Miller has also noticed a stark change in the team culture, which has become more family-ori-

ented during his time at Clemson, Camaraderie is

vital to the success of a team, and Miller is quick to

point that out.

"When I arrived here as a freshmen, you might see the offense hanging with each other and the defense hanging with each other Now, you see everyone with each other We are more of a team now than we ever were before."

Miller is a young man who has surrounded

himself with the right kind of people. He has built a strong family support system, led by his mother, father, and brother Brandon, whom Miller cites as his best friend.

A lively tone comes over his voice as he talks about his relationship with his brother, saying, "Any

time either one of us is going through something,

we talk and we can work it out. He's the best little

brother in the world."

tackles in 17 snaps on defense against N.C. State

on September 13, helping the Tigers to a 27-9 win.

He then had four tackles and a pass breakup in 34

snaps in Clemson's 54-0 victory over S C. State the following weekend. Inside Linebackers Coach David Blackwell

has an affinity for Miller and can appreciate what he brings to the table.

"Josh is a great young man." said Blackwell. "He's awesome to be around, has a great attitude,

Miller embodies the type of character devel-

their student-athletes. With men like Miller repre-

senting the Tigers, it would be fair to say "mission accomplished."

Charles Benedict Calvert found- Terrapins ed Maryland Agricultural College in to Watcif 1856 with the goal of creating a school that offers outstanding practical knowl- edge to him and his neighbors, and be "an institution superior to any other."

Some 152 years later, Maryland has blossomed from its roots as the state's first agricultural college and one of America's original land-grant institutions into a model of the modern research university. It is the state's greatest asset for its economic devel- opment and its future, and it has made its mark in the nation and the world. Calvert would be astounded by the depth and breadth of research activities, innovative educational pro- grams, and the single-minded pursuit of excellence that are a part of the university today. Maryland is ranked #18 among the nation's top public research universities by U.S. News & World Report.

Maryland is the state's premier center of research and graduate education, and it is the public institution of choice for undergraduate students of exceptional ability and promise. The university focuses great attention on the highest academic standards, affordability for all qualified students, and a President's Promise program that guarantees opportunity for extraordinary extracurricular and professional experiences for each student. #8 Darrius Heyward-Bey, WR

ill See TOU at the End of the Road li6RoadTbTampaBay.com How do you spot the team that does whatever it takes?

Just look for the grass stains, the cuts, and the bruises.

It's the competitor who keeps fighting no matter what the Death Valley scoreboard says.

It's the player who knows there is no "offseason."

It's the packed stadium decorated in a sea of brilliant orange.

It's respecting traditions like Howard's Rock and running down the hill.

That's the kind of passion we bring to our customers each day.

And it's why we proudly support the orange and white in everything they do.
