Game twelve: South Carolina
One more team Swinney and the Tigers need to get retribution against is South Carolina. The Gamecocks, more specifically quarterback LaNorris Sellars, embarrassed the Clemson defense in Memorial Stadium. The Tigers had absolutely no answer for Sellars as he made play after play to get his team to do just enough for the 17-14 win.
This game is always one of the most important on the schedule between these in-state rivals. This year’s game has more meaning though.
Both teams are expected to be playoff contenders this season. This game could decide seeding for the playoffs or who will actually earn a bid.
The disdain for one another will be turned up another level this season. Each team will be jockeying for position and a shot at the national championship.
