Did Watson’s 2014 performance begin another era in the rivalry?

There are moments in every rivalry when the tide turns. It’s that moment when fans look back and say, “That’s when it all began.”

It happens all throughout the course of a rivalry’s series, especially in a rivalry as old as the Clemson-Carolina series.

There was Rex Enright’s new car after the Gamecocks head coach stopped Clemson’s seven-year run in the series with an 18-14 victory in 1941. Enright went on to beat Clemson eight times (8-7-1) in his 15 years as head coach, still the most by any Carolina coach in the history of the rivalry.
