It marked just the seventh time in school history that Clemson finished the regular season having won eight-ofits-last-12 ACC games and just the second time in the last 29 years. ? It is just the fourth time Clemson finished the regular season having won four-of-its-last-five ACC games, and again, just the second time in the last 29 years. ? This marks just the third time in history that Clemson has done both in the same year ? the first time in 29 years. ? The last time Clemson ended the regular season having won 8-of-12 ACC games and four-of-the-last-five, was 1989-90, the year Clemson won the ACC regular season title. ? The first year Clemson did both was 1966-67 when the Tigers won seven-of-its-last-eight games of the regular season.
