Clemson vs. Virginia Tech: As we get set for the 2016 version of this matchup in the ACC Football Championship Game, take a look back at the extended highlights from the 2011 edition. Tajh Boyd, Sammy Watkins, Andre Ellington, DeAndre Hopkins, Dwayne Allen, and a stingy defense led the Tigers to the title.

The Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) is a collegiate athletic conference in the United States in which its fifteen member universities compete in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA's) Division I, with its football teams competing in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS), the highest levels for athletic competition in US-based collegiate sports. The ACC sponsors competition in twenty-five sports with many of its member institutions' athletic programs held in high regard nationally. ACC teams and athletes have claimed dozens of national championships in multiple sports throughout the conference's history. Generally, the ACC's top athletes and teams in any particular sport in a given year are considered to be among the top collegiate competitors in the nation. The ACC is considered to be one of the six collegiate power conferences, all of which enjoy extensive media coverage and automatic qualifying for their football champion into the Bowl Championship Series (BCS). With the advent of the College Football Playoff in 2014, the ACC will be one of five conferences with a contractual tie-in to an "access bowl", the successors to the BCS.
Founded in 1953 in Greensboro, North Carolina, by seven universities located in the South Atlantic States, the conference added additional members in late 1953, 1979, 1991, 2004, and 2013. The 2004 and 2013 additions extended the conference's footprint into the Northeast and Midwest. The most recent expansion in 2013 saw the additions of the University of Notre Dame, the University of Pittsburgh, and Syracuse University. In 2012, the University of Maryland's Board of Regents voted to withdraw from the ACC to join the Big Ten Conference. On November 28, 2012, the ACC's Council of Presidents voted unanimously to invite the University of Louisville as a full member, replacing Maryland.

[@Numb3rs40]

Probably the most talented team Clemson ever had despite the record. Just imagine if we had Brent Venables as DC that year

[@jasonwzrd1569]

Numb3rs40 Not even close. Clemson is more talented, especially at Oline and Dline.

[@jasonwzrd1569]

More talented now*

[@JacksonPM23]

Uh what? Boyd was trash, and that defense was terrible. Venables helped the D obviously, but it was just as much recruiting.

[@ekibirigeable]

@@JacksonPM23 Tajh Boyd STILL holds the ACC record for touchdown passes, ahead of guys like Phillip Rivers and Russell Wilson!

[@ballzinyourjaws168]

Well 4 years later Clemson is a dynasty

[@buzzcitymob6230]

James Davis and CJ Spiller were definitely big contributors to me following Clemson but make no mistake Sammy Watkins was the guy that got me watching every single Saturday. Never thought they would come as far as they have.

[@johngarrett9310]

Damn. Whey we're number 5 at that time. I didn't know they were ever that good. I was only in 4th grade in this season

[@McGrady412]

John Garrett Prior to the sugar bowl loss to Michigan, VT's two losses that year were to Clemson.

[@bamfchristopherlee6980]

McGrady Productions Danny Coale caught that ball, idc what anyone says.

[@Kennyarnold16]

Sammy Watkins!!!!!

[@Greatwhodini]

The day the coastal division died

[@HockeyHotline]

Greatwhodini Yup

[@willsharpe8844]

True

[@ThisIsGonnaBFine]

Gentlemen, if You think Saturday is gonna mirror this game.....You're Sadly Mistaken! GO HOKIES!!!

[@KosSports]

ThisIsGonnaBFine you're right. It's gonna be 45-10 instead 😂😂😂

[@davisnau3776]

Clemson is the dame team now as they were in 2011. Se coach, same offense. VT has a different coach and offense. As a VT i think Tech has a more than 15% chance. Bu should bea great game. Great to see the top 2 fanbases in the ACC meet

[@davisnau3776]

same team, same coach

[@davisnau3776]

as a vt fan

[@davisnau3776]

sorry for typos

[@McGrady412]

Davis Nau yea, God, keep GT out of the ACC Championship.

[@mrtron1850]

Davis, no way. Clemson's defense now is light years ahead of the one in 2011. The QB and OL are both better than in 2011 as well.

[@noelclarkson3932]

watson my brother

[@ethan-rk3jk]

Noel Clarkson why you always lying

[@gatorbodine2011]
