South Carolina Hosts 3rd-Ranked Clemson In Palmetto Bowl

‘Cocks Look to Destroy CFP Hopes for Clemson

The fans at Williams-Brice Stadium will see the Palmetto Bowl, between the 3rd-ranked Clemson Tigers and the 24th-ranked South Carolina Gamecocks on Saturday night. Both teams have qualified for bowl games. South Carolina sure would love to ruin Clemson’s national championship playoff dreams for 2017. Oddsmakers have the Tigers as a 13.5-point favorite. The total is at 46.5. Dabo Swinney won his first game as Clemson’s interim head coach against Boston College midway through the 2008 season. He was thinking only of the next game at that point in his career. Less than 10 years later he can earn his 100th career victory on Saturday night. A victory against the Gamecocks would make him only the fourth coach to win 100 games in his first 10 years. Swinney would be joining a select group that includes Bob Stoops, Urban Meyer and Chris Peterson.

South Carolina Looks for Better in 2017 Palmetto Bowl

South Carolina lost last year’s game at Clemson. They lost it badly, 56-7. The Gamecocks were a 6-6 team under first-year coach Will Muschamp. This year the team has built a solid-team with an 8-3 record by winning five of its last six games. The Gamecocks rely on a solid run defense to keep games close. They then hope that sophomore quarterback Jake Bentley can make some plays. South Carolina is playing for an attractive bowl bid and and upsetting Clemson pads that resume.

Clemson Still has Swarming Defense

Clemson boasts a deep and talented defense. The squad ranks second nationally in sacks, third in scoring defense, sixth in tackles for loss. They are seventh in total defense. The team has a diverse offense that again ranks among the best in the nation. This, despite losing quarterback Deshaun Watson and other offensive stars off last season’s national championship team. Kelly Bryant makes the Tigers go from the QB position. The Junior is blessed with a ton of weapons. Wide receivers Deon Cain, Hunter Renfrow and Ray-Ray McCloud stretch the field. While big-play running backs Travis Etienne and Tavien Feaster pound you in the middle. %Alt_Txt%%
