beasley had three tackles for loss.
In their first game as co-offensive coordinators, Tony
Elliott and Jeff Scott put together a gameplan that resulted in 40 points.
“It’s hard to start your playcalling career better than
that,” said Swinney. “We were in sync and in rhythm.
“We’re not going anywere. This is another big win for
our program, a great way to end 2014. And I can’t wait
for 2015.”
