Live Blog: Clemson Faces Rival’s South Carolina on the Road

The Palmetto Bowl has arrived once again, and Clemson and South Carolina are set to close out the 2025 regular season in a rivalry that rarely disappoints. The Tigers enter the matchup at 6–5 after securing their 21st straight bowl appearance with a convincing win over Furman, a game where Cade Klubnik threw two touchdowns to Antonio Williams and the offense piled up more than 450 total yards. South Carolina, sitting at 4–7, is coming off its strongest performance of the year after a 51–7 rout of Coastal Carolina behind LaNorris Sellers’ four-touchdown effort.

Today marks the 122nd meeting between the two programs, with Clemson holding the overall edge but the Gamecocks winning two of the last three. The Tigers, however, have dominated recent trips to Williams-Brice Stadium, taking five straight in Columbia, including a 16–7 victory back in 2023.

With both teams looking to close a turbulent season on a high note, all eyes turn to Columbia for one final regular-season stage. We’ll have updates, big plays, momentum shifts, and everything you need as the action unfolds live from Williams-Brice Stadium.

Clemson as the underdog

The Tigers are underdogs today. Something we’re not very used to in this rivalry of late.

Going out in a high note

To be honest, this might be more important than winning a final bowl game for these seniors. It definitely is. They need to show up today.
