CLEMSON – South Carolina’s offense did what Clemson’s offense refused to do, and several streaks were broken in Death Valley as South Carolina claimed a win in the rivalry with a thrilling 31-30 victory over No. 8 Clemson.
Clemson’s 40-game home winning streak? Broken. The seven-game winning streak in the rivalry? Gone. Clemson’s chances at the College Football Playoff? Wasted with another dismal effort from the Clemson offense.
In short, Clemson was out-played and out-coached with everything on the line.
Spencer Rattler threw for 355 yards on 24-of-38 passing and the Gamecock defense stifled Clemson’s offense for most of the second half.
