COLUMBIA, S.C. — The Clemson Tigers are all about coming through in the fourth quarter. On Saturday, however, both teams came up big in the second quarter of the Tigers’ 28-14 victory over rival South Carolina at Williams-Brice Stadium.
In the annual Clemson-Carolina matchup, things started off slowly. In the first quarter, both teams came up empty on the scoreboard and each committed a turnover. The Tigers found 76 yards through the air, but couldn’t get in the end zone.
As the second quarter began, the Tigers used their field position on South Carolina’s 45-yard line to drive down the field and into the Gamecocks’ red zone.
