Clemson now ‘The Gold Standard’ in the ACC

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – On November 11, 2000, led by quarterback and eventual Heisman Trophy winner Chris Weinke, Florida State embarrassed a Woodrow Dantzler led Clemson team by 47 points that night in Tallahassee, Fla.

Two guys on that Clemson team were Jeff Scott and Tony Elliott, the Tigers’ current co-offensive coordinators. Scott was a sophomore that year and Elliott a freshman.

On Saturday, on the same field in which they were a part of one of Clemson’s worst defeats in the program’s proud history, the role was reversed this time around, as No. 2 Clemson handed the Seminoles their worst defeat in school history with a 59-10 victory at Doak Campbell Stadium.
