COLUMBIA – Clemson found itself in seventh heaven Saturday night, its offense running for 265 yards on the ground and the defense pitching a shutout in a dominating 30-0 victory at Williams-Brice Stadium for the Tigers’ seventh consecutive victory in the series.
Clemson managed the win with a staggering 24 scholarship players out for the game, a number that included defensive end Xavier Thomas (hamstring) who was scratched late in the week.
The Tigers now have seven straight wins against the Gamecocks and that ties the 1934-40 team for the longest winning streak by either team in series history.
