South Carolina’s Elliott looks to future after 37-32 loss
In the end, however, it was Deshaun Watson’s will that lifted the Tigers. Watson made one big play after another, including converting 9 of 12 third downs in which he had a hand in the play. There were a few plays here and there that could’ve went another way.
“The way he has led this football team has been absolutely incredible to watch it and the way the team responded”. I don’t fault our coaches.
The Gamecocks shot over 50 percent for the third straight game by connecting on 51.5 percent (34-for-66) from the field.
The turnover bug continued to hurt the Clemson offense and the Tigers turned the ball over up 28-17.
“He missed some throws”.
Really, after a play like that, is there anything else you can really do?
The Carolina-Clemson Blood Drive is held annually the week before the rivalry game and comes at the start of the holiday season, when blood donations typically decrease. The talent is there on defense with LB Skai Moore, the team’s leading tackler, LB T.J Holloman, and Safety T.J Gurley. Don’t get rattled, just stay comfortable, stay poised and that’s what we did. “It’s fun and it’s what we work for, what we play the game for”.
All that, however, would change in the second quarter. That was followed three plays later by Watson scoring on a 3-yard run.
If they win the game, he gets another $100,000 for that accomplishment. “They found a bad spot in the defense”. Current score is still 0-0 in the first quarter. Fuller four-yard score.
“I’m not even thinking about that”, Elliott said when asked his thoughts on retaining the position. “One of their staples was half of their shots are three-pointers”. Scott had another potential fumble that was ruled down by contact and reviewed. Orth connected with Samuel once more with a second remaining to set the final margin.
“Practices were kind of slow and it took time for us to get our momentum going practice”, Chatkevicius said.
But Clemson wouldn’t go away. When the Gamecocks came out of that meeting, Elliott saw a different, more determined look in their eyes.
Saturday’s show is features music by native SC musicians.
700 Games have been won by Clemson, which reached the milestone with a 33-13 victory over Wake Forest last week.
As a team, Ohio State out-rushed the Wolverines 371-57, pounding out an even seven yards a carry while limiting MI to 2.28. Greg Huegel’s extra point attempt, however, would fail.
“He was unbelievable again”, Tigers head coach Dabo Swinney said. The best they can hope for is that they preserved it for another week. He is certainly a great player. “I think the players are a reflection of those who are coaching them”. “He keeps grinding and he makes good decisions”.
Adam Griffith kicked an Iron Bowl-record and career-high five field goals, including four in a touchdown-free first half as the Crimson Tide led 12-6 at the break. He had 191 yards, 11 catches, one touchdown. He’s only been sacked…14 times all year out of 12 games. SC entered 3-8 and was fresh off a loss to the Citadel under interim coach Shawn Elliott.
The Tigers fumbled three times against the Gamecocks and lost them all. It is the most victories in a four-year period in Clemson history. “Definitely not satisfied with it. Can’t be with 3-9”.
“We either bleed garnet or orange in this state but we can see that through music we can come together and do something that’s important to all of us and that we all care about”, Cannon tells ABC Columbia.
