2018 SCHEDULE/RESULTSCLEMSON HOSTS SYRACUSE ON HALL OF FAME DAY AT MEMORIAL STADIUM

Clemson returns to Death Valley for its first home game of conference play on Saturday, Sept. 29 when the Tigers play host to the Syracuse Orange. Kickoff from Memorial Stadium is scheduled for noon ET.

Last week, Clemson opened ACC play with a 49-21 road win against Georgia Tech. The victory was a team win in nearly every conceivable sense of the term, as all 72 players that dressed earned playing time in the contest.

On offense, Clemson's balance was on display, as Clemson both rushed and passed for more than 200 yards on the day. The Tigers averaged 7.3 yards per play and have now averaged 7.0 or more yards per play in four straight games for the first time in records available dating back to 1938.

Defensively, the Tigers held Georgia Tech's offense to 146 rushing yards, 247 yards below the Yellow Jackets' FBS-leading 393-yard average entering the contest. Clemson enters this week ranked No. 4 in the country in total defense (251.8 yards per game) and ranks in the Top 20 in passing defense (No. 8, 143.8), rushing defense (No. 18, 103.5) and scoring defense (No. 16, 15.3 points per game).

Saturday's game has been designated as Hall of Fame Day, as the Clemson University Block C Club will induct 10 members into the school’s athletic Hall of Fame. The organization has honored former student-athletes, coaches and administrators since 1973 when Frank Howard, Banks McFadden, Joe Blalock, Fred Cone, and Billy O’Dell were inducted as charter members. For more information on this year's inductees, see 3.

22018 CLEMSON FOOTBALLClemsonTigers.com @ClemsonFB

WHAT TO WATCH FOR THIS WEEK- Clemson attempting to open 5-0 for the fourth

straight season and for the sixth time in the last eight years.

- Clemson winning its first five games of a season for the sixth time under Head Coach Dabo Swinney (2011, 2013, 2015, 2016, 2017). Clemson's five 5-0 starts under Swinney are already the most under any head coach in school history (Josh Cody, 3; Frank Howard, 2; Danny Ford, 2; Tommy Bowden, 1; John Heisman, 1)

- Clemson winning its first ACC home game of the season for an eighth consecutive year. Clemson has won every ACC home opener dating back to 2011. An eighth straight victory by Clemson in its ACC home opener would match the longest streak in program history, set across the 1964-71 seasons under head coaches Frank Howard and Cecil Ingram.

- Clemson winning the 23rd of its last 24 games against ACC Atlantic Division opponents.

- Clemson improving to 5-2 all-time against Syracuse, including a 3-0 record in games played at Clemson.

- Clemson winning its 11th consecutive game at Memorial Stadium, dating back to a 56-7 win against South Carolina on Nov. 25, 2016. The current 10-game streak is Clemson's third-longest home winning streak in Dabo Swinney’s tenure as head coach (21 from 2013-16, 13 from 2011-12).

- Clemson defeating an ACC foe for the 29th time in its last 31 opportunities, including conference championship games, dating back to 2015.

- Clemson improving to 35-4 in ACC contests at Memorial Stadium under Head Coach Dabo Swinney.

- Clemson winning its fifth game in the month of September. It would be the seventh time in program history that the Tigers have won five games in a single month (October 1977, October 1981, November 1991, September 2000, October 2015 and September 2017).

- Clemson extending its winning streak in Saturday games to 21 to tie the longest Saturday winning streak in school history from the 2014-16 campaigns. The current 20-game streak is the longest of any Power Five school in the country.

- Clemson winning its 18th consecutive game in the month of September, dating back to 2014. The current streak is already the longest in school history.

- Clemson recording at least three sacks in a fifth straight game for the first time since a nine-game stretch spanning the second through 10th games of the 2014 season.

- Clemson forcing a takeaway in a 13th consecutive contest, which would be the program's longest streak since a 15-game stretch across the 2012-13 seasons.

- Clemson attempting to hold their opponents without a first-half touchdown for the eighth time in the last 10 games.

- Clemson holding opponents out of the end zone in the first half of an 11th consecutive home game. Clemson has not allowed a first-half touchdown at Memorial Stadium since Nov. 12, 2016 against Pittsburgh.

- Clemson reaching 40 points in consecutive games for the first time since the South Carolina and Virginia Tech games in 2016.

- Clemson scoring 38 or more points in three straight games for the first time since the final game of the 2014 season and the first two games of the 2015 season. It would be the school's first time doing so in a single season since a four-game streak in games 8-11 of the 2013 season.

- Clemson rushing for 200 yards in a third consecutive game for the first time since games 8-10

-- THE ACC COMES TO CLEMSON --

FIRST CONFERENCE HOME GAMEAfter opening conference play against Georgia Tech

in Atlanta last week, Clemson will return to Memorial Stadium for its first home ACC game of the season on Saturday.

Since joining the ACC in 1953, Clemson is 45-18-1 in its first ACC home game of each season. Interestingly, despite having competed in the ACC for 65 years prior to 2018, Clemson has only hosted ACC teams in 64 of those campaigns. In the league's second year in 1954, Clemson played all three of its conference games away from home, including road games at South Carolina and at Maryland and a neutral site contest against Wake Forest in Charlotte.

Clemson will be seeking its eighth consecutive victory in the first home game of conference play. The last time Clemson dropped its first home ACC contest was in 2010, the last year prior to Clemson's current stretch of seven consecutive 10-win seasons.

An eighth consecutive victory would tie the program's longest streak of wins in the first home game of ACC play, matching the mark set from 1964-71.

-- ON THE OPPONENT --

SERIES HISTORY VS. SYRACUSEThis is just the seventh meeting between Clemson

and Syracuse. The Orange won the first meeting at the 1996 Gator Bowl in Jacksonville following the 1995 season by a 41-0 score. Clemson was ranked 23rd entering the game and was coming off a five-game winning streak to close the season. Syracuse was unranked going into the game, but jumped to 17th in the final USA Today poll with the win quarterbacked by Donovan McNabb.

Since Syracuse joined the ACC in 2013, Clemson has won four of the five meetings. The Tigers had won four in a row by at least double digits before Syracuse ended the streak with a 27-24 Friday night win over the Tigers at Syracuse.

This will be the seventh consecutive game Clemson has been ranked in the top 25 entering a game with Syracuse. In two previous games in Death Valley, Clemson has outscored Syracuse, 70-16.

In 2013, Clemson, ranked third in the AP poll entering the game, won at Syracuse by a 49-14 score behind the passing combination of Tajh Boyd and Sammy Watkins. Boyd threw for a then Clemson record 455 yards and five touchdown passes, while Watkins had four catches for 126 yards, including a 91-yard score from Boyd. Clemson led 35-7 at halftime. Clemson finished the game with 624 yards of total offense and averaged 8.1 yards per play in Syracuse's

first ACC game. In 2014 at Memorial Stadium on Clemson’s

homecoming, the Tigers won, 16-6. It was Syracuse’s first appearance in Memorial Stadium. Clemson’s No 1 ranked defense held the Orange to just 10 first downs, 88 yards rushing and 82 yards passing for 170 total in just 62 plays, a 2.7 average. Clemson had 23 first downs, 166 yards rushing and 209 passing.

Wayne Gallman was a workhorse for Clemson with 28 carries for 101 yards, while C.J. Davidson added 9-38. Cole Stoudt was 24-35 passing for 209 yards and a touchdown.

-- BEST IS THE STANDARD --

TIGERS HUNTING FOUR IN A ROWClemson has won three straight ACC championships,

joining Oklahoma as one of just two Power Five Conference schools to have an active streak of three consecutive conference championships.

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

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

CHASING 100Head Coach Dabo Swinney can vividly recall the

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

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

Included below are the schools that have accomplished that feat:

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

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

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

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

WINS AGAINST TOP 25 FINISHERSWhile wins against teams ranked in the Top 25

carry 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.

SWINNEY CLOSING IN ON TWO LEGENDSHead Coach Dabo Swinney has closed in on coaching

accomplishments of two college football legends. Swinney enters Saturday’s game against Syracuse with an overall record of 105-30 for a .778 winning percentage.

With one more win, Swinney can pass 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 .778 winning percentage is 22nd best in Division I history among coaches with a minimum of 10 years experience. Just ahead of him in 21st place is Bear Bryant, who had a .780 winning percentage (323-85-17). If Clemson were to open the season 6-0, Swinney would improve his career record to 107-30 and push his winning percentage to .781.

-- 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


NOTESof 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.

As far as total top-25 rankings since 2011, Clemson has appeared in 112 of a possible 119 polls (94.1 percent). That is the third-most in the nation, trailing only Alabama (119) and Oklahoma (115).

WHEN IN DOUBT, CLEMSON RESPONDSClemson 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. However, in Head Coach Dabo Swinney's tenure, the Tigers have routinely responded well following dips in the AP rankings.

Clemson responded to that most recent drop with a 28-point road win at Georgia Tech. Under Swinney, Clemson is now 20-4 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 12 games when entering ranked lower in the AP Poll than in its previous game.

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 27 games with a final margin of eight points or less, and Clemson's 85.2 winning percentage in those one-possession contests is the best in the country in that span.

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.

The difference is particularly pronounced in the passing game, where Clemson has eight passing plays for 40 yards or more this season after posting only 11 during the entire 14-game season in 2017.

Clemson's explosiveness has helped put the 2018 squad in the Top 15 in the nation in yards per play and on pace for a school record in that category.

NOTESYOUTH MOVEMENT

Clemson 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.

Clemson's 13 true freshmen to appear in game action this season are the second-most in a year since 1982.

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

having won each of its last 20 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 686 days prior to this week's contest against Syracuse, for Clemson's most recent loss on a Saturday.

Clemson's 20-game Saturday winning streak is the longest active streak among Power Five schools.

In total, Clemson has won 41 of its last 42 Saturday games, including last week's victory vs. Georgia Tech. The Tigers' current 20-game streak started following a 2016 loss to Pitt that was preceded by a 21-game Saturday winning streak across the 2014-16 seasons. That 21-game streak in that stretch was the longest Saturday winning streak in school history.

Clemson's defensive efforts in the first half have been particularly pronounced at home. Clemson has not allowed a first-half touchdown at Memorial Stadium since Nov. 12, 2016 against Pittsburgh, a streak of 10 consecutive home games.

-- 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.

Clemson's 17 graduates were among the most on any FBS roster as of Sept. 4.

Over the last seven years Clemson has finished in the top 10 percent in APR scores among FBS teams and in the top 25 of the final polls six times.

That includes the 2017-18 academic year when Clemson finished fourth on the field in the polls and fifth in APR score with a 987. It was the first time a

College Football Playoff team has finished in the top five of the APR.

Last year marked the third time in the last six years that Clemson finished in the top 10 of APR and the top 10 on the field in at least one of the polls.

-- 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.

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 7.59-yard average, he would shatter the school's record for career rushing average of 5.92, set by Jackie Calvert from 1948-50.

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.

#3 AMARI RODGERSClemson entered the 2018 season looking to replace

primary 2017 punt returner Ray-Ray McCloud, who ranked seventh in the FBS in punt return average (12.1) a season ago.

GAME STATS

CLEMSON, S.C. — No. 2 Clemson opened its 2018 campaign in dominant fashion, defeating the Furman Paladins by a score of 48-7 at Memorial Stadium.

Offensively, the Tigers amassed 531 yards, leading a balanced attack that eclipsed 250 passing yards and 250 rushing yards on the day. On the defensive side of the ball, the Tigers limited the Paladins to just 2.6 yards per play and 163 total yards.

The Tigers opened the scoring midway through the first quarter on a Kelly Bryant 40-yard touchdown pass to Amari Rodgers, marking the first career score for the sophomore wideout. Bryant would later add a 35-yard rushing touchdown as well, while Rodgers would finish the contest with a career-high 141 all-purpose yards, including 87 yards on two punt returns.

Freshman quarterback Trevor Lawrence threw three touchdown passes in his debut, hitting Diondre Over-ton, Justyn Ross and Braden Galloway for touchdowns in the second, third and fourth quarters, respectively.

Clemson's shutout bid was denied with just over a minute remaining in the game, when Furman scored on a 16-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Darren Grainger to Ryan DeLuca.

Clemson kicker Greg Huegel recorded 11 points in his return from a knee injury, connecting on two field goals (including a career-high-tying 49-yarder) and five of the team's six PATs on the day.

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.

Offensively, Clemson was powered by Trevor Law-rence and his receiving corps, as the freshman quar-terback completed 13-18 passes for 176 yards and four touchdowns to four different receivers. The Tiger defense did not allow a Yellow Jacket pass completion until late in the third quarter.
