The Storylines

Under Head Coach Dabo Swinney, Clemson has annually pursued five stated goals: 1) Win the opener, 2) win the division, 3) win the state championship, 4) win the ACC Championship and 5) win the closer. Clemson has already accomplished goals one and two and will attempt to add goals three and four over the next two weeks.

"Our regular season is over, if you will," Swinney said immediately following Clemson's win against Miami (Fla.) last week. "South Carolina is a goal of its own for us, a season of its own. It's that time." A year ago, Clemson shut out South Carolina, 30-0, to extend the Tigers' current winning streak in the series to seven games, matching Clemson's seven-game streak from 1934-40 for the longest streak by either team in series history.

A win on Saturday would make Clemson the first team on either side of the rivalry to win eight consecutive games in the series

Good afternoon everyone! I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and it's rivalry time in college football -- Clemson and South Carolina are set to get going a little after noon and we will be here to react to everything. Hope you'll follow along!

South Carolina gets the ball first. We'll get a look at Spencer Rattler.

Gamecocks go 3-and-out on their first series. Tigers will be pinned for theirs -- just getting going in Death Valley.

Darius Rush nearly gets a pick six of DJ and the Tigers will be forced to punt. 12:23 to play in the first. No score.

Jeremiah Trotter. Pick six. He read the route perfectly. Touchdown Tigers -- 7-0 Clemson with 12:15 to play in the first.

Man it's great to see the D score some points. A win in the turnover margin would be huge in this game.

What a catch on a rope by Josh Vann on 3rd down. Gamecocks with a much needed first down, trailing 7-0.

The pass sails on Rattler and they can't convert on 3rd and 11. Tigers take over leading 7-0. I like what I'm seeing from the defensive line getting pressure in the early going.

Joseph Ngata picks up the first down on the quick stop route as SCar brought the house there.

DJU keeps it for a 9-yard TD run, making some people miss in the space. Tigers go 90 yards in 8 plays, just over 4 minutes. Tigers up 14-0 with 5:52 to play in the first.

One of the keys to this game that we talked about here on the site was the need for Clemson to run the ball as the Gamecocks are one of the worst teams in the country defending it. So far, they've got 105 yards.

Josh Vann has been a bright spot for the South Carolina offense early. He just recorded a 34-yard reception on a post route but is shaken up on the play and we've got a timeout on the field.

Jalyn Phillips nearly picks off Spencer Rattler and the Gamecocks will be forced to punt. And they've pinned Clemson deep at their own 1. Tigers will need to go 99 yards, leading 14-0.

Nate Atkins made an unbelievable catch just now. Wow. Gamecocks in Clemson territory.

END 1Q: Clemson 14, South Carolina 0

Gamecock offense is in position to get back in the game as they just ran a reverse to Jalen Brooks down to the 1-yard line. We'll see what happens when play resumes.

Antwane Wells scores on the inside route in the back of the end zone for the touchdown on 4th and goal.

We've got a ball game in Death Valley as Clemson leads South Carolina 14-7 with 13:59 to play in the 2nd quarter.

They are headed to the booth to take a look and see if that was an incomplete forward pass that was intended for Phil Mafah. Looks like it to me. Would be a big play for South Carolina defensively if the call is overturned.

14-7 Tigers with 13:59 to play before the half.

You can feel the pressure mounting from the fans watching D.J. and the offense again. Some of it's certainly D.J., but the playbook kills me sometimes.

Jordan Burch brings the heat on DJ and forces the bad throw and the Tigers are forced to punt. Gamecocks with be pinned down at the 2-yard line.

10:11 to play before the half with Clemson leading SC, 14-7.

Ruke Orhorhoro brings pressure on Spencer Rattler, forcing a safety. Rattler is penalized for intentional grounding. Tigers will get the 2 points and the ball back.

Clemson leads SC 16-7 with 10:05 to play before the half.

Aaand we've got a fumble on the kickoff. Tigers tried to get cute on the return and South Carolina will get it right back.

Whatever happened to just lining up and playing ball. No need for this trying to be cute nonsense.

Spencer Rattler scores on the scramble. Great job by eluding the pressure. Tigers lead 16-13 with 8:24 to play before the half. Turnovers continue to hurt Clemson.

That was a nice throw and catch to Collins. Need to see DJ open it up more like that.

It sure is nice to have Beaux Collins back in this offense. He hasn't played since the Notre Dame game. He adds a nice dimension to the team and made a nice catch downfield.

DJU finds Antonio Williams in the back right corner -- a bust in the secondary leads to a touchdown. Tigers increase the lead to 23-14 with 6:14 to play before the half.

That was a great response after giving up the TD. Hopefully we will see this offense continue the aggression. A passing game could really set Shipley up to wear down the defense in the second half.

Beaux Collins with the 59-yard completion to set up the score. Would be nice if the Tigers can establish a deep threat with him as we head into the postseason.
