Clemson rolls past Coastal Carolina 49-3

By PETE IACOBELLI AP Sports Writer

CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) - Jacoby Ford caught a touchdown and threw for his first career score as Clemson won its third straight game, beating Coastal Carolina 49-3 on Saturday.

The Tigers (5-3) made headlines a week ago and star C.J. Spiller had a record 310 all-purpose yards to run his way into the Heisman Trophy race in a 40-37 overtime win at then-No. 8 Miami.

And even though Spiller played little more than a quarter, Clemson easily put away the Chanticleers (3-5) to move to 23-0 against Football Championship Subdivision teams.

Ford, the NCAA 60-meter indoor track champion, pretty much put this one out of reach by himself. He hauled in a 36-yard pass in the end zone for Clemson's first score, then followed with a nifty toss of his own to a wide-open Xavier Dye on the Tigers next drive.
