2018 Clemson vs South Carolina Football: Todd Ellis Edition

[Music] Tommy you don't have to like him but you got to respect the senior class at Clemson 51 and4 record since 2015 and uh that's earning a lot it certainly earns our respect no question about it and and no matter what league it is because a lot of people say things about the AC and clearly it's not the league that the SEC isn't no question about that but regardless they've got good team very good Clemson that just set the standard theyve passed them all and so you got to give them a lot of credit D Sween you got to give him a lot of credit the Tigers and they undefeated record entering in here into Memorial Stadium dressed in all orange tonight no purple they had a little bit of that last weekend I think they thought better after they saw it on television they come in an all orange tonight trying to win their fifth straight in this series boy burned them bad when all those kids around South Carolina used to ask for pictures with gabos Sweeny and they spot him with the Five Spot suddenly in the picture they all want that back we came in here to try to beat the gamec for five well there's something I hadn't seen all the years that came up here Clemson player trip coming down the it's a good sign down the hill that is a good sign you know Todd we've talked about will mus champ though tying coach Spur's record the first three years coach spur was here with 21 victories and of course now will has 21 Victor can get 22 either tonight or next week against a but he also can get 23 but guess what a little analogy you know how many victories D swe had his first three years how 26 so should we move on and win even tonight or next week in the B game it only be three behind so we've come along we we moving in the right direction guys let's let's give credit where credits do and you know clearly we could have won the Florida game other things but regard some not all bad not all bad for the third year G Cox come in tonight sitting at 6 and four and trying to get what would be the biggest road upset in the history of the program forget that it's your Ral forget you played them more than any other team on your schedule literally never beaten the number two team on the road of course the other one in 20110 we beat number one Alabama but Tommy in that ball game we were ranked number 19 in the country and finished the season 9 and five and and won the Eastern Division we weren't unranked like we would be tonight that's how difficult it would be to come into here under those circumstances it's great to be part of it it really is I was just thinking it's now it's now for anybody you just don't like them if they P the other team be honest just they don't like us we don't like them that's kind of fun really I like that game's over the game's over you go back go to work with him you love them all that stuff right now N I shall decline as Langston pointed out with 880,000 on hand Carolina will take the football to start the ball game isan Nixon set back to receive with Debo SEL well tell me what's interesting here is BT Potter their kickoff specialist The Freshman he's he's had some kicks returned on him not completely but of 84 kickoffs he's only had 58 touchbacks Deo may get some Shots tonight no win to speak of I don't think the flags are just draping right down by the pole out of that East End Z towards the hill Potter kicks it off low Line Drive bouncing at the 10 and in the back of the end zone we hit a little skull shot past Debo it'll be a Touchback there will have the football out at the 25 yd line with their backs to the hill heading to the closed end here at Memorial [Applause] stadi the second longest consecutive played rivalry game in all of college football 6 and four versus 11-0 the Tigers defense and Christian Wilson's pumping up the fans Jake Bentley the junior quarterback of OA Alabama cut his teeth it burns High School just up the road takes B Denon into the back field he's to the right working off the right hasmark quick throw to Debo wide receiver scen flag on the play looked like false start for Carolina Christian Wilkins already in Jake Bentley's face and let's see if somebody will get him off of him and M Benson does so the snap start first so movement up front for Carolina and that's wam in playing in his first Carolina Clemson rival re ball game they let wam starting in right tackle tonight first and 15 now on the 20 yd line and some stoppage there's a referee Matt laugher steps in now backs out Carolina's got three wide receivers into the boundary that's to the right gets it to the left of Bentley wild Crow EO comes in motion sweet play right side to M Benson and M can't get the short side of the field towards the gamec bench a gain of one on the pl second and 14 up coming for Carolina I got a I got a feeling we're going to see a lot of Debo Samuel tonight either getting the football or as a decoy I agree we got to do that prob our best player on the 21 yd line Bentley wide receiver screen in to that boundary there's Debo at the 30 Debo drops his shoulder and got a first down at the 35 yd line they faked to him once he's touched it twice already and that one's good for 15 yards in a Carolina first down boy number seven Bryant nearly got that ball when he freed up his left arm but he didn't that's the difference he didn't get it Leo caught it made a good run with it ran Ed split out here to the left side still three wide receivers into the boundary Denson moves over to the right of Bentley first down for Carolina their first drive of the ball game Blitz by the onon Tigers Bentley in the pocket throwing on a Crossing routs caught get the Carolina excuse me Clemson 35 yd line it down immediately One onone play to shot Smith the post route is clean for 29 yards and another Carolina first down let's talk about W him the true freshman on the right side that time he was matched up with Wilkins and he held him out Carolina going fast they'll go with Denson up the middle into the second level the linebacker meets him in the pocket B spins away wipes his hand hands on his hips like he's mad he didn't get more but he did get six second and four upcoming we'll take six yards on first downs against anybody particularly Clemson when they're down PE was so good but definitely first down gain that's a nice play especially running the football to right yeah all right now four wide receivers that's a tackle split out to the right side Henry and Henry formation tonight for Bentley Denson up the middle into a pack not much going at all so they split out the tackles left and right Isaiah Simmons redit with Bon Denon up the middle just a gain of one and that's going to bring up third down and four yards to go with 1310 here in the first quarter no score in Memorial Stadium big down right here third down game CS 43% on third down Clinton's defense hold opponents to 28% Josh van checks in slips out to the right side Edwards to the left we got press coverage on it Bentley looking over to the right side quick throw slant routs caught at the 21 yard line that's a first down Carolina shot Smith on his second first down catch of the night this one good for eight yards out and they move the chains and hush this orange crowd hush him down nice RPO that time fake to Denon good fake and pulled it out had a nice throw motion because it took the linebacker went with Denon On The Run play and Smith made a good catch gav stalkin into the ball game there's a triangle of wide receivers to the right Dawkins to the left side Bentley out of the pocket looking right now back left swings it out late to Denson and the flats can't connect with him incomplete boy I think he wanted Dawkins on the backside post climp had played it well with their center fielder there on the play Tanner Muse it's second and 10 we're into tiger territory of the eighth play of the drive upcoming Carolina's first drive of the ball game will mus champ prowling that sideline on the far side here at Memorial Stadium dley steps back in the pocket three wide receivers set they're right in the middle of field Jenson to his left going from east to west that's right to left shotgun stat Denon up the middle into an orange wall he spins forward for a couple more looked a little indecisive of one we want to run that time just a gain of three yards on the play yeah may could have gone outside possibly they taken it outside and see through a little room out there but he didn't wi inside picked up about and that's not bad not bad third and seven up coming for Carolina Carolina's picked up two third down conversions on this drive deo's back in the ball game empty set with Bon Benson split out to the right side Bo a couple of weapons over here to the left Bentley on a third and seven at the 18 of the Tigers all alone in the back field he wants to change things up in this orange crowd snap it back got some time in the pocket looking left side quick throw incomplete flag on the play and that's intended for Chavis Dawkins will check the laundry on the field Dawkins says it's against the defense may have been holding him a little bit there we'll see here's the call well here was the call offside on the defense number 99 5yd penalty third down that's a big benefit for the Gamecock you'll still have third and short but man of big difference between that and eight or nine Tom you'll be third and two 1132 to go in the first quarter first drive of the ball game for either team in the game Cox and they're all white Road Warrior attire have driven it to the Tiger 13 yard line three wide receivers in a triangle out left side Casey Crosby is one of them Tigers looking like they want to Blitz Bentley pump fake trying to set up the screen got Denson Denson's being Trail he gets down to about the 10 yd line that looks like a first down oh the Tigers were tracking behind Denson AJ Terrell makes the stop Tomy I'm not sure that's a great spot for Carolina now they move the football I think it's I think it's a first down though but it looks like it's inside the one yd line it's got to be in looks like the Mark is on the one but I think they go measur they are boy what a catch by Denon I know it was a short game but he caught it over his shoulder and M the lra Georgia native who had 102 yards receiving versus Old Miss the first one to do that as a running back since Marcus Latimore did it against Kentucky and he caught that one tonight short enough gain and they hope it's enough for Carolina first down that looks like a little better spot here now that the officials moved away it's towards a near sideline the tiger sideline first down gate by half a ball wow nice job of Denson catching it keeping his foot bounced on count of one foot fell full for fron played it well to be honest with you with 1125 to go in the first quarter the Gamecocks have got it first and 10 right outside the tiger 10 yd line got to get in here we 85 Cent scoring down here 61% TDS Clon HS their opponent only 44% TDS inside the 20 Rico gattle checks into the ball game he played didn't play it all last week he's to the left of Bentley four wide receivers set to each side Rico to the left of Bentley Bentley in the pockets got some pressure he got to step up throws out of the back of the end zone good job Bentley nice job Jake and coming from the outside was Austin Bryant the paavo Georgia native second in the country as a unit and tackles for a loss and as Tommy mentioned 40 sacks on the year they almost had another one there second and 10 at the 11 of the Tigers working off the left hashmark Bentley wide receiver screen to shy Smith trying to cut between a couple Defenders got one block could get the next good Pursuit just a gain of two yards so here comes third down again they could get to the tiger one yard line for a first down I tell you we we need that tight end we got to use a tight end down here on inside the 20 some time on a drag route or something to if we don't do that enough this game would be a wonderful place to start J Crosby inting there now split out shy Smith over the right side Trips Again bio left side batt in thirdd third down eight yds to go Bentley changing things up with 1050 to go in the first quarter no score battle to the left they reset Blitz at the middle picked up trying to throw left side Crossing roundout Debo does into the touchdown touchdown Deo Samuel they got six on a Crossing route with 1041 to go in the first from nine yards out it comes the extra point it could be seven nothing game c I tell you Todd Clemson that time has not been blitzing much but that time I think they sent two or either three linebackers right up through the middle Bentley held at the last moment what that did is freed up the throwing Zone a Lane right there to Bent to Samuel great throw great catch good run afterwards good protection up front too there's Parker white to cap it off white swings through up and in into that orange stand they're sitting down they're stunned the number two team in the country take seven on the board they've only given up three TDS in the first half all year long and Carolina just got the fourth we'll be back on the game talk IMG Sports Network a rare Affair up here Brent good to be with you as always Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family that's our first first half TD since 2014 against clinson our first points in the first half since 2015 Tommy hard to come by Evo already touched it twice in the running in the passing game for 24 yards of course the big TD right there good KCK that's seventh touchdown grab for Debo this year too after a little bit slow start coming back from that injury he's cranked it up now here's will Tommy to kick off for Carolina Adam choice and to carry on Kendrick set back to receive and here's Tommy the left footer low Line Drive bounces at the goal line and back of the endzone and now will Tommy by the way is kicked 2 six of 31 for touchbacks since he took over the roll and now we're going to see it's Guess Who on defense for Carolina as David Spence will have his work cut out for him tonight we'll all check it out because the injured group that's out there look rodic Steven montac at safety IC Mixon and Fenton at corners and here's the Freshman quarterback Trevor Lawrence takes etn into the back field with him he's to the right of it Motion in front of him etn off the left side right into sherro green arms and etn running hard and gaining four on the play but green brings him down to be second six of coming good tackle that time also by rodri The Freshman came up made a good lick on him so not not a bad start there that's Fel at one in spot kenlaw over the center Brad Johnson's in the ball game as well Lawrence out of the gun inside Zone play again rushing the football across the 30 Tigers really since they took over with Lawrence Kier Thomas making the stop a three yard gain on the play Third Down upcoming for the Tigers since Kelly Bryant was replaced by Lawrence they have gone back to that run gate shami Black Shear in the lineup as well as Israel Mamu at one of the corner spots all right third down and three at the the tiger 32 yd line Carolina in a three-man front Lawrence out of the gun 66 stands in the pocket throws underneath got rro caught easily at the 35 CS up 45 breaks another tackle in the Gamecock territory and he miss a few but finally knock him down as he backed up got SP around at the Gamecock 49 yd line 22 yd reception before sherro green breaks him down Tommy that's only his 37th catch of the year but he's one of the most reliable guys in all of college football when they need him they go to it Lawrence again out of the shotgun and wants to throw the quick out route guns one towards the Gamecock sideline T Higgins breaks one tackle runs down to about the Gamecock 24 yd line look at that gun from Lawrence that looked like a rope coming out of his right hand and that's another 22 yd gain backto back 22 yd receptions for the Tigers and they're moving into Gamecock territory kill on is 24 out of the gun Lawrence quick wide receiver screen outside Rogers Rogers trying the edge towards the tiger bench and gets knocked out a bounds run out that time with a pat on the head from kishan Nixon a three yard gain on the play it'll be second seven up coming Carolina leads it with 853 to go in the first quarter 7 nothing they took it 12 plays 75 yards Deo Samuel topped it with a niney touchdown reception from Jake Bentley now tiger time back to work in a pistol formation two wide receivers left time Lawrence out of the gun hand off etn got a whole left side before Brunson comes in there and then a host of Gamecocks finally getting but he's right at that marker around the 14 yard line etn of course 510 200 lb salt ball from Jennings Louisiana came in with 1157 rushing yards Tommy 17 touchdowns averaging 8.6 yards a carry yeah he's he's a real deal out of Louisiana as everyone knows and um they just love to give him the ball and he loves to run with it it is a first down on the seventh play of the drive at the Carolina 14 Lawrence out of the gun with a fourman front in front of him etn to the right he's got that long tow does etn down his backside and Lawrence with a short set about three yards deep takes a snap looking wants the crossing route dumps it out right side etn at the 10 trying to break a tackle won't be able to do so as Carolina n Nixon who's missed some tackles Tommy give him credit good open field tackle that time it's still a nyd gain all the way down to the Gamecock well just inside the 5 yd line a batter defensive front for Carolina just not able to put enough pressure on lence that time to get him out of his rhythm he was able to look through all of his progression here's the sparenberg product Tavon feaster in the game now a tailback and they'll hand to him straight at the Middle St stepping Brunson at the goal line the Tigers one a touchdown there's no call on the play it'll be down to about the one a three yard gain on the play well where they looked like kenlaw was slow well he was slow getting up holding his right arm there a little bit now he's okay but well we don't need him to get hurt klaw has had a hip and groin problem he stays in the ball game now slow to get his hand back down and right at the goal line with faser again in the back field again straight at the middle bouncing again stopped at the one yd line or just inside of it RJ rodic piercing in from the outside stops him one more time and now they get a little concerned here yeah good good underneath coverage of push that time too by kenlaw he just really went under got underneath the pads of the offensive lineman along with um still just second down second and goal from the one yd line Adam Choice comes in now so it's been feaster e etn and now choice he's to the left of Lawrence again inside the Carolina one yd line little Flinch no call Choice up the middle and out of choice is Into The End Zone scoring drives by each team this one from one yard out for the Tigers it with 617 to go they get tied up we're in the first quarter play of Memorial Stadium well we didn't think we'd shut him out Tommy but that's a pretty good looking Drive they started with the Run game with etn but Lawrence maybe the most impressive on the drive there with a couple big time 22 yd receptions and also good runs by the receiver Higgins after he made it and also Renfro those guys are talented so they not only catch it they run extremely well we got a tackle well in the secondary Greg hugle with a couple Stutter Steps from his kicking position and up and through that East End Zone ight and that first time tonight some pushing and shoving around that last play it's well up pretty quickly the Tigers come back to their near sideline the GX and their Road White go to their sideline we're tied at seven in the first quarter in Memorial Stadium on the gate do IMG Sports n South con football is brought to you in part by Coors Light whatever your mou climb on back at Memorial Stadium tied up at seven on a drive by the Clemson Tigers their first touch Carolina scored on their first touch let's go down now on our Blue Cross Blue Shield sideb report here's Langston yeah guys JC horn who uh Dressed out and and started out the game with all his fads on came out of the locker room after the warmups and was in Street close so he's definitely probably that angle prob hold up one guy who I didn't think was to make it AJ tur he started out in the sling and coming out full dress so again two guys that kind of keep an eye out the biggest thing for the guys on defense is make sure we stop after that first initial contact have those big rack yards after passes and after Those runs we got to stop the big big plays after the contct yeah it's hard to be thankful for scoring d Tommy but the game p did tackle well it just had some open receivers here's Potter to kick off and it is a Touchback way out of the back of the end zone no Debo on this one ball come out from the 25 yd line the alarming thing to me on the defensive side of the ball for Carolina was the wide open receivers that time clearly some mistakes there in the secondary nothing that we didn't expect of course but boy that Clemson just going to throw it all over the place if that continues Carolina with what was that first drive Tommy four minutes or something the Gamecocks that we had took time off the clock in our first drive 4 minutes and 19 seconds off the clock yeah need another one of those now as Rico D steps into the lineup first and 10 for Carolina at the 25 yd line Jake Bentley with four wide receivers Jake claps his hands they say there's movement flag on the play Bo Le the second series in a row on the first play we got a fall start it looks like offense number 74 5 yd penalty first down well I'm going say what I've been saying the last two or three weeks let's just go run the play guys let's don't overthink it just get up to the line of scrimmage snap the ball and run it so um times with the crowd everything else a lot of stuff going on up there in this confusion each tackle now with a false start Dy is one and wam with one that's first and 15 again at the 20 yd line for Bentley Blitz up the middle Bentley quick throw to the outside got his man caught trying to spin away gaining a couple shots Smith that's his third catch on the ball of the ball game this one's good for three yards Jake knew he had to get rid of that one to hurry linebacker right up the middle on the play B Ley back to work quickly up the line of scrimmage Clon late to get lined up Jake looking throws it out got his man Rico out in the flat and they take him down quickly on a good tackle in open field by Isaiah Simmons he's got 63 tackles on the year and you see why that was a good one on Rico it was a gain of four yards Here Comes third and seven for Carolina D show speed that time Simmons there too the thought that ready to get around the corner a little bit not able to do so Rico stays in to the right of Jake Bentley had that bad ankle after he suffered an injury against Old Miss he's in there now third and seven with 522 to go in the first quarter out of the gun Forman Rush Bentley across the middle wide open Carolina at the 40 yd line shy Smith again his fourth catch of the ball game shy making this in his house right now 17 yard gaining another Carolina first down let's give credit for credit newah the offensive line they really did a great job that time and I believe Hutchinson Right Guard particularly stayed with his guy and also Stanley wanted to the Freshman Bon Denson back in the ball game but we want to throw it again on the wide receiver screen and Shai Smith takes a hard lck on the outside on the play AJ Terrell on the stop the S four from Atlanta Georgia it's a Shai came around to block and Terrell was there just lit him up still a two y gain on the play second down and eight upcoming ball on the gamec 47 yd line 4 42 to go in the first quarter two tight end set with marway and Casey Crosby into the lineup Bon Denson's the back he's to the left of Bentley Jake steps up tail Stanley changing things up now Denson goes in motion right side here comes a blitz Bentley in trouble throwing fad rout left side for Debo but really just getting ready to the football on the tiger bench nicely timed out and a good job by Bentley to get rid of it yeah had he decided to go to m Denon I believe Todd initially he may be still running because he looked over there and just didn't go to him and certainly got rid of it which was a proper thing to do at the end but I believe D was wide open and he decided to go through ini here's Jacob August in the ball game and Sh Smith checks back in walkways another tight end and Josh van foit out to the left side Bentley now another third down this one from third and eight and his own 47 tied at seven Jake 10 of 13 on the day for 92 yards snap it back picked up Jake now in trouble drop back at the 41 yd line sack by that Austin Bryant that demanding defensive line for Clemson minus six on the pl Here Comes Joseph charlon out to pun with 403 to go in the first quarter just good defensive charge sooner or later they gonna get to you because they've already had 40 sacks this year but Carolina only giv up 15 coming in so third furest in the SEC and that time just no that really was a coverage sack there was no one open to throw the ball to Bar Rogers set back to receive Joseph Charlton booms one spinning in this cool night air Rogers comes over to Zone 10 takes a great Gamecock bounce inside the five and Carolina Downs it with tan Nixon let's see where they spot it right at the 5 yd line back him up set him down with a 55 yd punt tied at seven the Tigers take back over we'll be back for the gamecg sports netw good sign out there Ken Law's dancing anytime he's dancing we usually play well Danny finel at one defensive end spot no JC horn no Bry Williams no DJ wam all right here's Lawrence right in his own pocket with etn and he's going to hand the ball off left side etn driving hard across the the 10 yd line and he gained five on the play or sherro green a couple defensive linemen got him down including TJ Brunson second down and five up coming he should have been stopped for a one yard gain that time we just couldn't quite get off the blocks and then once he got a little leverage with those legs he just pulled us on for a few more yards 180 true pistol formation fourman front for Carolina Lawrence out of the gun Lawrence going to roll right he wants to throw it there's a Crossing rounde there Lawrence now drops it off late and let's see if they got it to T Higgins there's a hand in there and it was a catch and that's a Carol excuse me a Clemson first down on the play how he ever got that one off I have no idea it's an eight yard gain on the play he was being tracked the entire time was Higgins and Lawrence found a way to get it in there that got the Tigers out of the back and deep in their own territory and now they've got it first and 10 at their own 18 Lawrence out of the gun wide receiver screen right side got up loock inside and a couple more to the right side jumping over a man at the 40 yd line is Justin Ross and R goes 26 yards beautifully designed play into the boundary and another Clemson first down as they Edge towards Midfield here at Memorial Stadium a lot of good blockers out in front of him too that's what you got to have those lineman release downfield anytime they cut back inside you got to make the play from inside out and nobody was there to help out Kean Nixon they reset the Downs now Lawrence out of the gun again sets back wants to run the football etn left side big hole up the middle into the second level and they finally trip him up caught him on the ankle RJ rodic along with h Brunson again another stop for him but it's an eight- y gain and egn started to come out he'll step back in there with fer in the lineup as well into Gamecock territory at the 40 eight tied at s 149 to go in the first quarter Lawrence out of the shotgun throws quick wide receiver screen to hunter rro gets one block cutting back Danny vel's got to come out there to get it Kean Nixon gave up his body Tommy but Amari Rogers cutting down as he Dove for Renfro a nyd gain another Clemson first down just got to always think about Renfro want to cut it back into the inside he just seems to do that so well particularly loves to that plant the right foot not necess to the left when he's on the left side but that's what he likes to do and you got to be have that inside help to make a play 43 career starts for Hunter rfo all right choice and fer now in the ball game fer goes in motion left side Lauren sets up the screen right side that's choice choice battling his way inside the Carolina 35 yd line that's 28 not 26 that's feaser before Brad Johnson takes him down it's a seveny gain on the play second down and three upcoming for the Tigers as they again threaten here with 54 seconds to go in the first quarter that play designed perfectly against our weaknesses Todd it's that safety coming up and make the play just not there fers alone back in the back field this time Lawrence out of the shotgun for man front but he stands in the pocket wants to throw it out route incomplete good coverage on T Higgins towards the tiger bench Nixon was right there when the ball came around Lawrence probably threw it a little early gunned it out there did the big six six quarterback from Cartersville Georgia that's the first incompletion for him so far he's 8 to eight till that pass lot of wide receiver screens is what Clemson does Tommy pointed out they know our weaknesses all Ross Hunter infro out there now split out left side third down in three Lawrence looking over the left side now Man in Motion quarterback draw left side Lawrence running for the first down quarterback braw inside the 25 and down to the Carolina 22 yd line and the Gamecocks have got a man down that's Shmi Black Shear one of the few defensive ends that we've got hold up we'll check it again was a 10 yard gain on the play as there timeout working on the Gamecock it is Kier Thomas five it's not Black Shear it's Kier Thomas the most productive down player Carolina's SC Tigers quickly up to the line of scrimmage Lawrence at the first down run excuse me to gain a first down takes etn in the backfield fourman front for Carolina Lawrence waiting for the official to back up he does so Trevor Lawrence shotgun snap rolls right with etn in front of him he wants to go backside does down the hash mark to the tight end incomplete on the play Carolina was there Canon smithi the tight end who is from Columbia South Carolina Bill Smith long time trustee here at Clemson and Canon's got three catches for 34 yards and they set him up there and he couldn't go up enough to get it but pretty good coverage by the gamec second down and 10 now yeah rodri was holding his head because he felt like he could had had a chance at the intercept and he did he just didn't probably go after it aggressively enough at the Gamecock 22 yd line Lawrence etn The Back Field wide receiver each side Lawrence stays in the pocket guns one on the post route caught touchdown Lawrence takes a long look at the Gamecock sideline as T Higgins comes over and congratulates himself with everyone in that end zone the East End Zone here from 22 yards out it can't throw a skinny poose any better than that for 17 seconds to go in the first quarter the extra point can make a 14 [Applause] you go with a bad snap Stutter Steps comes up and gets it up and in so he talks to his Snapper who roll it back there but he got it up and through and it's 147 Tigers another goodlook drive that time and Lawrence has really been brilliant throwing the football yeah he really has he's had plenty of good protection forced out of the pocket one time other than that he's 9 for 11 128 yds one touchdown but Gamecocks just not able to contain the screens on the outside when they get it to the right out and just behind two or three offensive lineman linebackers aren getting there the safeties are coming up as everyone knows we just beat up pretty badly all over the field on defense and that's certainly what Clemson's taking advantage of right now they're a very good football team anyway but particularly in the defensive condition of Carolina it doesn't help at all 22 yd strike to T Higgins that's his eighth touchdown on the season the sof wide receiver from Oakbridge Tennessee and here's Potter to kick off again up and over the head of Deo Samuel bouncing back Touchback that was a 995 yard Drive Tommy that's the thing about that when they were backed it up Joseph Charlton did his job and they quickly got out from under the gun in their own End Zone and they took it down the field with a mixture of plays etn and a couple of wide receiver screens tell you Todd etn is is a very good back but so far only five attempts 28 yards the thing that's impressive to me is what I anticipate them doing is going to the wide receiver and let them make plays and they've done that they've really athletic in the wide rece of core and they just out athletic our people right now here's Jake Bentley with his team down he's going a roll right out of the shotgun on first down looking late to find somebody incomplete pass around the 37 yd line he wanted a hooking Brian Edwards to get it but pretty good coverage by the tigers that time Dexter Lawrence was pressuring in fact did hit Jake Bentley just as he threw the football second 10 up coming this offense got a lot of pressure on them now because they've got to be successful get some offensive first downs and keep the defense on the field Bentley quick hit to the slot receiver that's Shai Smith breaking away across the 40 and a Carolina first down Shai Smith have yourself a day we hadn't gone through a quarter and I believe that's his fifth reception of the day check that that's his sixth reception and a Timeout on the field as we go to the second quarter Carolina will have the football down seven we come back on the game talk IMG Sports Network he went after Bron Edward or to Bron Edwards one time but Clemson was off that pass was incomplete but Clemson was offside so we got picked up five yards but I think that's the only time we've tried to throw to him B so far 11 of 15 109 yards one touchdown pass so let's just keep it going guys get that Tempo up call the play run the play don't let Clemson set in their defense they flip end of the field so Carolina will be coming from that closed end zone here towards the towards the hill and it's a first and 10 after the shy Smith catch Casey Crosby goes in motion left side wide receiver screen to Deo Samuel Heil gets a block from KC and trying to get one for a couple good Pursuit From the Inside by the Tigers we'll call it a gain of two on the play we got to get more out of that with Deo I think Tommy you can complet it out there on the edge got to get better blocking down field afterwards I mean Clemson though again what they did and we can't do and they head help on the inside from the safety in their linebacker Carolina depleted injuries can't do that thatly back to work deep in the pockets got some time throws late the flat to Brian Edwards makes a catch of the 49 stiff arm and a bunch of tigers get over there before Edwards picks up a first down he got to the tiger 48 yd line that's where he needed to get a nyd reception and he continues to have a catch in every ball game in his career this one's at the start of the second quarter nice move there good strength pulling away from the grasp of the Clemson player line on the ground there to pick up about three to four more yards for that first down that's Bryant's 43rd catch of the Year first and 10 for Carolina wide receiver split out way to the left side side almost on the bench over there for Carolina Bentley out of the gun runs the football up the middle and that's mon fence a nice little stutter step let him cut back to the left side and just one Clemson player there I think that's FAL it was jumped on his back it's a three yard gain on the plate Bo that almost broke to the next level Carolina quickly back up to the line of scrimmage Bentley out of the gun fakes inside wants to go backside that's Edwards with a catch in between two Defenders and inside the 30 yd line off his back hip I have no idea he got it trivon Mullen was covering on the play and a couple of Gamecocks go up there and slap him on his helmet and then Gamecocks line back up first and 10 Bentley back to work in the pocket going left side and he wanted Debo on a comeback route and could not get it it'll be second down and 10 I don't believe Edwards caught that football I don't believe Bentley threw it because looked like to me he was covered and the middle linebacker was in the throwing L coming into the throwing Lane as well but doesn't matter he C it good pass where you do it that was the wide side of the field on the last play with 1327 to go in the second quarter down seven two tight ends come out for Carolina that's Jacob a August and K par Bentley pistol formation Javis Dawkin split out to the right side Denson and backfield fake joint Bentley in trouble now drops it off to tenson down the sideline the near sideline and knocked out of bounds all the way down to the tiger 16 yd line Big Time play by Bentley Todd 14 yd gain on the play Big Time play looks to his left that's where he wants to go comes back to his right Denon is moving out of the back field to the right gets it to him Carolina down 747 but Bentley moving the team down fake inside again backside post and looking for the flag and they got it Edwards got to the inside on the plate check that Dawkins on the inside on the post route there's a penalty on the play it'll be first down Carol no question about that call Trayvon Mullen from Lauderdale Ford Lauderdale on the penalty hanging all over the back of Dawkins on the play pass interference on the defense number one that's a spot foul with an automatic first down we'll take that you are correct sir yeah that pushes it all the way down to the tiger three yd line good flip of the hips that time by Bentley by the way cuz that ball was onine they're heading in the right direction all right car Carolina after the penalty has got it first and goal at the tiger three down seven Dan to the left and three wide receivers over that direction that's a wide side of the field Blitz by Clemson Bentley rolls out left side throws the back of the end zone and out of bounds he wanted Debo out of the slot and Bentley had to pull up his Furrow was coming up in the edge and there's a pressure on the play throws out of the back of the end zone second and goal from the three yd line now was a tough spot with that athletic defensive line of [Music] cler Casey crwby checks in let's see if Casey can get his first touchdown of the year it's all he did a year ago off the right hash mark second and goal from the three yard line Denson's the back hson moving around late now Bentley changing things up steps back talks to Denon shotgun snap Bentley running with B up the middle and the Tigers stuff him Bentley was counting numbers over there on that left side but they clamped down fairly quickly I don't know if he gained any on the play Leland frell again with another stop Bo like this Tigers woke up as soon as Carolina got in the Red Zone yeah we struggling a little bit this year only scoring 61% of the time TD so rest of the time is just fi goes Edwards comes in for Chavis Dawkins Jacob August in as well 12 second left on the play clock bu chance yeah weed and here comes bus champ down the sideline to call timeout we have to call timeout yeah we look why not that's all right yeah it's pretty important down seven here in the first half will'll step away the Gamecocks on a third and goal from the three when we come back on the Gamecock IMG Sports Network third and goal from the three and this crowd knows it's a big one b tenson in the ball game and tail by Casey cr's in the lineup as well Brian Edward the biggest wide receiver is over to the near side feo split out to the left Bentley working off that right hash mark buckles up that helmet down 147 looks back at the sideline one more time now changes things up Denson comes over to get the call Clemson shifts around Bentley out of the gun fakes inside wants Corner rout Back In The End Zone incomplete to Smith he got tripped up with the defender on the play and never really had a chance on that corner route Isaiah Simmons and him got caught up maybe should not have warranted a penalty but fourth down now coming for the game c game C's going for it wow down seven with 1216 to go in the second quarter will muschamp Ryan McLendon Dan wner the offensive staff lineing up three wide receivers left side and Monon now coming in motion over to the right side is Shai Smith Bentley up the right hashmark looks at in the fourman front Blitz up the middle Bentley Punk fake throwing Back In The End Zone incomplete incomplete Tigers take over on Downs he wanted Brian Edwards in the back of the end zone and Clemson takes over and Carolina gives up the three points as Tanner Muse was covering on the play actually a pretty good ball for a jump ball in the back of the end zone Edwards on Ed just can't come down with it and will mus champ decides not to go for the field goal and the Tigers take over on their own three yd line Tigers begin the three first and 10 from his own three hand off feaser right side stacking him up fer pushes across the five yd line we'll call it a three yard gain on the play for the spart andberg tail back was the 100 meter champion in high school one thing about Carina one thing about coach must champ going for that that meant he was serious we're serious about this football game we're not coming here just to get points so he also knows that this offensive team we're playing against Clemson you got to score and get points every time you're down there but regardless he wed seven not three that was a 12p drive with no points but Carolina had this defense off the field to see if they can hold wide receiver screen set out to the outside that's Amari Rogers pumps up to about the 10 yd line good tackle from the inside out Danny finel what a job he's doing tonight Tommy usually plays defensive end his played tackle outside linebacker because of all the injuries he's tring to basically play strong safety tonight he makes the stop there for four yards bu kuamu now comes in the big Corner Danny finel out of the ball game and it's third down and three with 1110 to go in the second quarter cson up 14 to7 Carolina boy pressuring that line of the scrimage man coverage on Lawrence out of the gun quarterback lost one down the near sideline T Higgins jump ball got it flag on the play pan Nixon covering on it and I assume that's going to be defensive pass interference and the completion 28 yards wow that's the difference they caught one we did not yeah they had a hide Advantage here pass interference on the defense number five that penalty that's a good play number nine on the penalty number nine on the penalty that's a good play if you're in the end zone too if you got that nice hide advantage and really the only hide Advantage we have when the offensive wide outs right now would be Edwards and that's not a lot of highight Advantage either but he ran the same play down there three times and he was the only one that um came close to it so again the Tigers get out of the shadow of their own End Zone and get a first down this one on a 28 yd reception to T Higgins and Lawrence lines back up first and 10 at his own 38 yd line fakes inside wants to go down the middle got a complete CAU Justin Ross the 64 10 Pounder from Phoenix silly Alabama a 17 yd completion another tiger first down boy they're getting inside on those Slants and skinny post a lot and easily right now we were just a hand away from making it interception there maybe breaking it up just not able to get there three wide receivers right side they'll go to the ground game up the middle and that's fer On The Run find a crease and he's inside the gamec 30 yd line on a 16 yd run on the play hurry up for the Tigers D Rob on that sideline trying to find something same play up the middle and again fer finds the second level before TJ Brunson comes over and makes a stop that's an eight yard gain on the play and now fer comes out and etns back in that's not good for the game Cops when they rotate these good guys they can all play second down and two with 944 to go in the second quarter Tigers up 14-7 Lawrence G all the way at quarterback two wide receivers they're stacked each side wide receiver screen to the right side to Amari Rogers he's got the first down knocked out of bounds on the far sideline that's good for a three yd gain on the play Lawrence came into the game 65% completion in Carolina's got a Gamecock down on that far sideline number up on the and that's Staley the outside linebacker from Columbia South Carolina came to the game with 14 tackles as they work on demman will step away on the Gamecock IMG Sports Network that got demman Staley off to the Gamecock sideline another injured Carolina football player the Gamecocks trying to hold on right now just down seven after they went 12 plays and got no points well much champ went forward on fourth down and goal from the three yard line now the Tigers driving with 931 to go in the second quarter and tight end split out to the right side is Richardson and it's first and 10 at the Gamecock 18 yd line Reno and Roger out left side eighth play of the drive for the Tigers they came from their own three yd line hit T Higgins on a third down for 28 yards and etns in the ball game to the left of Lawrence out of the gun etn right side trying to spin his way back way to the middle there's a flag thrown right in that pile as sherro green made the stop on etn but let's check the call it's usually either a face mask or holding that direction Matt laugher like the Cole personal foul hands to the face number three on the defense half the distance first down Tommy those can be accidental and will give him the benefit of Doubt on those plays but you don't want to lose your Poise here got a good stop on etn on the Run play that time and there's Ken la driving the ball excuse me driving his hand up into the offensive lineman so now it's first and goal from the eight Warren's got a hush crowd here for the moment and etn2 is right out of the back field coming in motion across his face they fake to him and go to etn trying to get to the corner at the five they take him down around the four yd line and Brad Johnson makes the stop on the play a four yd gain second down and goal from the four clock running at 847 in the second quarter Trevor Lawrence on the day 13 of 15 for 180 yards The Freshman out of the shotgun and off etn the backfield Stutter Step at the two Falls forward to about the one yd line Brunson was in there just I'm not I'm not sure what that was about I mean looked like he wanted to tack him then he hesitated didn't tackle him and just got fed him out a little bit I guess third and goal gc's got massive substitutions in there Mamu splits out to the right side The Freshman cornerback for Carolina from Boer City Louisiana the lone wide receivers in front of it Lawrence hand off straight at the middle that's Wilkins Christian Wilkins the defensive tackle and they push him back on a good stop and we'll see now what that D sweey wants to do on fourth down will bus jamp went for went for it and Ricky Sandage The Freshman sto Wilkins on the play so the Tigers a little cute with their big defensive lineman all Amer in at tail back and they're going to leave him in there yep fourth and go fourth and goal the Tigers going forward on fourth down at the one Lawrence under Center tall sweep right side Wilkins cutting back into the end zone B [Applause] CHR they love to celebrate with 42 and they weren't going to give up on it and the extra point can make it 21 s there is a flag on the [Music] play flag and the end Zone's been picked up and see if they make the [Applause] call still talking it over it may have been celebration which would be handled on the kickoff probably was 97 y dri score on Sportsman like cond number 42 on cleansing that penalty being forced on the kickoff that is number 42's first UNP conduct the game is good the game cat went for for it on fourth down on the three yd line did not make it Clemson takes it over so no points for Carolina but with it made it s 14-10 no points for Carolina still at 14 to7 C moves at 97 yards and 12 plays that's now 21 to7 the reality of that is Will mus champ must have known we're not going to stop them more unlikely we're going to get more than one snap stop or not hugle comes into to attempt the extra point some good penetration by Carolina but they can't deflect the football and it is 21-7 Tigers but you're right Tommy the the reality of it is Will mus champ now he's going to get very few stops tonight with the defense he's got and he went for it and I'm not sure I'm rationalizing going for it there but you know that's what he was thinking no question about it no question let's go down to Langston on our blue CL Blue Shield sideline report Langston yeah guys a couple series ago K Thomas went out he's been back out he got retap and uh looks to be on the bike warming an ankle up deont Stanley's been over here doing a high kneel deal so I think both of those guys should be good go forward thank you langson that's a pet of Health in report from Langston Bo a depleted team already and here's Debo Samuel with a chance now Tommy after the penalty on Christian Wilkins for a celebration in the end zone after his touchdown the Tigers have got to kick off in their own 20 yard line all touchbacks tonight from BT Potter The Freshman who's kicking off from his own 20 now Hancock's got to be ready for anything here though with a 14-point lead 723 to go in the second quarter Potter runs up just inside the left hash mark and Debo certainly runs up takes it at the 15 yd line up the near hash the 20 25 and stuck at the 25 yd line maybe gets to the 26 or so and the tiger fans you can hear them breath the sigh of relief as they know Debo's dangerous just an 18yd return on the play Isaiah Simmons the find safety and outside backer for Clemson making stop not a lot of blocking on that by the Carolina team I mean that's one of those you really need to lick your chops onone and say we're going to get this thing down the field and get good field position maybe around the 35 40 yard line but just Thon came down and just just really just stayed in their lanes and our guys didn't do what they were supposed to do Carolina 156 yards a total offense to 259 for the Tigers and here's J Bentley KN out on the field with Bond Denson to his [Laughter] right everybody split out to the left side three wide receivers are now Denson to the left side they'll run it with a sweet play right B not much going he breaks one tackle with just pure effort on the play on Tanner M coming up to make the stop but it's a 5 yard gain on the play nice job by Denson with 705 to go in the second quarter yeah keep those legs pushing get that forward lean and I just he's really work himself in with a with a fair number of carries to being a pretty good running back for the Carolina I don't think we got anybody else tonight either really much to help it Kil par checks in and into the boundary Jake Bentley fakes he wants to go down the field it's under some pressure rolls right pumps the arm now trying to get somebody dropped it off can't do so is it's tipped away at the last minute Brian Edwards was closest to it and that's Tanner Muse again knocking that football Away defly really more of a thr way on the play Edward H right on the sideline sometimes you can throw a receiver open and I wish you had come down the field that time with shy Smith down here just put it up a little bit let him adjust to it make the catch but he was under pressure running for his life and did the right thing they had a good first down play of five yards but now they find third down and four with 642 to go and Bentley got all those all-americans in front of him they're moving around front PO for the Tigers they Rush three Bentley rolls left side Bentley check down throws late got a man open and is C to 40 30 25 20 15 10 five k Pard touchdown Carolina touchdown kill Pard 67 yards Bley rolls left side and a small crease was all that was there to get it to par down the field the extra point could make it 2114 Tigers I don't know why it took you so long to call it I saw it early no doubt I'm sorry I didn't mean to step 629 to go in the second quarter that quieted this crowd here who scoring touchdowns and having celebration penalties hold on Bentley with an ad Li and Par with the second touchdown of the year and Parker white comes on and caps it off 214 and that changes everything with 629 to go you know Todd a good play call because they moved they knew there would be coming on the rush they moved Bentley out of the pocket rolled him out to the left side to the wide side of the field he had enough time he stopped and he threw back across the middle so good play design second touchdown of the year for Pard they cut it to seven we'll be back in the Gamecock IMG SP they send they tend to send those linebackers put a lot of pressure on Bentley offensive line for Carolina so far TI doing a really good job giving Bentley enough time Bentley 16 of 25 216 yards in the first half and two touchdowns well Tommy to kick off for the Gamecock and the left footer runs up high end overend returnable at the two yd line taken by Kendrick and Kendrick gets stumbled and then hit again at the 30 yd line Carolina had a chance about 10 yards before that Tommy but couldn't break him down and it's actually ke par to just C the touchdown it's a 27 yd return for the Tigers in good field position up at the 30 yd line plenty of time to go in the second quarter 623 to go so um Clemson with lot of fireworks left in this first half they've moved the last couple drives one5 yards and 197 yards so this is easy territory for him first and 10 with etn in the back field pistol formation behind Lawrence The Freshman quarterback hands off etn trying to bounce to the outside got some room at the 30 towards the Gamecock bench and hit hard knocked to the turf on that edge but he gains seven or eight on the play be second and short for the Tigers RJ rod with a nice hit boy he can make plays like that he can play in the conference for a long time it is a gain of eight with 609 to go three wide receivers to the left side for the Tigers and they're all orange tonight undefeated on the season number two in the country Lawrence again etn up the middle blocking over the left side for etn stood up push back but he did get the tiger first down on a four ydd run on that right hat Mar PN needed one more rushing touchdown tonight he could break the deadlock with Lester Brown and James Davis in 2006 and Gman of course we all know take sole record of the touchdown record came in with 17 first and 10 for the Tigers Lawrence out of the gun again etn to his left fake inside Lawrence in the pocket under some pressure now the big guy rolls left side going to run the 40 455 Lawrence down the field finally Runs Out of Bounds Ken La is hurt back at the 30 yd line he was the one pressuring and he can't quite come up with it and Lawrence makes him pay for it runs out left side for 36 yards well Lawrence has 66 215 220 and you don't think about him as a running quarterback Todd but you know he can move it once he gets outside the pocket he came into the game with 40 rushes for 84 yards and just went 36 there and K has had a bad hip in groin steps out and I think he's mad Tom he's punching the turf down there because he knows if he was healthy he might have had a better shot at get Lawrence yeah no question about he's lming as he walks off as you just said it hopefully he'll get over there and get get in the medical tent get back CU we need him kall came in the game with 39 total tackles nine tackles for a WS 3.5 sacks Lawrence now takes a Rogers in motion across from him fakes to him hands up off middle that's Feer in his second double Feer at the five and down to the two yd line Adam Choice with the run that time 24 yd gain on the play right where kinlaw just left yeah we had some guys late coming off blocks reaching out with their arms he just ran right through them first and goal to [Music] one Lawrence long delay hand off inside CH Choice into the end zone two yd run boy Trevor Lawrence with that long run for 36 yards and then Choice took over there afterwards and the tigers are up 274 the extra point upcoming yeah just five plays 70 yards forson 449 to go into second quarter Greg hugle set to kick the extra point snap it back put it down it's not had great snaps tonight gets that one down and up good job by the holder will Sweeny on that one and will stay here and talk to Langston on the P of Health in rep Langston the one of the things we were talking about was K Thomas coming back he's been out here but Danny finel now has a bad guys and it looks like pull that's not a good sign again a guy that's been replacing brys Al Williams DJ want so again it just gets more and more bad news for the G especially on defense L did you say Danny Fel Danny Fel number 35 picking out the ice bag w i I think we just got to suit up Lon and just take whatever the NCAA gives us yeah stop the bleeding at this point gosh [Applause] Tiger Strike Back In a Hurry after the Gamecock hit him with a 67 yd touchdown pass to ke Pard on third down and just like that back on top two touchdown lead and Potter to kick off end over in Kick and over the head of Debo Samuel plenty of time remaining full 49 in the first half Carolina with two time outs remaining getting cooler out here on a Brisk nice fall November even got lucky today though Todd as you all know last night in Greenville raining sideways this morning was nasty clouds all over the place but I guess around 3:30 to 4 it broke and we've had a nice [Music] day Carolina hits the field now the Tigers feeling themselves trying to get this crowd back into it they got emry and Henry again and Dylan wam goes right side split out and there just one tackle now Deo Samuel lines up in the slot clinson trying to adjust Bentley wants to throw it out of this package and Bentley's got Samuel away open the 45 run Deo at the 30 20 St Deo Stam in Memorial Stadium 75 yards oh Brian McLendon dialed it up and number one got behind him in a hurry touchdown Carolina Deo Samuel just like that boom it's 208 20 with the extra point upcoming that was so easy it was like oh the formation had a throw right from the beginning and also again one-on-one blocking up front Zack Bailey did a great job on on uh Wilkins that time outstanding job up front by the offensive line Parker white might be kicking in an open Walmart parking lot it's so quiet out there just stun this stadium and he gets the extra point down just seven again we'll step away the Gamecocks fighting tonight in this series on the Gamecock IMG Sports Network let's go back to Clemson the voice of the game Coxs Todd Ellis Todd oh what a play call on first down from Brian McLendon they lined up in emry Henley and split out Dylan wam to the right side Debo comes in motion into the slot got three now good addition you mean all year I'm good on that math here's will Tommy to kickoff again will and overend kick High deep Kendrick takes it he's at the 10 15 cutting back Carolina there they bring him down but he's up to the 25 yd line nice kick nice run nice coverage on the play that time 25 yd return and the Tigers take back over deani Staley on the stop it's good to see him back in there he's the one a few that have come back in let it be said when it was 649 to go in the first half I said there's plenty of time for more fireworks little did I know this is what we'd be seeing there still plenty of time 4:30 way with things going out that' be about four more scores well Clemson scored on three plays before Carolina on one play to cut it back to seven ly J Dixon The Freshman from Butler Georgia comes in a tail back he's gifted now Lawrence out of the gun he'll go to lyj Dixon and they'll break a tackle over to the left side the second level cutting back and finally steps out of the bounds Carolina again Tommy had him about for a two or three yard and the fresh legs of Dixon broke the tackle in gain 10 yeah we're just not quite big enough strong enough or quite honestly maybe good enough to get off some of the blocks and make those tackles and of course we're missing so many players on the on the defensive side wam could be backing that Sterling Bryson Allen Williams a lot of players we missing Lawrence out of the shotgun again takes the Freshman to his right two wide receivers into the boundary Lawrence hands off to Dixon inside making his way to the next level and up to the 45 yd line Caroline trying to pull the football away Ernest Jones a part of that tackle and that looks to be right at the marker if it's not a first down hey these guys though they're playing hard as they can on defense no question about it this coaching staff is coaching hard as they can as well so um not taking anything away from the effort 2821 Tigers they're at their own 45 yd line Josh Bel to the ball game now on a second down and very short for Lawrence out of the gun and hand off inside tra etn back in for the Freshman he runs up to the tiger Paul and gets the first down on a 5 yard gain on the play and the clock rolling Clemson got three timeouts remaining plenty of time really as etn stutter stpp took his time through there Trevor Lawrence has gone at quarterback the whole day 13 of 15 180 yards and a touchdown they had thrown in about two or three series he did throw a touchdown Rosendo Lewis in the ball game now and now they do go wide receiver screen out right side for not even hit for five or 10 yards finally knocked out of bounds on the plate and that's uh Kendrick on the plate the Arion Kendrick and he's got another tiger first down can't get that on a 13 yd gain from a wide receiver screen boy looks like to me there some pretty good holding out there good gosh brother wide out some clums and particularly on montac and rodri they got it into Gamecock territory at the Carolina 37 yd line wide receivers under the boundary that's the right side Lawrence hands off right side not much going this time and good stuff by Rosendo Lewis on etn over to the right side it's a one yard gain on the play be careful we need to watch we need to watch uh Lawrence keeping it on the outside that time Lewis Jr linebacker freshman he look at it made sure he didn't have the ball then he came in but we don't want that one-onone match up etn up to 54 yards on 12 carries now he gets behind Lawrence over to the left side 216 left in the half Qui crowd here right now Lawrence does want to throw it this time it goes back shoulder Fay T Higgins incomplete good coverage by our freshman Mamu on the play Israel Mamu on the tiger bench and Lawrence and Higgins can't quite hook up and that's going to bring up third down and nine with 208 to go in the half yeah they were going for the back shell to throw up B Todd and just not there I think I see kenlaw David Spence or spotter do I see number three back in there at nose tackle we'll check he's talking to his partner there we'll turn his shoulder pads yeah that's him kenlaw back in and Lawrence now out of the shotgun on third down of nine in the pocket throws wide receiver screen and wide receiver falls down incomplete pass that's fourth down the tigers are going to walk away and step to the sideline a conservative play call that time from Tony ell but it's been so good for them and just not a good play call well not a good pass that time by um by L I believe they're gonna go for it Tod or with 204 to go yeah got timeout called well I don't know maybe they aren't no they're pting they're pting will Spears comes on to cut uh to punt the sophomore with a 40.1 yard average long of 63 we hope he kicks a 63 y now standing back just into his own territory at the 49 and a pooch punt end over end nobody back to the Gamecock the Tigers can't get it it goes into the end zone oh my goodness that was not a good play by Clemson that ball they could have caught it right there that looked like a bunch of cows and a pasture down the street here sitting around a pile of corn nobody can decide to go for it first you know what happens in cases like that is we a lot of us in life spend a lot part of our time letting something trying to make something perfect that time they could have easily caught it have been what the two yard line in the air yeah that's what I'm saying but no they wanted to stop it on the one foot line so I mean guys just grabbing figu with Clemson but Carolina gets a good break here 20 yd line 156 to go in the game first Carolina got two timeouts remaining they scored on one play before and they come back in emry Henry again split out Dylan wam to the right side mon Denson's in the back field Bentley takes Debo in motion they flip it to him Debo on the end round split out left side Deo the cut another one tigers with good Pursuit towards the Gamecock bench and they hold it to a three- yard gain so em and Henry a big part of Carolina tonight Kenneth Jose slows that one down with 140 to go clock running Bentley quickly back up to the line of scrimmage Edwards moves over to the right side empties the set plenty of time curl route Edwards brought up the 34 one move the 35 drops his shoulder and gets over to about the 45 yd line by but hold on a flag on the play back at the line of scrimmage at the 22 Yeah that didn't look good nor to drop it over there on the side like that is something about maybe a legal procedure or possibly the defense being offside but our guys are walking back an eligible player downfield on the offense number one he was covered up and went downfield on the pass that's a 5y penalty replay second out or the Rarity from Deo Samuel I can't remember the N penalty was on him a 21 yd game is negated Tommy that would have really given you some help of getting the ball down you get one screen or two and next thing you know Parker White's kicking a field goal but this backs it all the way up to the Carolina 19 yd line still 124 to go to Todd how many timeouts game c got with two time out two time outs remaining yeah all right temperatures getting cooler Jake Bentley rubs his hands three wide receivers to the right two to the left nobody in the back field three-man Rush Bentley quick throw to the outside got a man wide open to can stay in bouns Casey Crosby with the catch easily for seven yards but nobody with him he could have gone up the sideline that's two passes in the road Todd we have had people wide open there's no one there CL was double teaming the guy that released down the middle of the field and no one was in the flat tigers in a fourman front Bentley back to work while throw got plenty of time curl rout picked off tigers have got Bentley at the 35 yd line JD Davis the local flener product after the Gamecocks get a stop Bentley tried to go curl route late pretty good play by JD Davis really yep Bley just didn't see him and you know just it's hard to it's just dangerous to go late across the middle if you're a quarterback but that time if he'd have waited just a little bit and let Davis clear the route he' been sitting in there perfectly but now this game can change right here with 107 to go in the first half Carolina's got 315 total yards of offense 302 of those are Bentley throwing the football but he makes his first big mistake now the Tigers come in with 107 to go and with that 28-21 lead in the first half Lawrence in the pocket wants to go to the air down the sideline comeback drout caught to 10 flag on the play into the end zone Amari Rogers One play but hold on let's make sure it's not offensive pass interference it's pass interference for sure just who's it on interference offense number three 15yd penalty replay first down the rare push off from the offensive player caught and you saw what I saw from this far away was Rogers hands extending that's the problem you can't get away with so Rogers with the catch and turn on the comeback route I got caught with a push off I think I saw that today when Auburn Alabama game tied with a guy CAU a long pass for Al fman rather for a touchdown looked to me several times on TV they had the arm extended but they didn't call it that one was a good call right there though yeah this really puts the Tigers back to Midfield Rashad Fenton was defending on the play and Lawrence now's got a line up at the Carolina 48 yd line just exactly one minute to go first and 25 for Lawrence Carolina looking like they want to press in Blitz they do not they Rush three Lawrence quick throw to the outside got his man and then knocked down immediately on the play for Rosendo Lewis good job coming out of the tackle and Amari Rogers eight yard gain on the play with 53 seconds and timeout Tigers the game to 55 seconds 55 seconds that's a 30 second timeout Bo you saw the arm on Lawrence on that play Tom he really gunned it out there with Rosendo Lewis getting out in the flat he was able to whiz it by his ear and strike out there he's been everything that they thought he was he was a five-star quarterback number one quarterback in the country that gets to come in behind Des wats so the Tigers bringing three wide receivers out to the left side on a second down and 17 with 55 seconds to go feaster's in the backfield Lawrence has done all the work so far throwing the football out of the gun light slate he fakes inside backs up almost stumbles now lines up throws way back across the field for Reno got him at the 25 Carolina tries to strip it away can't do so with Monta but it's a 15yd gain on the play they needed 17 for first down with 45 seconds to go they take another timeout and they'll have one remaining well just got to give credit to R to Lawrence that time child because he was able to move around the pocket enough to buy time and Carolina just dropped a lot of people out and carage didn't rush with three people maybe four people at the most and just couldn't get to him and rfo just seems to find that wide open space when he has to I know one thing Tommy if I was Trevor Lawrence who's got a skilled offensive line and I hear Bryson Allen Williams is out DJ wanam is out Ken's been out a couple of times Danny pel's been hurt back in as well that gives you confidence in the pocket there's no question I mean whether you're eyeballing anybody or not you know they're four best rushers are not going to be in the game I agree with that and I Tell You Folks Clemson's got a good defense Alabama does all these people do but no team can stand the injuries on defense with the starters and survive and be as good as they normally are I don't care how deep you are here's Lawrence now a third down and two he's going to run the football up the middle and they got it on first down with Trevin fer now they're going to line back up in a hurry as the clock runs at 42 it should when they reset it 41 Lawrence under Center snaps the football got one timeout remaining but they burn a down with 38 seconds to go in the half they up by seven number two team in the country nobody scored in the last three ball games on them more than just a couple of touchdowns in [Music] total no more than 16 points and now Lawrence sets back up quickly after they mark it second down in 10 after they Spike the football two wide receivers each side Caroline on a blitz up the middle Lawrence fade route left side once he wants Ross and it's thrown out of bounds and no penalty on the play and that's kishan Nixon covering again another back shoulder type throw Tommy pretty good coverage by Carolina yeah pretty good coverage a good call by the official because Carolina got lucky on that one I think that BS out of bound so I think it's the right one yeah the official said it was over does this sign moving over his head catch left hand which means it's not catchable so all right they line up with four wide receivers again now clock at 34 seconds left third and 10 for LS he's getting a quiet crowd a little bit of movement no call in the pocket guns it down the middle dropped dro Ross dropped it on a post route the same matchup left side and Ross it was a little low on the play and they're going to bring out the field goal unit at least show it with Greg hugle and that's a win for the game cotion it comes at the expense of a drop pass yeah you got to catch that one if you're Ross and he knows that everybody knows that because the pass was a little low but quarterback can't be perfect he receivers here Clemson are very good receivers and certainly he he should have caught that one hugle to line up off the left hash mark on a 39 yd attempt he's 9 of 12 on the year with a long of 45 let's block one get a little momentum snap it back put it down not a great snap fugle gets it off no good no good you DN right and the Tigers dejected come back towards the near sideline the Gamecocks are going to take the football with 25 seconds remaining in the first half down just seven to the number two team in the country not two big stops right there on defense number one we forced Clemson to punt for the first time and we got the ball down on the 20 yard line he should have been on the one yd line but Clemson messed up we got on the 20 the interception they took it over on the 33 Carolina's 33 and came over with no points all right now I'm getting greedy let's go score you are 25 seconds I need to go to the bathroom 2821 they take a KN with Jake Bentley and step to that locker room I'm liking we're going to get l more with Will bu Champion I think we got him right now yeah coach first half we have six possessions we got some things St in the last half that make sure that field goal got overcame that turle well we're hanging by thre we lost Danny finel Dennis and Bryson are playing our guys are playing their butts off we got about four two freshman in this environment they're playing as hard as they can play we're a little limit and what we can do yeah these guys are finishing strong that's what we got to do to finish the game I'll let you get to the guys in the locker room back up to you guys in the booth thank you Langston so much watch that's will mus champ with our own Langston Mo Carolina just down seven and they put 21 on the nation's number one scoring

Todd BR thank you so much appreciate blood light too for their halftime reports all year long Gamecock lost the toss Clemson elected to take the second half they deferred and K poops out on the field on a night where the temperatures are DED into the 40s now but still gorgeous for football thanks for being with us on the hcock IMG Sports Network 116th version off Carolina versus Clemson and the Gamecocks right now kind of stunning this crowd they're down by seven but Clemson was holding teams to an average of 254 yards of total offense Carolina and the at 3:14 and will Tommy Tommy will kick off the football the left handed and left footed kicker kicks off to Kendrick and it's a Touchback on the play come out to the 25 yd line Tommy they Tigers scored on their first four series and then gamec got two stops and really if you could get two or three stops a half that's pretty good against this offense right now as depleted as Carolina is no Danny finel no Bryson Allen Williams no no DJ wam no JC horn for Carolina no Jam Williams no Jam Williams and a bunch of others who've been out for a while Carolina though even down some tonight and here's Trevor Lawrence set out to with etn in the backfield they'll start with etn straight up the middle again it was over 50 yards rushing in that first half and grinds his way up the middle for eight yards tigers not bashful about running the football in the first half they had 178 yards rushing and threw it well when they wanted to Lawrence again going a hush crowd here with a fourman front front of him three wide receivers left side and is quick wide receiver screen and the Gamecocks are out there in a hurry Rosendo Lewis what a great job from the linebacker spot on a Marney Rogers and for the first time tonight no gain on that play and it comes from the Freshman linebacker excellent job by Lewis who's been trying to find a way to get in the lineup they said he will strike you he can hit you he's been having a little difficulty coming up with the calls and finding it but man he did on that play and that brings up third down and two for the Tigers just underway here in the second half Tigers up 28-21 Lawrence out of the back field it'll be etn up the middle and a first down for etn and Brunson drags him down but he gets all the way across the 40 yd line on a nyd gain on the play tigers canvert really been going right up the middle right now at that time Carolina's got Ken in the ball game and Brunson up the middle along with Kobe Smith Ken went out looked like he was hampered Again by that hip and going he's been fighting through it for a while so on a first down with 1328 to go in the third quarter Lawrence back to work and running again and that's etn over to the right side and etn there's a flag on the play it might be face masking on the Gamecock just came up on the edge on the play rendo Lewis freshman linebacker from personal foul face mask on the defense number 42 15 yd penalty first down he was an early in roll Lee was Lewis and he just got the hand up in the face mask to etn on that one really surprised Clemson had gone for to that run but on the outside a little bit because of her weakness not the weakness necessarily but yes it is the way weakness based on all the guys being injured there playing second third teamers out there Adam Choice into the ball game now for etn first down for the Tigers they've got at the Carolina 35 yd line Choice over the left side P behind that big offensive line Choice still grinding inside the Carolina 30 yd line all on the ground so far they're taking a Playbook Tommy of the Florida Gators and not messing around here sheni blacksher makes the stop but not before a sixy gain on the play yeah what that does Just Tires you out it just beats you up up front we've rotated a lot of people this year up front last Thomson defense the down coach has but regardless when you got people out you run into team like Clemson they'll they'll kind of grind you down second down and five after the choice run and it'll go in but again left side met in the pocket by sherro green with Choice trying to drive him back now the Gamecocks push as they try to rip the football out it's a three yard gain on the play with green making that stop boy kenlaws hobbling off again Tommy on the bench yeah he's playing hurt so many these guys are playing so hard playing hurt playing everything he can out there just gutsy gutsy performance first drive of the second half of the Tigers and they got a man on late and they'll set up in way for Garrett Williams the Knoxville fullback comes in etn is behind you third down and two 1156 to go in the third quarter motion in front of Lawrence Mari Rogers sets up the right side now they're going to reset two seconds left in the play clocking Davos s he wants a timeout The Freshman quarterback maybe makes a mistake there for the first time today as dbo raises his hands and looks like like what are you doing looking back to the sideline with two seconds left on the play clock there Timeout on the field we'll be back on the game clock IMG Sports Network Ricky Sanden Kobe Smith and Brad Johnson right now is our front four it's a third down and two with 1149 to go in the third quarter it's still 28-21 Tigers their first drive of the third quarter and they were a little conservative Lawrence in the first half at the end of it let's see how they do here on third down he's got etn to his left K A Crowd the line of scrimmage etn over the left side cut the first down inside the 20 yd line there's a flag on the play and Carolina's clapping like this may go against them Ricky sandic is clapping his hands Clemson's walking back to the Huddle too so I think it must have been hold holding we's see holding offense number 75 10 yd penalty boy that's Mitch hayatt they All-American from Sugar Hill Georgia an outly trophy candidate and he's matched up against Ricky Sandage I don't even know how we're Fielding this team right now frankly if they're not scoring every two or three plays well we got four unbelievable we got four true freshman on the field right now defense against the number two team in the country but that time no wonder he had many room cuz he just actually pulls sandis down and that brings it to a third and 12 after the penalty they back up Lawrence and now Fenton playing the slot gerod green goes out and covers him and Lawrence wants to throw the football cross the middle down the middle at the 15 yd line of diving Ren throw Hunter Ren throw and a perfect throw from Lawrence not much you can do on that one they got the right guy on him and Fenton but a 20 yard gain good gracious I tell you though you just rro just makes the plays they just throw it he just got to give him credit you got to give that young man credit Lawrence after the first down the penalty doesn't do the Gamecocks any justice and they'll go back to the ground game etn over the left side getting to the edge montac holds on to the hips and gets him out of bounds on that far sideline a gain of six and they'll be just outside are on the Carolina 5 yd line and and muuk kuamu it looks like another Corner goes down and the Freshman quarterback is laying over there towards the Gamecock bench reeling back and forth I saw him grab his Cal and then he looked at Coach T robob Tommy and got some indication he better get down if he can't go and he's done just that yeah our training staff was late they didn't see him out there he's kind of roll around on the field by himself out there but finally they recognized someone was down over there not their fault of course but coach muschamp looks at muuk kuamu and he'll work on it looks like it could be a cramp Tommy on a night that's in the 40s but he does look like he might be crampy yeah it does look that way because they've got the L leg this the pain lifted off the ground and they're playing with a little bit nor if it's they certainly not moving around and somebody else is helping if it's a tear or strain or stressor otherwise will mus champ what a unbelievable job they've done Patchwork defense tonight to come in we got a long way to go it could get ugly and the gamec could win it for that matter but just remarkable plan tonight trying to be in this ball game and you know as I do Todd you know Thanksgiving week but he was very positive about everything and a lot of lot of fun this week at practice and a lot of good things happening and wasn't intimidated at all and would not let this football team be that way so they got Mamu up and Dexter Lawrence working off the left hash mark with two wide receivers into the boundary now they run him in motion across his face fake inside run up the Middle with etn and he drags a Carolina player down to about the two yard line or so he needs to get to the two to get a first down and tigers have got a man down tonight so back-to-back injuries one for the Gamecocks and one for Clemson and there athletic training staff will move onto the field the got Gamecocks playing it for the 12th time with the Tigers on the Saturday after Thanksgiving we're glad you're with us on the Gamecock IMG Sports Network we'll come back it's 2821 tigers are threatening on the Gamecock IMG Sports Network welcome back to Memorial Stadium the Gamecocks down 28-21 and the tigers are threatening they just had an injury as well their left guard John Simpson 64 330 pounder was knocked out of the ball game uh they got it in Great field position first and goal at the Carolina 2 yd line 1032 to go in the third Lawrence has gone all the way a quarterback etn the quarterb the behind the quarterback over the left side Carolina puts a hand down right at that one yd line and two wide receivers into the boundary light side etn straight at the middle pce goes into the end zone two yd run by Travis etm and the first drive of the second half yields a touchdown of the Tigers 34 21's to score with 1021 to go in the third quarter so Carolina just couldn't slow him down Tommy had one chance with that long third down and as you said throw it to 100 run inro and he comes up with a football play right down the middle of the field hugle to attempt the extra point it's up and good and the Tigers start out that second half like they wanted to you know Tod it just puts on so much pressure on your offense when the defense is so beat up and can't you play on a great offensive team like Clon they'll do is put some more pressure on bent they got to get him uncomfortable back there because he's had a big a big first half Jake Bley has been basically all of Carolina's offense with 302 yards passing to Carolina's 314 yards of total [Applause] offense and here's Potter to kick off and this is at the one ydd line Debo Samuel bringing it up to far has Deo at the 20 runs in the back of a couple guys they get him around the ankles and bring him down so no big return yet for Debo Samuel and here comes Jake Bentley by the way and Jake Bentley on a personal note needs just 15 yards passing in the second half to break our own Tommy Suggs Mark of 316 yards for the most by South count quarterback versus Clemson and run the football guys run that's right that record's been there a long time well brother way too long thank you if he doubles it Jake Bentley out of the shotgun three wide receivers left side tail back is Bon Denson they fake to him Bentley wants to look down the middle of the fields got a man wide open caught at the 45 and Pard can't keep his feet and Pard gets it right up towards Midfield on a 27 yd reception there's that overload Tommy and the safeties don't know who to go with nice job by Bentley looking off to the right side and back to the left there's also the tight end release down the middle of the field too which is a good play emry and Henry into the boundary this time they pump fake throw to Debo Samuel Debo into Clemson territory another Carolina first down oh nice job by Jake Bentley not throwing into the arms of a Defender a 10yd gain on the play Carolina moves the chain Defender was out there I believe it was Bryant the defensive end he was out there but Bentley faked him he left his feet heo moved to the left side there with the play Amry and Henry again into the boundary they run Mont Denson up the middle this time one of the few runs so far and it's just a Oney game Clemson you know Tommy we ran that to the Wi out of the field in the first half and now twice they've run it into the boundary and we'll see if Clemson can figure out what to do of course folks that's where they run the tackle one him out and they stack him up like a split end get back in the conventional threee wide receiver set this time Josh B in the ball game Bentley in the pockets under some pressure and Jake's going to go down back beyond the 50 yd line and that's Christian Wilkins who scored a touchdown here tonight the defensive tackle goes minus n on the Play Jake just held it too long on that one Tommy yeah he really did and just again though Wilkins did make a good move up through the middle that time to beat one of our guys and get in there so we've normally been able to hold him out not that time Donell Stanley had it right over the nose and he got by Donell and that brings up third down and 17 with A45 to go movement and we shall see three sacks number 79 yd third movement right side that time by Dyan wam that's two Night by him yeah another true freshman player well this boods well for Carolina future all these freshman players show that they've been doing a good job recruiting the last few years Carolina you'll play as a freshman you don't have to wait Kyle marway checks in along with Josh van crowd likes this third down and 22 on to the right Bentley shotgun snap Bentley steps up in the pockets got some time guns it down for Mar incomplete well covered on the play and a push there late by tigers Tanner muse no penalty called and Joseph Charlton stepping on to punt the Tigers getting stopped tell me you hate that two real or three really good plays to start the drive then it sputs with some penalties in the sack well also we had that Tempo going then we stopped we stopped the tempo looked at the side line tried to get the perfect play and just didn't make it work so they know a lot more than I do but well that Tempo just tends to work against even good defensive teams because they can't get set you you you control the the play not the Defense Joseph Charlton step up to punt it and does so Rogers back to receive this is going to bounce right at the goal line and through the back of the end zone a crushing butt by Joseph Charlton backs up the Tigers another 55 y it will be a Touchback and we'll be back as the Tigers get the ball back again for the second time in the second half they lead at 3521 with 808 to go in the third we'll be back completed defense we keep saying it folks I know you're tired of hearing it but it's so true and it's only fair to mention that because no defense in America could suffer for the injuries Carolina defense has and play at the level we want to play at so it is what it is and we move on with it and our coaching staff and players just playing their guts and coaching their guts out and try to be competitive here tonight DAV Easter in the ball game at tailback and Lawrence wants to fake to him and throw the crossing route backside he's got his man Justin Ross on the play little inside on the RPO and a 14 yd gain and move the chains for the Tigers not one let me check here I think sherro green is in check that that is uh Brunson so no front four starters in as they run the football again right side feaser trying to break away the 50 ydd line Carolina trying to strip the football away and Steve Monte can't do so at Carolina's 49 yard line with a 17 yd gain on the play we need to try to stop stripping the ball and try to get him down but I don't blame him that case so he had him held up and he was trying to strip it good play first and 10 the tigers at the game coock ear 48 yd line with a four wide receiver set Lawrence wants to throw it pump fake trying to go down the field now's in trouble rolls left side throws late down the sideline that looked to be out of bounds it was on the far sideline the Gamecock bench good coverage yeah nice job Justin Ross was the receiver actually caught it but his feet were out of bounds could see that from all the way over here at the stadium Carolina six and four in the season Tigers undefeated trying to get back to the college football playoff and some teams that lost around them today including the Michigan Wolverines also Pittsburgh got thumped today by Miami who they play Clemson that is next week second down Lawrence wants to throw again backside post wide open ke Higgins or crossing around the 28 Higgins at the 20 still on his feed trying to strip the football away can't do so and he's inside the 15 yd line 34 yd gain on the play Higgins wide open on the end route Tommy you can't have that from a shot Fenton he's your senior that's exactly right he just was out of out of coverage that time and gave him way too much space little RPO run and got to respect the run but not fent he's got to cover closer 658 to go in the third quarter it's 3521 Clemson we're threatening again inside Carolina 15 they run the football with Choy s side at the 10 yd line the and that's actually T Fe the Junior goes into the end zone the 13 yd r on the play and that's a 20o lead with the extra point up coming 4121 crashing them a lot of ways either for the run or the pass that time rpos and on the ground why again you offensive we just got to be productive every time we can you the new Clemson would be successful against the defense tonight hugle will set down to attempt the extra point and he's got it 4221 and Tommy they played it perfectly they won the toss they defer to the second half and then they get the touchdown stop and then score again that's really tough to to come back from behind that second half strategy it really is and you gota you you got to think to the defensive unit for Clemson for Carolina rather so depleted we've said it so many times but that Strate works right into that and Carolina just got to be continue to be successful offensively and try to get a break or two here and there and try to get back in this game a little bit so far feaster tonight he's rushed it eight times from 64 yards etn is still the leading Rush 18 for 91 yards and Lawrence a good night 20 of 27 291 yards in one touchdown Higgins was caught five for 115 in one touchdown and Potter set to kick off lowline drive and about halfway back the endzone a Touchback Carolina the night where they have struggled to create anything other than through the air 344 passing yards Jake Bentley as we mentioned pass our own Tommy sus for the most passing yards against the Clemson Tigers and we're going to need him and everyone else tonight to be a part of that as they step back out on the field trailing now 4221 Tigers gave up that 21 in the first half they had only given up three total touchdowns in the first half Bentley to go to work throw the outside got Brian Edwards caught at the 29 tries to spin away and does not gain anything other than the four yards he got after he caught it Isaiah Simmons in it on the tack on the play Carolina moving quickly up the line of scrimmage 629 left in the third three wide receivers left side for man front for Clemson Bentley another wide receiver screen Shai Smith this time got some room at the 30 35 down the Clemson sideline knocked out of bounds that's a Carolina first down shy Smith with a career night receiving he came in with a high of five and now he's got eight on the evening eight on the evening on that 11 yard gain on the play 89 yards with that 82 to got a good shot at breaking 100 yards tonight let see four wide receivers two split out way to the right for Bentley Denson's in the backfield crwby comes in motion sits down over to the right side lson shifting around Bentley in the pocket wants to throw it guns it over to the right side and over the head of Brian Edwards the intended receiver on the play and Denson continues to take up for his quarterback Tommy Xavier Thomas in the face of Bentley that time came over there and at a word pushed him away and with 554 to go in the third quarter it'll be second down and 10 Jacob August and Casey Crosby come in that screen play in the first half for first down be a good one right now as the Tigers going to be lined up to [Applause] come and got some movement right side rosby Crosby jumped I think that's the four false startse start offense number three five yd penalty second out fourth fall start of the night second one of the half Tommy just the second drive for the Gamecock that can't ever happen with a wide receiver Crosby really doesn't make any mistakes like that that's one of the first mes of that sort I can remember him having a long time maybe ever he just doesn't do that big head player block stopped at 554 second down and 15 up coming the Tigers sense it so they love to come up and load those front four and go Bentley to go to work with Denson to his right blitzing up the middle but Denson up The Middle's got some room and across the 40 gets a bunch back a hard run and runs into Tanner use and punishes him after a seven yd gain on the play a reasonable now third down and eight yards to go clock running with 537 five wide receivers set Bentley out of the gun got a man down the middle Jacob August got a catch at the 41 they cut him down immediately but Jacob holds on and the tiger does not get up so quickly August with a big big body he's got to come out of the ball game as he got hit low as he caught in turn 17 yard gain and Denzel Johnson is the tiger that's hurt but he doesn't come out fifth reception of the year for AUST Bentley first down running the ball left side Benson's got some room breaks the tackle at the 35 finally gets tripped up around the 31 yd line he's gotten almost no one to help him tonight and there his legs caught up with him a nyd gain on the play second down and very short up coming Keel fer comes in he splits out left side with Debo Brian Edwards is all alone right side but it'll be M Denon up the middle big collision at the 30 yd line first down Gamecock boy man gave up his body there the running backs got to come out after the first down 212b junior from lra Georgia 245 yards coming into the ball [Music] game got in point Rico 37 yards check that 39 yards on 11 carries now Rico dle comes in but Bentley wants to fake the throw and hand to Rico on the draw play left side another creative wrinkle from Brian McLendon hand off on a little cutback Zone play good for six yards from D is hampered himself on the evening with a bad ankle good blocking on the left side three wide receivers and Bentley goes quickly to work wide receiver screen got Debo on the outside they get one block Debo trying to break away he Dives down to about the 20 yd line I think that's another first down from number one we'll check the Spot It is Well I frankly don't know if this fog or smoke it is a first down for Carolina lot of fog or smoke is out here Tommy from either half time or it's starting to get foggy out here the Memorial Stadium sideline looking a little rough Samuel now seven catches 119 yards and two touchdowns barway and K pardin Bentley in the shotgun down the middle of field over the head of barway Bentley knows he had him it was only a sliver down the near hash and Bentley overshot him a little bit markway not much in the vertical leap field did not get up to get it and that'll bring up second down and 10 342 to go in the third Carol is down 4221 August may have caught that taller little more athletic possibly going up after C five passes this year already Jacob augus caught one touchdown pass against um FL 11th play of the drive for the Gamecocks on this offensive series clock down to 10 as they break the Huddle and Bentley steps with Denson now back in the ball game Tigers crowd the line of scrim scrimmage Denson going to the far sideline it's the 15 10 five knock him out of Bounds at the three yd line make that the four Brian McLendon running a sweet play towards the boundary and Denson got a great block on the right side Tommy and almost got to the end zone I think the guy over there that made the good block was daily I believe but here we go Todd 16 yd gain and M Denson again this time he slips at the 5 yd line he falls forward from maybe one or two and Denson cleat just got holding the tur here at Memorial Stadium that exhausted legs he's had FL almost every snap he's back to the right of Bentley again shotgun snap again Denson left side down to about the one or two yd line and that brings up third down tried to sneak one in with that same play to Rico dle and it'll be third and goal they're calling it from the three it looks closer to that hold on with 255 remaining in the third quarter down here one another time not able to put it in so game c went for it on Fourth would probably certainly do that now but we need to score now I'd fake it inside get on the corner pitch it on the keep it or something I don't know here we go Riddles In at fullback through tail back and now there's a Timeout on the field and we'll see who called it timeout Clemson that's their second of the half I didn't like that lineup at all and Carolina will take a timeout and after a long long drive will'll be back it'll be third and goal from the three they're down 42-21 on the Gamecock IMG Sports Network third and goal from the three yd line Spencer een riddle in at fullback B Denson's at tailback one wide receiver to the right side Bentley under Center looks back from the tiger three toss sweep right side Denson trying to get to the edge will not be able to do so maybe no gain on the play and here comes fourth down the kicking team gets up off the bench and we shall see oh just another Carolina chance on fourth down to go for it fog setting in here Carolina's already gone for it fourth and goal and did not convert with 211 remaining in the third quarter down 2221 they'll line up again to do so Rico dles into the ball game right now at tail back timeout will mus champ runs over it calls timeout first shs timeout South Carolina so each team grinding hard in this series Tommy big big time as Carolina tries to claw its way back into this ball game yeah no question about it Clemson on the previous drive 80 yards and five plays on this drive so far game clocks on the two or three yd line and this drive already tied 14 plays for Carolina y good time off the clock that the tired and worn out defense has gotten the rest the Gamecocks have been able to stay out during this drive but here you got to punch it in mon Denon Tommy on that run towards the boundary just got caught and knocked out you just knew at that point it was going to get tough as Carolina on the last time time down here as you pointed out tried to throw it three times on Corner routes did not convert they ran the first two times down here and then ran the TOs Sweep with mon Denon it does not pick it up they may have lost a half a yard on that play as well with M bson yeah I just think he needs a misdirection too you know it's hard to run against probably the best defensive line in the country in short yardage situations like this the game c Tri it three times a little misdirection something a little different try to get some athletes with the ball he fers in the ball game along with Jacob logas he's to the right of Bentley watch the lead option as a flag throw the play I think some tigers are throwing something from The End Zone I think some fans were throwing objects onto the field delay again on the defense disconcerting signals half the distance fourth down wait Clemson cheat you know can't imagine that that may have had something to do with wam jumping off twice four times now total CR and Crosby going off too those guys just haven't done that so you can't scream out signals or indicate like you're calling out a Cadence if you're a defensive lineman and they got caught and that takes it down to the two so it's Fourth and goal from the two Bentley with Rico dle to the right out of the shotgun he WS it for looking in the pocket Back In The End Zone tipped away incomplete and the Tigers on Fourth and goal from the two Deo Samuel the intended receiver so hard to throw it into those little windows and Tommy frankly when we got the penalty I thought we were going to try to run the football in from that time I did I did I'm not sure I yeah I agree I saw a couple of wide receivers jumping up and down like they might have been open but Carolina can't convert just like they can't convert on fourth down in the first half and with 157 to go in the third the Tigers take over leading 42 21 you know I tell you this ball game so far been a very entertaining ball game Clemson getting the muscle a little bit here but twice inside the 5 yard line You Come Away with no points that's hurts Travis CN in the back field they'll hand to him he's bouncing his way up the middle and spinning in Carolina now pushes him back the running back there's whistle blows the Tigers don't like that he got pushed into the end zone Ernest Jones and Steven montac on the tackle the ball got down on the ground but whist was one well before that play boy nice hit by Ernest Jones I think he's going to be something Tommy up the middle along with sherro green boy the fog is really sitting in now second down and six after the run with 120 to go in the third Lawrence wide receiver screen thrown to the outside callau the 10 first down for the Tigers as they get up to the 15 Kendrick nice job by Lawrence Tommy because Carolina blitzed off that edge and they threw right to where the blitz was coming from yeah good call they read it they see film and tape like we do good play call and well designed they they run that they really run that play well a lot of it has to do with getting the ball out there quickly let the guys run in space but also the blocking down field lawence down a fresh set of downs with that 4221 lead going to run the football again up the middle pounding and up to the 20 yd line and that's a sixy gain on the play second and four upcoming for the Tigers 40 seconds left in the third quarter I thought that was a flag on the field but it's not it looks like it's a handguard or some type of piece of equipment that's on the field and some some players don't seem to be concerned about it because they step all over etn who's gotten the career record for touchdowns in a season or single season record at 18 now it's up to 101 yards rushing on 20 carries Lawrence pitches it back on the speed sweep left side that's Kendrick Down The Far Side line up to about the 40 yd line little speedster from Rock Hill South con at 6' 195 lbs South Point High School finally gets cut down by m move and that's a 19 ydd gain on the play and that will end the third quarter going to the fourth the Gamecocks put 21 on them in the first half but did not score in the third quarter we'll come back Memorial Stadium Tigers up 4221 the Gamecock ing Sports Network they get this place lit up and they've got it a 42-21 lead well we we've had our chances no question about that we played exceptional football here tonight against very good football team but inside the 5 yd line twice and no points I don't so I can guess going for it fourth down but we got to come away for some points flip ends into the field from east to west goes Trevor Lawrence they going to run the football sweeping left side wasend Lewis great job coming back along with Kobe Smith they wouldn't let him get to the edge on Lee Lynn Jay Dixon The Freshman from Butler Georgia second leading rusher on the team hadn't seen much of him tonight a lot of choice a lot of etn and Dixon gets a one yard gain on the play second down and nine upcoming just underway in the fourth quarter 4221 Warren out of the gun shotgun snap fakes it wants to go left side's under some pressure going to run gets chased out of bounds on the Clemson bench pushed out really at the 46 of the tiger so it's a 5 yard gain on the play tell me every time we've had that pressure on him he's had one way to go tonight out of bounds and Lawrence has found that space to get into he really has he's a very heavy guy sees the field exceptionally well and you know just very smart that's why he was number one of the top not the top quarterback in America and he certainly backed that up but he's also had plenty of time to throw tonight except for a few times and then he's responded etn back in the ball game at tail back it'll be third down and three just under 14 minutes left in the ball game Lawrence out of the gun it will be etn bouncing his way into the game pack territory at the 40 they trip him up the 35 on the tiger bench Kean Nixon with the tackle but not before etn gets a first down boy Tommy every time they need it they go to big number nine and he can get it for they go behind Hy over there too on that left side that allamerican offensive tackle they have and you know Todd if we don't get this game over we won't be able to see him yeah I I ran into Dan rovic the athletic director at Clemson and my longtime friend who says it's the condition they have off the Wake Lake where the lake is so close and the water is still warm and it fogs up I was like well this is not good as the Tigers run on first down with Dixon up the middle and it's really fogging up here a three yard gain on the play maybe that'll slow down uh Trevor Lawrence and Gamecock is down on the field again with 1316 to go that's that's K Thomas again hopefully that's cramps that's Thomas who went out of the ball game once already to fight back and will'll step away as well 4221 136 to go in the ball game Tigers almost into Gamecock territory on the Gamecock IMG Sports Network here's Lawrence second and eight with choice in the backfield they go wide receiver screen to the outside got a catch and chasing the reversing field on the play is Kendrick Kendrick at the 30 still on the sideline gets knocked out of bounds he needed to get to the car Carolina 24 yd line to get a first down we'll see did so much running hard to tell it is a first down for the Tigers a nyd run on the play I tell you after that catch he never saw a a piece of the field he didn't like cuz he went everywhere didn't he let's go down on the sideline our BR Blue Cross Blue Shield sideline report Langston is it bad down there is it is up here it's definitely starting to linger here more and more down here on the field level but again it's uh not too bad visibility I think it's more or Worse up top for you guys all right here's chice in the backfield now first and 10 they'll run him left side big Collision around the 15 yd line on the play a sixy gain it's stopped by Ricky Sandage and Kobe Smith tons of young players having to play in this ball game for Carolina over 300 yards rushing now for Clemson on the Tiger on Carolina 21 for hit the end carries 121 yards feaser 64 yards L himself 48 yards La out of that shot gun pistol formation hand off inside bouncing his choice at the five rolling and into the end zone with 125 to go in the fourth quarter the Tigers looking tough in the Run game a 15 y that time by choice and Tommy just mentioned those stats and they patted them again it's 4821 Clemson lson now had three unanswered touchdowns 7 5 yards 10 plays 80 yard five plays and that one was a 98 yards and 11 plays we got a Gamecock hurt who did bounce up pretty quickly as the medical staff got to him and we'll see that when we can in fact that's Lon on a pal to heal in for L who's that coming off after that defensive play GRE hug to come on to attempt the extra [Music] point Tigers get it and put 49 on the board so Carolina as Tommy mentioned not scored in three series and the Tigers have put three uned touchdowns on the board tonight it's 49-21 that's in the second half on the Gamecock IMG Sports now big ball game tonight thank everybody supported Gamecock in sports network including those who support Gamecock football with will muschamp we'll be on the bar with our chins held up high and knowing what the future might bring of course want to thank our entire staff everybody at IMG Studios Drew bracket everybody else who does such hard great work for Phil brain and everybody here of course in the booth David Spence stuck with Kershaw Adams [Music] Dan Stewart and of course Liz McMillan here's the kickoff dbo Samuel set back to receive and that's going to be over his head for a Touchback and the Carolina will have it at the 25 yd line on a night of increasing fog Langston tells us the visibility right down on the field not too bad but up in here it's certainly not a bright clear sandsbury day other than your vision of it you know the people in deck we cannot even see them so I'm assume they cannot see the field but not much of it yeah not much of it you're right okay let's go CS get some points that's right JY come out as Tommy mentioned the Tigers have scored three times now unanswered by the Gamecocks and they got it inside the 5 yd line here's Jake Bentley with M Denon and they'll hand off to mon straight at the middle going left side across the 30 yd line he pounds the turf because there was only one guy there but that's a pretty good one Kendall Joseph to make the stop a 5yd gain on the play not quite quick enough to get through there where could break it to the second they'll be back to the ground game with B leaping over the pile at the 32 or three yd line bunch of guys get in that Turf and piled up and Denon gets pulled up by the right hand a two yard gaining a Play here's third down and three for Carolina with 1131 to go in the ball game Rico gatle checks in now they line up to the left left of Jake fley Rico limited play tonight fley wants to throw it out of the gun down the middle got Deo caught at the 45 Deo trying to break away they got him by the back of his jersey and he hushes the crowd for a moment and gets another Carolina first down on a 15 yd game eight receptions now for dvo about 130 yards so no good night Jake Bentley now 25 of 39 for 375 yard and three touchdowns had that one interception on a good play by JD Davis the linebacker stepped in front first and 10 for Carolina after they convert on third down snap it back to Bentley run it up the Middle with Rico dle he's stacked up after he has a spin move around the 49 and we'll watch the progress here a two- yard gain on the play 1037 to go Carolina down 4921 good little spin move by battle that time but Clemson as a good defensive team does when you do that they have someone there to nail you and they did it sh Smith checks out of the lineup see kill pardin and deo's going to line up in the slot over here to the right side shavis Dawkins split out to the left press coverage on him and O Brian Edwards Bentley out of the gun now second down and six shotgun snap play action down in the pockets got some time throwing down to Debo diving forward at the 21 can't get get it there's a flag on the play two Defenders back there and Debo says he had a hold of him and not much argument Tommy from Denzel Johnson pass interference on the defense number 24 15yd penalty first down had no Turner was in there late and he apparently was the one that obstructed Debo he certainly did reach back for him yeah I was thinking the guy that undercut Deo is the one that they really called it on cuz he had the other guy beat I guess he was 24 that time you're right and so the Tigers have had a couple of pass interference ones and this one benefits the game pcts as well and gets it to the tiger 35 yd [Applause] line Josh van checks into the lineup Bentley out of the gun quick hitch route high but caught Edwards can't really make a move as they come slinging in there and try to tackle Edwards who does gain three on the play first one that kind of got away from Jake tonight but there was a Defender there in his face swinging his [Music] arms Casey Crosby checks into the lineup he'll line up to the left side clock running at 9:31 left in the game Bentley out of the gun eyes Brian Edwards at the last second pump fake and he wants curl rout and he overthrows Edwards He's right on the Clemson bench you could tell Tommy they made eye contact and then just could not connect yeah I think that time was a great example of the old Bentley that is he didn't step the way he was throwing it he he didn't turn his upper body correctly Todd he had his feet planted like he was going down field straight in the middle of the field with it had to go at the last minut to the right never skipped it and over threw it a little pressure that's what caused him to not take the right steps not move his upper body third down and seven Bentley out a BL it's coming across and it's thrown to Rico D it drops the football it would have been enough for a first down around the 25 yd line Jake was under heavy pressure Rico broke open and they could not connect and that's now fourth down and seven that was a good play by Bentley that time though it was not the perfect pass but again you got to catch those guys and you have a chance to do it for it oh going it fourth down again for Carolina no reason not to go for it with 917 to go at the tiger 32 yd line they empty the Back Field again Bentley all by himself they Rush five picked up initially Bentley in the gun throws Debo Samuel caught touchdown Carolina touchdown Debo Samuel 32 yards out and the Gamecocks have now scored more points than anybody on the season on the boned gunson Tigers boom he was wide open they just forgot him number eight Bo what a great job by Bentley with a head on the right forever waited and waited and waited and Drew the safety over and Debo like Tommy says wide open at the goal line really beat Carol the cornerback that time but also good protection up front guys those offensive linemen are playing the best defensive line that country going a dou good job there night Parker white JY extra points got it they're not celebrating yet it's 49 28 Jake Bentley's gone a career high in passing 28 of 44 last time we had a player over 400 yards was Dylan Thompson against alurn that's an alltime record for Jake Bentley he broke Tommy suck record against Clemson earlier and now he breaks his own personal best with a second touchdown of the night to Debo Samuel we'll be back on the gamec IMG Sports Network here's Tommy to kick it away and they had the hands team up there with Rogers back and he'll take a fair catch Clemson thinking will musam gone for everything else tonight why not the onside kick with 9 10 to go he does not he boots it away and the Tigers will take back over on offense just not quite the cushion they had before with 9 10 to go it's 4928 that's the most points scored on the Tigers all year one thing for sure in's probably not not going to win tonight but we have exposed Clemson's defense the's coming up I think some great play calling good rout run but wide open at times absolutely wide open all right here's Trevor Lawrence with etn in the back field it'll be etn a helping hand of it to the right side I'm sure for the rest of this ball game and that's a three- yard game good tackle from the outside by the Gamecocks Ernest Jones Ernest plan is by far his most tonight the Freshman from Way Cross Georgia they think he's a real Thumper can play in the middle or outside going forward and he's joined the big leagues tonight aravan feas are in the game now for the Tigers on a second down and seven with 840 to go Lawrence takes it off to fer fer gets hit in the back field and they drag him down on the play another good play from Ricky Sandage The Freshman from Concord North Carolina the USA Today all americ minus one on the play a nice tackle for a loss and that bodess well for the future so backto back plays from freshman for Carolina and the Tigers have got it third and eight with 8113 to go you want to hear it get quiet let's see if they don't pick this up Lawrence into the backfield out of the gun Carolina blitzing up the middle they protect him initially throw out route they got it but it's short of the first down it need to get to the 35 and it'll be to about the 33 or 34 yd line on that Clemson bench a six-yard gain on the play Trev and Thompson with the catch for the Tigers and Tommy let's make this distinction two years ago when we came up here there were some folks that embarrassed us as game CS no question the way they played Will mus champ was embarrassed the Tigers embarrassed us they did not do so tonight not with the heart of what we saw I agree Todd I have never seen a coach so mad in my life as I saw Will mus two years ago up here and he and deservedly so there's no question about it and we talked a little bit after the game and it was a hard one but boy how far he's brought this brought this program and as I mentioned if you think DAV Sween has done a good job at Clemson his first three years he had 26 wins Sweeney DAV Sweeny did M champ right now's got 21 with Ty Steve spur he's going probably get 22 at least because he should beat active go to Bame we get 23 so that'll be only three behind Davos Sween who was left with a lot more players than must champ was so and didn't have the injuries and all here so regardless we're in good shape we're in good shape going forward and just got a score inside to five a couple of times we get there we'll get there will Spears to punt for the Tigers out on the field he stands in zone 20 and Brian Edwards set back for Carolina spear steps to his right quick boot it rolls on the ground hobbling terrible punt Edwards says get away they do and it rolls to the Gamecock 29 yd line so I don't know if Spears panck there or not but just a 38 yard punt he's lucky he got it that far on our scoreboard tonight Tommy we may learn a little bit why the tigers are what they are ACC versus the SEC Georgia put it on Georgia Tech 4521 Florida 41 to4 over Florida State and Kentucky 56-10 Over Louisville so and then you look at uh Pittsburgh who played Miami today Pittsburgh won the division I don't what the name of it is in ACC and they played Clemson next week for the ACC Championship they got beat today by Miami so all right down 49 to 28 Jake Bentley back to work he throws the football across the middle to Brian Edwards in that zone and Brian puts a p out but can't handle it his team is down 4928 with 705 to go in the ball game Carina quickly up to the line of scrimmage Bentley's gone all the way at quarterback career night throwing the football Freeman Rush he guns it curl route outside missed it and Chavis Dawkins either didn't come back straight to the football or Bentley missed him left side but either way incomplete passing now just like that third down and 10 with seven minutes to go in the ball game Bentley 28 of 46 for 425 four touchdowns and an interception third down and 10 Clemson lines up with three they bring it Bentley wants to throw across the middle he got to scramble out left side's in trouble and gets dropped at the 25 yd line boy that's a quick three and out one of the few I think we've had on the night tonight that's minus four I thought Jake was going to step through that tackle and have plenty of green territory in front of him but they Clemson played the Zone backed up and played for the pass protection and here's Joseph Charlton to come on to put missed opportunity there to get the stop on the Tigers you got to turn around and put it right back to him Joseph Charlton with two punts tonight both of them 55 yards Amari Rogers set back to receive it at the 31 yd line and Charlton boots a spiral Rogers comes up the 35 fair catch got it cleanly and the Tigers will take back over with 606 remaining after the 40 yd par and don't forget go to southstatebank.com sideline kid or stopped by a South Carolina Branch to learn how your child can be the next South State sideline kid at the Carolina home football game Tigers back out of the field lawren stays in at quarterback up 4928 Travis etn in the ball game got their starters in late and etn weaves his way up to about the 42 yd line still driving a couple freshman offens or fresh offensive lineman in there with etn he steps out Mante Staley makes the stop it's a seven yard gain on the play let going for style point to you know this playoff now you just got to keep on positioning yourself you don't want to fall back to three or four or anything like that you never know yeah you never know Jaylen Dixon end of the ball game The Freshman will get the hand off no they f him and throw a quick out route they do so got him on the near sideline and knocked out of Bounds at the 35 yd line that's DeAndre Overton his first catch of the night good looking play good looking throw from Trevor Lawrence on an out route for 23 yards that moves chains and their into Gamecock territory clock running at 521 left and it's 4928 Lawrence no slowdown here goes back to work and incomplete pass on the wide receiver screen towards the Gamecock bench dropped by TJ Chase who's not had a catch on the night from Plant City Florida he's got 10 receptions on the year for 182 yards will Sweeney's into the lineup split out right side and Lawrence out of the shotgun counter play inside Dixon up the middle of the field the freshman holds on to the football as he falls inside the 40 Jason s 186 Pounder from Buford shth save the day a week ago when he came in for JC horn he's in it safety now as Steven Monta though RJ rodic and he makes the stop there thank goodness on the very good tail back Dixon Lawrence now on a first and 10 he'll go with Dix K he fumbles the football scramble forward the Gamecocks have got it the young freshman put on the turf and the first turnover of the night the Gamecocks take advantage just as the tigers are threatening again with 442 remaining in the ball game we were asking for a turnover earlier that's a little long little uh slower than we wanted but regardless we got one to that H Brad Johnson jumped on it as Dixon left it behind and Dixon was no rookie coming in here as I mentioned he's the second leading rusher average 105 yards game get as much action tonight maybe it showed there 442 remaining Bentley back to work got more yards he can carry right now at 425 Rico Don in the ball game he'll fake inside Bentley wants to throw it curl route Brian Edwards right in his gut at the 35 yd line they drop him immediately as Terrell was hanging on him but AJ couldn't do enough and Brian Edward Edwards with another good catch that one's good for 10 yards that's five catches tonight for Edwards Samuel Deo with nine and now running the football left side Rico dle another first down as he got to the edge Tommy it's been tough sledding in the Run game tonight and certainly on the edge for the Gamecock it really has but again that's credit to Clemson's defense those guys up front as we mentioned before they're As Good As It Gets Carolina with a hurry up out of the shotgun wants to throw quick out route a diving catch as he was falling to the turf Brian Edwards on the wet field brings it in I don't know how they'll substitute let's see there's a flag on the plate fivey penalty first down Bentley a little bit off on some of his routes when they W run that hook pattern as I call it Todd coming back to him and some of that can be the receiver not running the route as you've said so appropriate before not making the right angle coming back and others could be just bent off Target but great catch anyway penalty on the play will make it first and five for Carolina they're at Midfield with 407 to go not this would be a situation where they call the timeouts with Carolina with two remaining Josh man in the ball game Bentley snaps the ball fakes inside and hands the ball off to Rico dle up the middle at the 40 3530 trying to cut away from him at the 20 and they knock him down from behind Isaiah Simmons on Rico dle but it's a 27 yd gain Carolina's threatening again and Clemson's not playing their fourth string that's Wilkins and all those guys in there Simmons number one linebacker Bley back to work play action throwing Corner route fade route leaping catch touchdown got it touchdown Carolina touchdown shot Smith on a career night he catches he gets this one from 21 yards out and Jake Bentley has lit up Memorial Stadium tonight lit it up it's 4934 the extra point up coming that shut it down again I take Todd as you call it man that was 74 yards in h four plays game CS only using a minute 5 Seconds off the clock Tommy Carolina's put 545 yards on the nation's number one scoring defense two touchdowns in a row for Carolina unanswered by Clemson too wow what a catch by Smith he's a guy you can throw it up to and he brings it down you're right about that but he's still not a tall guy that's the problem we don't have that real tall no Trey Smith a come back will have it and also Brown Edward awfully quiet in the orange right now they got a big lead give them credit Parker white kicks it up into a foggy night in that East End Zone and gets it 4935 and the Gamecocks have already scored more points on the Tigers than anybody all season long and now have gotten the most yardage of anybody Texas A&M at 501 and the 6 and4 Gamecocks just put up 545 watch the onside kick here as Joseph charlton's in as well they boot it towards the Gamecock bench it bounces up Clemson does a good job comes over and got it Denzel Johnson I believe was the tiger that got the football excuse me 14 DeAndre Overton the wide receiver not the safety and they'll have that ball at Midfield will muschamp not just succeeding to boot the ball away down 4935 he wanted it back certainly the Tigers have given up two straight touchdowns as Tommy mentioned after they opened the second half were three of their own unanswered we need to get another little turnover here and make this game really fun Trevor Lawrence back in at quarterback etn at tailback they're playing these starters shotgun snap etn right side trying to get to the edge Cuts back into the arms of a couple of Gamecocks they driveing towards that Gamecock bench and I can see those white uniforms piling up sherro green a part of it as well that's a let's see where they spot that they spot it up to around the 47 South Carolina calls a timeout with 328 remaining just a one yard gain on the play got I tell you I'm not sure it's been a long time since I've seen so few meaning so many so many so few players give so much for the Carolina fan base these guys have played so hard tonight against some odds that are just unbelievable because everybody knows what the world thinks of Clemson's defense and offense and all that mess but um well they laid it on the line tonight they played like game unbeliev see no quit in them they've literally taken themselves some of them off the field and back on again yep healed it back up they've done everything they can to play played everybody on the roster for goodness sakes and if you name Clemson's defense which is one of the best in the country you tell you they going to lose the top two def defensive ends the the linebacker the number one cornerback off team because of injuries they wouldn't be nearly as what they are now there's Trevor LS after that one yard gain etn in the backfield they'll run Sprint draw to him left side he's into the pile and knocked down about the 49 yd line Ricky Sandage a part of that along with sherro green so Sandage coming on late here and making a bunch of them just a two- yard gain and will mus Cham claps his hands and comes over and calls timeout again with 324 cuz it's going to be third down and six up coming Tommy here's the other thing we cannot forget to say this tonight you have done it before and you've been purposeful about it but we both have got to thank Eric walford's done an unbelievable job this offensive line tonight we've not run the football we've not blasted it down the field by any means but they have protected Jake Bentley literally had two coverage sacks on the night other than that he's been obviously throwing it freely great job by the offensive line tonight I'll tell you he calls him must champ that is the best offensive line coach in America and he would know that better than I but I'll tell you he's a great guy good friend got a fabulous wife Melinda but I'll tell you one thing got into some great kids but but he's a heck of a football coach unbelievable L coach atn's back in there on third down and six Trevor Lawrence pump fak want to go back shoulder throw down the sideline leaping catch did he get in bounds he says they did that's T Higgins every time they Beed one they went to him against muuk K kuamu and that's a 27 yd gain and a tiger first down for just oneon-one coverage with a freshman and T Higgins took the throw perfectly from Trevor Lawrence tigers with 309 to go in no hurry for the moment in the ball game they lead it 4935 and by the way we're not saying this either we are not happy about losing the ball game there's no moral victories against anybody anymore we're big time uh football program and we want to win these games but it it's the the personality and the Heart tonight that's made the difference Lawrence wants to go for one more fade route left side point of the end zone incomplete intended for T Higgins again they wanted a quick score Carolina covered up on the plate mukuamu just a few steps outside of T higgins's range you know I think the point though Todd well made by you is that you come in here against the number two team in the country tomson's good but they're you're 25 Point Underdog by The Bookies and all which is probably reasonable and then all of a sudden you lose all these players during even more players during the week one during the game here and you still hang in and play pretty tough Lawrence back to work now second down and 10 running the football left side into the pile but pushing forward there Travis etm a foury gain on the play and etn up to 26 carries tonight I bet they didn't come into the game thinking he'd have that load on him and that's about 140 yards for him on the ground in that one touchdown he had the longest runs 20 yards for etn tonight good hit by Ernest Jones for Carolina clock at 216 and running Tigers taking their time in the Huddle the rare position for them you know they want the end zone one more time and third down and five at the Carolina 18 yd line Lawrence out of the gun inside dive play not much happening inside zone for etn again and he's shy of the 15 yd line just a two-yard game and that'll bring up fourth down and about three yards to go Tigers with that lead apparently not certainly not going to give up on getting the first down but going to let that clock run down been totally impressed with Trevor Lawrence tonight the Clemson quarterback firing at all sers 26 of 35 384 in the touchdown all right fourth down and three Lawrence going to roll right throwing the flats got his man under R throw he's caught the 10 they finally drag it down around the seven yd line with 106 to go in the ball game and that's a nyard gain on the play there's their guy Tommy they won't be able to go to him next year but man he has been clutch when they needed it he really has you got to give him credit I believe he's a guy that caught the winning pass championship game for the national championship and he's just continuing to excel from there he's got a chance to be in the pros slot receiver you know for the Patriots people like that to run that offense yeah Clemson can take a knee right now Tommy but they're not willing to do so Lawrence in the backfield running the football up the middle and right at the goal line and touchdown tigers etn into the lineup so Clemson with the 4935 Lee chooses not to take the knee and going The End Zone that's a prerogative I guess with 39 seconds remaining I want sit well with some people no it will not particular after last time we up here when they did that little po thing but you life short you remember stuff football coaches remember till they're 101 years old that's right all right here attemp the extra points we need to hold it low line drive but it's good so the Tiger get 56 on the Gamecocks but the game CS get 35 on the Tigers take the words right out of myou 545 yard total offense so somebody's going to go to the film room pretty quick that's one thing we did tonight didn't do much else and again we are not thrilled to be leaving under these circumstances but believe me we are happy the Gamecocks have come in here with a lot of heart and [Applause] tonight and give the Tigers credit Tommy they're going to make it five in a row to match the series that Carolina ran went and the street that they had under Steve sper which was magical at that time 2009 10 11 12 and 13 game sh 7 and six 9 and 5 11 and2 11 and2 11 and2 Clemson didn't have bad ball clubs either oh heck no they were in the top 15 if not better each of those times one time they were ahead of us they were like number six I think and we were like number 10 we beat him Potter to kick off see it and Tak it at the 10 yd line and up the near hash excuse me farash across the 20 yd line let's don't let this thing get ugly with 30 seconds to go and the Tigers will go undefeated on the season give them credit and they'll head to the championship game next week who do they play guys Pittsburgh Pittsburgh got beat by bamia today yeah they've had a couple losses but they're good rushing team they've had more than a couple has yeah I think they've like they may be they may be eight and four maybe seven and five something like that but they won the games they had to win oh yeah by the way it's Alabama and Georgia in our championship game out of the back field is Bentley all alone looks for a Crossing routes got one Far Side line caught the 45 breaking away at the 50 that's number one Deo Deo still churning and burning Deo breaks away go get him Deo at the 4530 run over somebody Deo to the 29 yd line I've had enough of you and with 15 seconds to go the score again Carolina's got it first and 10 at the 28 yd line shotgun snap Bentley looking right side thrown underneath Rico D steps oh get out of bounds can't get bounds in the 19 yd line with two seconds remaining and that'll do it the Tigers will win it one second there it goes clock will one they set the football no time we do not call any and Jake Bentley pulls his helmet off at mfield and Rico D takes a knee after a long hard fought battle and the tradition here in Clemson they let the folks on the field and hopefully as always nothing goes wrong we got a bunch of Gamecocks right in the middle of the field D tried to get out of bounds couldn't make it but um what a run by Debo Samuel up daughter had 210 yards receiving tonight Debo Samuel what a night fighting to the end as well there too yeah how many senior players who've got a chance to go to the next level give that kind of effort with 15 seconds to go 35 don't like losing don't like losing to Clemson but proud of my guys my go yeah and Jake Bentley by the way Tommy has just gotten the most passing yards in the history of South Carolina in a single game he threw for 510 yards he beat Steve tany Hills record of 473 you can take that it's a loss but that's something to build on to the future because man we protected him well we threw it well we called some great plays particularly in open field I don't know the difference Tommy would have been down in the goal line but it would have been interesting had we gotten one or both of those um got one first and goals inside the 5 y l tou you know field goal on another one had 13 points there other thing Todd is he got five touchdown passes I don't know if who else but I know I threw five against Virginia 1969 so that's a i congrat at him on certainly tying that record there may be some others out there have done it as well I got the book here but what a night he had I'm proud of it yeah proud of it boy I tell you heck of a night on a cool night Gamecocks with a depleted football team fought their heart out against the nation's number two team they had won 15 straight here at Memorial Stadium and they've now won their 16th and they're won the fifth in the series but hard fought by Carolina nobody embarrassed to walk away in the garnet in Black tonight the final score Clemson 56 Carolina 35 can tell you why this place is quiet they're not quiet because they're going to lose the game they I think they're very comfortable there they're quiet because they played two SEC teams pretty good teams not not great teams at all A&M was not ranked I don't think when they played them and clearly Carolina was not ranked and beat up like we can beat and then all of a sudden we just scoring up and down the field on so they're worried about the not the game Pittsburgh they're worried about the next game the bowl game that because as I said earlier we have shown the world tonight how you can score points on Clemson let me tell you they had their first team in right there that's not the second or third team in so if I were Clemson fans and Coach I would be concerned too because Carolina is not an awesome team but we're good enough to be very effective y we2 wey we to D hey we we to we to D we to we to D we to let's be legendary let going to be great
