Only Alabama has made more appearances (5) in that time frame.• Clemson is coming off its first win in Atlanta over Georgia Tech since the 2003 season. The Tigers beat the Yellow Jackets 26-7 last Thursday, and did so by limiting Tech’s high-powered option offense to a record-low 124 yards.• Jordan Leggett matched the Clemson tight end record with his 12th touchdown reception last time out. With one more, he will move ahead of John Mcmakin, Dwayne Allen and Brandon Ford in the record books.
