South Carolina (4-7) is currently a 2.5-point favorite entering Saturday’s game against Clemson (6-5) in Columbia.
It marks the Tigers’ first time being a betting underdog in the rivalry since 2013.
Is Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney surprised that his team is the underdog?
“I mean, not really,” Swinney said during his weekly Tuesday press conference. “We’re going to a tough place. They’re at home. They beat us last year. Not surprised. Nothing surprises me anymore. There’s very little that surprises me these days. Very little.”
The Tigers are looking to avenge last season’s 17-14 loss to the Gamecocks at Memorial Stadium.
