It’s finally here, folks. A week’s worth of build up and trash talk and hype videos comes to an end at 7:30 tonight in Williams-Brice Stadium as the South Carolina Gamecocks take on the Clemson Tigers. The upset-minded Gamecocks have their work cut out for them, so here a few keys if they want to succeed.
Get off to a good start. This has been key in several games this season, but it’s no less important against the Tigers. South Carolina has made an unfortunate trend out of struggling in the first quarter, and it simply can’t afford to waste early possessions and dig itself a huge hole.
