Clemson tiger mascot hero, football game, subbed in after backups injured, underdog victory, triumphant, energetic sports anthem, crowd cheering, heroic turnaround

Lyrics

Intro

(Go Tigers, go)

Yeah, Death Valley shakin'

Orange and purple, hearts breakin'

(Go Tigers, roar)

Verse

Down by ten in the fourth, clock tickin' slow

Starters hit the turf, one by one they go

QB's arm hangin', limp like a broken string

RBs twisted ankles, LBs can't even swing

Coaches pacin' sidelines, panic in the air

No backups left standin', nightmare everywhere

Crowd holdin' breath, rivals laughin' loud

Then the ref looks over, points to the tiger in the crowd

"YOU! Get in there!" Helmet on, stripes gleamin'

Paws grippin' the pigskin, eyes laser-beamin'

Chorus

Sub in the Tiger! (Roar!) Hear the valley explode

Claws out, fangs flashin', takin' full control

Pounce on the goal line, touchdown, feel the ground shake

Clemson Tiger hero, no mistake! (No mistake!)

Sub in the Tiger! (Yuh!) Every play a thrill

From mascot to legend, what a kill! (What a kill!)

Orange blood pumpin', purple pride on fire

Tiger's in the game, takin' it higher! (Higher!)

Verse

First snap, he dodges three, spins like a whirlwind storm

Bulldozes the D-line, leavin' 'em torn

Fakes left, jukes right, crowd on their feet screamin'

"Tiger! Tiger!" Chant risin', stadium dreamin'

Interception off a tip, he scoops and he scores

Rivals helmets flyin', can't take no more

Two-minute drill, no huddle, paws pumpin' fast

Blitz comin' hard, but he trucks 'em past

Game on the line, fourth and goal, no fear in his growl

Leaps over the pile—boom!—victory howl!

Chorus

Sub in the Tiger! (Roar!) Hear the valley explode

Claws out, fangs flashin', takin' full control

Pounce on the goal line, touchdown, feel the ground shake

Clemson Tiger hero, no mistake! (No mistake!)

Sub in the Tiger! (Yuh!) Every play a thrill

From mascot to legend, what a kill! (What a kill!)

Orange blood pumpin', purple pride on fire

Tiger's in the game, takin' it higher! (Higher!)

Bridge

No more backups, no more doubt (rah-rah-rah!)

Tiger steps up, turns it all about (woo!)

Paws to the sky, trophy in sight

Clemson forever, roar through the night! (Roar! Roar!)

Chorus

Sub in the Tiger! (Roar!) Hear the valley explode

Claws out, fangs flashin', takin' full control

Pounce on the goal line, touchdown, feel the ground shake

Clemson Tiger hero, no mistake! (No mistake!)

Sub in the Tiger! (Yuh! Yuh!) Every play a thrill

From mascot to legend, what a kill! (What a kill! What a kill!)

Outro

(Go Tigers, roar)

Tiger hero, yeah! (Yeah!)

Death Valley forever! (Forever!)

Roar... roar... (fade out)
