Clemson did just that Saturday, mainly on the legs of rocket running back C.J. Spiller, who raced for 165 yards and one touchdown, on his way to 312 total yards in his career best game. Anyone who says Spiller isn’t Heisman worthy, or at least worthy of the conversation, is delusional. While one might ... mike@runemasterstudios.com (MikeBullock) Clemson Tigers 2009-11-09T10:09:19-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/clemson/14554 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/clemson/14554 This Week’s Matchup Goes a Long Way Towards Cementing Clemson’s ’09 Legacy Saturday brings the Clemson Tigers up against arguably the toughest opponent left on their schedule. With defensive end Da'Quan Bowers ruled out, Florida State QB Christian Ponder and electric wideout Bert Reed will find success far easier when they take the field. Clemson coach Dabo Sweeney said, “If he's not able to ... mike@runemasterstudios.com (MikeBullock) Clemson Tigers 2009-11-06T11:46:31-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/clemson/14540 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/clemson/14540 For Clemson Tiger fans, Saturday’s game against the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers was a How-To demonstration on beating an unworthy opponent. CC’s program, a relative newcomer to the storied ranks of the NCAA really never had a chance. The Clemson game was only their third against a contender, and, as these things go, it showed. The game was over once Jacoby Ford took the field, whether the ... mike@runemasterstudios.com (MikeBullock) Clemson Tigers 2009-11-02T11:37:59-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/clemson/14385 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/clemson/14385 The Clemson – Georgia Tech rivalry has been one of the most closely contested in the ACC over the years. Including last night’s thrilling 30-27 Georgia Tech win 11 of the last 14 games have been decided by 5 points or less. In a game that had two starkly different halves, both teams proved a point to the rest of the ACC. Georgia Tech showed that they are a legitimate contender for the ACC ... pcannon@injtech.com (clemsoncannon) Clemson Tigers 2009-09-12T12:31:36-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/clemson/14366 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/clemson/14366 Dabo Swinney started his non-interim head coaching career with a resounding victory over the Blue Raiders of Middle Tennessee State 37-14 on Saturday night in Death Valley. The Tigers won convincingly over a team that they certainly should have beaten convincingly so it is hard, if not impossible, at this point to put an identity on this Clemson team. Kyle Parker looked sharp for the most part. ... pcannon@injtech.com (clemsoncannon) Clemson Tigers 2009-09-07T08:48:32-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/clemson/14268 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/clemson/14268 As I promise in my last article, I'll tell you how I think Clemson is going to do in the 2009 season. So let's go from game 1, to game 12. Game 1: Middle Tennessee St.- As long as Clemson don't do what Maryland did last year against the Blue Raiders, I think Clemson will dominate them; plus CJ Spellier will have a great afternoon, and We'll see once and for all who deserves to be the ... night1_@hotmail.com (night1) Clemson Tigers 2009-08-15T04:26:58-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/clemson/14248 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/clemson/14248 The Clemson faithful approach the 2009 season with a feeling of excitement not felt since the fall of 1999. For those who are not familiar with our program that is the year that Tommy Bowden took over a program that had been persistently mediocre for the past 10 seasons. And for the next ten seasons we watched our once mighty football program continue to be persistently mediocre with an average ... pcannon@injtech.com (clemsoncannon) Clemson Tigers 2009-08-12T09:21:37-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/clemson/14245 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/clemson/14245 Clemson has a big hole to fill with the departure of James Davis, but there is no other player in the nation that can fill Davis' shoes better than Heisman candidate and senior RB CJ Spiller. Davis ended up second on the all-time rushing list at Clemson. The Tigers also lose WR Aaron Kelley, who just happens to be the ACC's all-time leader in receptions. Senior WR Jacoby Ford should be able to ... ashtonlangley@gmail.com (asht0n14) Clemson Tigers 2009-08-12T08:34:24-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/clemson/14243 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/clemson/14243 Last season after the terrible loss to Wake Forest, Clemson said goodbye to Tommy Bowden, and hello to Dabo Swenney. Clemson improved to 4-2 in the last six games, but lost in the Gator Bowl to Nebraska in a closely hitting contest. Dabo got the head coaching job by beating South Carolina, not by losing to Nebraska in the Gator Bowl. So will Clemson improve this year? The answer is yes! night1_@hotmail.com (night1) Clemson Tigers 2009-08-12T03:05:03-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/clemson/14241 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/clemson/14241 The past three years have been tough on Clemson fans when it comes to quarterback play. Three years ago, the Tigers trotted out Will Proctor as starting quarterback. This was year two of Offensive Coordinator Rob Spence. Everyone thought he was the missing link to Spence’s offense because of his ability to scramble. Needless to say, it was a disaster waiting to happen as Proctor was not the ... kevinbishopkelly@gmail.com (cutigerfan33) Clemson Tigers 2009-08-11T09:20:05-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/clemson/14146 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/clemson/14146 *Editor's Note: We apologize for posting this in the NFL section.

But if you look closely enough, you'll come to realize that only seniors Corey Lambert and Jamarcus Grant are listed as backups, and that Lambert is currently a reserve at both tackle positions. In other words, depth is lacking; and ... rousseauwrites@aol.com (Robert Rousseau) Clemson Tigers 2009-07-03T02:03:12-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/clemson/14096 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/clemson/14096 The Clemson Tigers football team has not lived up to expectations over the past several seasons. There has been no questioning their talent. In fact, last season they were considered a very strong team before once again falling far short of their potential. Under such circumstances, the head coach of a team assumes the majority of the blame and rightfully so. Thus, exit Tommy Bowden and enter ... rousseauwrites@aol.com (Robert Rousseau) Clemson Tigers 2009-07-02T02:01:07-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/clemson/14072 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/clemson/14072 Most college football experts will tell you that claiming victory in the recruiting battle in your state is important if you want to field a team capable of winning conference championships. Do all teams subscribe to that philosophy? No. Nevertheless, enough do that it would seem worth mentioning that out of the seven verbal commitments the Clemson Tigers have received to date, six have come ... rousseauwrites@aol.com (Robert Rousseau) Clemson Tigers 2009-06-25T02:01:07-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/clemson/14052 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/clemson/14052 This time of year in college football, there's little to write about when it comes to the upcoming season. So, recruiting often becomes the rave. Such is the case with the Clemson Tigers, obviously barring a desire to speak of the quarterback situation. Not this time. Along with that, let's talk about the four-star athlete that they've received a solid verbal commitment from. His name is Joe ... rousseauwrites@aol.com (Robert Rousseau) Clemson Tigers 2009-06-18T02:00:06-05:00
