![]() They’ve got 46 in 2023, sixth-most in the SEC. And it’s probably going to be difficult for the Gamecocks to move the ball without hitting on some passes for 20 or more yards. If Spencer Rattler is running for his life and Mario Anderson is getting stopped for gains of next to nothing (or worse), then it could be a long night.īig passing plays have helped South Carolina’s offense throughout the season. Clemson may not have anybody who’s quite as good as Deone Walker, the Kentucky defensive lineman who wrecked shop last week at Williams-Brice, but the Tigers are better across the board and much deeper in the front seven. South Carolina’s had issues blocking most folks this season. The same could be said during the Gamecocks run for the thumb. His best two options are good players, don’t get me wrong, but they’re not quite at the level of playmaker the Tigers had when they were on their streak between 2014-21. If Clemson has to try and win this game with Klubnik, South Carolina’s chances of making it two in a row will increase pretty significantly. Cade Klubnik’s best options are tight end Jake Briningstool and Tyler Brown, a freshman from Greenville, not to be confused with the guy from one county over. And Antonio Williams has been banged up, so even if he’s on the field, he may not be all that healthy. On Saturday, the Gamecocks secondary won’t have to account for Beaux Collins, who’s out with an injury. In 2022, they did, though if Shipley just got the ball a few more times, the result probably would’ve been different. In 2021, the Tigers didn’t need a quarterback. In two games against South Carolina, Shipley has 34 carries for 260 yards and two touchdowns. The formula for South Carolina’s defense to do its part on Saturday night seems simple enough: Try to limit Shipley and force his quarterback and their receivers to beat you. Will Shipley has 56 carries for 246 yards and one touchdown in Clemson’s four losses this season.

South Carolina 35 - Clemson 27 Not to mention based off last week, my boy from Irmo got his mojo back along with the defense. Klubnik is gonna get sped up with the atmosphere and have a few costly plays that lead to our victory. ![]() Spencer Rattler is going to be dominant, gyrating the pigskin all night in potentially his last home game. ![]() I know 80,000 Gamecocks will be ready to run through a brick wall and that will be a huge factor into our win against the Taters. This team hasn’t played in a venue like Willy-B. South Carolina outfielder Evan Stone is joining us to give his commentary on how he sees things playing out this weekend, both at Williams-Brice Stadium and around the country.Įvan Stone: With bowl eligibility on the line and the Taters coming to town at 7:30, Willy-B will be a mad house!

Tyler has spurred Clemson to a three-game winning streak as well with all three of those victories coming at Memorial Stadium. South Carolina, under second-year head coach Shane Beamer, needs a perfect November and the team is three-quarters of the way to achieving that goal after beating Jacksonville State, Vanderbilt and Kentucky a week ago. Clemson is the foe, and a win by the Tigers (7-4) likely means the end of the year for the Gamecocks (5-6) without a bowl game. There’s eight months of waiting for three months of fun in the regular season and it might all be over for South Carolina in less than 24 hours if it can’t win its last game. ![]()
