On This Date: 1987 (8)Clemson- 21 (18)Georgia- 20


Sep 19, 2017, 8:57 AM

Today marks the 30 Year Anniversary of Treadwell II

09/19/1987
Clemson, SC:

Treadwell did it again, this time in Death Valley. The Dawgs came into the game undefeated (2-0) and ranked #18 in the country. Not to be outdone, the Tigers also sported a perfect 2-0 record and a #8 national ranking. 82,000 fans bore witness as the Tigers rode a punishing defense, timely rushing attack, and the leg of kicker David Treadwell to a thrilling 21-20 victory.









Down 20-18 late in the 4th quarter, Clemson's all-time winning-est quarterback Rodney Williams drove the Tigers down to the Georgia five, and David Treadwell broke the Dawgs' hearts for the second year in a row and hit the game winner. The game propelled Clemson to a 10-2 ACC Championship season and #11 final ranking.

Maybe one of the best games I've ever attended. I expected Dooley to call a timeout at the end to ice Treadwell, but it was still not for the faint of heart.

I remember what set-up that game winning field goal was a defensive stand with Georgia backed-up in its own end zone where we stopped them for safety. The Georgia coaches called a running play out of the end zone and the QB (Jackson?) couldn't get it out of the end zone after being hit by several Tigers.

That took the score from 16 - 20 to 18 - 20 and set-up the game winning field goal attempt.

That year's defense was also pretty stout (ask Penn State).
