Clemson offensive linemen Sean Pollard is no stranger to playing against rival South Carolina at William’s Brice Stadium. The senior is aware, no matter what records the records, this game is always huge for both programs and the state of South Carolina.
“This game is bigger than the people playing on the field,” Pollard said. “It’s Clemson versus South Carolina. It’s fan base versus fan base. It’s a bigger game than just myself, but it’s awesome. It’s fun and it’s always a hard-fought game.”
The North Carolina native didn’t grow up hating the Gamecocks, but Pollard has found he loves to hate the Gamecocks these days.
