Dye emotional in Clemson debut
Tyshon Dye’s road to the playing field as a Clemson Tiger has been long and arduous but his love of the game that he grew up playing kept him going through even the toughest times. When the Georgia native’s time finally came Thursday night, there were butterflies, jitters and even a few tears. What does Dye say about the experience? How healthy is he? Full Story » |

Dude is going to be good if healthy. You can't take much away from garbage time when the Deacs knew we would try to run out the clock, but his first run was good. If he learns the system, gets healthier, and has Watson and crew along with the new O-linemen coming in - who let's face it have a decent shot to start at least at right tackle - then watch out.

Tyshon is the man...

2+ years of rehab and his spirit and drive is just as potent as ever. Just thinking about the hardship he's endured and finally being able to compete and show his talent is an inspiration to me personally and should be to everyone. Tyshon, you have a strength and power now that will not only serve you on the field but throughout your life. Embrace it and thrive from it. And no matter what, from here on out just know that you are The Man!

I've been waiting a long time to watch him play in a tiger uniform. He made it worth the wait.

It was hard to not notice that physically he looks just a whole lot like what I'm used to seeing with the likes of 'Bama, LSU, and Auburn. He looks like - sorry - a typical SEC West running back. Definitely passes the eye test.
We'll probably see him sparingly against GT, but I'd expect a big dose of Dye against Georgia State. In an ideal world he's got some confidence and momentum going into the South Carolina and bowl games.

Dye ...it was great to see him able to play tonight. He will be special. He will be alright once he gets a few rep's.

Yep!!! I think we found our next great back. From the first time he touched ball. He's the most natural running back I've seen in our lineup. Choice is close, but Dye is the one. Great combination of speed, power and natural born instincts.
Go Tigers!!!

The impressive part is he ran so well behind a struggling line! He, and Choice look the part. Gallman has that skat back feel/look. I'm still very disappointed in the o-line! Reminds me of the day's Spiller had to run behind a suspect line. Or when Whitehurst only had milliseconds to get the ball out. The injuries, and the transfer really hurt. Even with the problems we have had this year, I still think 11 wins are possible if Watson stays healthy! I just hope he isn't the glass cannon he appears to be! Always proud to be a Tiger! Even when we win ugly! Heck, a loss as a Tiger is better than a ShameCock win any day!
GO TIGERS!

If he can stay healthy.
And they can keep a pen away from him.

Gallman reminds me so much of T.J. Yeldon from Bama it isn't funny. He's slightly smaller, but runs with that same violent style and ridiculous speed in the open field. Both are big backs. Dye looks like more of a in between the tackles downhill runner will straight run you over with solid speed. Todd Gurley anyone?Choice is solid as well. Take into account that we are bringing in the best O-line class seen in a while here, and currently in the country, our running game is looking deadly over the next 3 years or so.

He seems like a good kid. I love winning, but I love winning even more with good young men...unlike FSU. I am extremely excited about watching this young man develop.

He looked smooth and appeared to have some vision on his first run. Something that I don't see often out of our backs. The rest of his runs, he fell forward when tackled except the time it took about five of them to push him back. Looking forward to him hitting his groove.

Great Day For Tye Dye & Tiger Nation Yesterday

This has been a long time coming for him and for us. We need his skill set (along with better OL play) to finish off our offense. I believe we are headed for some very special times over the next few years. Guys gutted it out last night. Not pretty, and definitely hosed several times by the ref's, but still got it done. Proud of the "no quit". Great to be a Tiger.

Should be perfect for the read option. Let Dye thump between the tackles and let DW run in space.

when you see bigfoot or nessie. I had pretty much convinced myself that Dye was just some myth created to strike fear in the hearts of opposing LBs. I am actually amazed!

I'm glad he has this resolve and confidence. I can't wait to see this kid become the monster I think he will be. I just hope that Morris soon realizes that there is a left and right direction to run the ball also...

I just hope that Morris will soon realize that a big productive bruising tough yard gaining RB will improve his offense in a big way....

I have been waiting to see him run and play in a game. Glad to see him healthy and and involved and I hope and pray that he has all of his health issues behind him and has a very productive career as a Tiger and beyond.
