We did visit Jacos after that one too. we tailgate on the little hill right across the street from there.In the student section for the game and in Jaco's until 5 AM Sunday morning. Think we watched the sun come up from the Bluff Rd Waffle House...
"Im sure Swearinger's hit on Ellington will get a lot of votes."
On that play, initially I was mad because of the 15 yard penalty, which was well-deserved. The game still hung in the balance at the time, and handing away a first down was tough. However, the true impact of the Swearinger hit was that Ellington was a complete non-factor the rest of the way. He may have been concussed, and in today's world they would have put him through the protocol, but he sure played like a shell of himself from then on.
Not to mention the mental impact... That hit was a figurative castration of their entire team
Wish we had that kind of fire/swagger now. Guess winning/being competitive helps.
EVERYONE knew it was over at that point. Little Man and I both jumped up on that one. We high fived each other in the living room.

Another play that wasn’t fancy but huge was Corey Jenkins 1 yard TD run to beat Clemson in 2001. We were on a 4 game losing streak to them and hadn’t beaten them at Williams-Brice in 14 years (‘87). Most of us forgot what it had felt like to beat Clemson at home. Plus it felt nice to get the win after the heartbreak from “The Pushoff” the year before.
Not in '75. No punts or FGs. Last TD called back for offensive PI. 56-7.I remember Carolina kicked a very short field goal at the end of the game. Klemptons head coach Red Parker accused Jim Carlen of trying to embarrass them. Carlen said if I was trying to embarrass you I would have punted.
Don't remember a throwback but it was 7-3 in 1968. Tyler Hellams punt return for a TD. Suggs was a Jr.Is anyone old enough to remember Cocks running an option play and throwing it back to Tommy Suggs for a critical first down in a Gamecock victory at the cow pasture. I don't remember the year but I think Suggs was a senior.
I was sitting on the hill. Sammy Cain , a friend of mine was the punter for Klempton.Don't remember a throwback but it was 7-3 in 1968. Tyler Hellams punt return for a TD. Suggs was a Jr.
A more apt description I have never read. I was not happy with the 15 yard penalty at the time, but looking back, it was totally worth it.Not to mention the mental impact... That hit was a figurative castration of their entire team.
He didnt. end of story. lol
If you're talking about 1975 it was 56-20 but the rest of my post was right. We scored a TD on every posession but the last one didn't count. It was 4th down and they called opi in the end zone and Clemson got the ball.I don't remember the year but Scott Wingos father played db for them the Klempton announcers called him wee willie Wingo . I grew up with Bill Wingo Scotts father. Red Parker was the coach for Klempton. We might have missed the fg but I distinctly remember the quote from parker and Carlen
#2) he pushed off big time. Any time a receiver has his hands on a defender trying to get separation, and fully extends his arm, it’s offensive PI every time ... except that one! You guys used to complain that Alshon Jeffery pushed off all the time yet still insist that Gardner did not push off.
So in regards to #2, was Alston committing offensive PI?
Yes, I felt the same way. Stupid stupid stupid! And he got a penalty on a later play after scoring a touchdown as well for unsportsmanlike or celebration... But Swearinger turned the game. Clem's whole team played scared after that hit and flex. He showed they wanted to avoid him because he was a beast that would not be contained, and they played scared of him."Im sure Swearinger's hit on Ellington will get a lot of votes."

Nope...Bowden took him out...he was unstoppable and Tommy Bowden took him out....
Took him freaking out...
Spencer Clark’s 77 yard touchdown scamper that put Carolina ahead of Clemson late in the fourth quarter of the 1977 game. However, Steve Fuller led Clemson down the field much to the dismay of the Carolina faithful. Clemson WR Jerry Butler made one of the best catches that I have ever seen.My first game in clemson.. a rude introduction
Whats some of you guy's favorite plays from the history of our football series?
Im sure Swearinger's hit on Ellington will get a lot of votes.
From my side, I'm partial to Mike Williams giving Jamarcus King a ride into the end zone.
Lets get some banter going.
Earlier in the 1987 game Clemson was up 7-6 And neither team could do much with the opposing defenses. The Ellis to Ryan Beatha all the way down to the 7. Harold Greene did the rest. Then Rodney chant began. That was a very cold and late game. As a 14 year old I was in love with all of it. Williams Brice was like a Concrete Roman Colosseum then. Mediocre team and the most hostile I've ever seen the stadium. Gamecock Beauty. Everyone around me was bombed. Awesome
Freshman Year- Holloman pick > Alshon TD to ice it
Sophomore Year- Thompson scramble > Ellington TD to ice it
Junior Year- Pharoh jump-pass to Wilds to ice it
Hard to really pick between those. Each had a different sub-plot that made it pretty sweet.
The one and only series that Stephon Gilmore took at QB for the first of our five bomb streak. CJ Spiller ran back the opening kickoff and then Garcia stalled on out first drive. Gilmore should have gotten more snaps here.
Larry Munson's call was classic.Mutts say "it ain't no rivalry" but Georgia schools don't teach the meaning of double negatives.
Double call Bob Fulton and Larry Munson
