Career Day for Zimmerman
Dawson Zimmerman had his best day as a Tiger against North Texas. Zimmerman had six punts for 308 yards for a 51.3 yard average. That was the fourth best day in Clemson history and the best in 27 years. He allowed just three returns for a net punting average of 50.8 an all-time Clemson record. Also Zimmerman’s 79 yard punt was the second longest in Clemson history.

Parker Moving Up
Kyle Parker has played in only 15 games, but has 22 touchdown passes. That moved Kyle into a tie for eighth place with Steve Fuller. Charlie Whitehurst holds the Clemson record with 49.
Swinney Now 14-8 With Tigers
With the 35-10 win over North Texas Dabo Swinney moved to 14-8 as head coach of the Clemson Tigers.
