What Gage Cervenka remembers the most about Clemson’s trip to Columbia in 2017 is not the Tigers’ 34-10 victory at Williams-Brice Stadium.
Instead, it was all the trash and water bottles the student section was throwing at them. It got so bad, head coach Dabo Swinney was given an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty when he ripped the officials for continuing to allow it to happen after Hunter Renfrow was hit in the back with a Coke bottle following a second-quarter touchdown.
But Cervenka understands it. He knows the Gamecock fans don’t like them and “the feeling is mutual,” he said.
