COLUMBIA — Clemson’s defense dominated rival South Carolina like it never has before.
The third-ranked Tigers held the Gamecocks to 174 total yards in Saturday’s 38-3 victory at Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia. The 174 yards and three points are the fewest by a South Carolina team against Clemson since the Tigers’ 45-0 win in 1989 when they held the Gamecocks to 155 total yards.
Another one of the Tigers’ goals on Saturday was to keep their former teammate, running back Tavien Feaster, out of the end zone.
“We were talking trash during the game. It was all jokes,” safety Denzel Johnson said.
