4. The game is at home, at night

If this game was being played in Williams-Brice, I’d give South Carolina a chance of keeping it close.

The Gamecocks could feed off the energy of the crowd and play with a sense of pride.

On the road, though, if things start to go bad for the Gamecocks, will they continue to fight or will they wave the white flag?

I just think with the atmosphere favoring Clemson, you’re going to be hard-pressed to find many reasons that the Gamecocks stay in the game very long.
