Who is the biggest game changer in our time at Clemson?

Watson is I know what most will say.
But other then him?
Perry? CJ? Sammy? Gains? Danzler?
Nuke? Who else would you say just shocked you with his ability to change games?
GO TIGERS!!

Oh the memories of William Perry (and Michael Dean)
Jan 16, 2016, 11:31 AM

I still remember the time that William Perry blocked a punt... by hitting the blocking back so hard that he was lifted off his feet, thrown backwards, and blocked the punt with his back.

Mine was gains Adams, we were once again getting beat down by wake forest, Adams tips the ball to himself and ran it in for the TD. After that play , we dominated.

Yes, that was a great block and a game changer

The part about William Perry's blocked punt was that it was so completely unexpected. Defensive Nose Guards don't block punts!! They didn't even block the players in the middle (just a bump at best) because they thought there was no chance they could reach punter.

Perry was a monster . big and fast! He was pretty much born 20 years to early. He's a model of the modern DT.

He, Sammy and Watson have/had similar impact on offense but CJ impacted 2/3 phases of a game (offense + special teams). He literally made you hold your breath every time he got the ball.

CJ Spiller- no question- changed the perception and carried the program.

If ever their was a Clemson Moses as a player, it was CJ Spiller.
He commits to Clemson instead of Florida because of Dabo. Then CJ sparkled from day one. He endured bad quarterback play, bad coaching, and coaching changes. He played through injury after injury. His senior year, he was the only reason Clemson won the division and almost won the ACC Championship. He is THE player who showed all the rest what could be done at Clemson. And to our good fortune, he has been a role model alumni.
Oh...also, he was the best player on the field against who ever we were playing that day. Just imagine the 2009 season without CJ...it ain't good.

He single handily carried us the whole 2009 season. And to do what he did on a nagging turf toe injury all season was incredible. I remember reading reports that he wouldn't practice all week until the friday walkthroughs. He's still best player to come through Clemson imo.

Other than maybe SW, he's the only one that truly could take it to the house on any given play. The way he made defenders look absolutely silly was just not human. I still go back and watch highlights of him every now and then

Hard to make an argument opposing CJ. He could bust a run for a TD , a punt , kick off or catch a pass and we all knew , when the first guy missed ,he was gone. It was a beautiful thing.

I totally agree your offensive players, and keith and Simmons were great players. But not sure about game changers. Gains Adams took games on his back and won them . maybe Brian Dawkins? William perry.

changed the entire University in untold ways......
From changing "Clemson College"" to "Clemson University", to peaceful integration, to suing the Federal gov't over Lake Hartwell plans to overtake half of campus, to the introduction of the Tiger Paw. And many other things in between.
Clemson wouldn't be anywhere close to what it is today without RC.
