On This Date: 1995 Clemson- 43 NC State- 22

Raleigh, NC

State 'Man Handled' By Clemson 43-22

Clemson gave up over 500 yards total offense to the Pack, but still won 43-22. Leomont Evans tied a Clemson single game record with three interceptions. The Tigers, with first year defensive backs coach Charlie Harbison, had six interceptions in the game to tie a Clemson record.



Late Saturday afternoon, Mike O'Cain came once again and stood on a podium in a room filled with writers and broadcasters. For what seemed a long time, he looked only into the distance, his thin face appearing more drawn, more lined than usual.

Saturday afternoon, N.C. State was manhandled by a Clemson team in a game in which the Tigers were favored, but only barely. It was a case of men against some big boys. And it came as no surprise to O'Cain.




Clemson defenders said when the game had ended that while they had not expected six interceptions on the day, Tiger coaches had picked up a Harvey tendency that made their jobs easier and Harvey's day longer.



Brian Dawkins, Clemson's strong safety who had one of the six interceptions, said it's in the eyes. He said that Harvey is an expert at looking at one receiver, turning to another and then coming back to his original target. He does it again and again, Dawkins was saying.

``When he does that, the tendency is to break off your guy and try to get to the second man he's looked at,' Dawkins said. ``But today, we stayed with our receivers. When he'd come back to a receiver, we'd still be there.'



It may not be as simple as that, given yet another tendency. College football players are inclined to embellish. But O'Cain understands the reality.

``You can't turn it around in a week,' he said. ``Sometimes you can't even turn it around in a year.' We therefore are left to question how far back the journey now may be for State.
