Fans all across the state of South Carolina are getting geared up for the 115th installment of the Palmetto Bowl … a bitter rivalry that divides even the strongest of families.
Clemson holds a 68-42-4 advantage in the series and enters Saturday’s game ranked third in the College Football Playoff Poll and as defending national champions. However, following a 56-7 defeat last season No. 24 South Carolina is hungry for revenge.
The Tigers and Gamecocks have only met seven times as ranked opponents and this is the first top-25 matchup since 2013. In those games South Carolina holds a 5-2 advantage over Clemson.
