Saturday's pregame will mark a milestone for a unique Clemson tradition, as the Tigers will complete "the most exciting 25 seconds in college football" for the 400th time in history. The Tigers have run down The Hill prior to every home game since 1942 with exception of the 1970-71 seasons, the first four games of 1972 and the first game of 1973. Clemson enters November as one of four undefeated FBS teams. The 2018 season marks the 16th time in school history that the Tigers will enter November without a loss, including the third time under Head Coach Dabo Swinney (2015, 2016 and 2018). Since trailing Syracuse, 16-7, at halftime on Sept. 29, Clemson has outscored opponents 183-27, including a 163-20 scoring advantage in three games in the month of October. Clemson's 47.7-point differential in October was its largest in any month with multiple games in program history, surpassing a 44.5-point average differential in two games in September 1950. The strength of Clemson's performances on both sides of the ball has been evidenced by its numbers on both a per-game and per-play basis. Clemson has outgained opponents by an average of 258.7 yards per game this season, the largest margin in the country and more than two yards ahead of top-ranked Alabama (+256.4). Examining it on a per-play level to adjust for tempo, Clemson holds a 7.20-3.94 yards-per-play advantage over opponents this season and is one of three FBS squads outgaining opponents by 3.0-plus yards per play.

PRONUNCIATION GUIDE

field goals in school history.- Tackle Mitch Hyatt (3,343) playing 19 snaps to pass

center Dalton Freeman (3,361 from 2009-12) for the most career snaps from scrimmage in Clemson history.

- Hyatt making his 51st career start to add to his school record for career starts by an offensive lineman. It would pull him one start shy of kicker Chandler Catanzaro's school record of 52 career starts.

- Linebacker Tre Lamar attempting to intercept a pass in back-to-back games for the first time in his career. He would be the first Clemson player with picks in consecutive games since Ryan Carter against South Carolina and Miami last year.

- Defensive linemen Dexter Lawrence (three) blocking his fourth career placekick to tie Jarvis Jenkins' school record for most career blocked placekicks (four from 2007-10).

- Quarterback Trevor Lawrence (16) throwing four touchdown passes to tie or five touchdown passes to break Kyle Parker's school record for touchdown passes by a freshman (20). Lawrence already holds the record for touchdown passes by a true freshman.

- Lawrence attempting to become the first Clemson player to throw four touchdown passes in consecutive games since Deshaun Watson vs. Louisville (five) and Boston College (four) in 2016.

- Lawrence (1,528) accounting for 139 combined rushing and passing yards to break Deshaun Watson's school record for total offense by a true freshman (1,666 in 2014).

- Lawrence attempting to tie a school record by throwing for 300 yards in three consecutive games. Tajh Boyd holds the program mark with two separate three-game streaks during the 2013 season.

- Lawrence entering the game having not thrown an interception in his last 130 pass attempts. His most recent interception came on his fourth pass attempt against Georgia Tech. Tajh Boyd holds the school record for most consecutive pass attempts without an interception (187 from 2012-13). Cullen Harper holds the mark in a single season with 143 in 2007.

- Clemson winning a fifth game with Lawrence as the starting quarterback to give him the school record for most wins as a true freshman starting quarterback.

- Hunter Renfrow (36) catching a pass to extend his streak of consecutive games played with a reception to 37 to move past Jerry Butler for sole possession of the second-longest streak in school history. It would pull him within one game of Artavis Scott's team record of 38 from

2014-16.- Renfrow (1,879) entering the game 121 yards away

from becoming the 13th player in school history to reach 2,000 career receiving yards.

- Renfrow (163) chasing No. 7 Rod Gardner (166) and No. 6 Derrick Hamilton (167) on the school's leaderboard for career receptions.

- Renfrow (15) recording his 16th career touchdown reception to tie Terrance Roulhac, Derrick Hamilton and Jacoby Ford (16 each) for 10th-most career touchdown receptions in Clemson history.

- Christian Wilkins making his 39th career start. The Clemson record for career starts by a defensive tackle is 40, set by Jim Stuckey from 1976-79. (Note: Wilkins has also started at defensive end in his career but is currently listed at tackle).

-- ON THE OPPONENT --

SERIES HISTORY VS. LOUISVILLEClemson and Louisville had never met prior to the

Cardinals' addition to the Atlantic Coast Conference in 2014. The teams have played every year since as Atlantic Division foes.

Clemson holds an unblemished 4-0 mark against Louisville all-time, but those four wins have not come without drama.

The teams first met in 2014 when the 3-2 Tigers hosted the 5-1 Cardinals at Death Valley. Clemson led 14-10 at halftime thanks to two non-offensive touchdowns, including a 72-yard punt return touchdown by Adam Humphries and a fumble recovery in the end zone by Grady Jarrett. Trailing 23-17 late, Louisville drove to the Tiger two-yard line, but defensive lineman DeShawn Williams batted away a final Louisville pass to secure the win for Clemson.

A year later, Clemson won the first game contested between the two schools in Louisville, earning a 20-17 victory in both schools' conference opener. Touchdown passes from Deshaun Watson to Hunter Renfrow and Jordan Leggett and two Greg Huegel field goals accounted for Clemson's 20 points, while an interception by safety Jadar Johnson on the final play of the game sealed the victory for the visiting Tigers.

A win on Saturday would give Clemson a win in its first five games against a school for the seventh time all-time. The Tigers previously won each of their first five contests against Appalachian State, The Citadel, Furman, Newberry, Virginia and Western Carolina.

Clemson added another 14 points to the margin in the third quarter, with linebacker Dorian O'Daniel scoring on a 44-yard interception return and Bryant adding his second touchdown run of the contest. The schools would each tack on 14 points in the fourth quarter, the final score of which came on true freshman running back Travis Etienne's career-long 81-yard rush, to bring the final score to 47-21.

LAST HOME GAME VS. LOUISVILLEClemson 42, Louisville 36(Oct. 1, 2016)A charged Memorial Stadium crowd watched an

electrifying performance by two Top 5 squads, as No. 5 Clemson recorded a late stop to defeat No. 3 Louisville, 42-36. Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson completed 27-44 passes for 295 yards with one touchdown and rushed 31 times for 162 yards and an additional two scores on the ground, while Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson completed 20-31 passes for 306 yards with five touchdowns and rushed 14 times for 91 yards. The duo would go on to finish first and second, respectively, for the Heisman Trophy at the end of the season.

After a scoreless opening frame, Clemson got out to a 28-10 halftime lead on three Watson touchdown passes (two to Deon Cain, one to Artavis Scott) and a Wayne Gallman touchdown run. Louisville responded with 16 points in the third quarter to cut the score to 28-26.

The Cardinals took a 36-28 lead with less than eight minutes remaining in the contest on Jackson's second touchdown run of the evening. Watson then led the Tigers on consecutive touchdown drives culminating in touchdown passes to Mike Williams and Jordan Leggett, respectively, for a 42-36 lead.

Trailing by six, Louisville drove all the way down to the Clemson nine. However, on 4th-and-12 from the Clemson 14, defensive back Marcus Edmond knocked receiver James Quick out of bounds one yard shy of the marker, forcing a turnover on downs that preserved the victory for Clemson in the midst of the Tigers' national championship season.

- Clemson has won its last three games by margins of 60, 34 and 49 points. Clemson has now won three straight games by at least 34 points for only the second time in school history and the first time since the first three games of the 2000 season.

- Clemson has now gained 450 yards of offense in six straight games for the first time since a 12-game streak spanning the final 11 games of 2015 and the opener in 2016.

- Clemson has now passed for 300 yards in back-to-back games for the first time since the 2017 College Football Playoff National Championship Game to conclude the 2016 season and the 2017 season opener against Kent State. Previously, the last time Clemson had thrown for 300 yards in consecutive games in the same season was during a four-game span against NC State, Florida State, Syracuse and Pitt in 2016.

- Clemson held Florida State to -21 rushing yards, breaking the mark for fewest rushing yards allowed by the Tigers in ACC play set at North Carolina on Nov. 4, 1989 (-6). The -21 rushing yards tied for the second-fewest rushing yards allowed in a game in school history, trailing only a rushing performance of -29 yards by Furman on Sept. 7, 1996.

- Quarterback Trevor Lawrence completed 20-37 passes for a career-high 314 yards and tied his career high with four passing touchdowns.

- With his third touchdown pass of the day, Lawrence recorded his 15th passing touchdown of the season to break Deshaun Watson’s school record for passing touchdowns by a true freshman.

- Clemson earned its fourth victory in games started by Lawrence to tie him with Deshaun Watson's school record for wins as a starting quarterback as a true freshman (four).

- Wide receiver Tee Higgins finished the afternoon with 62 yards on six catches. He pushed his single-season career high in touchdown receptions this year to six.

- The multi-touchdown game was Higgins’ first of the season and second of his career, matching his career high (two) set against The Citadel on Nov. 18, 2017.

- Wide receiver Amari Rodgers totaled 156 yards six carries, surpassing his previous career-high of 73 rushing yards, set against Texas A&M in the second game of the season.

- Higgins and Rodgers both became the first Clemson player to record multiple touchdown receptions in a single game since Hunter Renfrow at South Carolina on Nov. 25, 2017.

- Higgins and Rodgers became the first Clemson duo to both catch two touchdown passes in a single game since Germone Hopper and Mike Williams against North Carolina on Sept. 27, 2014.

- Higgins has now recorded a touchdown catch in three straight games, becoming the first Clemson player

to accomplish the feat since Mike Williams' four-game streak in the final four regular season contests of 2016.

- Defensive tackle Christian Wilkins recorded the first rushing touchdown of his career on a one-yard touchdown plunge in the second quarter.

- The rushing touchdown is believed to be the first by a Clemson defensive lineman since the advent of the two-platoon system.

- It was Wilkins’ second career offensive touchdown, joining his one-yard touchdown reception against Troy in 2016.

- H-back Garrett Williams also recorded the first rushing touchdown of his career on Clemson’s next possession, scoring on a two-yard run on his first career carry.

- Williams’ first career touchdown came in the stadium in which his father, Dayne, played collegiately for Florida State.

- Rodgers opened the second-half scoring with a 58-yard touchdown reception, his second of the season and his first since scoring Clemson’s first points of the season in the opener against Furman.

- Rodgers added a 68-yard touchdown reception later in the quarter. All of Rodgers’ touchdown receptions this season have covered 40-plus yards.

- Rodgers became the first Clemson player to catch two touchdowns of 50-plus yards in a single game since Artavis Scott against South Carolina in 2014. He joins Scott, Germone Hopper (2014 vs. North Carolina) and Craig Brantley (1974 vs. Virginia) as the only Clemson players to accomplish the feat since 1950 and the first to do so on the road.

- Wide receiver T.J. Chase recorded his first career touchdown reception on a five-yardp pass from Chase Brice in the third quarter.

- On a 15-yard rushing touchdown in the fourth quarter, his third of the season, running back Adam Choice reached 1,000 career rushing yards during the contest to give Clemson three active 1,000-yard career rushers on its current roster (Travis Etienne and Tavien Feaster).

- Linebacker Tre Lamar recorded his first career interception, picking off Florida State quarterback Deondre Francois in the second quarter.

- With Lamar’s interception, Clemson forced a takeaway in a 16th consecutive contest, the program's longest streak since an 18-game stretch across the 2004-05 seasons.

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 inception 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.

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 .784 winning percentage is 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 such 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.

NOTESDOMINANT DEFENSE

Since the advent of the College Football Playoff in 2014, Clemson has routinely produced one of the nation's elite defenses, a trend that has carried into the 2018 season as well.

Clemson has ranked in the Top 10 in the country in total defense in each of the last four seasons and has ranked among the Top 10 in scoring defense in three of those campaigns. Clemson enters this week's game against Louisville ranked in the Top 5 in the country in both total defense (263.9 yards per game, third) and scoring defense (13.0 points per game, tied for first).

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 explosiveness and consistency in the running game has put the 2018 Tigers on pace to break the team record for yards-per-carry average.

Clemson enters this week having outrushed opponents by an average of 145.4 yards per game this season, the fourth-best differential in the country and the second-best in the Power Five. Clemson is the only non-triple-option team in the Top 5 in the category. Georgia Tech leads the nation in rushing differential per game; however, Clemson outrushed Georgia Tech by 102 yards in a 49-21 win on Sept. 22.

Clemson's rushing prowess this season has not come at the expense of the team's passing game. With 1,896 rushing yards and 2,285 passing yards, Clemson is one of only eight FBS teams with at least 1,850 rushing yards and 1,850 passing yards this season. Clemson and Oklahoma are the only Power Five squads included among that group.

CLOSE GAME SUCCESSClemson's stretch of consecutive 10-win seasons

dating back to 2011 has been bolstered significantly by the team's success in close games in that span. The Tigers have played 28 games with a final margin of eight points or less, and Clemson's 85.7 winning percentage in those one-possession contests is the best in the country in that span among teams with at least 10 such games.

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 22 plays of 40 yards or more this season, the Tigers have accounted for 15 through the air and seven on the ground. Clemson has 15 plays of 50 yards or more, with a split of nine passing and six rushing.

Clemson's 15 plays of 50 yards or more through eight games this season have already surpassed the team's total of 12 through 14 games a year ago. Clemson's nine 50-plus-yard passing plays this year have also passed its six such plays from a season 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. Mike Jones, Justin Mascoll, Drew Swinney and Jake Venables pushed that number to 18 by making their collegiate debuts against NC State. Clemson's 18 true freshmen to appear in game action this season are the most in a year since 1982.

SATURDAYS ARE FOR THE TIGERSClemson enters Saturday's contest against Louisville

having won each of its last 24 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 721 days prior to this week's contest against Louisville, for Clemson's most recent loss on a Saturday.

Clemson's 24-game Saturday winning streak is the longest active streak in the FBS. In total, Clemson has won 45 of its last 46 Saturday games. The Tigers' current 24-game streak started following a 2016 loss to Pitt that was preceded by a 21-game Saturday winning streak across the 2014-16 seasons, previously the longest such streak in program history.

Entering this week's game against Louisville, Clemson has shut out an opponent in the first half in three straight games and a total of five times this season.

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 Wilkins, Jalen Williams and Richard Yeargin.

-- OFFENSIVE SPOTLIGHT --

#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 fifth in the country — and second in the Power Five — in yards-per-carry average among players with at least 50 carries this season. (Note: freshman teammate Lyn-J Dixon ranks fourth in the FBS with 9.22 yards per carry when lowering

the qualification threshold to 30 carries.)

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 7.49-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 at third is his current backfield colleague, Tavien Feaster, who reached the 1,000-yard mark in the fourth game of 2018.

Despite averaging fewer than 14 carries per game through the team's first eight contests, Etienne (845) enters this week 155 yards from reaching 1,000 rushing yards on the season. If he were to reach the mark this week, it would tie the mark for the fastest any Clemson player has rushed for 1,000 yards in a season and represent only the second time a Clemson player had accomplished the feat in single-digit games.

#13 HUNTER RENFROW, WRWhile one specific catch made by Hunter Renfrow

during 2017 College Football Playoff National Championship Game will live in Clemson lore forever, few in the history of Clemson Football have hauled in receptions with as much regularity as Renfrow.

Renfrow has recorded at least one reception in the last 36 consecutive games in which he appeared. (Note: Renfrow missed four games in 2016 with a hand injury).

Artavis Scott currently holds the school record for

consecutive games with a completion (38 from 2014-16). The record was previously held by Clemson legend Jerry Butler (36, 1975-78), whom Renfrow can pass for sole possession of second place with another reception this week.

Against Syracuse, Renfrow became only the 10th player in school history to record 150 career receptions. During the contest, he also surpassed Perry Tuttle for ninth on the team's career receptions list. Tuttle and Renfrow will always be linked in Clemson lore as the recipients of game-winning touchdown passes to secure the program's national championships in 1981 and 2016, respectively.

#16 TREVOR LAWRENCE, QBBetween the explosive debuts of C.J. Spiller, Sammy

Watkins and Deshaun Watson, Clemson has had no shortage of superlative freshmen in the last dozen years. Seven games into 2018, true freshman quarterback Trevor Lawrence is making his case to be considered among that illustrious group.

Lawrence is only the second true freshman and fourth freshman overall in Clemson history to record double-digit touchdown passes.

Lawrence made his first career start against Syracuse, becoming only the sixth true freshman to start at quarterback for Clemson all-time, joining Steve Fuller (1975), Willie Jordan (1975), Patrick Sapp (1992), Nealon Greene (1994) and Deshaun Watson (2014). He earned his fourth win as a starter against Florida State, tying Watson's school record for most wins as a true freshman starting quarterback.

#75 MITCH HYATT, OTWhile the return of the members of Clemson's

ballyhooed defensive line generated a majority of the team's offseason headlines, Clemson's offensive line returned its own first-team All-American in left tackle Mitch Hyatt. In July, Hyatt was the leading vote-getter in the preseason All-ACC selection process, appearing on a conference-high 130 of 148 possible ballots, 28 more votes than ACC Preseason Player of the Year AJ Dillon.

Hyatt, a three-year letterman out of Suwanee, Ga., entered the 2018 campaign with 43 games, 42 starts and 2,885 snaps to his credit, helping Clemson to an ACC title and College Football Playoff berth in each of his first three seasons.

GO GO POWER RANGERS:#7 AUSTIN BRYANT, #42 CHRISTIAN WILKINS, #90 DEXTER LAWRENCE AND #99 CLELIN FERRELL

Neither short on personality nor on production, Clemson returns all four starters on its defensive line in 2018. 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 fifth among active FBS players in career sacks and is climbing Clemson's all-time leaderboard in that category.

Bryant, Ferrell and Wilkins have all reached double-digits in career sacks. Clemson is one of only five schools in the country that can boast three active players with 10

or more career sacks. Lawrence (9.5) can join the group with his next half-sack. Ferrell and Bryant are one of only three single-school duos in the country with 15-plus career sacks each.

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.

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

ATLANTA — No. 3/2 Clemson opened 2018 ACC play with a 49-21 win over the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets at Bobby Dodd Stadium in Atlanta. The win marked Clemson’s fourth straight victory over Georgia Tech for just the third time in program 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. Through the air, a balanced effort quarterbacked by Trevor Law-rence powered the Tigers. Lawrence completed 18 of his 21 pass attempts in the first half alone, connecting with nine different receivers to amass 173 yards and two touchdowns in the first 30 minutes.

The Tigers held a 7-0 advantage at the end of the first quarter courtesy of a 59-yard scoring run by Eti-enne. It was the first of six touchdowns of 50 yards or more by Clemson during the contest, including two by Etienne, two by Dixon, one by Choice and one by receiver Justyn Ross.

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.

GAME STATS

CLEMSON, S.C. — No. 3 Clemson emerged victo-rious in a battle of unbeatens at Memorial Stadium, defeating the No. 16/15 NC State Wolfpack by a score of 41-7.

Offensively, Clemson was powered by Trevor Law-rence, who was 26-39 for 308 yards and one touch-down. Travis Etienne rushed for three touchdowns for the third straight game, a school first. The Tiger de-fense, led by Isaiah Simmons’ 11 total tackles, held a Wolfpack offense that had been averaging 33 points per game to just the seven points.

The Tigers turned a 14-0 first quarter lead into a 24-0 halftime advantage after converting a Dexter Law-rence fumble recovery into an Etienne touchdown run and a K’Von Wallace interception into a Greg Huegel field goal.

The third quarter scoring opened with just under four minutes left in it, when Etienne ran for his third touch-down of the day, a one-yard rush that put the Tigers up 31-0. The Wolfpack got on the board on the first play of the fourth quarter, when a Reggie Gallaspy Jr. nine-yard rush cut the Tigers’ lead to 31-7.

Huegel hit his second field goal of the day and 50thof his career, a 27-yarder, a few minutes later. A two-yard rushing touchdown for Lyn-J Dixon with eight minutes left in the game rounded out the scoring, bringing the final score to 41-7, tied for the second-largest margin of victory over an AP Top 25 team in school history.

GAME STATS

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Freshman Trevor Lawrence threw for four touchdowns as No. 2 Clemson rolled to a 59-10 victory over Florida State.

Lawrence finished the game with a career-high 314 passing yards, connecting on 20-37 passes. The receiv-ing duo of Amari Rodgers and Tee Higgins combined for four touchdowns and 218 yards, including a career-high 165 receiving yards by Rodgers. On the other side of the ball, the Clemson defense forced seven three-and-outs by Florida State and totaled 14 tackles for loss, including five sacks.

Clemson took a 14-0 lead on touchdown passes of seven and three yards from Lawrence to Higgins. Line-backer Tre Lamar later returned an interception 43 yards to set up a touchdown run by defensive tackle Christian Wilkins. Garrett Williams also scored on a two-yard touchdown run late in the first half.

It was the Amari Rodgers show in the third quarter as the sophomore recorded receiving touchdowns of 58 and 68 yards, respectively. A field goal by B.T. Potter and a five-yard connection from Chase Brice to T.J. Chase made the score 52-3 in Clemson's favor entering the fourth quarter.

In the fourth quarter, Adam Choice became the third Tiger — but first running back — to rush for a touch-down on the day, punching the ball into the end zone on a 15-yard run. A late FSU score brought the final to 59-10.
