Clemson Successful on Homecoming

Saturday will be Homecoming at Clemson when Mi-

ami (FL) comes to town. It has historically been a celebra-

tion that has included a Tiger victory 76 percent of the

time since its first Homecoming in 1922. Clemson has an

overall record of 64-1 9-3 (.761 ) in its first 86 Homecoming

games. That includes a 34-3-2 record (.897) in Homecom- ing games since the 1971 season.

The first Homecoming game at Clemson was in the

1 922 season, a 2 1 -0 loss to Centre. The Tigers were actual-

ly 0-4-1 through their first five Homecoming games, so it is surprising that the tradition continued. Clemson defeated

Auburn in 1927 by a score of 3-0 for its first Homecoming triumph.

offered McDaniel a scholarship, including his hometown

Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Louisville, and the Seminoles. When he signed with the Tigers on National Signing

Day in February of 2006, McDaniel soon found out that

the process of getting to play Division I football was not

over yet. Academic issues forced the four-star recruit to

Hargrave Military Academy, where he fine-tuned his game

while establishing a work ethic academically that has fol-

lowed him to Clemson. He has learned to appreciate his

class work, as he is now just a few hours shy of receiving

his degree in December.

"Up to that point, I really didn't care all that much As a linebacker, DeAndre McDaniel returned a about my classes," he admitted. "My semester (at Har- fumble 28 yards for a score against Nebraska in

"When I caught the ball and started running, I thought

to get there. I saw him (Ponder) and I knew it was him and

me. I honestly don't know why I pointed. I guess it was the

emotion. I just hit him."

Ponder separated his shoulder and missed the remainder of the 2009 season. McDaniel became a YouTube sensation as the clip of his ferocious hit made the rounds on the internet. The two players saw each other at the ACC

Football Kickoff in Greensboro, NC in July.

"I talked with him at the Kickoff," stated McDaniel. "I never wanted to hurt him. He is a great guy and a terrific quarterback. It was just part of the game."

four tackles for loss, four pass breakups, and a sack.

Maxwell continued to excel in 2008. He recorded at

least three tackles in all but three games and totaled five

or more tackles in six of the 1 2 games. Maxwell led all non-

starters in tackles (54) that season, including three tackles

for loss and four pass breakups.

He tallied 21 of his 54 tackles on special teams, which led the team, and was named the team's special teams player-of-the-week three times. His best performance of

the receiver, spotted the ball, and snatched it out of the air.

"It was a good way to start the season off right," he said about the interception.

Maxwell finished the game with six tackles in addition to the caused fumble and interception.

Two games later at #15 Auburn, Maxwell put a pun-

ishing hit on Onterio McCalebb in overtime, knocking him

out cold. McCalebb laid on the field for several minutes but turned out to be ok.

"I knew it was a pretty good hit but I didn't know when

it happened that he was knocked out," admitted Maxwell.

"I was thinking about the next play."

McCalebb was Auburn's leading rusher in the game

but was unavailable for Auburn's third-and-six play in overtime, on which Cameron Newton threw an incom-

That mark included four victories in the last five regular-

season games, with the only loss at #24 Florida State. That

4-1 record to end the regular season tied for the best mark

in the ACC for that time period. Four of his six regular-

season opponents were later bowl participants. His 4-3 re-

cord included a 2-1 road record, wins over Boston College

and Virginia.

Swinney's first victory as a head coach took place in

his first-ever road game at Boston College on November

1. Despite committing four turnovers and trailing in the

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

Clemson its first win over the Eagles since 1958. It also came against the eventual ACC Atlantic Division winner.

The Tigers suffered a 41-27 defeat at #24 Florida State

When he accepted the interim head coaching position

on October 13, 2008, he described his feelings as "bitter-

sweet" 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 Virginia and Swinney was a walk-on at Alabama. Swinney received a commerce & business administra-

tion degree from Alabama in 1993 after lettering three

times (1 990-92). A walk-on who went on to earn a scholar-

ship, Swinney was a wide receiver on Alabama's 1992 Na- tional 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, Swinney served as a graduate

assistant from 1993-95 at Alabama, where he coached in

the 1994 Gator Bowl and 1995 Citrus Bowl. In December

of 1995, he received a master's degree in business admin-

istration from Alabama.

He became a full-time assistant coach at Alabama in February of 1996 under Head Coach Gene Stallings and

coached a total of five seasons there on a full-time basis.

He was assigned to coach the Crimson Tide's wide receiv-

ers and tight ends in 1 996, a season that saw Alabama win

the SEC Western Division title and make an Outback Bowl appearance. The following year, he solely coached the catches five of the last six years.

The student-athletes desire an WestZone #

environment in which they will have a positive, nurturing experience.

It is not a coincidence that the quality of Clemson's recruiting classes has improved dramatically since the

WestZone project began in 2004.

Coaching is the most critical component of such an environment. An outstanding coach can sometimes transform meager resources into a good program, but the greatest success in college football comes when top-quality coaching combined with top-quality facilities allows that coach to recruit successfully on a consistent and continuing basis. Former Clemson running back James Davis, the 2005 ACC Rookie-of-the-Year and now with the Cleveland Browns, stated that one of the biggest contributing factors in deciding on Clemson was the University's commitment to upgrading facilities. "Does Clemson want to be a championship program?"asked Davis when he was considering Clemson. "The WestZone (initiative) showed me that it does!"

Building success requires building for success. While the project will provide resources for Clemson's total sports compete with the nation's best. Moving all Clemson football

Jervey and McFadden buildings for the other 18 Clemson

sports to improve their facilities for recruiting and have more

office, training, conditioning, and sports medicine space.

This will greatly enhance the overall performance, both

on and off the field of competition, for all 1 9 of Clemson's

intercollegiate sports.

While at Clemson, he has worked for three head football coaches and has had a tremendous impact throughout the state at many notable high school programs.

ClemsonTigers.com 201 Tiger Football 75 Humble Beginnings From the humble beginnings of playing on Bowman

Field in the late 1800s and early 1900s and the building of Historic Riggs Field in 1 91 5, Clemson has a storied past that is very much embraced today. Under early leaders, such as Walter M. Riggs and John

Heisman, the Tigers built the foundation that maintains

Clemson athletics as a vital force. Fike Fieldhouse was built in 1 930 and Memorial Stadium was erected in a valley in 1942. IPTAY, a model for college booster organizations across the country, was born in 1934, providing educational opportunities for student-athletes.

Women's sports were added in the mid-1970s, and with this growth came the Jervey Athletic Center in 1973.

The most recent athletic facility added was the WestZone in 2009, transforming Memorial Stadium into one of the most modern facilities in the nation.

With this growth and expansion, it is interesting to note that Bowman Field, Historic Riggs Field, and Fike

Fieldhouse are still in use today by varsity athletics and the student body. The Tigers are fortunate to have had outstanding early leaders who had bold and futuristic vision.

Exciting Future

As Clemson embarks on its athletics future, the philos- ophy of holistically developing the student-athlete continues to be at the forefront. IPTAY continues to provide the funding necessary to carry out this mission and lives up to its motto ("Championships Begin With Scholarships") (student-athlete enrichment center), various facility proj- We are confident that future generations of male and by funding approximately 500 scholarships, Vickery Hall ects, and the operation of IPTAY. female athletes will move beyond their fields of play and

have a positive impact on the world, just as all of the student-athletes who have preceded them throughout the

celebrated history of Clemson athletics. Our goal is to pro-

vide our student-athletes with championship-level fields,

courts, classrooms, and civic and community-service edu-

cation that is second-to-none in the country. If we expect

the best upon graduation, we must invest in the best. The exciting and visionary future plans include:

• Completion the WestZone Museum, Oculus, and North- west Concourse

• Renovation of Historic Riggs Field - a new gateway to the

Athletic District

• Facility improvements and additions to Doug Kingsmore

Stadium for our baseball program

• Expansion of the Hoke Sloan Tennis Facility

• Expanding the footprint of basketball - a master plan for Littlejohn Coliseum and the Huckabee Annex

• Funding our community-service initiatives

Please join Tiger athletics and IPTAY in supporting this important plan. Call our major gifts office at (864) 656- 5208 for more details and to learn how you can help. I Design Development Greenville, SC Gabriel Dibiase Columbia, SC IPTAY Thank You! Dick Hendley - IH Services, Inc. Greenville, SC

Fortier is a veteran of 51 games as a Tiger and has five
