COLUMBIA, SC – Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney slapped hands with Tiger fans as he left the field after Saturday’s 38-3 victory over South Carolina and then made sure the media understands just exactly what his team has accomplished.
If no one respects this team, Swinney intimated, then that’s their problem.
Clemson won its 27th game in a row, the nation’s longest winning streak, home winning streak (22) and road winning streak (12). The win is also Clemson's 10th victory against SEC competition since the start of the 2016 season. Clemson's ten wins against the SEC since 2016 outpace the totals of three active SEC members: Ole Miss (eight), Vanderbilt (eight) and Arkansas (four).
