Landmark Performance by Clemson's Defense The Tiger defense held Boston College to just 54

yards of total offense last weekend to key Clemson's 25-7 win. The Eagles gained only 29 rushing yards and

25 passing yards on their 49 plays, an average of just

1.10 yards per play, the best performance by a Tiger defense since averaged just 1.09 yards

per play in 1 987. The 54 yards recorded by Boston Col-

lege were the sixth-fewest by a Clemson opponent in school history, including the second-fewest by an ACC

foe. It was also the low total by a Clemson opponent since 1963, when Virginia totaled just 41 yards.

The Tigers held Boston College to just four first downs, the fewest by a Clemson opponent since Fur-

man had three in 1 989. Boston College completed just

23.8 percent of its passes (5-2 1 ). Clemson leads the na-

tion in completion-percentage defense and is second

in pass efficiency defense. Clemson's defense had three against the Eagles and has eight for the year, tied for second-

most in the nation. Clemson is also tied for sixth in the

nation in turnovers forced (9).

control and lead more drills," recalled Austin. "It in- creased the leadership of the team and the cohesion

on the team. It's a role that I really enjoyed."

On the field, Austin has been one of the most de- pendable and hard-working offensive linemen over

the past few seasons. He was the line's top backup

during his red-shirt freshman season, then he started

12 games as a sophomore, four at guard and eight at

center. In 2008, he was the only Tiger offensive line-

man to start all 13 games. Throughout his career, he

has won five ACC Offensive Lineman-of-the-Week

awards, which ties him for third-most in school history

and tied for most among offensive linemen.

Austin again demonstrated his ability to adapt

when he was called on to switch positions earlier in his

career. He started his career as a guard but was moved

to center during his sophomore campaign. He stayed

at center for half of his junior year before moving back

to guard midway through the season. A team player,

Austin was willing to step away from his natural posi-

tion of guard in order to help the team succeed.

Of course, being versatile certainly does not hurt

his NFL prospects. With 45-player rosters in the NFL, the league puts a priority on offensive linemen who

have experience at more than one position.

ney decided to have his team depart buses outside

the Lot 5 parking lot near the WestZone at Memorial Stadium and experience the gameday atmosphere.

Dressed in jackets and ties, the team was embraced

by thousands of Tiger fans who stood 10 deep for the

200-yard march to the stadium. It was the centerpiece

of his"AII ln"theme in his first week as head coach. It is

a tradition that will continue in the future.

In his second week as head coach, an off-week, he

invited the Clemson student body to a practice, and nearly 1,000 students showed up. He spoke to the

group and actually allowed some students to partici- pate during practice, as they were selected to attempt

a field goal, punt against a live rush, and field a punt.

He also took the entire team to the Greenville Chil-

dren's Hospital for a visit with young men and women fighting cancer.

The Tigers played at Boston College in his first-ever

road game as head coach on November 1. Despite

committing four turnovers and trailing in the fourth

quarter, his troops rallied for a 27-21 win, giving Clem-

son its first win over the Eagles since 1 958. It also came against the eventual ACC Atlantic Division champion.

In 2007, he coached Kelly, a First-Team AII-ACC se-

lection who led the league in receiving yards per game

and touchdown catches (11). He also finished second

in receptions per game with a school-record 88 catch-

es, tied for the second-highest total in ACC history. His

1 1 touchdown catches were a Tiger record as well.

Kelly is Clemson's and the ACC's career reception leader with 232 catches. He also owns the school touchdown reception record with 20. The previous re- cord of 18 was held by Glenn Smith, who established the record in 1951. The Alabama native has a reputation as one of the top recruiters in the nation. In 2006, he was listed as

the fifth-best recruiter in the nation by Rivals.com . It marked the second straight year that he was lauded by the website as a top-25 national recruiter. He signed

38 players in his five recruiting seasons and was a ma- jor reason Clemson's 2008 recruiting class was rated #2

in the nation by ESPN.com when he signed 1 1 players.

He was named one of the top-25 recruiters in the na- tion by Rivals.com in 2007 as well. When Swinney accepted the interim head coach-

ing position on October 13, 2008, he described his feelings as "bittersweet" because he was taking over for Bowden, who had been his first position coach at

Alabama in 1989. He had also brought Swinney 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 Vir- ginia and Swinney was a walk-on at Alabama.

Either in 1 964 or 1 965, S.C. Jones, a member of the

class of 1919, made a trip to California. He stopped at

a spot in Death Valley, CA and picked up a white flint

rock. He presented it to Head Coach Frank Howard

as being from Death Valley, California to Death Valley, South Carolina.

The rock laid on the floor in Howard's office in Fike Fieldhouse for years. One day, he was cleaning up

his office and told Gene Willimon, who was executive

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 3,000

miles by a very sincere Clemson fan.

By the mid-1 960s, Memorial Stadium was living up

to its moniker ("Death Valley") because of the number of Tiger wins that had been recorded there. Actually,

the name was first used by Lonnie McMillan, head coach

at Presbyterian during the 1 940s. McMillan and the other Blue Hose coaches before him used to open each season by playing at Clemson.

Seldom scoring (24 shutouts in 39 games), and with only

three victories and four ties to show for it, his teams were

getting"killed"bytheTigers regularly. In 1948, McMillan

made the comment to the press that he was taking his

team to play Clemson in "Death Valley." An occasional reference to Memorial Stadium by that name could be heard for the next four years,

but when Howard started calling it "Death Valley" in

2009 Clemson Football Clem5onTiaets.coiii ^ I the 1950s, the name took off like wildfire. Clemson celebrated its 67th year in the "Valley" in 2008. But getting back to Howard's Rock.

The Rock was mounted on a pedestal at the top of the Hill on the east side of the stadium. It was unveiled

September 24, 1966 when Clemson played Virginia. The

Tigers were down 18 points with 17 minutes left and came back to win 40-35 on a 65-yard pass from Jimmy

Addison to Jacky Jackson in the fourth quarter. That was quite a debut for the Rock. The team members started rubbing the Rock prior to running down the Hill on September 23, 1 967, a day when Clemson defeated Wake Forest by a score of 23-

6.

Prior to running down the Hill that day, Howard told his players, "If you're going to give me 1 10 percent, you can rub that Rock. If you're not, keep your filthy hands off it."

Howard told of the incident during the following day on his television show, and the story became leg- end. When Hootie Ingram succeeded Howard as head coach prior to the 1970 campaign, Ingram decided that the team would make its final entrance on the field out After final warmups, the team gathers back in its of the dressing room in the west endzone.

Clemson is committed to building a model sports program - one that propels our university into achieving and maintaining national athletic rankings that rival our competitors. The WestZone project is a major step forward in building a total sports program.

In order to be a consistent contender at the highest level of competition, Clemson must recruit the best student-athletes in the nation - student-athletes who can compete both academically and athletically. The nation's best recruits are impressed by superior facilities, top coaches, and a strong sense of excitement along with school spirit. They desire an environment in which they will have a positive, nurturing experience.

ClemsonTiPers.com 2009 Clemson Football | ^ 63 What is Clemson?

In a virtual world, you can walk through molecules and examine them from the inside out. Your only limit

is your imagination.

That's what seventh-graders are learning through an ambitious teaching experiment. Researchers from Clemson University and Appalachian State University are using virtual worlds to excite young minds about math

and science. The collaborative project is supported by a three-year $1.49 million National Science Foundation grant, which was developed with the same technology used to teach the students.

"The goal is to help rising seventh-grade students acquire

the computer and cognitive skills

they will need to imagine

careers in science or math," says Sean Williams, associ- ate dean of Clemson's graduate school and associate professor of English. "We're using 3-D virtual worlds to entice them, open their eyes to the possibilities while they're young."

Williams is collaborating with two other Clemson professors — Debi Switzer, professor of education, and

Ken Weaver, a lecturer in the School of Computing — as well as three Appalachian State professors and middle school teachers from both North and South Carolina.

Weaver is confident that the research team, which crosses not only disciplines but also institutions, helped win the NSF grant. "True collaborative efforts are the way of the future," he says, "particularly as technology crosses paths with other disciplines." ^CLEMSON \889 UNIVERSITY 731
