Best TE @ Clemson I saw was:


May 13, 2022, 2:46 PM

Bennie Cunningham!

And what I saw in person at Univ of TN one hot Saturday afternoon was unreal play involving 2 long plays for TD's that displayed speed and athletic ability against some mighty fine & fast DB's who just couldn't catch Ben!

Shame SEC officials stole that game in last seconds!

Never seen a Clemson team so angry & down after a meaningful & big game as they loaded bus later!

Lastly, BiG Ben was a true Gentleman and fully deserved his fine & long career with the Steelers whose fans remembered him fondly many years after his retirement.

I’d have to say Mr.

Dwayne Allen. A bit of a road grader.

Great story Bill. When you say speed and athletic ability, do you mean like this?

Sometimes the road to the truth is so elusive it's confusing and reality becomes illusion.

And in my opinion there is quite a Gap between Bennie and the next group of very good TE’s.

Leggett was clutch in the National Championship game. I agree with LBB, Bennie was the best we've seen so far.

--Henry David Thoreau


Leggett's catch with 19 seconds left


May 13, 2022, 4:55 PM

is one of the greatest catches in Clemson history. How he turned his body back around, adjusted and was able to reach out and snag that ball is beyond me.

Agreed... that whole drive is magical, I still get fired up


May 13, 2022, 8:20 PM

and I know I've watched it 100 times. 2018 was special in it's own way, but this drive, against all odds, with all the great plays... Williams, Leggett, Renfrow... simply amazing. Doesn't seem like 6 years ago...

A drunk will run a STOP sign, but a stoner will wait for it to turn green.

Players bounced off Bennie. He was hard to bring down and would run over them.

Agreed!

... and Bennie had the jets too!! <img border=">

Bennie, I still remember him carrying 4 guys down the field that were trying to tackle him

He should be in HOF

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-20yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

He was inducted into the Clemson HOF in 1984

Do you mean the Ring of Honor?

Was at that game as well. Bennie is my choice.

He was my HS AP History student teacher along with Mike O'Cain back in the late '70s. Fun times and memories!

If you don't say Bennie Cunningham, you aren't old enough or you haven't been a Tiger fan long enough. Really Simple.....

I was in Tiger Band at that Vol game. Hidden player game by Easly native, Stanley Morgan.

Bennie was a college AA and was a fixture on the Steelers
