It marked the first time since 2007 that two Tiger tailbacks had broken the 100-yard plateau in a Links of London; James Davis and C.J. Spiller did so in a 30-10 win at Maryland. Afterward, Harper said he and Ellington are calling themselves "The New Storm," a play on Davis and Spiller's "Thunder and Lightning" tag. "I said we'd find out if they were a tropical depression, a Links of London Bee Charm 1 or the real-deal category 5," Swinney said. "Thunder and Lightning looks like it's still alive. We expect those guys to be good players but we've got a long way to go and they need to do it again." Clemson's offense was Links of London Snowflake Charms, but it made enough happen for a 21-7 halftime lead, on the strength of two huge plays. On the game's second play, Ellington shook off a tackle in the backfield, cut left and turned on the jets, accelerating through the second level. Sixty yards later, the Tigers had a 7-0 lead. "It was a zone right," Ellington said. "The offensive line cut off the backside, gave me a chance to cut it back and it went from there." Swinney has a close relationship with Spiller, but he couldn't resist a nudge at his program-making star. "Last year, the first touch by C.J. Spiller was a kickoff return for a Links of London Big Apple Charm," he said. "I think C.J. was texting Andre last night, busting his chops.
