11/27/21 - Will Shipley, Jr/2024, Clemson, 5-11, 206 (DS#8 RB) + More +

Clemson finished an unusual season in a very familiar way with a dominating win over rival South Carolina. Will Shipley ran for 128 yards and a touchdown and Clemson's defense smothered the Gamecocks for its seventh-straight win in the Palmetto State rivalry 30-0 on Saturday night. The Tigers had won six straight Atlantic Coast Conference titles and were picked to make it seven straight this past summer before a 2-2 start cost them. Still, Clemson coach Dabo Swinney was thrilled his team excelled in the biggest sporting event each year in the Palmetto State. The Tigers (9-3; No. 23 CFP) won their fifth straight this season and matched the longest win streak in the series that they set from 1934-40.

Clemson's defense limited South Carolina (6-6) to 206 yards, its second lowest output this season. It was the Tigers' first rivalry shutout since a 45-0 win in 1989 and its first time holding an opponent scoreless since a 49-0 win over The Citadel in 2020. The Tigers outrushed the Gamecocks 265 to 43. "There's nothing more demoralizing than to have the ball run on you," Clemson offensive coordinator Tony Elliott said. The lone drama at the end was whether South Carolina could put points on the board. With five seconds left, quarterback Zeb Noland ran 12 yards to the Clemson 3 before getting tackled by Jeremiah Trotter Jr. Clemson's bench jumped from the sidelines to celebrate the shutout and the landmark win in a game that's the most anticipated sporting event in South Carolina each year. - Clemson/AP College Football

11/17/21 - Justyn Ross, rSr/2022, Clemson, 6-4, 210 (DS#35 WR) + More +

Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said leading receiver Justyn Ross will have surgery to fix the stress fracture in his foot then get ready for the NFL draft. Ross will miss Saturday's game against Wake Forest and the season-ending rivalry contest at South Carolina on Nov. 27. Swinney said Wednesday he wasn't sure if Ross would be ready to play in a bowl game, "but he'll be ready to train and do what he needs to do for the (NFL) combine." Ross had the option to play for the Tigers in 2022, but Swinney said he has chosen the NFL. "He doesn't need another season here," Swinney said. "He's going pro." Ross has 46 catches for 514 yards and three touchdowns. He first gained attention as a freshman when he had three catches for 153 yards, including a 74-yard touchdown reception in Clemson's 44-16 national championship victory over Alabama to end the 2018 season. - AP College Football

Clemson will be without leading receiver Justyn Ross for this week's game with No. 13 Wake Forest with a foot injury Tigers coach Dabo Swinney said on Tuesday that Ross will need surgery on his foot. Swinney said Ross had been dealing with stress facture in his foot throughout the season. The coach added, "Amazing that he's been able to play 10 games." Clemson (7-3, 5-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) closes its home season Saturday against the Demon Deacons (9-1, 6-0), who can clinch the ACC Atlantic Division with a victory. Ross is the latest key offensive player to miss time for the Tigers this season following offensive line starter Matt Bockhorst and tight end Braden Galloway, who are both out with season-ending injuries. Swinney said Ross will need a screw in his foot. He said Ross will likely have surgery this week, although he may wait to see how he feels and possibly play in the season-ending rivalry game with South Carolina on Nov. 27. - AP College Football

10/30/21 - Will Shipley, Jr/2024, Clemson, 5-11, 206 (DS#8 RB) + More +

After his mistakes in a loss to Pitt, five-star freshman tailback Will Shipley vowed he'd prove he was capable of becoming a dependable and prominent part of Clemson's offense. Shipley came through on that promise, rescuing the Tigers against Florida State. "For me personally, I'm always happy to do what I can to help this team win," Shipley said. Shipley was stung by a couple of noteworthy miscues in Clemson's 27-17 loss at Pitt a week ago including a drop of a potential touchdown after he'd gotten behind the defense. This time, Shipley led the way to bail out Clemson's struggling offense with a pair of touchdowns, including the go-ahead score from 21 yards out with 2:53 left for a 30-20 victory over Florida State on Saturday.

Shipley told teammates before the go-ahead drive the didn't want a tying field goal, but to put the game away. "That's exactly what we did," he said. Clemson offensive coordinator Tony Elliott believes Shipley's fire can sweep up the whole unit that's had its struggles this season including against the Seminoles. "It was good to show everybody else he's got the heart of a champion," Elliott said of Shipley. The Seminoles (3-5, 2-3 Atlantic Coast Conference) were poised to snap Clemson's nearly five-year streak of success at home after Jermaine Johnson's 6-yard fumble recovery TD put them ahead 20-17 halfway through the fourth quarter. - Clemson/AP College Football

B.T. Potter had four field goals, hitting a tiebreaking 35-yarder late in the third quarter, and No. 25 Clemson held off Boston College 19-13 on Saturday night. The Tigers (3-2, 2-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) have won 31 straight at home despite the suddenly stagnant offense held to a first-quarter touchdown. They have won 11 in a row over Boston College (4-1, 0-1). Boston College drove to the Clemson 12 in the final minute. But quarterback Dennis Grosel fumbled away the snap and defensive end K.J. Henry recovered to seal it.

The Eagles were among the ACC's surprise teams with their first 4-0 start in 14 years. They just couldn't make much happen against the Clemson defense. When BC's Nate Okpala blocked a punt in Clemson territory early in the third quarter, the responded with a three-and-out. In the fourth quarter, the Eagles drove to the Clemson 43. But Grosel bobbled the snap on third down and lost 16 yards. Clemson had hoped to break out of a season-long offensive funk where its has scored just 57 points combined against its four Power Five opponents this year. - Clemson/AP College Football

09/28/21 - *Bryan Bresee, rSo/2023, Clemson, 6-6, 302 (DS#2 DT) + More +

Clemson has lost starting defensive tackle Bryan Bresee for the rest of the season after the sophomore tore an ACL in the overtime loss at North Carolina State on Saturday. Clemson coach Dabo Swinney updated Bresee's status on Sunday. Bresee is a 6-foot-5, 300-pound lineman from Damascus, Maryland. He was one fo the nation's top recruits when he signed at Clemson and was the Atlantic Coast Conference defensive rookie of the year. Swinney also said starting tailback Will Shipley will miss three-to-four weeks with a leg injury. Shipley is a freshman who had risen to take over for NFL first-round and ACC career rushing leader Travis Etienne. Bresee's loss means the Tigers will play without their two starting defensive tackles for a while. Tyler Davis is out for as much as two months with a torn bicep. Swinney said Bresee expects to be full go by the middle of next year. - AP College Football
