South Carolina took the three-point lead after Sellers scrambled for a 20-yard touchdown run with a little over a minute left. With one final drive, Clemson moved the ball down the field with a chance to score, but quarterback Cade Klubnik threw an interception that sealed the game for the Gamecocks.

But Clemson went three-and-out after a high Klubnik pass and had to punt it back. After a promising drive fizzled, South Carolina’s Alex Herrera hit a 42-yard field goal to cut the score to 14-10 Clemson with 6:42 remaining in the game.

LaNorris Sellers frustrated Clemson's defense with 166 rushing yards. Cade Klubnik nearly answered but the Tigers' passer couldn't complete a winning drive.
