So maybe it wasn't surprising that the Clemson coach, Ken Hatfield, decided to shake things up today.

"We're expecting a pretty tough game," said Jim Davis, the Clemson coach.

"They made it hard for us in the post area and made some great blocks," said Barnes, the former Providence and Clemson coach.

The N.C.A.A. said a Clemson coach gave a player up to $150 on two occasions and told him to distribute the money to selected players.

"I don't think I can be disappointed with any phase of our football team," the Clemson coach, Danny Ford, said.

His joy ended, if only temporarily, when he saw Cliff Ellis, the Clemson coach.

Lewis says the Clemson coach rushed up to Oher's coach, saying, "I seen all I need to see," and added that Oher could have a full scholarship.

The Clemson coach, Cliff Ellis, was impressed by the Wildcats.

"Any time you get down like we did against a team as good as Wake, it's hard to fight back, but we did," said Rick Barnes, the Clemson coach.

"North Carolina must be the favorite, because they beat us twice," said I. M. Ibrahim, the Clemson coach.
