Two years ago South Carolina came to Clemson and was whipped from start to finish in an embarrassing 56-7 loss.
Will Muschamp said leading up to Saturday’s game the Gamecocks had some players that “didn’t compete” in 2016 at Death Valley and “that wasn’t going to happen again.”
Muschamp’s USC squad held its own against the Tigers for most of Saturday night, particularly on offense, before Clemson pulled away for a 56-35 victory to claim its fifth consecutive win in the rivalry series.
Clemson led 28-21 at the half before jumping out to a 49-21 lead.
