Saturday marked the sixth-straight win for South Carolina and the second win in Clemson for coach Shane Beamer, who took his first rivalry win in 2022. While there is no guarantee, the Gamecocks increased their College Football Playoff chances with the win.

A messy third quarter for both teams saw back-to-back turnovers, with the Gamecocks fumbling the ball first and the Tigers going right afterward. At the start of the fourth quarter, Clemson safety Khalil Barnes picked off Sellers to give the Tigers back the ball, but the team was forced to punt after going three-and-out.

Coach Shane Beamer has no doubt about where his surging Gamecocks belong in the postseason — chasing a national championship.
