Ben Anderson finally lost his battle to cancer..He was a great student-athlete at Clemson..He played football in the early seventies at Clemson. He won the Norris Award-given to the most outstanding undergraduate at Clemson. He later returned to his alma mater and served as Chief Legal Counsel for Clemson University..A Great Clemson man!

Clemson football was struggling mightily and hard nosed over-achievers like Ben Anderson were the guys that made being a Clemson fan something to continue to brag about in spite of the won/loss record.
Rest in peace Ben Anderson ... you were one of the good ones.
