Clemson is heading into its annual meeting with South Carolina with perhaps the highest stakes the rivalry has ever seen. A potential College Football Playoff seed is on the line for both teams, providing the optimal conditions for a blockbuster game.

South Carolina started the season with a one-dimensional offense but has largely overcome most of its early struggles. It'll be a good matchup between the Tigers' offense and USC's defense.

On the other hand, the Gamecocks defense has been outstanding, especially on the defensive line. With Clemson down a few linemen, it could be a rough day for Cade Klubnik despite having one of the best offensive lines this season.

To learn more about the Gamecocks, RTR went behind enemy lines to talk to Ericka Brockish. She's a full-time staff writer for FanSided, covering South Caroline on Garnet and Cocky. She gives us a look inside the program for tomorrow's game

Q & A with Truman's Tales' contributor Erika Brockish

Q: LaNorris Sellers has endured some growing pains this season, as one would expect from a freshman quarterback. However, he's turned himself into an effective play-caller. How has he progressed and what can Clemson expect this weekend?

A: LaNorris Sellers has turned into not just a great runner but a great passer as well during South Carolina's five-game win streak. Sellers have become much more patient in the pocket and looking down the field instead of just running once he faces a little bit of pressure. Be prepared for Sellers to run, though, because his arm makes his running ability that much more dangerous.
