On This Date: 1978 (20)Clemson- 33 NC State- 10


Oct 28, 2018, 7:31 PM

10/28/78
Raleigh, NC





In 1978 Charley Pell's final Clemson squad came into the Textile Bowl at 5-1 and #20 in the nation to take on Bo Rein's 5-1 but unranked NC State Wolfpack in Raleigh. Led by QB Steve Fuller, RB Lester Brown, and WRs Jerry Butler and Dwight Clark on offense, along with LBs Bubba Brown and Randy Scott on defense, the Tigers completed a 33-10 massacre of the ‘Pack. Clemson would finish the 11-1 (6-0 ACC) ACC championship season off in style by beating Woody Hayes's last Ohio State Buckeye team 17-15 in Jacksonville, FL at the Gator Bowl to end up at #6 in the final polls. NC State would complete a 9-3 season by beating Pittsburgh in the Tangerine Bowl to finish fifteenth in the nation.

The Clemson crowd was singing “Our Brown’s Better Than Your Brown” when Lester completely out shines Ted.

...for making too much noise at the opponent's home field.

I graduated in '78 and was off trying to adult that season. Almost everyday I would wake up and think something was amiss. Then it would come to me, it didn't feel right not to be on campus. I made it back for only two games in '78. Sigh.

One of the few games back then that was broadcast in the Washington, DC area (even the classic with Maryland that year wasn't televised in DC metro due to blackout). Remember watching that on TV with the family - was a great victory. That was one hell of a team, at every position.
