Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney jokes that members of the media had their stories ready for the scenario in which the Tigers lost to South Carolina this year – which would have meant Clemson’s third loss in the last four meetings against the Gamecocks.
Instead, Swinney’s team defeated South Carolina, 28-14, on Saturday at Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia, giving the Tigers their ninth win over the last 11 games in the series.
Clemson also notched a sixth straight road win against South Carolina for the first time since the 1989-99 seasons.
“I know everybody likes to give me math lessons around here,” Swinney said during his postgame press conference.
