Stacey Driver is the leading returning rusher from last year with 774 yards, while Kenny Flowers had 557 as a reserve tailback.

The wide receivers got off to a bad start the first day of practice. Terrance Roulhac and Ray Wil- liams, two of Clemson's top three receivers in 1983, had leg or ankle problems on the opening day of practice (August 9), but both should be ready for the opener.
