South Carolina Gamecocks vs. Clemson Tigers, recap and final score: Gamecocks

This is typically a great rivalry between evenly matched teams, but SC might not even be the second-best team in the state after losing to The Citadel last week. Each band will perform one song solo before joining together with a number honoring the Emanuel 9 and a SC Strong finale.

South Carolina’s defense made its presence felt in the first quarter.

That didn’t stop against Clemson as he broke out garnet helmets for the team, something that hasn’t happened since Lou Holtz was running the program.

MI (9-3, 6-2 Big Ten) now has a month-plus with which to reconcile a season that looked and played much better than a Brady Hoke season, but offers a very similar result.

If I may, let me critique one thing: leave that “hit the dab” to Cam Newton. Clemson had three fumbles against SC. In all Clemson, rushed for 236 yards.

Deon Cain caught a touchdown pass for the fifth straight game, the only Tiger to have a receiving touchdown in five straight. Watson had flawless protection on that deep ball.

No. 19 MISSISSIPPI 38, NO. 23 MISSISSIPPI STATE 27: In Starkville, Mississippi, Chad Kelly threw for 236 yards and two touchdowns and ran for another score to lead Mississippi.

But it was still a five-point game, 62-57 until SC went on an 18-3 run with just over ten minutes remaining to stretch the lead to 76-60. The high note for South Carolina’s offense is Pharoh Cooper, who has once again been the force behind the passing game with 62 catches and seven scores to his name.

For the Tigers, there have been plenty of touchdowns this season and they are hoping to keep the winning streak going. It led to another TD and a tight fourth quarter. His second touchdown run of the game put Clemson up 21-3.

The South Carolina Gamecocks have the nation’s top defense, with a defensive rating of 99.2. Can they dig deep and play one more game for their teammates, school and themselves with the deck completely stacked against them? The Tigers also have given up the fewest first downs via passes at 67.

Linebackers B.J. Goodson and Ben Boulware have been stalwarts in the middle, filling the void left by National Football League first-round pick Stephone Anthony.

Sophomore forward Diego Compos may return after missing last week’s second-round win, and junior defender Aaron Jones, who missed the first half of the season, is getting back to “full fitness”, Noonan said.

Clemson players want to get it once more in the regular season before chasing the ACC and national titles. He ran 21 times for 114 yards and three TDs.

Overall, this was not an inspiring performance by this unit, especially considering the competition, but it didn’t cost the Tigers the game – for another week.
