State in 2004. • Jacoby Ford is the first person in Clemson history to have a punt and kickoff return for a touchdown of over 90 yards in his career. • Tonight’s game was the first time Clemson has had two backs run for over 100 yards since 2002 vs. North Carolina. Bernard Rambert and Tye Hill were the running backs. • Has scored at least 50 points in 3 straight home games since the last two home games in the 1950 season and the first game of the 1951 season.

Cliff Austin, Jeff McCall, and Chuck McSwain were the running backs that did so at Virginia in 1982. Tonight, Davis, Spiller, and Demerick Chancellor each had over 100 yards. • Demerick Chancellor had his first 100-yard rushing effort as a Tiger. He did so on 11 carries (113 yards total).
