We keep waiting for Clemson to "pull a Clemson," but maybe the Tigers have turned a page in the history books and have truly emerged as another on the list of power programs of the future.
Along with teams like Baylor, Oklahoma State, Michigan State and Stanford, Clemson is showing that not only can the Tigers win, but they can win when it counts: late in November against tough opponents and rivals with the season on the line.
The South Carolina Gamecocks gave it an amazing effort, but, in the end, Clemson made a few more plays when it mattered most.
