No. 3 Clemson Rolls By Wake Forest 82-24 NY Times / AP Published: November 1, 1981
CLEMSON, S.C., Oct. 31— Chuck McSwain ran for 90 yards and three touchdowns today as unbeaten Clemson defeated Wake Forest, 82-24. Clemson won its eighth game and scored more points than any other team in Atlantic Coast Conference history; the previous record was set in 1954 when Maryland beat Missouri, 74-13.
Clemson scored on all but two possessions, and had 49 points by Halftime. The Tigers set a team record for total offense, gaining more than 750 yards. Cliff Austin scored two of Clemson's touchdowns, on runs of 4 and 3 yards. Clemson's longest scoring effort came on the first play of second half, when the quarterback Homer Jordan connected with Perry Tuttle for a 75-yard touchdown. Later, Tuttle caught another touchdown pass from Jordan, this one a 25-yarder.

My very first game too. South upper deck (the only upper deck at that time I believe). I remember it vividly even now.

I was a 6 year old and though I'd been taken to games before, it's the first game I can still remember. I remember wondering why the score was so crazy and I actually asked my dad if there was some penalty that could happen that would give them 50 points and should I be worried.

Third team FB ran 75-80 yards for a TD while I think they were just trying to run out the last several minutes on the clock. Was sitting in my seats in UR-F-22&24 which I had from the '75 season thru the 2007 season.
