The Gamecocks add another field goal. It is really hard to overstate how impressive they have been. Since 1951, Carolina has beaten Clemson only 21 times, and most of those victories have been really close. Only twice have the Gamecocks won by more than 20 points -- in 1975 (56-20) and in 1994 (33-7). Both times the Tigers won the next year. So for Carolina to be up 22 points after last year's 17-point victory is a real game-changer. It will be very interesting to see how Clemson responds to this challenge.
Meanwhile, after weeks of second- and third-tier games, we can start looking forward to a UCFC game that will also play a significant role in the chase for the national championship, because the Gamecocks will be traveling to Atlanta to take on the number 2 Auburn Tigers in the SEC title game.
