Well, I’d say that was a much-needed play for South Carolina.

Clemson, driving downfield, had Jamie Harper fumble the ball after a good hit by Akeem Auguste.

Eric Norwood picked it up in the open field and started running. He was leg-tackled at the USC 40 by Thomas Austin, or else Norwood had a lot of open field ahead of him.

That’s a huge play for South Carolina,  obviously. Clemson had first down at the USC 24.

And it was the Gamecocks’ first caused turnover in five games.

This after it all momentum and breaks were favoring Clemson. The drive had been helped by a late hit penalty against Cliff Matthews, coming after a first down loss of four on first down.

But now the Gamecock offense gets the ball back, down 7-0, with a chance to even this game up. And at a minimum, the fans are back in the game.
