Definitely 2017 Natty.... it was a bloody war. They tried like hell to put DW4 out of the game, but he kept getting up and eventually polished Bama off.

Agree that was best game ever. 2. First Natty v. Nebraska. Homer was just good enough. 3. Jerry Butler catch v. USCJr.

Clemson v Maryland 1978 with Dwight Clark helping the Tigers to a 28-24 victory. I got so tied up in the game that I missed one of my good friend's wedding nuptials, however we did make the reception libations.

1. Natty in Tampa.
2. 1987 Georgia. Safety to cut it to 2. Last second field goal to win.
3. Notre Dame in the rain.

The 1981 National Championship will always be the greatest because we were so small and HUGE underdogs against the giant powerhouse Nebraska!
It was unbelievable for most Clemson fans, 2015 against Alabama was awesome, 2016 the comeback we knew we were going to win well before the Hunter Renfrow pass because they had it & Deshaun is the best competitor ever!

That’s a great one. I had just been watching football for about 4 years (age 11), but knew the Tigers were huge underdogs to mighty Nebraska. 2017 was incredible due to the finish though everybody knew Clemson had a chance due to the year before.

The domination games against Ohio St. and Notre Dame.
The one's I think that are close to my heart are the games Clemson has won against Miami......the trap Clemson set for Auburn with the Tahj Boyd to Dwayne Allen and Sammy Watkins combinations......the wins against Florida St.......the back and forth battle with Georgia.... even they had to take a peek.......the win over a over hyped Texas A&M team when they had Kellen Mond........the wins against Alabama........Peach Bowl against Tennessee...........and of course anything over Chickenlina.

November 21st, 1976 Clemson vs the SCAR lamecocks. I sat on the 2 yard line, 1st row. We were 2-6-2 and we a huge underdog to the 6-4 lamecocks who needed a win to go to the Peach Bowl. We forced 5 turnovers--many at the goal line. I feel that I personally helped confuse lamecock QB Bass by screaming so loudly. I will never forget how incredibly loud Death Valley was that day. You could not hear the person beside you speaking. I miss those types of games! We won 28-9 and I feel that game set us off on the winning culture of the 1980s.

I enjoyed the Gator Bowl with Charlie Bowman, and the Orange Bowl natty. But there are many others.

Agree about the 1966 Virginia game. It was my first game at Clemson as a freshman. I believe the Tigers were down by 17 going into the 4th Qtr. and had never lost to Virginia in football. Jimmy "The Needle" Addison (QB @ 150 lbs) led the comeback along with Buddy Gore & Jackie Jackson. Addison was named the National Player of the Week in one poll & Davis (UVa QB) was named the Player of the Week in the other poll. Needless to say, I was hooked on Clemson Football!!

I forgot the 66 Virginia game until now. Awesome game and I was 12 and watched from the hill as Jackie Jackson caught the pass in front of our bench and outran everyone for the score. I have seen way too many great games so even picking a Top 10 would be impossible.

Easy. Watching Steve Fuller hit Jerry Butler with "the catch" to beat the chickens in Columbia in 1977.

My youngest daughter was born during that Fiesta Bowl, just before Etienne took that screen to the house from about 50 yards out. My wife insisted that we keep the game on in the delivery room and we only missed a few plays.

If you watch the Natty vs Nebraska on youtube you will see vestiges of DW4 and Mike Williams. My vote goes to this game.
