BY: HENRY HUTTON, CONTRIBUTOR DEFENSE REALLY DOES WIN FOOTDALL DAMES.

For Clemson fans over the last few years, the offense has been one of the strongest in the nation and the Tigers usually won by outscoring their opponents. However, 2014 showed that a strong defense can be just as exciting and successful. One of the most entertaining finishes in recent Clemson history came when the defense stopped Louisville at the goal line in the final seconds of the game. As electrifying as the offense may have been against South Carolina, some of the most exciting (and most significant) moments of the game were the multiple fourth down stops, including one on the goal line, to prevent any comeback efforts. Clemson fans got a surprisingly fun change of pace as they watched the nations best defense dominate opponents. DESHAUN WATSON AND MACKENSIE ALEXANDER MAY DE THE REST PLAYERS AT THEIR POSITION IN 2015.

Although his playing time was restricted by multiple injuries, Deshaun Watson was one of the best quarterbacks in college football last year. Even though Watson did not play enough to qualify for national rankings, his total quarterback rating at the end of the year was second only to Heisman winner Marcus Mariota. With another offseason under his belt, a hopefully healthy season, and a much improved offensive line, Watson could also have a Heisman quality season. In the secondary, the Tigers were led by redshirt freshman Mackensie Alexander. In his debut season, Alexander shut down some of the best receivers in the conference and proved his worth as one of the most highly recruited defensive players in his class. With other veterans graduating, Alexander will be the leader of the defense and may be the best corner in the nation next year. VIC REASLEY DESERVES TO RE CLEMSON'S SECOND CONSECUTIVE TOP 10 PICK.

Everyone has seen over the past two years that Vic Beasley was one of the most talented and athletic defensive ends in the nation. However, this year proved Beasley s versatility as he lost- some weight and proved his skill in more than just the pass rush in preparation for his likely move to linebacker once he is in the NFL. Like Sammy Watkins last season, Beasley set program records in his final season and appears to most to be an NFL ready prospect who could contribute immediately to most squads. Although mock drafts are very tricky and often unreliable, many foresee Beasley drafted in the top five, another similarity he could share with Watkins. However, it would be inconceivable that an overall talent as solid as Vic could drop outside the top 10. DRENT VENARLES MIGHT RE INSANE, RUT HE SURE CAN COACH.

We all laughed as ESPN spent at least 10 minutes of coverage showing Brent Venables being pulled back off the field on every play late in the game. The defensive coordinator, although at times excessively passionate, did an incredible job transforming a defense that just a few short years ago was Clemson's obvious weakness into the nations best overall defense. Although Venables' squad is losing significant talent, most notably Vic Beasley and Stephone Anthony, Tiger fans should not expect much of a drop off next season. In the Russell Athletic Bowl, Ben Boulware proved he has the talent to fill Anthony's absence at middle linebacker. Also, the secondary will remain one of the nation's best, so the Clemson faithful can expect many more years of dominant defense under defensive genius Venables, who was just signed to an extension through 2018. OUR TALENT IS YOUNG AND SOUTH CAROLINA SHOULD DREAD THE u NEXT FIVE YEARS.

The leading passer, rusher and receiver in the South Carolina game were all true freshmen. While this is incredibly promising, it only gets better for Clemson as ESPN ranks the Tigers' 2015 recruiting class as the fourth best in the nation. Two of the big reasons for this are Albert Huggins and Mitch Hyatt, a couple of the best offensive line recruits in the nation who will shore up the weakness which Clemson saw in that area in 2014. With a strong line to protect Watson in the pocket, plus the wealth of returning and incoming talent, the offense will return to the full strength that fans have been accustomed to in the past few years. With the defense to match, the Tigers are poised to establish a strong, long-lasting dynasty in the state and nation.

Though a season wracked with two blowouts in Georgia, missed field goals and seemingly endless offensive futility, 2014 marked Clemson's fourth consecutive 10-win season and ended on a positive note not many could have predicted. Dominating performances over South Carolina and Oklahoma have the buzz around this program as high as it's ever been. The leading passer, runner and receiver in the South Carolina game were all true freshmen and all looked as though they could potentially be future All-Americans (or Heisman winners in Watson's case). Although the nation's best defense will lose some key parts, the depth and experience waiting in the wings will not allow for much drop off come next fall. We may see one of the most all around talented teams in Clemson history next year, and it is certain that we have a lot to look forward to.

TimeOut edito TOP TEN ALBUMS OF 2014 i By: Cody Smoldt, contributor *w *. V/ince Staples - Hell Can Wait EP (Def Jam) It was not that long ago that Long Beach native Vince Staples was working with Odd Future and struggling to rind his voice. On his debut EP that voice comes in loud and clear. Staples's growth in the last tour vears has been astounding, and "Hell Can Wait" is a 9 scathing account of a young man that is frustrated and fed up. On album highlight "Blue Suede." Staples simply hopes to outlive the roses at his friend's funeral. Ahet the death of Michael Brown protestors in Ferguson used the phrase "Hands up dont shoot" to fight Isaiah Rashad - 'Cilvia Demo' Top Dawg Entertainment back against police brutality, Staples has turned it to a rallying cry. Unlike the othet rappers signed to California-based rap label Top Dawg Entertainment (a group that includes Kendrick Lamar, ScHoolboy Q, Ab-Soul and Jay Rock), Isaiah Rashad hails from Chattanooga, Tennessee and wears his influences proudly on his sleeve. While others were listening to Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg, Rashad was busy listening to Outkast and Scarface. He may still be young, but on Cilvia Demo Rashad fully embracec his southern roots and managed to craft one of the best albums of the vear.

Have Mercy - A Place of Our Own'' (Topshelf) The recent resurgence of emo owes quite a bit to Topshelf Records and the many talented 9 ■? ^TT bands that are signed with this label. With their follow up to last years excellent "The Earth Pushed Back," Have Mercy has pushed the latest "emo revival" to even greater # <=7? heights. On "A Place of Our Own" the band has polished their craft to near perfection. They've matured since their debut and it shows, especially in the lyrics and instrumenta- tion. The vocals are srill outstanding and the songs still hit like a ton of bricks. Flying Lotus - You re Dead:" Warp "You're Dead!" is a concept album that deals with some pretty heavy themes — the inevi- tability of death, loss of a loved one. etc. — but that exclamation point in the title didn't end up there on accident. The fifth studio album from Steve Ellison aka Flying Lotus is a lighthearted fusion of jazz, hip-hop and electronica. In FlyLo's world death is inevitable, but it can also be a relief. In the video for the Kendrick Lamar assisted standr. nt 'Never Catch Me" we see two kids dance at their own funeral. The image is haunting and moving all at once and perfectly captures the fteedom that some can only find in death. Joyce Manor - Never Hungover Again" (Epitaph) Joyce Manors third album Never Hungover Again is a short 19 minutes of unabashed, raw, emotional pop punk. The longest song isn't even two and a half minutes and sev- eral of the album's 10 tracks barely clock in at over a minute. This isn't a bad thing. The album's brevity lets the band accomplish everything they set out to do without This is just the beginning! Check back in the next overstaying their welcome. Pop punk is often blasted as "immature" but "Never Hun- issue of The Tiger for the top 5 albums of 2014 ... gover Again" is the perfect soundtrack for the early twenty-something that doesn't quite have it all together.

So your roommato is a By: Sana Azami, Senior Staff Writer

They called you paranoid when you first brought it up, and over winter break you managed to convince yourself that it really was all just in your head. Now that you've been back on campus for a while, it's all coming back to you.

Your roommate is actually a ...

Secret Agent:

Though this type of roomie is generally neat and tidy (even folding his or her bedclothes into perfect hospital corners), they may disappear for up to a week on end without explana- tion. Sure, that's not so bad, but when you are forbidden from using their printer because the yellow ink cartridge is filled with lemon juice (to better write hidden letters) you really start freaking out. And there was that one time you got a text that read, "Don't panic when you come home, I have it under control," anc; the apartment reeked of ammonia for the next week. Here are some other potential signs: 1) Watches K-dramas, Mexican melodramas or other foreign language media without subtitles, but makes no other indication of knowing or speaking the language. 2) Once fell after stepping on a tack and didn't make a sound. They just dabbed on some iodine and set their own sprain. 3) Has an escape map taped to the fridge 4) All of their online shopping is done on disposable Visa gift cards 5) Has files of well worn — though blank — paper 6) Wears a watch, even to bed

Martian Prince in Exile:

Being socially awkward and emotionally stunted is the new cool; we get that. But how is possible not to have a social media footprint? For all the hours you've logged Internet stalking, there is no evidence that they even existed before college. That along with some of these other bizarre habits: 1) Small balls of aluminum foil are found littered about with regularity. 2) A full glass of water with a single penny sits on the nightstand, because "it prevents fungal growth." 3) Watches the static on television with animated fascination 4) Insists they like eating acai and bitter melon concoctions 5) Flips through radio stations in the middle of songs with regularity 6) Types in Winding font

Serial Killer:

You both clicked at Freshman Orientation and quickly made a pact to be mates for life. Sure, she made sure to draw up a contract and the both of you signed it with a bloody thumb- print, but then again, college is all about new experiences. Then a couple months ago, her cat died and things got weird. For example, is your roomie: 1) Overly particular about the contents of the fridge: the eggs are all individually initialed and the flavored yogurt is in color order. 2) Puts the toilet paper roll in backwards 3) Eats the cream, but not the cookie, or vice versa 4) Goes through multiple romantic partners, many of whom are never seen again 5) Makes scrupulous lists and then follows them through to the letter 6) Uses a sharpie to draw faces on all the fruit. The Clementines on the counter always appear frightened and in dire need of brow tweezing 7) Is exceptionally good looking and put together at any hour of the day

Witch:

The all black all the time you can understand. Black is slimming, everything matches, yadda yadda. It's that he chooses to watch zombie movies at ungodly hours of the night and the prickly feeling you get when he looks at you, as if he will act on the passive aggressive notes left all over the apartment. Does he: 1) Have a necklace that they are overly found of and refuses to part with or talk about 2) You find random fits of fluff in jars 3) Regularly adds a crystal balls to the dishwasher 4) Is a twin 5) Can found carrying conversation with their reflections or in pots of boiling liquid 6) Would carry roaches and stinkbugs outside instead of squashing them flat 7) Buys and lights unscented candles around thrift store purchases to "air out spirits"
