Most of the nation was shocked that South Carolina gained 600 yards and scored 35 points against No. 2 Clemson. The Gamecocks were not.
“We knew we were going to do that,” South Carolina senior tight end Jacob August said.
August pointed out that the Gamecocks were “4 yards from 49 points.” South Carolina failed twice on fourth-and-goal from the 2-yard line and still managed five touchdowns on 11 possessions (not counting end of half situations).
“If we can dial up two plays to get into the end zone, that’s a completely different ball game,” August said.
