Staff Predictions: South Carolina vs. Clemson

Rivalry weekend is all the time one of the vital enjoyable in school soccer. It permits groups to rewrite the script on a continuing narrative, one thing South Carolina may do that weekend.

The garnet and black have not overwhelmed Clemson in 9 years, and the Tigers’ win streak is as much as 9. Our employees is break up on the choice, and this one could find yourself coming right down to the wire.

Evan Crowell: Clemson 31, South Carolina 20

Whereas I would not be stunned if South Carolina pulled away with this one, Clemson has loads of defensive firepower that could be an excessive amount of for the Gamecocks. If offensive coordinator Marcus Satterfield can stack wonderful weeks on prime of one another, they could outpace Clemson’s offense, however I see the Tigers’ defensive entrance being the distinction.

Andrew Lyon: South Carolina 34, Clemson 31

If I have been requested to provide a prediction per week in the past, I’d’ve given the Tigers the sting, however final weekend’s victory has precipitated me a change of coronary heart concerning my thought course of on this matchup.

The Gamecocks can benefit from the Tigers’ woes within the secondary with their depth on the ability positions. Whereas Will Shipley is a power to be reckoned with out of the backfield, I am not so certain Clemson will be capable of pound the rock in the event that they need to proceed their profitable streak this time round.

Throw within the confidence the Tennessee beatdown has ignited on this locker room with the magic that Pete Lembo and this particular groups unit have showcased persistently this season, and I believe South Carolina will play a adequate all-around sport to beat their arch-rivals in an in depth one.
