The Clemson defense made its stand on Saturday night inside of Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia, holding South Carolina to zero points on the night and securing the teams' seventh win in a row against the Gamecocks, 30-0. The shutout also marks the 22nd time Clemson has held South Carolina off the scoreboard, with all 22 of those coming in Columbia.

Overall, Clemson held the Gamecocks to 206 total yards and only 43 of those came on the ground. KJ Henry got Clemson's only sack on the night and Andrew Booth Jr. picked off South Carolina’s Jason Brown twice in the first half.
