Kinsler and Douthit were both injured.[16] The Tigers rolled up a 51\u20130 score on South Carolina.Georgia[edit]Clemson at Georgia 12Total\u2022  Clemson112839 Georgia505Before the game with Georgia, students in the dorms barraged Clemson players with bits of coal. Clemson went on to beat the Bulldogs for the first time,[17] pulling away in the second half to overwhelm the Bulldogs 39\u20135,[15][18] and achieve the season’s first great victory.[19]The starting lineup was Bellows (left end), Dickerson (left tackle), George (left guard) Kinsley (center), Woodward (right guard), Walker (right tackle), Lynah (right end), Lewis (quarterback), Forsyth (left halfback), Hunt (right halfback), Douthit (fullback).[18][19]V.

The Tigers won 35\u20130. Clemson back Claude Douthit scored four touchdowns.[23]After the Tigers forced an Alabama punt to open the game, Douthit scored three consecutive touchdowns for Clemson en route to an 18\u20130 lead. Douthit scored first on a 5-yard run, next on a short reception and finally on a second short touchdown run. M. N. Hunter then scored for Clemson on a long run just before the break and made the halftime score 23\u20130.[24] In the second half, the Tigers extended their lead to 35\u20130 behind a long Jim Lynah touchdown run and Douthit’s fourth score of the day on a short run.[24] With approximately four minutes left in the game, both team captains agreed to end the game early due to an unruly crowd and impending darkness.[24]Postseason[edit]  The Tigers ended the season with the outright SIAA title.[25]  It was both Clemson and Heisman’s first conference championship and undefeated, untied season.[n 1] The season saw “the rise of Clemson from a little school whose football teams had never been heard of before, to become a football machine of the very first power.”[27]Players[edit]Depth chart[edit]The following chart provides a visual depiction of Clemson’s lineup during the 1900 season.
