Two years ago in the week leading up to the 2017 Clemson-South Carolina game, Carolina football play-by-play announcer Todd Ellis said the Tigers were “cycling out.” Meanwhile, the Gamecocks were cycling in, Ellis said, adding that Clemson was “scared to death of Will Muschamp’s progress.”
Well, Clemson continues to cycle, all right – cycle ahead of South Carolina, both on the field and on the recruiting trail.
The Tigers went on to beat the Gamecocks, 34-10, at Williams-Brice Stadium on Nov. 25, 2017. After winning the annual rivalry game again last season, Clemson is now looking for its sixth straight victory in the Clemson-Carolina series when the two teams meet at Williams-Brice on Saturday.
