For the second week in a row, Clemson hosted a night game in Death Valley as South Carolina came to town to take on the #2 Tigers. The Gamecocks were hoping to avoid a 5th straight loss to the Tigers, but it was not to be, despite a good effort on their part.
The opening kickoff by B.T. Potter predictably sailed into the end zone and Carolina started at the 25. The Gamecocks started inauspiciously with a false start and a short gain, but then got a first down on a WR screen. They then connected on a post route for 29 yards down to the Tiger 35.
