Clemson Football Podcast: South Carolina Recap

In a game that was too close for comfort, Clemson outlasted South Carolina 37-32 in this year's Palmetto Bowl.

Another week, another dazzling performance from newly crowned ACC Player of the Year, Deshaun Watson, who posted nearly 400 total yards and 4 touchdowns. And our Clemson Tigers needed every one of those plays, as our offense coughed up 3 fumbles, allowing the South Carolina Gamecocks and their fans to hang around all day.

Turnovers, another missed PAT, and some defensive lapses helped Clemson squander an 18-point lead, and a garbage time touchdown set up a last-ditch but no less nerve-wracking onside kick attempt by a desperate South Carolina unit.
