In the second installment of my choices for Clemson's all-time football team, I present my case for the starting offense. Enjoy the rich Clemson tradition that permeates this potent offensive unit.
In case you missed it, you can find my defensive selections here:
Last Installment—All-Time Clemson Team: Defense
Next Installment—All-Time Clemson Team: Special Teams and Honorable Mention
Now for the starting offense.
Quarterback: Steve Fuller
There may be guys in Clemson history with more impressive numbers, but the numbers don’t always tell the whole story. Guys like Woody Dantzler and Charlie Whitehurst put up bigger yardage numbers, but Steve Fuller was the quintessential QB. He led the 1978 Tigers to a No. 6 national ranking and remains Clemson’s only All-American quarterback.
Tailback: Banks McFadden (Captain)
Few remain alive that saw Banks McFadden play college ball, but he remains a legend in Clemson lore. He is widely recognized as the greatest Clemson football player and all-around athlete the school has ever seen.
McFadden was named an All-American in both football and basketball in 1939, in addition to littering the Clemson record books as a passer, runner, punter, and defensive back. He remains the highest drafted player in Clemson history at No. 4 and led the NFL in yards per carry his one year in the league.
