(16)Clemson - 45 NC State - 37 October 13th, 2001 Raleigh, NC
RALEIGH, North Carolina (Ticker) -- Woodrow Dantzler set a school record by accounting for six touchdowns as 16th-ranked Clemson outscored Atlantic Coast Conference foe North Carolina State, 45-37.
The 5-11 quarterback, who also established a record for total yards, threw four touchdown passes and added two scores on the ground to help the Tigers (4-1, 2-1 ACC) explode offensively for the second straight game.
For the record, Dantzler: - Opened the scoring with a 55-yard touchdown run in the first quarter; - Threw a 10-yard scoring pass to Derrick Hamilton in the second to tie the game at 14-14; - Tossed another touchdown, this time 7 yards to Ben Hall, for a 21-14 lead later in the QTR - Found Travis Zachery open for a 22-yard touchdown for a 28-17 lead early in the third quarter; - Scored on an 8-yard run later in the period for a 35-17 advantage; - Threw 4 yards to Jasmin in the final minute of the third period for Clemson's final TD
In its last outing on September 29, Clemson posted a wild 47-44 overtime victory against Georgia Tech. The Tigers are averaging 35 points per contest.
Dantzler threw TD passes of 10, seven, 22 and four yards and ran for scores of 55 and eight yards. He compiled 517 total yards, the fifth-highest total in ACC history and the best mark in school annals.
"I thought our offensive play calling kept them offbalance most of the day," Clemson coach Tommy Bowden said. "We had some good blocking by our offensive line and had some key catches by our receivers.
The 517 yards surpassed his own previous record of 434 set last season and his six TDs broke the mark of five held by Stumpy Banks (1917) and Maxcey Welch (1930), who both did all their scoring on the ground.
"He makes so many plays. He is just a phenemonal athlete," Bowden said. "If you give him enough at-bats he'll eventually hit the home run."
Dantzler was an efficient 23-of-27 for 333 yards without not being picked off and carried 23 times for 184 yards, a total that might have been greater if not for two sacks.
North Carolina State (3-2, 1-2) has dropped two of its last three games.
Dantzler's last TD of the game came in the final minute of the third quarter when he hit Chad Jasmin for a four-yard touchdown that gave the Tigers a seemingly commanding 42-23 advantage. But the Wolfpack battled back.
Philip Rivers, who had four TD passes of his own and threw for over 300 yards, hit Bryan Peterson for a 15-yard score just over two minutes into the final quarter.
After a 31-yard field goal by Clemson's Aaron Hunt, Rivers and Willie Wright hooked up on a 12-yard TD with 2:57 remaining. Rivers then found Ray Robinson for the two-point conversion.
However, that was the last time N.C. State threatened.
"We still aren't making the plays we should," North Carolina State coach Chuck Amato said. "We're still dropping passes. We've got to be able to make the big plays as well as the easy ones."
The two teams combined for 919 total yards -- 567 by Clemson -- in a game that last five minutes short of four hours.
Rivers completed 24 of his 46 pass attempts for 310 yards and was intercepted once. Peterson hauled in six receptions for 120 yards. the same game.
