Littlejohn Hosts Top 10 Battle

It has been over ten years since Clemson has been involved in a game of this magnitude so early in the season. Clemson and Wake Forest will square off with first place in the ACC on the line this Saturday. These two teams have rarely been tested this year. If either team fails to show up, it will get ugly. There is too much talent on the floor for a close one if either team is off of their usual game.

I think the one area that Wake Forest has an advantage is that they have been in big games in their history. This is rare air for Clemson. Tiger fan's can only hope that this Clemson team will not fold under the pressure of this game. If Clemson can get out of the blocks quickly, scores often, and forces Wake Forest to face the press, they might get flustered. 

No matter what happens Tiger fans can expect a packed house and a fired up crowd. This game will be Clemson's first measuring stick in conference. It won't be long until Tiger fans know if Oliver Purnell and the boys are "for real" this season. 

Lightning Strikes Again

Spiller will return for his senior year. More updates to follow.

Spiller To Announce Intent Tomorrow

It looks more and more like C.J. Spiller will exit Tiger Town a year early. I have felt all along that his decision would hinge on two key areas, Mom and faith. I am sure he weighed all his options and while he is yet to announce his decision, it appears he may leave. 

Spiller will most likely be drafted in the second round and stands to make a nice salary in the NFL. Spiller has a rare combination of elusiveness and speed. Chris Johnson of the Tennessee Titans is probably a great example of what C.J. Spiller will bring to an NFL team. 

In the end, no matter his decision, C.J. Spiller will undoubtedly end his career as the most electrifying running back in Clemson history. His signing with Clemson instantly added credibility to a growing program. It will be a shame to not see Spiller sporting the #28 next year in Death Valley. 

Legit?

Clemson will have it's chance to show whether they are a team to
contend with over the next few weeks.

It all starts next Saturday against Wake. If Clemson can win that one,
they would head into Chapel Hill 17-0.

Victory Formation

The Tigers get it done 19-12.

Clemson 19 - Nebraska 12

Nebraska needed a great drive with 1:39 left in the game.
Unfortunately, the Tigers picked up a safety and now lead by 7.

17-12 Tigers

Clemson had a huge stop by Bowers at the end of the third quarter. The
Tigers will have to play well to close out the Cornhuskers.
