2018 SCHEDULE/RESULTSCLEMSON OPENS OCTOBER WITH ROAD DATE AT WAKE FOREST

After completing a perfect 5-0 month of September in thrilling fashion last week, Clemson heads to Winston-Salem, N.C., this week to face the Wake Forest Demon Deacons on Saturday, Oct. 6. Kickoff from BB&T Field is scheduled for 3:30 ET.

Trailing 16-7 at halftime against Syracuse last week, Head Coach Dabo Swinney told Co-Offensive Coordinators Tony Elliott and Jeff Scott that it was time to lean on the team's running game to deliver the win. The team did that, rushing for 293 yards in a 27-23 comeback victory.

“I told Tony and Jeff in the third quarter, 'Boys, we’re going to have to do this the old-fashioned way," Swinney said of the team's commitment to the run in the second half. "And somewhere, Danny Ford and Gene Stallings are probably drinking a beer and celebrating. That was an old-school, old-school way of winning a game."

Clemson has outrushed its opponents in all five contests this season, outgaining its foes on the ground by an average margin of 148 yards per game. Clemson opened the 2017 season by outrushing their opponents in the first six games last year, and the Tigers can match that streak in 2018 by outrushing a sixth consecutive opponent this week.

The dominant rushing attack has been spearheaded by sophomore Travis Etienne, who posted only the 16th 200-yard rushing game in school history with 203 yards against the Orange last week. If he were to repeat the performance with another 200-yard day against Wake Forest, he would become the first player in school history to record back-to-back 200-yard rushing games.

22018 CLEMSON FOOTBALLClemsonTigers.com @ClemsonFB

WHAT TO WATCH FOR THIS WEEK- Clemson attempting to open 6-0 for the fourth straight

season and for the sixth time in the last eight years. - Clemson recording its 14th 6-0 start all-time (1900,

1928, 1929, 1930, 1948, 1981, 1987, 2000, 2011, 2013, 2015, 2016 and 2017). Clemson won conference titles in eight of those previous 13 campaigns.

- Clemson winning its first six games of a season for the sixth time under Head Coach Dabo Swinney (2011, 2013, 2015, 2016, 2017). Clemson's five current 6-0 starts under Swinney are already the most under any head coach in school history (Josh Cody, 3; Danny Ford, 2; Frank Howard, 1; Tommy Bowden, 1; John Heisman, 1)

- Clemson improving to 66-17-1 all-time against Wake Forest. Clemson's current 65 all-time wins against Wake Forest are their second most against any opponent in school history, trailing the Tigers' 69 wins against South Carolina.

- Clemson winning their 10th consecutive game against Wake Forest, dating back to 2009. It would mark Clemson's third 10-game winning streak in series history, including a 15-game streak from 1977-91 and a 10-game streak covering the 1950-60 seasons. Clemson's current nine-game winning streak against Wake Forest is the Tigers' longest active winning streak against any FBS foe.

- Clemson winning a 10th straight game against Wake Forest to give the program four active double-digit winning streaks against opponents and its first such active streak against an FBS program. Clemson has a 31-game active winning streak against Furman (dating back to 1938), a 17-game streak against The Citadel (1932) and a 15-game streak against Presbyterian (1944).

- Clemson earning a fifth straight road win at Wake Forest to tie for the second-longest road winning streak against the Demon Deacons (five, 1978-90) in series history.

- Clemson improving to 25-10-1 in games at Wake Forest. With a win, Wake Forest would represent one of two road venues in which Clemson has won 25 games all-time (51 wins at South Carolina).

- Clemson improving to 21-4 under Head Coach Dabo Swinney when entering a game ranked lower in the AP Poll than it was in its previous contest. A win would be Clemson's 13th straight when entering ranked lower in the AP Poll than in its previous game.

- Clemson winning the 24th of its last 25 games against ACC Atlantic Division opponents.

- Clemson defeating an ACC foe for the 30th time in its last 32 opportunities, including conference championship games, dating back to 2015.

- Clemson securing its 17th victory in its last 18 true road games.

- Clemson earning its 24th victory in its last 27 games away from home, including neutral site contests.

- Clemson extending its winning streak in Saturday games to 22 to set the longest Saturday winning streak in school history, surpassing the mark of 21 from the 2014-16 campaigns. The current 21-game streak is the longest of any school in the country.

- Head Coach Dabo Swinney improving to 10-0 as a head coach against Wake Forest. Wake Forest is one of five ACC schools against which Swinney is undefeated as head coach, a list that also includes Duke (2-0), Louisville (4-0), Virginia (3-0) and Virginia Tech (5-0).

- Clemson forcing a takeaway in a 14th consecutive contest, which would be the program's longest streak since a 15-game stretch across the 2012-13 seasons.

- Clemson rushing for 200 yards in a fourth consecutive game for the first time since games 7-10 of the 2015 season against Miami, NC State, Florida State and Syracuse. That four-game stretch marks the program's

second highest victory total against any opponent (69 wins vs. South Carolina). Clemson has a 55-9-1 lead in the series since the formation of the ACC in 1953, a .854 winning percentage.

Clemson has played Wake Forest in football 65 consecutive years, as the last year the two schools did not play was 1952. Only South Carolina has a longer string of consecutive seasons played against the Tigers.

Clemson has a 24-10-1 lead in the series in games played at Wake Forest, including 16-6-1 in games played

at Groves Stadium. Clemson is 37-7 against Wake Forest in games played in Clemson and is 32-7 in Death Valley in the series, which dates to a 13-0 Clemson win in Charlotte in the teams' first meeting in 1933.

Clemson has won nine in a row in the series, all under Head Coach Dabo Swinney, by a combined score of 327-121. That represents an average victory margin of 22.9, and Clemson has scored at least 28 points in all nine games. The Tigers won last year by a 28-14 score and 35-13 the last time the two teams met at Wake Forest.

This will be the eighth straight year that Wake Forest has faced a Top 20 Clemson team, including four years in a row facing a Top 5 Clemson squad.

STREAKIN' AGAINST THE DEACONSClemson enters this year's game against Wake Forest in

search of its 10th consecutive victory against the Demon Deacons. Clemson's nine-game winning streak is its longest active winning streak against any FBS foe.

The Tigers have produced 10-game winning streaks against opponents six times in school history. Clemson already extended its longest single-opponent winning streak in school history in its 2018 season opener, defeating Furman for a 31st consecutive time.

Wake Forest is the only opponent against whom Clemson has recorded multiple winning streaks of 10-plus games, posting a 15-game winning streak against the Demon Deacons from 1977-91 as well as a 10-game streak from 1940-50. A win Saturday would give Clemson its third all-time 10-game streak against Wake Forest in comparison to a combined four 10-game streaks against all other opponents (Furman, Virginia, The Citadel and Presbyterian.

SERIES MEMORIES- In 2011, the Tigers won 31-28 on a 43-yard field goal

by Chandler Catanzaro on the last play of the game. That gave the Tigers the Atlantic Division title, and Clemson went on to win its first ACC title in 20 years.

- Clemson won the 2006 game at Wake Forest, 27-17. The late Gaines Adams had a game-changing 66-yard fumble return on a botched field goal attempt in the

fourth quarter to cut the Demon Deacons' lead to 17-10. The Tigers scored 24 points in the fourth period to gain the victory against the eventual ACC champions.

- Clemson had a 7-3 record against Wake Forest under Tommy Bowden, but five of the seven Clemson wins were decided by 10 points or less.

- The two teams have played at three neutral sites games over the years, including Tokyo, Japan. Clemson won that game in 1982 by a 21-17 score to close out an ACC Championship season.

- Clemson defeated Wake Forest on Halloween in 1981 by an 82-24 score. That was the highest scoring ACC game in Clemson history until 2012 when NC State and Clemson combined for 110 points in a 62-48 Clemson win. Clemson was 12-12 on third down in that game and gained 756 yards of total offense, including 536 on the ground, still school records for the modern era.

FRANK AND PEAHEADOnly one coach in history — Wake Forest's Peahead

Walker — won as many as four games against Clemson without a loss in Death Valley. Frank Howard and Walker had a close friendship, but Peahead had a 4-0 record against Howard in Death Valley.

Walker fielded some tough teams, but lost five in a row to the Tigers (1937-41), including his first two outings against Frank Howard, 39-0 and 29-0, after Jess Neely's departure to Rice in 1940.

Peahead's response was to win six in a row against Howard (1942-47), knocking No. 16-ranked Clemson out of a likely AP Top 20 finish in 1945 with a season-ending 13-6 victory. Even if Peahead conceded that three of his wins (1942-44) were during Howard's depleted "war years," he still held a 3-2 edge over his soon-to-be comedic partner on the gridiron speaking circuit.

In the final three years of the Howard-Walker rivalry (1948-50), both the Tigers and Deacons were at their strongest. In going undefeated in both 1948 and 1950, Clemson faced only one Top 20 team in regular season play each year: Peahead's No. 19 Wake Forest in 1948 and his No. 17 Deacs in 1950, both on the road. Howard's 21-14 and 13-12 wins, respectively, enabled his Tigers to finish No. 11 and No. 10 in the nation; Peahead's 1948 Deacons settled for a No. 20 national ranking.

LAST MEETING VS. WAKE FORESTClemson 28, Wake Forest 14(Oct. 7, 2017 at Clemson, S.C.)Second-ranked Clemson continued its undefeated start

to the 2017 season with a 28-14 win on homecoming against Wake Forest.

Clemson played three quarterbacks in the contest and combined for 263 passing yards. Clemson raced out to a 28-0 lead before Wake Forest scored the last two touchdowns of the game inside the last nine minutes.

Kelly Bryant completed 21-29 passes for 200 yards and a score and added another 39 yards rushing on 12 attempts. Hunter Johnson completed 5-5 passes for 42 yards, including a 13-yard scoring pass to Cannon Smith, Smith's first career touchdown.

Austin Bryant led the defense with eight tackles, including 2.5 tackles for loss, while Tanner Muse had eight stops as well.

Clemson scored on the opening drive of the game as Bryant hit Deon Cain with a 28-yard scoring strike to complete a seven-play, 75-yard drive. Six minutes later Clemson found the end zone again as Adam Choice scored on a four-yard run to complete a 12-play, 76-yard drive.

Clemson took a 21-0 lead when Travis Etienne scored on a one-yard run, then Johnson connected with Smith early in the fourth period. Etienne finished with 67 yards

POSTGAME NOTES VS. SYRACUSE- Clemson engineered a 13-play, 94-yard drive that

culminated in a game-winning touchdown with 41 seconds remaining. It represents the longest game-winning scoring drive by Clemson to take the lead in the final minute of a game in records dating back to 1958.

- Clemson rushed for at least 200 yards in a third consecutive game for the first time since games 8-10 of the 2017 season against Georgia Tech, NC State and Florida State.

- Syracuse rushed for a one-yard touchdown with 7:31 remaining in the second quarter, marking the first first-

NOTEShalf touchdown allowed by Clemson at Memorial Stadium since Nov. 12, 2016 vs. Pittsburgh. Clemson went 686 days between first-half touchdowns allowed at Death Valley, covering 309:52 of game play.

- Tackle Mitch Hyatt made his 47th career start to tie OG Eric Harmon, OT Jim Bundren, OG Glenn Rountree and PK Aaron Hunt (47) for fourth-most career starts in Clemson history.

- During the contest, Hyatt passed No. 3 Kyle Young (3,097) and No. 2 Landon Walker (3,131) on the school's all-time leaderboard for career snaps from scrimmage.

- Linebacker Kendall Joseph matched a career high with 12 total tackles.

- The game marked only the fourth time in Memorial Stadium history that two undefeated teams had met four or more games into a season. Clemson is now 3-1 in such contests, including wins against previously undefeated NC State in 2000 and Louisville in 2016.

- Clemson’s captains for the contest were defensive end Clelin Ferrell, tackle Mitch Hyatt, wide receiver Trevion Thompson and defensive tackle Christian Wilkins.

sixth time under head coach Dabo Swinney (2011, 2013, 2015, 2016, 2017). Clemson's five previous 5-0 starts under Swinney were 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).

- The four consecutive 5-0 starts represent the most consecutive 5-0 starts in team history, surpassing a three-year streak from 1928-30.

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

- Clemson won the 23rd of its last 24 games against ACC Atlantic Division opponents. Clemson has won 27 of its last 29 games against all ACC foes.

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

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

- Clemson won its 11th consecutive game at Memorial Stadium, dating back to a 56-7 win against South Carolina on Nov. 25, 2016. The current 11-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 has now won 32 of its last 33 home games.

-- 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.

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 Wake Forest with an overall record of 106-30 for a .779 winning percentage.

With last week's 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 .779 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). With a win on Saturday, 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 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.

As far as total top-25 rankings since 2011, Clemson has appeared in 113 of a possible 120 polls (94.2 percent). That is the third-most in the nation, trailing only Alabama (120) and Oklahoma (116).

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.

This week, Clemson will attempt to respond similarly at Wake Forest after dropping from No. 3 to No. 4 this week. Under Swinney, Clemson is 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.

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.

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.

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 Wake Forest

having won each of its last 21 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 693 days prior to this week's contest against Wake Forest, for Clemson's most recent loss on a Saturday.

Clemson's 21-game Saturday winning streak is the longest active streak among Power Five schools.

In total, Clemson has won 42 of its last 43 Saturday games, including last week's victory vs. Syracuse. The Tigers' current 21-game streak started following a 2016 loss to Pitt that was preceded by a 21-game Saturday winning streak across the 2014-16 seasons, tied for the longest such streak in program history.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In his debut year, Etienne averaged 7.16 yards per carry on 107 attempts, the fourth-best rushing average in school history and the most by a Clemson freshman since C.J. Spiller in 2006.

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

Etienne's efficiency has carried into his sophomore season in 2018. He enters this week ranked second in the country — and first in the Power Five — in yards-per-carry average among players with at least 10 carries per game this season.

In the third game of the 2018 season against Georgia Southern, Etienne reached the 1,000-yard mark for his


NOTEScareer 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 7.56-yard average, he would shatter the school's record for career rushing average of 5.92, set by Jackie Calvert from 1948-50. Sitting behind Etienne is his current backfield colleague, Tavien Feaster, who reached the 1,000-yard mark in the fourth game of 2018.

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 33 consecutive games in which he appeared. (Note: Renfrow missed four games in 2016 with a hand injury). Renfrow's 33-game streak is currently tied for the fourth-longest active streak in the FBS.

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.

-- SPECIAL TEAMS SPOTLIGHT --

#3 AMARI RODGERSClemson entered the 2018 season looking to replace

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

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

Through five games, Rodgers ranks No. 4 in the ACC in punt return average.

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

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

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

GAME STATS

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

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

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

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

GAME STATS

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.

The Tigers scored the only points of the first quarter when Clelin Ferrell recovered a Yellow Jacket fumble in the endzone to give Clemson a 7-0 advantage. The second quarter saw Clemson score three times, with all three coming in the form of passing touchdowns by Lawrence.

Georgia Tech got on the board with just two minutes left in the opening half on an 11-yard rush by TaQuon Marshall. However, Clemson quickly got the score back on its third touchdown of the quarter, a three-yard pass from Lawrence to Travis Etienne, who pushed his way into the endzone in the final seconds of the half to bring the score to 28-7 at the break.

Clemson scored three times during the second half, with two coming courtesy of Tavien Feaster and Etienne on the ground, and the third when Tee Higgins hauled in a 30-yard scoring pass from Lawrence.

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.
