Clemson Set to Host Relief Drive Around Tigerama, Football Game Saturday
Clemson will await the return of one of its native sons on Saturday, Oct. 19 when the Tigers host Virginia Head Coach Tony Elliott and his 4-2 Cavaliers. Kickoff at Memorial Stadium in Clemson is scheduled for noon ET. Elliott played wide receiver at Clemson from 1999- 2003 and was a team captain of the 2003 squad for which Dabo Swinney served as Elliott’s position coach in Swinney’s first year at Clemson.
Elliott later served 11 years as an assistant coach at Clemson from 2011- 21, helping the Tigers to a 130-21 record in his tenure. On Saturday, Elliott will become the 15th head coach all-time to face Clemson after having previously coached the Tigers in either a head coaching or assistant coaching capacity. He will become the fourth former Clemson player to face the Tigers as a head coach, joining Jules Carson (Wofford), Bobby Johnson (Furman) and Mike O’Cain (NC State).
Prior to this week’s game, Clemson will honor one of the greatest players in program history when it formally unveils C.J. Spiller’s spot in the Clemson Ring of Honor on Memorial Stadium’s facade right before kickoff
