From spitting to chants of Roll Tide, Venables and Smith have seen it all in the rivalry

CLEMSON – The rivalry between Clemson and South Carolina is best known for the football game played each November, but there are times when the hate spills over into other sports. Even youth league sports.

Clemson and South Carolina are set to face off for the 116th time on the gridiron when the teams collide at 7 pm Saturday in a game that will be nationally televised on ESPN. Clemson opened as a huge favorite over the Gamecocks and the Tigers have won the last two games by a combined score of 90-17.

Should Clemson win on Saturday and make it five wins in a row, it would be the first time the Tigers have reached such a streak against the Gamecocks since 1940, which capped seven straight wins for the team.
