Today’s photo is of Clemson Head Coach Charley Pell being carried off the field in Athens after the Tigers defeated Georgia in 1977.
If one game can change a program’s direction, the 1977 Georgia game in Athens did just that for the Clemson.
Steve Fuller had a tough first half completing just one of six passes. Clemson’s only score came in the third quarter.
A Fuller to Jerry Butler hookup put the ball at the Bulldog 23. Two plays later and facing a third-and-10, Fuller hit Dwight Clark for a 17-yard gain to the six. Lester Brown punched the ball in from three yards out and the Tigers led 7-0.
Trivia Question
After the win, a famous writer from Georgia wrote the following: “Pell sat on the floor and cried. He is 36-years-old, but he sat on the floor and cried. He didn’t sob. He cried like a man cries when he sits back down in the pew after giving his only daughter in marriage.” Who wrote this about Pell?
