Toughest non-conference game for each SEC football team
By Matt Green
South Carolina: Nov. 25 vs. Clemson
The annual battle for the Palmetto State is one of the most bitter rivalries in college football. After winning five straight in the rivalry from 2009 to 2013, South Carolina’s longest winning streak in the history of the rivalry, the Gamecocks have now lost three straight to the Tigers. And the gap appears to getting wider after Clemson’s 56-7 win last season.
But the one constant over the Tigers’ three-game winning streak, other than Dabo Swinney, was Deshaun Watson, and in 2017, he’ll be suiting up for the Houston Texans.
Clemson leads the all-time series 64-40-4.
