2018 SCHEDULE/RESULTSCLEMSON HOSTS NC STATE IN BATTLE OF UNDEFEATED TEAMS AT DEATH VALLEY

Death Valley will once again play host to a matchup of undefeated teams when Clemson welcomes NC State on Saturday, Oct. 20. Kickoff from Memorial Stadium on Homecoming Weekend is scheduled for 3:30 ET.

Clemson enters the contest at 6-0. By opening the season with six consecutive victories for a fourth straight year, the Tigers became the only team in ACC history to start 6-0 in four consecutive seasons. NC State enters the game at 5-0, making the Wolfpack the fourth consecutive undefeated opponent to enter Memorial Stadium to face Clemson this season (Furman 0-0, Georgia Southern 2-0, Syracuse 4-0, NC State 5-0).

In addition to both teams entering the game undefeated, both teams enter the contest following bye weeks. Clemson is 10-2 following regular season bye weeks under Head Coach Dabo Swinney. Since becoming a founding member of the ACC in 1953, Clemson is 37-19 in regular season play following off weeks and have won eight of their last nine such contests.

Clemson will attempt to pick up where it left off prior to the open date, which featured running back Travis Etienne and the Tiger rushing attack taking aim at the team record book. Etienne has rushed for three touchdowns in each of Clemson's past two games, and with a repeat performance this week, he would become the first player in school history to score three rushing touchdowns in three consecutive games. The Tigers are averaging 6.96 yards per carry this season, more than a full yard better than the current team record (5.72 in 2006).

WELCOME TO HOMECOMINGSaturday will be Clemson's Homecoming, which

has historically been a celebration that has included a Clemson victory 77 percent of the time since the first celebration in 1922. Clemson has an overall record of 71-20-3 for its previous 94 Homecoming games, a .771 winning percentage. That includes a 41-4-2 record (.894) on Homecoming games since the 1971 season.

The first homecoming game at Clemson was in 1922, a 21-0 loss to Centre that kicked off an 0-4-1 stretch through Clemon's first five homecoming games. Clemson defeated Auburn in 1927 by a 3-0 score for its first homecoming victory.

There is no record of a homecoming game in 1930 or 1938, but the event has been held in conjunction with a football game every year since 1939, even through the war years.

Clemson has just four losses on Homecoming since 1971. Georgia Tech upset 14th-ranked Clemson, 30-14, in Danny Ford’s final year as Clemson head coach in 1989. That was the last loss for Ford as Clemson's head coach and the only time he lost a Homecoming game in 11 years as the head coach. Georgia Tech went on to a 7-4 season in 1989, then won a share of the National Championship the following year.

Clemson’s other three losses on Homecoming since 1971 took place in 1997 to Virginia, in 2001 to North Carolina and 2010 to Miami. Clemson had won eight in a row on Homecoming prior to that loss to Miami. Clemson enters on a seven-game Homecoming winning streak, including an overtime win against NC State in 2016.

Dabo Swinney is 9-1 on Homecoming in his head coaching career. That includes the 2008 season when Clemson defeated Duke on Homecoming during his interim head coaching stint.

-- ON THE OPPONENT --

SERIES HISTORY VS. NC STATEOverall, Clemson has a 57-28-1 lead in the all-time

series against NC State, including a 25-11 lead in games at Clemson (21-11 in Death Valley). With the Clemson road win last year, the Tigers are 16-9 in games played in Carter-Finley Stadium.

Clemson has won the last six games of the series and 13 of the last 14. The Tigers have won the last seven games in Memorial Stadium, including a 24-17 overtime win in 2016. The Tigers have won the last three games in Raleigh.

2018 HONORS AND WATCH LISTS


The series dates to 1899 when Clemson was victorious, 24-0, in a game played in Rock Hill, S.C. That was just the fourth year of Clemson football and the 16th game in the school’s history.

Eleven of the last 21 games have been decided by eight points or less, including 2010 when Clemson won, 14-13, in Death Valley against the Pack and quarterback Russell Wilson.

Clemson had won seven straight games in the series before 2011, the longest winning streak by the Tigers in the history of the series. NC State’s longest winning streak in the series is six (1971-76). NC State ended Clemson's streak with a 37-13 win over the seventh ranked Tigers in 2011. Clemson can tie its record for consecutive wins in the series with a victory this week.

NC State was Clemson’s nemesis from 1986-88. The Tigers won the ACC Championship each year under Danny Ford, but never beat the Pack in the process, losing all three seasons. It was the only loss for Clemson in the ACC in each of those years.

The 2012 game was the highest-scoring in the history of the series and was in fact Clemson’s highest scoring game in ACC play in terms of combined points (110). The Tigers won, 62-48, behind eight touchdowns (five passing and three rushing) by Tajh Boyd. That established an ACC record for touchdown responsibility in a game. The 2015 game in Raleigh was also high scoring, a 56-41 Clemson win.

The two teams played another high scoring game in 2015 in Raleigh. The Tigers were victorious behind Deshaun Watson, 56-41. Jacoby Brissett was the NC State quarterback and thus the game was a battle of future NFL signal callers.

Clemson has 57 wins in the series, the third-most victories for the Tigers over a single opponent, trailing only the program's 69 wins vs. South Carolina and 66 wins vs. Wake Forest.

RANKINGS REPORT


Clemson was unranked and NC State was 6-2 and ranked 23rd in the nation but Clemson earned a 14-13 win.

This is the sixth straight year Clemson has faced an NC State with a winning record and the Tigers have won each of those games. In fact, Clemson is 8-0 against NC State teams with a winning record since 2004.

Clemson is 10-1 vs. NC State as a Top 25 team since 1994 with the only loss coming in 2011 when a seventh-ranked Clemson team lost to NC State, 37-13.

LANDMARK GAMES VS. NC STATE1903: Clemson defeated NC State, 24-0, in Columbia,

S.C. Clemson Head Coach John Heisman married the former Evelyn Barksdale in Columbia after the game. It is believed to be the only time in Clemson sports history that a coach won a game and won a lady’s hand in matrimony on the same day.

1948: Bobby Gage ran 90 yards on a punt return for the only score of the game in a 6-0 Tiger victory over the Wolfpack. It was the longest punt return in Death Valley until Jacoby Ford had a 92-yard punt return against Florida Atlantic in the opening game in 2006. It was a key win in Clemson’s undefeated 1948 season under Frank Howard.

1950: Clemson defeated NC State, 27-0. Wyndie Windham led the Clemson defense and, according to legend, knocked three NC State backs out on three consecutive plays in the second half.

1967: Clemson painted its shoes orange for the NC State game in Death Valley and the Tigers upset the 10th-ranked Wolfpack, 14-6. Clemson clinched a tie for the ACC championship with the victory. Clemson painted its shoes orange because NC State had featured a defense that had worn white shoes during the season. It was the highest-ranked team Clemson defeated in Death Valley in the Frank Howard era.

1984: Clemson defeated NC State, 35-34, in Raleigh in the highest scoring game decided by one point in Clemson history until a 43-42 Pittsburgh victory at Clemson in 2016. No points were scored by either team in the fourth quarter.

1991: Clemson wore purple jerseys for the first time since the 1940s in a 29-19 upset victory over NC State. NC State was undefeated and ranked 10th in the nation entering the game against Ken Hatfield’s Tigers. Nelson Welch kicked a then-record five field goals in leading Clemson to the victory. Clemson went on to win the ACC Championship.

1995: Clemson gave up more than 500 yards of total offense to the Pack but still won 43-22. Leomont Evans tied a Clemson single-game record with three interceptions. The Tigers had six interceptions in the game to tie a school record.

1997: In Raleigh, Matt Padgett, who went on to a professional baseball career, booted a 20-yard field goal with just 19 seconds left to give Clemson a 19-17 victory over 25th-ranked NC State. The Tigers drove 78 yards in 14 plays to set up the winning score. Nealon Greene hit 20-32 passes for 250 yards and Tony Horne caught eight passes for 112 to key the Clemson offense.

1998: On Halloween at Clemson, NC State receiver Torry Holt completed an incredible day with a nine-yard scoring pass from Jamie Barnette with just 37 seconds left for a 46-39 NC State win. It was his fourth touchdown reception of the day, the most ever against Clemson. He had 225 yards receiving in that game.

1999: NC State, behind then-Head Coach Mike O’Cain, defeated Clemson in Raleigh, 35-31, in an exciting contest that featured 35 first-quarter points between the two teams combined, most combined points ever in the first period of a Clemson game. Clemson had five possessions in the fourth period with a chance to take the lead, but could not drive for a winning touchdown.

2001: Woody Dantzler gained 517 yards of total offense, an all-time Clemson record at the time later broken by Tajh Boyd against NC State in 2012. Dantlzer had a career-best 23-27 passes for 333 yards and four scores and also rushed for 184 yards and two touchdowns. It was arguably the best individual performance in Clemson history as he accounted for a then-ACC record six touchdowns, later broken by Boyd.

2004: Clemson won, 26-20, when Charles Bennett intercepted a pass at the Clemson goal line on the last play to preserve the victory. It was the seventh time in eight meetings that the game was decided by eight points or less.

2005: Even though he played just over two quarters, freshman James Davis gained 143 yards rushing in just 12 attempts to lead Clemson to a 31-10 victory, Clemson’s largest margin of victory in the series since a 40-17 win in 1996. It was Clemson’s first victory on a Thursday evening ESPN game.

2006: Jad Dean kicked a pair of fourth quarter field goals to lead Clemson to a six-point win. Freshman C.J. Spiller had 154 yards rushing, including a 52-yard scoring run for the Tigers.

2007: James Davis rushed for 166 yards and C.J. Spiller added 114 in Clemson’s 42-20 victory in Raleigh. Both players had a touchdown rushing and receiving. At the time, the Tigers' 608 yards of total offense was the most ever by Clemson in a road game.

2009: C.J. Spiller accounted for touchdowns passing, rushing and receiving to lead Clemson to a 20-point victory. Jamie Harper had a 69-yard touchdown run and Kyle Parker completed 12-18 passes for 183 yards and two scores.

2010: Clemson came back from a 10-0 deficit to win 14-13 at Death Valley, keeping NC State from an ACC Championship game berth. Kyle Parker completed 20-29 passes for 214 yards and a touchdown and Nuk Hopkins had five catches for 80 yards and a touchdown for the Tigers. Clemson’s defense held NC State to 275 yards and 13 points, season lows for the Pack team that was led by current Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson. Wilson was 0-3 in his career against Clemson.

2012: Clemson clinched its first 10-win regular season since 1981 with a 62-48 win over NC State at Clemson. The Tigers had a run of 42 consecutive points after trailing at one point, 24-13. The two teams combined for 1,351 yards and 110 points, both records for a Clemson

NOTESgame. Tajh Boyd threw for 426 yards and ran for 103, giving him a Clemson record 529 yards of total offense. Clemson gained 754 yards of total offense, second-most in Clemson history and just two yards from the school record. NC State quarterback Mike Glennon completed 29-53 passes for 493 yards, the second most passing yards in history against the Tigers.

2015: Deshaun Watson completed 23-30 passes for 383 yards and five touchdowns in Clemson’s 56-41 win in Raleigh. Wayne Gallman had 31 carries for 172 yards and a score as Clemson gained 623 yards of total offense, the third highest total in an ACC road game in school history. Jacoby Brissett completed 24-41 passes for 254 yards and three scores to lead NC State. Both teams scored at least seven points in every quarter.

CLOSE GAMES WITH NC STATEClemson and NC State have had their share of close

games. The two teams have played 86 games, and 36 of them have been decided by a touchdown or less. Clemson has a 24-11-1 record in those 36 games for a .681 winning percentage.

Clemson’s 24 wins by a touchdown or less are the most for the program against any opponent. In fact, it is far more than against any other team. Clemson has 69 overall wins against South Carolina, but just 16 by a touchdown or less. The Tigers also have 16 wins by a touchdown or less against Wake Forest.

Clemson has won each of the last two games against NC State by a touchdown or less, 24-17 in overtime at Clemson in 2016 and 38-31 last year. If Clemson wins by a touchdown or less this year, it will be just the third time Clemson has won three straight over an ACC team by a touchdown or less. The Tigers did it in 1965-67 and against Louisville in 2014-16.

Clemson has won five in a row over NC State in games decided by a touchdown or less dating to 2004. The last time the Pack won a one-score game against Clemson was 2003 when NC State won 17-15 in Raleigh on a Thursday night. NC State’s last win by a touchdown or less at Clemson was on Halloween 1998 when the Pack won 46-39. Current Clemson quarterbacks coach Brandon Streeter threw for 329 yards and three touchdowns in that game.

Three times in the last 14 years Clemson has had an interception inside its own 10-yard line on the last play of the game to seal a victory. Charles Bennett did it with an interception at the four-yard line in 2004, Marcus Edmond had an overtime pick in the end zone in 2016 and K’Von Wallace had an interception on the last play of last year’s game at the Clemson six.

HIGH-SCORING HISTORYClemson and NC State have played a couple of high

scoring games in recent years. In the history of Clemson football, Clemson has been involved in a game where at least 97 points were scored just seven times, but two of them have been Clemson vs. NC State games within the last six years.

Clemson defeated the Pack, 62-48, on Nov. 17, 2012 at Clemson, and the 110 points in that game rank second in Clemson history and the most since 1901. Then, in 2015, the two teams combined for 97 points in a 56-41 Clemson win. That is tied for the sixth-highest scoring game in Clemson history. Clemson won last year, 38-31, for a total of 69 points scored.

LAST MEETING VS. NC STATEClemson 38, NC State 31(Nov. 4, 2017 at Raleigh, N.C.)Kelly Bryant threw for 191 yards and ran for 88 more,

running back Tavien Feaster had an 89-yard run and Ray-Ray McCloud had a 77-yard punt return for a touchdown to lead Clemson to a 38-31 victory over NC State in 2017.

The sixth-ranked Tigers handed the 20th-ranked Wolfpack their first ACC loss of the year and the victory put the Tigers back in commanding position in the race for the ACC Atlantic Division title.

Deon Cain had nine catches for 84 yards and scored on a 12-yard reception from Bryant. Feaster finished with 105 yards rushing on just seven carries, while Bryant had two touchdowns and rushed for 88 yards in 20 attempts. Clemson gained 224 yards rushing and 191 yards passing.

NC State was led by Ryan Finley, who completed 31-50 passes for 338 yards and three touchdowns.

Bryant threw an interception on Clemson’s first possession and NC State converted shortly thereafter on a 40-yard touchdown pass by Finley. McCloud then tied the score with his whirlwind 77-yard punt return for a score, the first punt return for a score by a Clemson player since 2014.

Cain put Clemson ahead 24-21 in the third period with his 12-yard scoring pass from Bryant, then Clemson went ahead by 31-21 on Feaster’s 89-yard run on the last play of the third period.

Finley threw a third touchdown pass in the fourth quarter, but Bryant came back with a one-yard run for a score after Ryan Carter had an interception at the NC State 27.

NC State cut the margin to three with a field goal with 1:51 left, and got the ball back. But a long desperation pass was intercepted by K’Von Wallace at the Clemson six-yard line and he ran the ball back 55 yards to run out the clock and give Clemson the win.

LAST MEETING VS. NC STATE AT CLEMSONClemson 24, NC State 17(Oct. 15, 2016)Marcus Edmond's interception in the end zone in

overtime clinched a 24-17 victory over NC State in 2016, the last time the two teams met at Memorial Stadium.

NC State could have won the game in regulation, but kicker Kyle Bambard missed a 33-yard field goal on the last play of regulation. With the score tied at 17, Clemson scored a touchdown on its overtime possession on a 10-yard touchdown pass from Deshaun Watson to Artavis Scott. The Pack went for a touchdown on their first play of overtime, but Edmond had the interception.

Clemson’s regulation touchdowns came on a 13-yard touchdown pass from Watson to Mike Williams, and a four-yard Watson run. Clemson had four turnovers in regulation that kept the Tigers from putting the game away. The Tigers ran 91 plays for 495 yards, and had 30 first downs, yet nearly lost the game.

Watson was 39-52 passing for 378 yards and two scores. Clemson running back Wayne Gallman had just two carries as Clemson’s top running back suffered a concussion in the first quarter and did not return. Mike Williams was Clemson’s top receiver with 12 catches for 146 yards.

SWINNEY VS. THE TAR HEEL STATEClemson Head Coach Dabo Swinney has a 23-2 all-

time record against ACC teams from North Carolina. That includes a 10-0 record against Wake Forest and a 4-0 mark in Winston-Salem. Saturday’s game with Wake Forest is the first of three games this year against ACC teams from North Carolina.

Swinney’s only losses to ACC teams from North Carolina were at North Carolina in 2010 (21-16) and at NC State in 2011 (37-13). He has won 17 games in a row against ACC teams from North Carolina. The Tigers have scored at least 40 points in eight of those 17 and have scored at least 33 in 14 of those 17.

Including three ACC Championship Game wins in Charlotte (2011 vs. Virginia Tech, 2015 vs. North Carolina

and 2017 vs. Miami), Swinney is 11-2 in games played in the state of North Carolina with nine wins in a row.

This season, Clemson is attempting to become the first ACC school to win four consecutive outright titles. Florida State was a champion or co-champion nine years in a row from 1992-00, but never won more than three outright championships in succession.

Clemson would become the only the second Power Five school since the advent of conference championship games in 1992 to win four straight conference championships, joining the Florida Gators, who won four straight SEC Championship Games from 1993-96.

CHASING 100Head Coach Dabo Swinney can vividly recall the looks

he received when he said Clemson was on the cusp of the winningest decade in program history following a 2010 campaign in which the Tigers finished 6-7. In 2017, that vision became a reality with two seasons to spare when Clemson collected its 88th win of the decade in the ACC Championship Game against Miami to surpass the 1980s Tigers (87) for the most wins in any decade in school history.

With 12 wins in 2018, the Clemson can reach triple digits in wins in a decade for the first time in program history.

Included below are the schools that have accomplished that feat:

POWER OVER THE POWER FIVEEarly in his head coaching tenure, Dabo Swinney laid

out his belief to then-Clemson Athletic Director Terry Don Phillips that the Tigers needed to add tough non-conference challenges on top of their tests in ACC play to serve as a foundation for the program's growth.

"I had a conversation with Terry Don and I was like, ‘Terry Don, I know we are not very good right now, but we need to play people because that is going to help me teach and help me develop the culture and the mindset that you have to have to win at the highest level,’" Swinney recounted prior to the 2018 season. "I didn’t think we had that, and that’s what we committed to. That’s what we’ve done.”

That scheduling philosophy and culture change has resonated in the Clemson program, and since 2013, no team can claim more wins against Power Five opponents than Clemson.

a lot of weight in the moment, one added layer of quality assurance for victories can be gleaned from viewing teams' records against opponents that actually finished the year in the Top 25. An independent analysis by Saturday Down South revealed that Clemson's 15 victories in the College Football Playoff era against opponents that finished the season in the Top 25 ranks second nationally.

SWINNEY FOURTH COACH TO REACH 100 WINS IN FIRST 10 YEARS

When Dabo Swinney and the Tigers defeated South

Carolina, 34-10, in the final regular season game of 2017, it gave Swinney 100 wins in his first 10 years as a head coach. Swinney accomplished the feat despite his first season as a head coach being limited to seven games after assuming the Interim Head Coach title six games into the 2008 campaign.

He became just the fourth coach to reach 100 wins in his first 10 years, joining Bob Stoops, Chris Petersen and Urban Meyer.

ROCKNE, BRYANT, SWINNEYHead Coach Dabo Swinney placed himself in the

company of two college football legends. Swinney enters Saturday’s game against NC State with an overall record of 107-30 for a .781 winning percentage.

In Clemson's late-September win against Syracuse, Swinney passed the number of total victories earned by Notre Dame's Knute Rockne, the winningest coach by percentage in Division I history. Rockne compiled a 105-12-5 career record from 1918-30 at Notre Dame for a record .881 winning percentage.

Swinney’s current .781 winning percentage is tied for 20th-best in Division I history among coaches with a minimum of 10 years experience. With a win against Wake Forest, Swinney passed Bear Bryant, who had a .780 winning percentage (323-85-17).

-- TALKING 'BOUT THE POLLS --

EXCEEDING EXPECTATIONS Entering 2018, Clemson had equaled or exceeded its postseason AP and USA Today rankings in comparison to its preseason rankings each of the last seven years. That included quite an accomplishment in 2016, as finished No. 1 by winning the national championship to exceed the school's No. 2 preseason ranking. Clemson has exceeded its preseason ranking each of the last seven years in the USA Today coaches poll and has exceeded its preseason ranking in the AP poll six of the seven. Clemson was picked No. 8 in the AP preseason poll in 2013 and finished No. 8. Dabo Swinney is the first head coach in history with a seven-year streak in that area. John Cooper (Ohio State) and Bill Snyder (Kansas State) had five-year streaks.

WHEN IN DOUBT, CLEMSON RESPONDSIn Head Coach Dabo Swinney's tenure, the Tigers

have routinely responded well following dips in the AP rankings. Clemson dropped from No. 2 to No. 3 in the AP Poll on Sept. 17 despite a 31-point win against Georgia Southern the week before. Clemson responded to that most drop with a 28-point road win at Georgia Tech.

Clemson responded similarly in its most recent contest at Wake Forest after dropping from No. 3 to No. 4. Under Swinney, Clemson is 21-4 in games in which it enters ranked lower in the AP Poll than it did in its previous contest. This includes the 2014, 2016, 2017 and 2018 season openers in which Clemson opened the season lower than its ranking from the final game of the previous campaign. Clemson has now won its last 13 games when entering ranked lower in the AP Poll than in its previous game.

-- NOTABLE --

UNBEATENOnly eight undefeated teams remain in the FBS after

Colorado, Georgia and West Virginia all dropped from the unbeaten ranks last week. At least one more undefeated team will fall this week following Clemson and NC State's battle of unbeaten squads this week, which will mark the final meeting of undefeated Power Five squads this regular season.

GROUND AND POUNDA few hours after being called a finesse team by

a national analyst, Clemson rushed for 471 yards in a 63-3 win at Wake Forest on Oct. 6. The rushing total represented the fourth-most yards on the ground in program history and the program's most in a single-game since the team's 1981 national championship season.

Clemson's 471 rushing yards in the contest pushed their season total through four games to 1,685, the team's most through six games under Head Coach Dabo Swinney and Clemson's fifth-most in the first six games of a season since 1954.

EXPLOSIVE PLAYS"The explosive play is alive and well in our offense."That was the exact quote from Head Coach Dabo

Swinney following a Sept. 15 victory against Georgia Southern. Improving the team's explosiveness and ability to create chunk plays had been a primary focus for the offense leading up to the 2018 season, and that focus has paid off thus far this season.

Of Clemson's 17 plays of 40 yards or more this season, the Tigers have accounted for 10 through the air and seven on the ground. Clemson has 12 plays of 50 yards or more, with an even split of six passing and six rushing.

Clemson's 12 plays of 50 yards or more through six games this season have already equaled the team's total through 14 games a year ago.

Clemson's explosiveness has helped put the 2018 squad in the Top 10 in the nation in yards per play and on pace for a school record in that category.

YOUTH MOVEMENTClemson returned a school-record 61 letterman for the

2018 season, making this year's roster the most veteran team in Tiger annals by that measure. However, that experience has not prohibited the team's talented class of true freshmen from making an immediate impact this season.

Thirteen true freshmen (Xavier Thomas, Justyn Ross, Derion Kendrick, K.J. Henry, Trevor Lawrence, Kyler McMichael, Lyn-J Dixon, B.T. Potter, Mario Goodrich, Jordan McFadden, Jackson Carman, Max May and Braden Galloway) appeared in Clemson's season opener against Furman, matching the team’s most in a single game in school history set previously against Wofford in the 2015.

A 14th true freshman, quarterback Ben Batson, made his debut at Wake Forest. Clemson's 14 true freshmen to appear in game action this season are the tied for most in a year since 1982.

SATURDAYS ARE FOR THE TIGERSClemson enters Saturday's contest against NC State

having won each of its last 22 Saturday games. Clemson went 12-2 during the 2017 campaign, with its only losses coming on a Friday at Syracuse and a Monday on New Year's Day in the Sugar Bowl.

You have to travel back to Nov. 12, 2016, a total of 707 days prior to this week's contest against NC State, for Clemson's most recent loss on a Saturday.

Clemson's 22-game Saturday winning streak is the longest active streak in the FBS.

Clemson's defensive efforts in the first half have been particularly pronounced at home. Until Syracuse rushed for a one-yard touchdown with 7:31 remaining in the second quarter on Sept. 29, Clemson had not allowed a first-half touchdown at Memorial Stadium since Nov. 12, 2016 vs. Pittsburgh. That marked 686 days between first-half touchdowns allowed at Death Valley, covering 309:52 of game play.

-- ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT --

The roster from the first day of Clemson's 2018 preseason camp featured 17 players that had already earned their degrees from Clemson University. The figure more than doubled the previous high under Head Coach Dabo Swinney, who previously had eight graduates on his rosters on multiple occasions.

The graduates on Clemson's 2018 camp roster included Kelly Bryant, Adam Choice, Kyle Cote, J.D. Davis, Judah Davis, Justin Falcinelli, Pat Godfrey, Kendall Joseph, Chris Register, Hunter Renfrow, Milan Richard, Chad Smith, Alex Spence, Trevion Thompson, Christian

#WRUClemson's status as an elite producer of pro talent

has been inarguable in recent years, particularly at wide receiver, where the school has adopted the moniker of "Wide Receiver U" (or #WRU in hashtag form).

An independent analysis by TigerIllustrated.com in August highlighted Clemson's seven wide receivers drafted from 2013-18, the most from any school. It provides a legacy and a foundation upon which Clemson's talented 2018 receiving corps — one co-offensive coordinator Jeff Scott said contains nine plausible starters — to build.

"Get your cameras ready for this year and beyond. Because there's a good chance more history will be made," wrote TigerIllustrated's Larry Williams. "The headlines and cover stories now are about the defensive line. But celebrity status is fast approaching for these receivers."

#9 TRAVIS ETIENNE, RBAs a freshman, when you evoke the names of Clemson

legends C.J. Spiller and Sammy Watkins, you're doing something right. Travis Etienne did just that in his true freshman season in 2017.

In his debut year, Etienne averaged 7.16 yards per carry on 107 attempts, the fourth-best rushing average in

school history and the most by a Clemson freshman since C.J. Spiller in 2006.

The 2018 Maxwell and Doak Walker Award watch list selection also tied a school record for total touchdowns by a freshman, matching Sammy Watkins' mark of 13 set in 2011.

Etienne's efficiency has carried into his sophomore season in 2018. He enters this week ranked second in the country — and first in the Power Five — in yards-per-carry average among players with at least 50 carries this season.

In the third game of the 2018 season against Georgia Southern, Etienne reached the 1,000-yard mark for his career on a 40-yard touchdown run. In reaching the 1,000-yard mark, he qualified for the school's all-time leaderboard for yards per carry. If he were to maintain his current 8.04-yard average, he would shatter the school's record for career rushing average of 5.92, set by Jackie Calvert from 1948-50. Sitting behind Etienne is his current backfield colleague, Tavien Feaster, who reached the 1,000-yard mark in the fourth game of 2018.

Etienne has rushed for at least one touchdown in each of his last six games, the longest such stretch of his career. He is one game short of tying Kenny Flowers for the fifth-longest streak of consecutive games with a rushing touchdown in program history.

Despite averaging fewer than 14 carries per game through the team's first six contests, Etienne (761) enters this week 239 yards from reaching 1,000 rushing yards on the season. If he were to reach the mark this week, it would shatter the mark for the fastest any Clemson player

has rushed for a thousand yards in a season and represent only the second time a Clemson player had accomplished the feat in single-digit games.

The group, known affectionately as the Power Rangers following the unit's Halloween costumes of choice in 2016, includes ends Austin Bryant and Clelin Ferrell and tackles Dexter Lawrence and Christian Wilkins.

The group's return alone made college football history. Clemson's 2018 squad will be the first in the sport's history to feature four returning All-Americans on the defensive line.

Ferrell recorded a sack in the team's opener against Furman and two sacks each in wins against Texas A&M and Georgia Southern, becoming the first Clemson player since Vic Beasley in 2014 to reach 2.0 sacks in consecutive games. His production has added to one of the most prolific career pass rushing totals in college football, as he now ranks fourth among active FBS players in career sacks and is climbing Clemons' all-time leaderboard in that category.

The unit, along with the team's deep corps of linebackers and aggressive defensive backs, has once again propelled Clemson among the national leaders in tackles for loss. Clemson has finished in the Top 10 in the FBS in tackles for loss every year since 2013, including No. 1 rankings in four straight years from 2013-16 and a No. 6 finish in 2017.

#3 AMARI RODGERSClemson entered the 2018 season looking to replace

primary 2017 punt returner Ray-Ray McCloud, who ranked seventh in the FBS in punt return average (12.1) a season ago. In camp, wide receiver Amari Rodgers separated as the team's top option at punt returner, and Rodgers immediately rewarded the coaching staff's faith in the team's 48-7 season-opening win vs. Furman.

Rodgers' first return of the game went for 25 yards, setting up an ensuing drive that saw him score the team's first points of the season on a 40-yard touchdown reception. On his next return, Rodgers recorded a career-long 62-yard return to finish the day with a 43.5-yard return average.

Through six games, Rodgers ranks No. 5 in the ACC in punt return average.

#92 GREG HUEGEL, KAll three phrases of the game — offense, defense and

special teams — are represented by former All-Americans on Clemson's roster. Among the specialists, kicker Greg Huegel returns after an injury-truncated 2017 season hoping to reclaim that form that earned him second-team All-America status from Sports Illustrated in 2015.

The 2016 All-ACC selection already ranks in the Top 10 in school history in scoring, field goals made and extra points made. In the team's Sept. 8 road win at Texas A&M, he became only the third player in Clemson history to record 150 career PATs.

GAME STATS

COLLEGE STATION, Texas — No. 2 Clemson hung on through a back-and-forth second half for a 28-26 victory over the Texas A&M Aggies at Kyle Field.

Texas A&M still got on the board first, when kicker Daniel LaCamera hit a 40-yarder to give his squad a 3-0 lead 10 minutes into the game. However, the Tigers answered on the ensuing drive, with Bryant scoring on a one-yard run.

Clemson upped its lead to 14-3 with less than a minute gone in the second quarter, when Tee Higgins hauled in a 64-yard touchdown pass from Trevor Law-rence on the freshman quarterback’s first play of the night behind center. The Clemson defense blocked a Texas A&M 50-yard field goal attempt with just over five minutes left in the first half to take a 14-3 lead into the break.

Clemson led 21-6 following an eight-yard Bryant scoring pass to Diondre Overton, but the teams traded touchdowns to enter the fourth quarter at 28-13 in fa-vor of Clemson. The rest of the game saw Texas A&M bookend the fourth quarter with a pair of touchdowns, with the latter one coming with just 46 seconds remain-ing in the matchup and cutting the Clemson lead to just two points. However, safety K'Von Wallace intercepted the Aggie two-point conversion attempt and wide re-ceiver Hunter Renfrow recovered an onside kick at-tempt to secure the 28-26 victory in front of the largest crowd ever to witness a game in Clemson history.

GAME STATS

CLEMSON, S.C. — A Travis Etienne two-yard rush-ing score with 41 seconds remaining in the game proved to be the difference in the No. 3/2 Clemson’s 27-23 win over the previously undefeated Syracuse Or-ange at Memorial Stadium.

Etienne's touchdown was the culmination of a 13-play, 94-yard drive led by redshirt freshman Chase Brice, who entered the game after quarterback Trevor Lawrence left with an injury in the second quarter. It was the longest drive authored by Clemson for a game-winning touchdown in the final minute in records dat-ing back to 1958. It also came as part of Etienne's career-high 203-yard day on 27 carries with three rush-ing touchdowns.

After trailing 16-7 at the break on the strength of three field goals by Syracuse's Andre Szmyt and a touchdown run by Syracuse quarterback Eric Dungey, Clemson overcame a halftime deficit in a win for the first time since overcoming a 27-17 halftime deficit in a 38-31 win against NC State on Nov. 4, 2017. The Tigers also recorded their first victory when trailing af-ter three quarters, Clemson's first since the National Championship game against Alabama during the 2016 season in which Clemson overcame a 24-14 fourth-quarter deficit in a 35-31 win.

The game marked only the fourth time in Memorial Stadium history that two undefeated teams had met four or more games into a season.

GAME STATS

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — Travis Etienne, Lyn-J Dixon and Adam Choice all eclipsed the 100-yard rush-ing mark as the No. 4/4 Clemson Tigers amassed 698 total offensive yards en route to a 63-3 defeat of the Wake Forest Demon Deacons at BB&T Field.

Between Etienne, Dixon, Choice and three other rushers, Clemson ran for 471 yards, the team’s most in a single game under head coach Dabo Swinney.

Clemson's 60-point win marked the largest margin of victory in an ACC game in school history. It also rep-resented the second straight ACC road game in which Clemson played all 72 dressed players. Four different players appeared at quarterback for the Tigers, includ-ing starter Trevor Lawrence, quarterbacks Chase Brice and Ben Batson and wide receiver Hunter Renfrow.
