The 2019 Clemson football season may not have ended with a National Championship, but there’s still plenty for Tiger fans to celebrate.

The 2019 Clemson football team accomplished several feats during the season that ultimately ended with a disappointing loss.

Despite the loss to LSU in the National Championship, there are plenty of things for Tiger fans to celebrate that many are forgetting about or taking for granted.

Here are five things Clemson football fans should appreciate about the 2019 season.

5. Six-straight over South Carolina

It’s easy to forget about the accomplishments made during the season when things don’t end the way you want them to.

Despite that loss in the National Championship, Clemson football fans should appreciate the fact that the Tigers improved their streak over in-state rival South Carolina to six games.

Gamecock fans continue to piggyback on the shoulders of every other team Clemson plays, but they only do that because they can’t beat the Tigers themselves.

The last time South Carolina beat Clemson, Trevor Lawrence was 14 years old.

Clemson football fans need to appreciate beating their in-state rival and revel in the fact that it’s been more than a half-decade since the Gamecocks had a win in the Palmetto Bowl series.
