McAshan could well be the key factor "I could sense in practice late in the week that there was a new spirit a new unity envolving our entire football squad I believe it was reflected in our victory over Clemson today" Carson said after the Jackets' second victory in four outings Maybe they rallied behind Eddie" "Our boys knew bow much we needed this victory and they dedicated themselves to it all week I don't want to single out individuals except to say that Eddie McAshan had his best game as a Tech varsity player" A 43yard return to Jeff (The Jet) Ford after the Jackets stopped Clemson on the Tigers' first series of downs set up Tech's first score with 9:30 left in the first quarter McAshan a deft scrambler was looking for Studdard in the end one but had to run for his life when the Tiger secondary cut off all passing channels He picked up a crucial block from halfback Brent Cunningham and squirmed in The next time Tech had possession McAshan engineered a 41-yard drive that was culminated by Greg Home's one-yard to leap with 2:34 left in the quarter A rout appeared in the making But Clemson wasn't about to give up then A 52-yard punt return by Don Kelley gave the winless Tigers possession at the Tech 33 and a new spirit In five plays the visitors were on the board Smiley Sanders covering the final five yards Clemson's defense caught fire and for most of the second

away and McAshan only bad 1:54 before lie guided the Jackets to a near perfection score calling his own number from the two and scoring At the half Clemson seemed out of the contest trailing 21-7 Clemson had two chances to score in the final quarter after a Tech field goal but couldn't penetrate the 'Yellow Jacket defense McAshan fumbled at the Tech 16 with 2:25 left but the Jacket defense held and all the Tigers had to comfort them was the thoughts of a valiant efiort For Clemson coach Ingram it was a disappointing loss "I was disappointed in the way some of our players performed today" Ingram said "Our tackling left a lot to be desired "Coach hank Crisp at Alabama used to tell us it was 90 per cent desire and 10 per cent coaching They are going to get my 10 per cent next week
