The Tigers fell apart in a key game versus Boston College last time out, so they'll be looking to find their motivation this weekend when they take on South Carolina.
Clemson gave up 17 points in the fourth quarter to lose 20-17 to the Eagles in their last game, which knocked them out of top spot in the Atlantic Division of the ACC. Tigers QB Cullen Harper went 26-of-40 for 226 yards passing in that game, with no touchdowns and one interception. Harper and James Davis each rushed for major scores in the loss. Clemson is now 8-3 straight-up and 6-4 against-the-spread on the season. South Carolina, on the other hand, is just 6-5 straight-up and 4-5-1 against-the-spread in 2007. The Gamecocks are coming off a defensive disaster against the Florida Gators, allowing double-digit points in every quarter in a 51-31 defeat. Blake Mitchell completed 26-of-42 pass attempts for 316 yards for South Carolina in that loss, with one touchdown strike and one interception.
Cory Boyd ran for 44 yards and three scores on the day. Clemson has been pegged as the 3-point favorite to beat South Carolina on Saturday, with the game's OVER/UNDER at 53.5 points.
