Clemson is set to play under the lights on Saturday night in what should be a thrilling Palmetto Bowl between the Tigers (7-4) and the South Carolina Gamecocks.
Before falling to the Gamecocks 31-30 last November, the Tigers had won seven straight rivalry games against South Carolina dating back to 2014. But despite that win streak and a 72-43-4 all-time record versus the in-state rival, the Gamecocks hold claim to the Palmetto Trophy and have bragging rights over Clemson.
Avenging last year’s loss and preventing the Gamecocks (5-6) from winning their sixth game and becoming bowl-eligible only adds even more energy and excitement to the rivalry game.
That said, here are five Clemson players to keep a close eye on when the Tigers and Gamecocks kick off at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday.
