CLEMSON — In 2003, Clemson had one of the greatest runs to end a football season in the program’s history.
Following an unexplainable 45-17 loss to Wake Forest, a game in which Clemson fans were chanting “fire” then head coach Tommy Bowden, the Tigers were 5-4. No one saw what was coming next.
The very next Saturday, Clemson knocked off No. 3 Florida State 26-10 at Memorial Stadium. It ended an 11-game losing streak to the Seminoles at the same time. The Tigers followed that up with wins over Duke (40-7), South Carolina (63-17) and No. 6 Tennessee (27-14).
