When examining the respective depth charts for Clemson and South Carolina as they get set to battle on Saturday at Williams-Brice Stadium, the talent differential between the two teams is obvious.
But just how many of the Gamecocks’ starters do we think would be a starter if they played for the Tigers? The Clemson Insider decided to take a look at each team’s starters and see.
Here’s how we think the starting lineups on offense and defense would look if we had to choose between Clemson and Carolina players:
Offense
LT: Jackson Carman (Clemson)
LG: John Simpson (Clemson)
C: Sean Pollard (Clemson)
RG: Gage Cervenka (Clemson)
RT: Tremayne Anchrum (Clemson)
TE: Kyle Markway (South Carolina)
WR: Tee Higgins (Clemson)
QB: Trevor Lawrence (Clemson)
RB: Travis Etienne (Clemson)
WR: Justyn Ross (Clemson)
WR: Amari Rodgers (Clemson)
As you can see, the only starter on South Carolina’s offense that we think would start for the Tigers is tight end is Kyle Markway.
