CLEMSON – Jeremiah Trotter didn’t grow up around the rivalry between Clemson and South Carolina and didn’t understand the level of acrimony between the two fan bases. Until last year, when he walked out of the tunnel at Williams-Brice Stadium and heard the names being called, and dodged the debris.
Welcome to rivalry week.
Clemson plays host to South Carolina Saturday at Noon in Death Valley. The Tigers have won seven in a row in the series, and if you go back to 1997, Clemson has won 17 out of the last 25. That number is incredible when you consider that the Gamecocks won five in a row at one point.
