 TODAYS GAME FLORIDA STATE VS. CLEMSON
DIVISION TITLE AT STAKE
A Clemson win today will give it a 7-1 ACC record
and at least a share of the Atlantic Division title. And
with holding the tiebreaker with NC State, it would
mean the Tigers advance to the ACC Championship
Game in Charlotte, N.C., on Dec. 2. It would also give
Clemson a third straight division title and sixth in the
nine full seasons that Dabo Swinney has been the Ti-
gers head coach. It would mean Clemson plays for the
ACC title for the fifth time in Swinneys tenure as well.
Clemson won the ACC Atlantic Division in 2009, his
first full season as head coach, but lost to Georgia Tech
in the championship game 39-34 in the only game in
Tiger history that both teams did not punt.
The Tigers won the ACC Atlantic Division again in
2011 on the way to winning the ACC title with a 38-

10 win over Virginia Tech. The Tigers and Florida State
both had 7-1 records to share the ACC Atlantic Divi-
sion title in 2012, but Florida State went to the ACC
Championship Game because it defeated Clemson in
the regular-season matchup.
In 2015, Clemson had an 8-0 mark to win the divi-
sion and defeated North Carolina to win the title. Last
year, Clemson and Louisville both finished with 7-1 re-
cords, but the Tigers went to the ACC Championship
Game by virtue of a 42-36 win over Louisville in the
regular season. The Tigers defeated Virginia Tech for
Swinneys third ACC title, giving Clemson ACC cham-
pionships in back-to-back years for the first time since
winning three in a row from 1986-88.
FLORIDA STATE UPDATE
In many ways, Florida State is experiencing Clem-
sons 2010 season. That was Dabo Swinneys second
full season as Clemsons head coach. The Tigers fin-
ished with a 6-7 record, but five of the losses were by
a touchdown or less, including a 16-13 loss at Florida
State on a 55-yard field goal on the last play of the
game.
TODAYS HONOREES
HONORARY CAPTAINS
Archie Reese was a four-year letterman for the
Tigers from 1974-77. He was a starter in 1977 on
the team that brought the program to a bowl game
for the first time in 18 years. He finished that sea-
son with 81 tackles, including 16 tackles for loss.
Reese went on to play six years in the NFL and was
a starter on the 49ers 1981 Super Bowl champion-
ship team.
Kevin Youngblood was a four-year letterman be-
tween 2000-03 who is 11th in school history in
receptions. He had 142 receptions for 1,713 yards
while playing on two top-25 teams. He will always
be remembered for his game-ending touchdown
catch in overtime to defeat Virginia in 2003.
PROFESSOR-OF-THE-GAME
Dr. Erica Walker is an assistant professor in
graphic communications in Clemsons College of
Business. Before becoming an educator, she co-
founded Galatia Films, a film production company
that offered print and digital materials, as well
The Seminoles enter todays game with a 3-5 record,
and three of the five losses have been by a touchdown
or less. They have also won three close games, includ-
ing 27-24 against Syracuse last week. Ironically, that is
the same score by which Syracuse handed Clemson its
only loss this year.
The Seminoles lost starting quarterback Deondre
Francois in the first game of the season against No. 1
Alabama to an injury. But freshman James Blackman
has done well as a replacement, completing 107-181
passes for 1,285 yards and eight touchdowns.
One of the rising stars of the ACC is freshman run-
ning back Cam Akers, who has a team-high 695 rushing
yards. He is coming off his best game against Syracuse,
when he had 22 carries for 199 yards and two touch-
downs.
The Florida State defense is talented and features
Derwin James, Josh Sweat and Tarvarus McFadden.
James and McFadden have been on Mel Kipers Big
Board as top-25 candidates for first-round selection
in the 2018 NFL draft. Sweat has 43 tackles and 10.5
tackles for loss as a defensive lineman, while James is
the teams second-leading tackler (53).

photography, video and web development, she re-
searches entrepreneurship in graphic communica-

gram coordinator for the College of Business at
Clemson. She provides support for extracurricular

and Clemson is fortunate that she has chosen to
continue serving her alma mater.

BIG BROTHER
THE YOUNGEST OF EIGHT, CHRISTIAN WILKINS HAS BECOME THE BIG BROTHER ON THE DOMINANT DEFENSIVE LINE.

BY COLBY LANHAM

D
uring any Clemson game,
Christian Wilkins is never far
from the action. On defense,
most of the time, Wilkins
makes life for opposing of-
fenses a nightmare alongside the rest of
the Tigers dominant defensive linemen.
Other times, he finds different ways
to stand out. Whether its jumping in
midway through teammate interviews
or Swag Surfing with the rest of the
defensive line in a downpour, Wilkins al-
ways adds an extra element of fun and
swagger into the Tigers defense, as he
credits a lot of his positive energy and
fervor to one simple thing...his passion
for football.
That comes from my love of the
game, my teammates and what I do.
Football is such an amazing game and
it brings people together from all diverse
backgrounds.
I generally love that and being with
my guys. I try to be the best teammate I
can be and I know that brings a lot of en-
ergy. Hopefully, I can be that spark that
ignites the rest of the team.
As the youngest of eight siblings,
Wilkins has been the product of a strong
family upbringing, each of whom have
imparted something in one way or an-
other upon their little brother.
My family is a big part of why I do
what I do and the person I am, and it
starts with my immediate family with my
mom and my siblings.
When youre the youngest of eight
kids, everyone raises you. It takes a vil-
lage to raise a child, and Im a direct
receiver of that. It couldnt be any more
apparent in my life and situation, so I try
to take as much as I can from everyone.

TIGER SPOTLIGHT My mother is a very strong woman,

including how she was able to cope with
a lot of things. I took on that. With my
grandfather, I try to take on his personal-
ity.
Many are familiar with the story of
Wilkins late grandfather, Eurie Stamps
Sr., who had a profound impact on him
and the kind of man he has become.
Stamps was accidently killed by a police
officer in Framingham, Mass., on Jan. 5,
2011. He was a guiding light for Wilkins
and continues to be. He wears #42 in
CHRISTIAN WILKINS honor of Stamps, who was born in 1942.
While Wilkins is the youngest little

tin (Bryant), Dexter (Lawrence), Albert
(Huggins), Jabril (Robinson)...all these
guys are my brothers now.
As a battle-tested junior having played the past three seasons, he has become
in blistering heat, torrential downpours a big brother of sorts to the rest of his
and two national championship games younger Clemson teammates. With his
experiences in such environments and
his own life experiences, Wilkins contin-
ues to keep doing what he does best...
love and serve.
Two of the most powerful things you
can do are to love and serve, because its
an unselfish and uncommon thing to do.
Thats the message I often try to instill in
everyone and in the young guys.
Its easy to get caught up in every-
thing going on, because a lot is obviously
asked of us and a lot of time people get
so much joy from us, and you must re-
spect that. Once you serve someone and
you love others, it gives you more per-
spective on life.
Of course, even a big brother and vet-
eran like Wilkins continues to undergo
his own growing process. Through his
time at Clemson, Wilkins has continued
to amass more role models. These have
come in the form of his football coaches
who have not only helped the Spring-
field, Mass., native mold his craft, but
have continued to mold him into a better
man.
Coach (Brent) Venables did an ex-
CHRISTIAN cellent job recruiting me and getting

WILKINS
Coach (Todd) Bates has done a
good job coming in as the defensive line
coach, and Ive enjoyed getting close
with him as well. Coach (Dan) Brooks
was the same as well before he retired,
and I had a great relationship with him.
I couldnt have asked for better male fig-
ures in my life.
Despite all that has occurred in his
life, Wilkins has managed to remain the
same person he was when he arrived in
2015. How does one of the most well-
known defensive tackles in the country
manage to stay humble despite the con-
tinuous accolades heaped upon him?
Its really just knowing that theres
always room for improvement, no matter
how well you do. The best of the best
always try to get better. Its just what
I want to do and I try to stay humble,
especially since I know theres always
someone who can do something better
than I can. Thats the way I try to think
and keep a humble spirit.
When it comes to the extra attention,
Wilkins said that he hasnt changed
much as a person in his three years at
Clemson. Rather, he has continued his
evolution as a man.
Of course for Wilkins, that also means
never forgetting to have that same ele-
ment of fun, especially alongside his
teammates. Going forward, no matter
what his future holds, Wilkins will con-
tinue to apply what he has learned from
his family, teammates and coaches...
to keep on moving forward on whatever
path life takes him.

throw me back in and I would make an
amazing play. That got me going in the
right direction and helped me learn to be
more aggressive.
Once the time came for him to choose
a college where he could continue his
career, it was a natural decision to fol-
low in his uncles footsteps and become
a Tiger, and though he obviously had no
way of knowing it at the time, a national
champion Tiger.
It came down between Ohio State
and Clemson, and I had grown up being
a fan of Clemson. Ive always loved the
school. When I came for my first football
visit, I didnt really know what to expect
from the football side. But when I came
and met coach (Dabo) Swinney and all of
the other coaches, I fell in love with it.
I love how real everyone is and the
atmosphere...how everyones a family.
All the guys on the team came up and
talked to me, and Im very bashful and
not very talkative. But from that, I saw
the culture and knew this was where I
wanted to go. I really believed what they
had here was special, and I believed that
coming here, I could help be a part of
that.
And he has been a big part. Enter-
ing his junior season in 2017, since
getting the start in that first game in
2015, Hyatt totaled 69.5 knockdown
blocks in 2,043 snaps. During his fresh-
man season, he garnered ACC Offensive
Lineman-of-the-Week honors after play-
ing every snap against Florida State, and
in doing so, he became Clemsons first
first-year freshman to earn that weekly
accolade.
Hyatt also played his way to All-ACC
honors in both of his first two years, and
he hopes the way he has played the
game is something that his teammates
will remember him for. In 2016, he be-
came he first Clemson offensive lineman
in history to be a First-Team All-ACC se-
lection as a sophomore.
I want people to remember me as
someone who they can look up to. Ive
never been a vocal leader, and Im more
of a lead by example guy. But when I
leave, I want to be respected for what
I did when I was here and have people
look up to me and how I did things. I
hope I set a standard.
And he is grateful for the part that
the Clemson family has played along the
way.
I want to tell the Clemson family
that I appreciate everyone and all the

Clemson was the place. It was very
odd, though, because Clemson was my
third offer, and I didnt really look into
Clemson. But once all the big schools
started recruiting me, I said, Hey, Im
gonna take a visit to Clemson.
Cain noted that the nine-hour drive
from his home in Tampa, Fla., was dis-
couraging him from visiting at first, but
he ultimately took his deciding visit after
his coach offered to drive him.
We drove up here, and I was mind-
blown. I didnt know where Clemson
was. I didnt know it was this small
(town), but I just felt like it was home for
me.
Cain passed on Florida State, Florida
and many other schools in his home
state as well as Ohio State and Alabama,
a decision that has worked out well. Cain
quickly made a name for himself during
his freshman season, becoming an im-
pact player downfield. Cain noted it was
a tremendous experience to make an im-
pact so quickly.
It was great because I had set goals
coming into this, my freshman year, and
every year, and it was good to actually
come in as an impact player and help
this team, because we went on a great
run that year. We lost in the national
championship game, but at the end of
the day, we still fought.

I was working like I did all the time,
and I wasnt really thinking about a re-

about it every week. I just wanted to go
in the game and make plays, so it was
also a great experience for me and my
family to come in and show that this is
what I want to do...to come out here and
actually pursue my goals.
Cain has had many successes
throughout his career, but he has also
had his share of adversity. He was sus-
pended for the two bowl games during
his freshman season. Though a tough
situation, Cain described it as a learning
experience.
It made me see what I wanted to
do in life. So at the end of the day, the
experience actually matured me, and it
actually made me a better player. When
I came back, I felt like I had a lot on my
shoulders.
Cain entered his sophomore season
with more maturity and seriousness. He
also entered the national championship
season of 2016 with some extra motiva-
tion after missing the contest the previ-
ous season. With this one being in his
hometown of Tampa, he was thankful for
the opportunity to play and elated after
the victory.

THANK YOU,
CLEMSON FAMILY, FOR GIVING 110%.
This year was a victory on the field and off. The dreams were big and the goals were lofty, but
yet again, the Clemson Family pulled us through.
Over 22,000 alumni, friends, parents and corporations made gifts this year, bringing our total dollars
raised to over $151 million. Your gifts have a direct impact on our students, faculty and staff and
help provide the necessary resources, facilities and technology to allow for their success. Meeting
these ambitious goals takes teamwork, and we couldnt ask for a stronger, more dedicated team than
the Clemson Family. Your support not only helps us be champions today, but also prepares us for
future success.
This was a year to remember on many fronts! We are forever grateful for your support.

on Dec. 1, 2012, Dan Rada-

the Tiger athletic department
to high achievements, both on the field
and in the classroom, while develop-
ing significant upgrades in finance and
facilities. Since his arrival, Radakovich
has led Clemson athletics to a period of
sustained success, considered among
the greatest stretches in school history.

SWINNEY

ALL IN
THE FOUR-TIME NATIONAL COACH-OF-THE-YEAR AND HIS ALL-IN APPROACH HAVE LED THE
PROGRAM TO RECORD-SETTING HEIGHTS, INCLUDING THE 2016 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP.

22
T
here is a strong coaching heri-
tage over the 121 years of Clem-
son football that dates to the
early 1900s, when John Heis-
man led the program. Jess Neely,
Frank Howard and Danny Ford continued
the winning and joined Heisman in the
College Football Hall of Fame.
Dabo Swinney has been at Clemson
for just nine years as head coach, but
he cemented himself as a coaching leg-
end when he led the Tigers to the 2016
national championship, the second in
school history (1981).
Clemson defeated the top-two teams
in the national polls in consecutive
games. The Tigers blanked Ohio State
31-0 in the Fiesta Bowl, the first shut-
out suffered by head coach Urban Meyer
in his career and the first for Ohio State
since 1993.
The Tigers then earned a rematch
with No. 1 Alabama, and for the first
time in school history took down the top-
ranked team in a second epic battle with
the Crimson Tide. Deshaun Watsons
touchdown pass to Hunter Renfrow with
one second left gave Clemson a 35-31
win in Tampa, Fla. Swinney won the Bear
Bryant Award as national coach-of-the-
year for the second consecutive season.
With a preseason No. 2 national rank-
ing, the 2016 Tigers lived up to the hype
after compiling a 14-1 record and earn-
ing a spot in the College Football Playoff
for a second straight year. Along the way,
Clemson knocked off five top-25 foes,
including No. 3 Louisville. The Tigers
exorcised several road demons, winning
at historically tough places such as Au-
burn, Georgia Tech and Florida State.
He coached Watson to two record-
setting seasons. The two-time Heisman
Trophy finalist became the first player in
FBS history to total 4,000 passing yards
and 1,000 rushing yards in a season in victories came against ACC teams. The

three ACC titles, won or shared five ACC
Atlantic Division titles and won seven
bowl games (five against top-10 teams).
His teams have compiled 20 wins over
ranked teams in his head-coaching ca-
reer, including 12 over top-10 teams.
Swinney guided Clemson to the No.
1 national ranking in every College Foot-
ball Playoff poll in 2015 and led the Ti-
gers to their first national championship
game appearance under the new format
after his team defeated Oklahoma 37-
17 in the 2015 Orange Bowl. The Tigers
led Alabama in the fourth quarter of the
championship contest, but came up just
short (45-40) in an epic game in Glen-
dale, Ariz.
Following the teams 14-1 record and
No. 2 final ranking, he was the recipi-
ent of 10 national and two ACC coach-
of-the-year honors. The Tigers defeated
four teams that finished the season in
the top 15 of both polls.
In 2015, a Tiger-record 17 players
were named to one of three All-ACC
teams, including all five starting offen-
sive linemen for the first time in school
history. In 2016, 15 players were hon-
ored, including a school-record three
First-Team All-ACC offensive line selec-
tions.
The 2012, 2013 and 2014 seasons
were also noteworthy, with three top-
15 final rankings in the polls. Clemson
joined Alabama, Florida State, Ohio
State and Oregon as the only schools
in the nation to make that claim. Each
of Clemsons teams from 2011-16 also
registered double-digit victories, the first
time the program has done it six straight
seasons. Only Alabama has duplicated
the feat.
With the 2014 Russell Athletic Bowl
victory (40-6) over Oklahoma, Swin-
ney became the first and only coach in
history to win three bowl games in con-
secutive seasons over teams whose head
coaches had previously won the national
@CLEMSONFB CLEMSONTIGERS.COM 23
 title. He has now done it five years in a
row.
Clemson capped off the 2013 season
with a thrilling 40-35 victory over No. 6
Ohio State in the Orange Bowl. Clemson
had an 11-2 record after finishing 7-1
in ACC regular-season games. It marked
Clemsons first back-to-back 11-win
seasons in school history. For the fourth
time in his first five full seasons as head
coach, Swinney was a finalist for the Lib-
erty Mutual National Coach-of-the-Year
award in 2013.
The 2012 season (11-2) was a
groundbreaking year for Swinneys Tigers
when looking at the overall consistency
of the program. The seven conference
wins in the regular season were then a
school record, while Clemson was co-
champion of the ACC Atlantic Division.
With Clemsons thrilling 25-24 win
over No. 7 Louisiana State in the 2012
Chick-fil-A Bowl, the Tigers finished the
season ranked No. 9 in the USA Today
poll. It was Clemsons first top-10 fin-
ish in one of the two major polls since
1990. Clemson also reached the 11-win
mark for the first time since its 1981 na-
tional championship season. The Tigers
finished No. 14 in the final BCS stand-
ings as well.
Swinneys 2011 squad, which ended
the season ranked No. 22 in the nation,
captured Clemsons first ACC title since
1991 when it beat No. 3 Virginia Tech
38-10 in the ACC Championship Game
in Charlotte, N.C. The Tigers second win
over the Hokies in 2011 gave Clemson
its first 10-win season since 1990.
For his efforts, Swinney was named
Bobby Dodd National Coach-of-the-Year
in 2011 to become the first Tiger head
coach to win a national coach-of-the-
year award since 1981, when Ford di-
rected Clemson to the national title.

tenure in Tigertown.
Swinney coached his wide receiver
position to a level of consistency that
had not been seen previously at Clem-
son. He had a wideout finish first or sec-
ond in the ACC in catches in five of his
six years as an assistant coach. In his
first year, he had three of the top-10 re-
ceivers in the ACC, a first in Tiger history.
He has coached a First or Second-Team
All-ACC wideout (Derrick Hamilton, Ai-
rese Currie, Chansi Stuckey, Aaron Kelly,
Jacoby Ford, Sammy Watkins, DeAndre
Hopkins, Artavis Scott, Mike Williams)
in 13 of his 14 seasons in Tigertown,
also unprecedented at Clemson.
The Alabama native has a reputation
as one of the top recruiters in the nation.
In 2006, he was listed as the No. 5 re-
cruiter in the nation by Rivals. He signed
38 players in his five recruiting seasons
as an assistant coach and was a major
reason Clemsons 2008 recruiting class
was rated No. 2 in the nation by ESPN
when he signed 11 players.
When Swinney accepted the interim
head coaching position at Clemson on
Oct. 13, 2008, he described his feel-
ings as bittersweet, because he was
taking over for Bowden, who had been
his first position coach at Alabama in the
1989 season. He had also brought Swin-
ney back to the coaching profession in
2003 and has had a profound effect on
his life. Both had followed similar paths
as players, as Bowden was a walk-on at
West Virginia and Swinney was a walk-on
at Alabama.
Swinney received a commerce & busi-
ness administration degree from Ala-
bama in 1993 after lettering three times
(1990-92). A walk-on who went on to
earn a scholarship, Swinney was a wide
receiver on Alabamas 1992 national
championship team. He was also named
Academic All-SEC along with being an
SEC Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll member
in 1990 and 1992.
Along with his appearance in the
1993 Sugar Bowl, his Alabama teams
played in the 1990 Sugar Bowl, 1991
Fiesta Bowl and 1991 Blockbuster
Bowl. Both Sugar Bowl appearances
came after winning the SEC title game.
After his playing career, Swin-
ney served as a graduate assistant at
Alabama from 1993-95. In December
1995, he received a masters degree in
business administration from Alabama.
He became a full-time assistant
coach at Alabama in February 1996
under head coach Gene Stallings and
coached a total of five seasons there on a
full-time basis. Swinney was assigned to
coach the Crimson Tides wide receivers
and tight ends in 1996, a season that
saw Alabama win the SEC Western Divi- Tide in the 2000 Orange Bowl after win- vision titles (1992,93,94,96,99) as a

For more than 80 years, IPTAY members have been making a difference in the lives of Clemson student-athletes. With the ever-changing climate of higher
education and intercollegiate athletics, IPTAY has been vital to the continued success of Tiger athletics. To continue to grow support and help meet the
demands of the current college athletics landscape, IPTAY is excited to introduce the 110% Campaign for the IPTAY 2018 year. From now until the end of
the fiscal year, we are challenging our members to give an additional 10 percent for their annual gift in 2018 versus 2017.

In recent years, IPTAY has taken on funding additional components of the athletic enterprise in addition to the growing costs of scholarships
and academic support. We expect that IPTAY members, as they have in the organizations storied history, will make the commitment to participate in this
110% Campaign in their support of the Tigers! To learn more about this exciting new initiative, visit ClemsonTigers.com/IPTAY.

IF YOURE NOT GONNA GIVE 110%, SUPPORTING CLEMSON STUDENT-ATHLETES SINCE 1934

 BEST IS THE STANDARD
ALLEN N. REEVES FOOTBALL COMPLEX, CLEMSONS STATE-OF-THE-ART PLAYER FACILITY, HOUSES
ALL OPERATIONS FOR TIGER FOOTBALL AND IS LIKE NO OTHER FACILITY IN THE COUNTRY.
T
he talk of college football prior to
the 2017 season from a facility
standpoint was Clemsons Allen
N. Reeves Football Complex.
The $55 million facility that is
142,000 square feet has all the bells
and whistles, but is also among the
DABO SWINNEY WITH VIVIAN REEVES, WHO, ALONG WITH HUSBAND, ALLEN, WERE
74 INSTRUMENTAL IN THE BUILDING OF THE ALLEN N. REEVES FOOTBALL COMPLEX.
most functional of its kind nationally.
That was the goal in the first place for
Thad Turnipseed when he met with head
coach Dabo Swinney about his vision for
a football facility five years ago.
Coach Swinney has always lived by
the slogan, Best is the Standard, and
that is what he sought to do in the design
of this building, said Turnipseed. I
went to 36 football facilities around the
nation. He said to take the best from
each place, and that is what we did.
The first thing you see when you
step into the lobby are three national
championship trophies. Three? When
you win the national title, you receive
trophies from each organization that
proclaims a champion.
The first trophy is the gold trophy
from the College Football Playoff, the
one the players and Swinney held during
the postgame celebration after defeating
top-ranked Alabama on Jan. 9, 2017 in
Tampa, Fla.
The other two (1981, 2016) that sit
behind the gold trophy are the Waterford
Crystal football from the USA Today
poll, which officially named Clemson
national champion the day after the
Tigers defeated Alabama. There is an AP
national championship trophy that is on
the second floor.
The lobby also includes a replica
of Howards Rock and the Hill from
Memorial Stadium. At the top of the
Hill, there is a button you can push
and listen to Brent Musburger and Kirk
Herbstreit describe college footballs
greatest entrance. It is audio taken from
the opening of the Clemson vs. Georgia
game in 2013.
Off the lobby to the right is the area
for P.A.W. Journey. That is where Jeff
Davis and Allison Waymyers are located.
It provides a study area, but also
houses meeting rooms for community
service activities and meeting places
for prospective employers who are
considering hiring Clemson football
players after their careers end. Team
advisor Reggie Pleasants office is on the
second floor of this area.
A corridor outside the P.A.W. Journey
area takes you to the dining area.
This area is spacious and includes a
biometric scanner that helps develop
NATIONAL CHAMPIONS 1981 2016

each players food intake based on their
current weight.
Adjacent to the dining area are the
outside and inside players village.
The outside area includes a nine-hole
miniature golf course, a covered full-
court basketball facility with glass
backboards and a state-of-the-art
surface, an artificial-surface wiffle ball
diamond, sand volleyball facility, a
horseshoe pit, wading pool with a Tiger
Paw monument, outdoor kitchen and
lounge area with a 20-foot video screen.
Overall, the outdoor village is 1.5
acres and cost over $1.5 million to
build.
Back inside the player facility and
through glass doors is the indoor area
that is complete with a two-lane bowling
alley, Pop-A-Shot, video game area,
multiple ping-pong and pool tables and a
table shuffleboard. Adjacent to the ping-
pong tables is a golf simulator where you
can play Augusta National, St. Andrews
and Pebble Beach along with many other
great golf courses from around the world.
Down the corridor from the golf
simulator is a barber shop and shoeshine
area. Next to the barber shop is the nap
room, a concept that has gotten plenty of
attention.
The weight room is 23,000 square
feet. It looks to be the length of a
football field, and the entire team can
work out in it at one time.
After practice, especially during hot
weather, players step into a cold tub
(47 degrees) to help in post-practice
recovery. Through last season, large
ALLEN N. REEVES
tubs were brought to the outside wall of
FOOTBALL COMPLEX
the indoor football facility and players
traded off getting into the tubs. Now,
there is one large horizontal cold tub
that can handle 61 players at a time,
making the process much more efficient.
The training room is also state-of-
the-art with a lap pool and four therapy
pools. It is a spacious facility that makes
director of sports medicine Danny Poole
smile every day.
The second floor features the offices
for each coach. Swinneys office is
in the corner and fittingly overlooks
the practice fields at one side and the
outdoor basketball court on the other.
The second floor is the home of
Clemson footballs video department.
It is a facility that rivals a facility you
would see on a tour at ESPN. A green-
screen room is the home of interviews
and photos that you see on social media.
The room also has a direct fiber-optic
line to ESPN in Bristol, Conn.
The second floor has a meeting room
for each position and the team meeting
room that has seats for 180 (up from
158 for the team meeting room at
Memorial Stadium).
The second floor also features a
movie theater with 20 lounge chairs. On
any night, players can bring their favorite
movie and view on the big screen.
And finally, there is the slide!
This idea came straight from coach
Swinney, admitted Turnipseed. He
saw it at the Google headquarters in
the 2013 comedy, The Internship. He
loved it.
The slide is located near the back of
the building and is the quickest means
of transportation from the second floor
to the door that leads immediately to the
practice fields.

INDOOR FOOTBALL FACILITY

W
hen fans envision an indoor
practice facility like the
one that was completed for
the Tiger football team in
2013, certain stereotypes
come to mind. Common perceptions
are largely simplistic in nature, and the
idea that a facility that is solely for game
preparation, out of the gaze of onlook-
ers and carries a large amount of impor-
tance seems crazy. But the facility was
never about football alone. In fact, the
$10 million structure serves to unify the
athletic department, while providing Ti-
ger football with a cutting-edge structure
that helps complete a nationally-relevant
program.
On its face, the facility does exactly
what it purports to do...provide a place
for head coach Dabo Swinney to take
his team in case of inclement weather
without disrupting a schedule of events
that is packed full on a daily basis. It
equips the Tigers with a lavish place to
prepare for opponents in a game-like at-
mosphere.
It houses an 80,000 square foot
practice area that includes a full field,
which is surrounded by ample sideline
space to provide a comfortable environ-
ment. In order to simulate a gameday
experience, there is a fully-functional
scoreboard inside the facility along with
four play clocks and a videoboard.
High above the field on the second
story of the nearly 70-foot structure is
a long coaches platform so practice can
be viewed from above. In addition, by
way of a short corridor, the platform ex-
tends to the back side of the building,
so that any drills taking place outside on
the other two fields can be seen from the
building.
The indoor facility, which includes
more than 5,000 square feet of support,
adjoins the new Allen N. Reeves Football
Complex, specifically the new weight
room, and is air-conditioned.
The facility was dedicated in the fall
of 2016 and officially named the Betty
Sheppard Poe & William Maxwell Poe
Indoor Football Facility.

 MEMORIAL
STADIUM
FROM THE MOST EXCITING 25 SECONDS IN COLLEGE
FOOTBALL, TO 85,000 SCREAMING TIGER FANS,
DEATH VALLEY HAS GIVEN CLEMSON ONE OF THE
BEST HOME-FIELD ADVANTAGES IN THE COUNTRY.

82
DEATH
VALLEY 83
 C
lemsons Memorial Stadium
has been held in high esteem
for many years. Whether it be
players from the 1940s and
1950s, opposing players from
the 1970s and 1980s or even professional
players in the 1990s, the ambiance of this
special setting is what college football
is all about.
The storied edifice added to its legend
when the first meeting of father-and-son
head coaches (Bowden Bowl I) took place
before a record crowd of 86,092 fans
in 1999. Clemson has finished in the
top 20 in the country in average home
attendance 35 straight seasons. A crowd
has exceeded 80,000 fans 75 times since
the 1983 season. In 2016, Clemson was
14th in the nation in average home at-
tendance.
The legend was further enhanced in
2014 and 2015 when the Tigers had
perfect 7-0 home records, while Clemson
was 39-3 at Memorial Stadium from
2011-16. Defending national champions
are 0-3 all-time at Memorial Stadium.
Clemson had a 21-game winning streak
at home from 2013 to 2016, setting a
record for the facility.
The facilitys mystique is derived from
its many traditions, which date to its
opening in 1942, the legendary games
and players and Clemsons corresponding
rate of success. The Tigers have won 288
games in 75 years and have won over 73
percent of the contests (288-102-7).
The stadium has definitely been good to
the Tigers, but it was constructed against
the advice of at least one coach. Before
head coach Jess Neely left for Rice after
the 1939 season, he gave Clemson a
message.
Dont ever let them talk you into
building a big stadium, he said. Put
84
about 10,000 seats behind the YMCA.
Thats all youll ever need.
Instead of following Neelys advice,
Clemson officials decided to build the new
stadium in a valley on the western part of
campus. The place took some clearing, as
there were many trees, but luckily there
were no hedges.
The crews went to work, clearing, cut-
ting, pouring and forming. On Sept. 19,
1942, Memorial Stadium opened with
Clemson defeating Presbyterian College
32-13. Those 20,000 seats installed for
the opener would soon grow.
When the original part of the stadium
was built in the early 1940s, much of
the work was done by scholarship ath-
letes, including football players. The first
staking out of the stadium was done by
two members of the football team, A.N.
Cameron and Hugh Webb. Webb returned
to Clemson years later to be an architecture
professor and Cameron went on to become
a civil engineer in Louisiana.
The construction of Memorial Stadium
did not proceed without problems. One
afternoon during the clearing of the land,
a young player proudly announced that he
was not allergic to poison oak. He then
proceeded to attack the poison oak with
a swing blade, throwing the plants to and
fro. The next day, the boy was swollen
twice his size and was hospitalized.
There are many other stories about the
stadium, including one that Frank Howard
put a chew of tobacco in each corner as
the concrete was poured.
Howard said that the seeding of the
grass caused a few problems. three more weeks pay for however long it in the middle of the field and ate up that

in 1983. It increased capacity to over
80,000, which makes it one of the larg-
est on-campus stadiums in the country.
In 2006, the WestZone was added, an
area that contains locker rooms, offices,
a student-athlete enrichment center and
luxury club level that holds over 1,000
seats.
The effect that inflation has had can
be dramatically seen in the differences in
stadium construction. The original part
of Memorial Stadium was built at a cost
of only $125,000, or $6.25 per seat.
Memorial Stadiums newest upper deck
was finished in 1983 at a cost of $13.5
million, or $866 per seat.
Through the years, Memorial Stadium
has become known as Death Valley
across the country. It was tagged by
Presbyterian College head coach Lonnie
McMillian during the late 1940s. After
bringing his teams to Clemson for many
years and getting whipped, he said the
place was like Death Valley. A few years
later, the name stuck.
In 1974, the playing surface was named
Frank Howard Field for the legendary coach
because of his long service and dedication
to Clemson University.
Luckily, it wasnt built behind the
YMCA.

 RUNNING DOWN

A CLEMSON TRADITION SINCE 1942, THE TIGERS HAVE RUN DOWN THE
HILL HUNDREDS OF TIMES IN FRONT OF RAUCOUS DEATH VALLEY CROWDS.

standpoint actually started
out as a matter-of-fact entrance, mainly
because of necessity.
The first 20,000 seats in Memorial
Stadium were built and ready for use
before the 1942 season, less than a year
after Pearl Harbor was bombed and the
U.S., was drawn into World War II.
The shortest entry into Memorial Sta-
dium was a short walk down Williamson
Road from Fike Fieldhouses dressing
rooms to a gate at the top of the Hill,
located behind the east endzone. There
were no dressing facilities inside the west
endzone of Memorial Stadium...there was
only a giant clock, where the hands turned,
and a scoreboard that was operated by
hand.

secretary of IPTAY, to take this rock
and throw it over the fence or out in the
ditch...do something with it, but get it out
of my office!
Willimon did not think that was the
way a rock should be treated. After all, it
had been brought over 1,900 miles by a
very sincere Tiger fan.
By the mid 1960s, Memorial Stadium
was living up to its moniker (Death Val-
ley) because of the number of Tiger wins
that had been recorded there. Actually,
the name was first used by Lonnie McMil-
lian, head coach at Presbyterian College
during the 1940s.

coaches before him opened each season

(24 shutouts in 39 games) and with only
three wins and four ties, his teams were
getting killed by the Tigers regularly.
In 1948, McMillian made the remark

day, he was cleaning up his office and sional reference to Memorial Stadium by
told Gene Willimon, who was executive that name could be heard for the next four
years, but when Howard started calling it
Death Valley in the 1950s, the name
took off like wildfire. Clemson celebrated
its 75th year in the Valley in 2016.
But getting back to Howards Rock.
It was mounted on a pedestal at the
top of the Hill on the east side of the
stadium. It was unveiled Sept. 24, 1966,
when Clemson played Virginia. The Tigers
trailed by 18 points with 17 minutes left
and came back to win 40-35 on a 75-
yard pass from Jimmy Addison to Jacky
Jackson in the fourth quarter. That was
quite a debut for Howards Rock.
The team members started rubbing
Howards Rock prior to running down
the Hill on Sept. 23, 1967, a day when
Clemson defeated Wake Forest 23-6.
Prior to running down the Hill, Howard
told his players, If youre going to give
110 percent, you can rub that Rock. If
youre not, keep your filthy hands off it!
Howard told of the incident the follow-
ing day on his television show, and the
story became legend.
When Hootie Ingram succeeded How-
ard as head coach in 1970, he made the
logical decision that the team would make
its final entrance out of the new dressing
room in the west endzone.
In all home games in 1970 and 1971
and the first four games of 1972 when
the Tigers did not run down the Hill, their
combined record was 6-9.
The seniors, led by Ben Anderson,
decided they wanted to come down the
Hill prior to the South Carolina contest,
the finale of the 1972 season. The result,
in a cold, freezing rain, was a 7-6 victory
when Jimmy Williamson knocked down
a two-point conversion attempt, which
preserved the narrow win.
Clemson has made the entrance before
every home game since 1942, except for
the years mentioned and the first game
of 1973 (388 times entering 2017).
After final warmups, the team gath-
ers back in its dressing room under
the west endzone stands for its final
pregame instructions. Approximately
10 minutes prior to kickoff, the team
boards three buses, rides around behind
the north stands to the east endzone and
disembarks to the top of the Hill behind
Howards Rock.
At the appointed time, the cannon
booms, and led by a giant Tiger Paw flag
carried by cheerleaders and Rally Cats,
the band forms two lines for the team to
run between and strikes up Tiger Rag.
The frenzy starts in all sincerity and usu-
ally lasts three hours.
It is a tradition that has inspired Clem-
son players for many years. Yahoo! Sports
agrees, as it rated it the best entrance in
the nation in 2014.

support.
We have had many people contribute
their time and resources and who have been
tremendously supportive of the university.
That has manifested itself in large season-
ticket bases, incredible passion and a large
number of people involved. Over the past
year, we have grown the brand even further
by expanding the scope of what IPTAY does.
In the last 20 years, college athletics has

to the success of Clemson athletics. As we
recruit against top high school prospects

need to be prepared to offer them the best
possible student-athlete experience.
Because of generous IPTAY donors, the

record total of $60.14 million in 2016-17.

management and oversight of Clemson ath-

CARLOS

KELAIDIS
THE SOPHOMORE IS FOLLOWING
IN HIS FATHERS FOOTSTEPS
WITH THE TIGER TENNIS TEAM.
BY WILL McCARTY

W
hen Greece native Carlos
Kelaidis was looking for a
school to play tennis at in
the United States, his deci-
sion was a little easier than
most foreigners. His father, Nick, was a
tennis player at Clemson from 1968-71.
My father often shared his memo-
ries of Clemson with me, and that had a
big impact on me growing up, said the
younger Kelaidis.
He also added that it was a no-brainer
to come to Clemson, not only because of
his father, but the academics played a
huge role in his decision.
The school offers me a great path,
which sets me up for a strong future.
Even though the coaching staff is
different than it was when his father
played, he still felt an immediate con-
nection with head coach John Boetsch
and assistant coach Ryan Young. Clem-
son tennis has a rich tradition, and Ke-
laidis said it is an honor to play for such
a historic program like Clemson.
Kelaidis father was a big part of that
rich history as well. Nick had the teams
most doubles wins in 1968, 1969 and
1970, finishing with an impressive 17-3
overall record in 1970. He was named
All-ACC in 1969, 1970 and 1971.
The 1969 squad had a perfect record
in winning the ACC. Nick finished his
Clemson career with an impressive 51-
28 record in singles and 58-18 mark in
doubles. His 76.3 winning percentage in
doubles is fifth best in school history and
is the best by a Tiger during the last 46
years.
Academically, Nick laid a strong
foundation as well being named to the
All-ACC Academic Team all four years he
was on campus. Carlos said his fathers
success made him feel like he needed to
live up to high standards and make his
father proud by surpassing his achieve-
ments.
I cant hide from my dads accom-
plishments because they are on the wall
in our (Clemson) tennis center, so I have
to see them every day. But that moti-
vates me day in and day out, and I hope
one day my name can be next to his.
The lessons the elder Kelaidis taught
his son have helped shape Carlos into
the player he is today.
He helped me understand that life
is more complete with tennis and that
it will help open doors for the future,
stated Carlos. Tennis also prepares me
to face adversity in life because I face
adversity every day on the court.
The lessons on the court taught by his
father are also lessons that have been
taught off the court.
Just like when his father played at
Clemson, the ACC is a competitive force
when it comes to tennis. Carlos under-
stands that.
Playing in the ACC means I get to
compete against the top players, and
they raise my level of play. This is not a
conference where you will ever have an
easy match. Every week is a battle, and
that forces me to raise my level and it
brings out my best game.
Kelaidis has one season under his
belt and understands what it takes to
succeed at this level.
Before I am done, Id like to be play-
ing No. 1, and while achieving that, Id
also like to be top 20 in the nation, be
an All-American and an All-ACC player
as well.
And those are goals that were the
same his father had many years ago.

FERNANDA

NAVARRO
THE JUNIOR TENNIS STANDOUT HAS
FALLEN IN LOVE WITH THE COLLEGE
EXPERIENCE AND THE CLEMSON FAMILY.
BY ELAINE DAY

F
or Fernanda Navarro, tennis has
always been a family affair. The
Guadalajara, Mexico native got
into the sport thanks to her fa-
ther, who is a club tennis coach.
He saw her potential from a young age,
and with his early training, her career
took off. After playing with his club, she
moved to state and national tournaments
before beginning a two-year stint of play-
ing international tournaments.
And it was while she was playing in
a tournament in Belgium that she heard
about starting a journey with a new ten-
nis family...the Clemson family.
Our assistant coach at the time was
Mexican, and she saw that I was playing
in the national tournament in Belgium,
so she went there and saw me play, re-
membered Navarro.
She told me about Clemson, and I
visited and fell in love with it. I loved ev-
erything. The campus is really nice, and
I loved the lake and how full of nature it
is. The people are really nice, too, and
the facilities and all the support we have
for sports are amazing.
While she initially wasnt sure she
wanted to attend college, it has been the
perfect fit for Navarro, because she has
still been able to play tennis at a high
level while enjoying the experience of
having a team family, something she was
missing playing individual tournaments
overseas.
The competition is high level here,
she said. Also, I definitely like having
the team aspect that we have in college.
I like having the teams support and hav-
ing your coaches to go talk to, as well as
all the people who come out and support
you.
But the family aspect is not the only
thing that Navarro has come to appreci-
ate from her time as a Tiger, as she is
excited to put her degree in language
(french) & international trade to use
after her tennis career is over. She be-
lieves that that career is only going to be
lengthened because of the skills she has
honed at Clemson.
At first, I didnt want to come. I
didnt think college was for me, and I
just wanted to keep playing tennis. But
I gave it a chance and came here, and I
loved it.
This is something that everyone
should look for. Some tennis players
are like I was and think that coming to
college is a waste of time, but its abso-
lutely not.
Its totally the opposite. You can
earn your college degree and you get so
much more out of it because of the great
coaches and staff. You learn so much
more from life being in college than
playing individual tournaments at the
professional level. Its totally worth it to
come here.
So worth it, it feels like a dream.
I want to tell the Clemson family
that theyre awesome, added Navarro.
I love it. I want to thank them for ev-
erything they do for us and the program.
They make the experience really good. I
think this is the best experience Ive ever
had in my life.
Im living a good life right now. This
is like a dream. It can be hard, but my
Clemson family makes it easier.

 CLEMSON VS. FLORIDA STATE

RIVALRY
THE ANNUAL ACC ATLANTIC DIVISION SHOWDOWN BETWEEN THE TIGERS AND SEMINOLES
HAS HELPED DETERMINE CONFERENCE AND NATIONAL CHAMPIONS NUMEROUS TIMES.
BY TIM BOURRET

W
hen you look at the great
rivalries Clemson has had
in its history, you would
have to say the rivalry with
Florida State is in its ado-
lescence. The Tigers history with South
Carolina dates to 1896, the series with
Georgia to 1897 and Georgia Tech to
1898.
However, the Tigers and Seminoles
did not begin playing football until
1970, and there were only three games
played before 1988. Florida State won
two of the first three matchups, and the
games were played in virtual obscurity,
as Clemson was in the middle of a losing
season in all three of those contests and
Florida State had a losing record enter-
ing two of them.
But the 1988 and 1989 games
changed everything. Those games and
many more since have made the con-
tests between the Seminoles and Tigers
must-see TV for college football fans
around the nation.
Since 1988, 12 times both teams
have been ranked in the top 25 enter-
ing the game. Many times, the national
title has been on the line, and the winner
of this game has won the ACC Atlantic
Division each year since 2009. The win-
ner of this game has also been the ACC

1999
champion every year since 2011.
That 1988 matchup certainly put the IN THE FIRST-EVER FOOTBALL GAME

noon at Death Valley, Clemson entered
the game ranked No. 3 in the nation
and Florida State was ranked No. 10.
The Seminoles were the preseason No.
1 team, but they lost the season opener
31-0 to rival Miami (Fla.).
This 1988 game was a meeting of
College Football Hall of Fame coaches,
as Danny Ford met Bobby Bowden.
Clemson jumped out to a 7-0 lead in the
first quarter when wide receiver Chip Da-
vis threw a 61-yard touchdown pass to
Gary Cooper. That would be just the first
trick play of this contest.
Clemson held the upper hand un-
til Deion Sanders turned the game in
Florida States favor with a 76-yard punt
return for a touchdown. It would be the
only punt return for a touchdown on a
Chris Gardocki punt in his career, col-
lege or professional.
The Tigers tied the score 21-21 on a
Tracy Johnson touchdown run with 2:32
remaining in the fourth quarter. Clemson
then forced the Seminoles to punt from

23, 1999. While Clemson was just 3-3
(and finished 6-6), the anticipation for
this father-son matchup was amazing.
For the only time I can remember,
we actually did a teleconference for this
game 10 days prior with Tommy Bowden
and his mother, Anne. We had over 25
national media members on the call.
The atmosphere was electric during
pregame. I will always remember Bobby
Bowden coming up to me on the field
prior to the game and saying, Isnt this
great? I remember how refreshing it
Clemson won four of five games in the
series from 2003-07, including three in
a row from 2005-07, the first ACC team
to beat Florida State three times in a
row. The 2006 victory was also Clem-
sons first in Tallahassee since 1989.
The Tigers win in 2009 at Death Val-
ley featured the heroics of C.J. Spiller,
who played most of the game with a toe
injury. The unanimous All-American had
165 rushing yards, 67 receiving yards
and 312 all-purpose yards in a 40-24
win that was a key to Clemson winning
its first ACC Atlantic Division title.
In recent years, the matchup between
the Tigers and Seminoles has taken on

wait for Sundays to watch De-

Texans light up the scoreboard.
Watsons favorite wide receiver
was former Clemson All-American De-

had seven receiving touchdowns from
Watson at midseason.
As a Notre Dame graduate who has
worked at Clemson for 40 years, that

Then in 1978 at Clemson, I did the

Clark had 508 receptions for 6,750
yards and 48 touchdowns in nine years.
Almost all of them came from Montana.
Clark came to Clemson from Char-

recruiting classes in Tiger history. That
class included Joe Bostic, Jerry Butler,
Steve Fuller and Steve Kenney, all of
whom joined Clark as Tigers who went
on to play at least nine years in the NFL.
They were starters in the league for most
of those years.

CROSS COUNTRY // SOPHOMORE // INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING // INMAN, S.C.

Logan Morris didnt have to travel far to find her college home. The Inman, S.C., native chose Clemson for its beautiful
campus and friendly, loving people. She was also impressed by the renovated indoor track facility and performances by
athletes like Grace Barnett, and by the talented and experienced coaches. She knew she could find her fit at Clemson.
The cross country runner and engineering major also feels right at home in the classroom. She enjoys her engineering
classes because they focus on problem solving, I like the challenge of finding new solutions to problems, and it is
interesting to see the other solutions and methods my classmates chose. She plans to some day get her masters
degree and find a job that incorporates both her passion for helping people and industrial engineering.
Morris' favorite moment as a Clemson student-athlete took place at the ACC Cross Country Championship this past fall.
She recalls, It was a true picture of teamwork as we each did our part that day to finish at one of the highest team
placements in Clemson cross country history.
Morris is living the student-athlete dream, and she gives thanks to support from IPTAY. Student-athletes at Clemson
are treated like professionals. We have so many resources that keep us fit, healthy and improving. IPTAY has allowed our
team to continue to get better. I have learned more about nutrition, strength and conditioning, life skills and community
service. On top of that, I am given the opportunity to compete in a sport I love at the Division I level for the best University
in the nation!

In recent years, IPTAY has taken on funding additional components of the athletic enterprise in addition to the growing costs of scholarships

that IPTAY members as they have in the organizations storied history, will make the commitment to participate in this 110% campaign in
their support of the Clemson Tigers!

Athletic Scholarships: Each year, IPTAY is responsible for fully funding the entire athletic scholarship bill to the
university. In just the past ten years, scholarship costs for student-athletes have risen by 84 percent.

Facilities: In recent years, IPTAY and Clemson athletics have focused on the future of the program from a
facility perspective. To date, many facilities have been constructed, renovated or have future plans including
the recent completion of the Allen N. Reeves Football Complex and the rebuild of Littlejohn Coliseum.

Academic Support: The newly renovated WestZone is now home to the Nieri Family Student-Athlete Enrichment
Center. At IPTAY, it is a top priority to prepare these young men and women for life after Clemson and in just 10
short years the cost of academic support operations has grown by 57 percent.

Strength & Conditioning: To be successful among the elite in the ACC and across
the nation, our strength & conditioning staff use the newest resources & practices to
prepare our student-athletes physically for the rigors they face in competition.

Nutrition Services: To perform in the classroom and in athletic competition at

the highest level our student-athletes bodies must be fueled appropriately. Today
IPTAY now provides funding for the growing nutrition services area.
