  • That's a wrap

    It’s a wrap — for the blog at least. The game is still going on (under 5 to play). But a bunch of Clemson fans are heading to the exit, and it’s time for me to head down for the postgame interviews.

    Again, what a difference a year makes. This effort by USC today (and their effort down the stretch this year) was hardly similar to the debacle of last season. This is a different team on its way to a better season’s end than last year. The defense brought the energy today and the offense was very capable.

    The Gamecocks lead 27-10 and are in a position to take this year’s Palmetto Bowl and keep itself in content for a Chick-fil-A bowl bid. No matter the destination it’s safe to say fans will be much more willing to make the trip with the team this year.

    Keep an eye on GoGamecocks.com tonight as we will update things all night.

    Thanks, and take care.

  • USC drains some clock, scores

    The Gamecocks just took a 27-10 lead with 5:27 to go in the game with a 38-yard field goal by Spencer Lanning.

    USC took 6:01 off the clock on the drive with some big runs by Kenny Miles and Brian Maddox.

  • Clemson back on the board

    Clemson just had one of its best drives of the game, aided by a helmet-to-helmet penalty on Cliff Matthews on a big hit on Clemson QB Kyle Parker. No one in the press box seemed to dispute the call.

    Parker also hit TE Michael Palmer for a big gain, but USC held the Tigers to a field goal, a 45-yarder by Richard Jackson.

    Will be interesting to see if USC tries to (and can) milk some clock leading 24-10 with 11-plus minutes in the game.

  • The stats so far

    dmclemore 3:41 pm on November 28, 2009 | 1 Permalink | Reply

    After three quarters, Stephen Garcia is 9-for-20 for 125 yards and two touchdowns … one to Tori Gurley and the other to Weslye Saunders.

    Clemson’s Kyle Parker is 11-for-22 with no TDs. He and Garcia each have one interception.

    Kenny Miles leads USC in rushing with 80 yards on 13 carries. C.J. Spiller has 22 yards on nine carries for Clemson.

    Clemson’s lone score still from the game’s opening kickoff.

  • Three quarters in the books

    With one quarter left, the Gamecocks lead it 24-7 and have the ball at midfield.

    Another great quarter for USC and the defense.

    To end the quarter, Stephen Garcia hit Tori Gurley again for a big gain, this time 36 yards to the 50.

    Fifteen minutes until it’s official.

  • What a difference a year makes

    My video colleague Andrew Haworth just commented how different the game is this year vs. last. He said it all.

    Last year he and I were freezing and wet on the sidelines of Clemson’s Memorial Stadium… miserable to say the least. Don’t have to remind you how USC played that day.

    It’s a complete 180 this year. The weather is much improved, as is USC’s play. What a recovery for the Gamecocks after that opening kickoff.

    Still plenty of time to play … seven minutes to go in the third quarter. Still time to try and come up with something as witty as Seth.

  • Gamecocks open their lead

    The Gamecocks are now up 24-7 after a 55-yard drive capped by a Stephen Garcia to Tori Gurley TD.

    Is Clemson down for the count? Maybe. One thing is for certain — Seth Emerson’s laptop is not cooperating today, but we’ll still bring you the pertinent details as long as we can.
