** This will mark the final game of the decade for Gamecock Football, in what is easily the most successful decade in school history. The Gamecocks have posted a 78-50 record from 2010-19, a .609 winning percentage, their first decade over the .600 mark.

** This is the 117th meeting between these two Palmetto State schools in a series that dates back to 1896. The teams have met every year since 1909, making the Carolina-Clemson series the second-longest running consecutively played series in college football at 111-straight meetings, behind only Minnesota – Wisconsin.

The Tigers hold a 70-42-4 lead in the all-time series, including a 51-32-3 advantage in Columbia and a 19-10-1 mark in Clemson. However, the teams have split the last 10 meetings evenly.

** The winner of this week's game will earn that school another point in the Certified SC Grown Palmetto Series between South Carolina and Clemson. Additionally, another point will be awarded today to the winner of the month-long Food Drive. The Gamecocks are a perfect 4-0 since the Palmetto Series begin in 2015-16. Carolina currently leads this year's competition by a 4-3 margin.

** Gamecock running back Tavien Feaster spent three seasons at Clemson before enjoying his senior season in Columbia. Gamecock tight end Nick Muse is the younger brother of Clemson safety Tanner Muse.

NOTES: Jaycee Horn moved into the top punt return role against A&M and Xavier Legette has taken over as the Gamecocks' top kickoff returner.

Collyn Taylor: Got no clue. I expect Clemson to come out mad and wanting to put on a show for the playoff committee. I also expect much of the same from the Gamecock offense. Clemson 52, South Carolina 10.

Will Helms: Too much depth. Too much speed. Too much talent. I think South Carolina’s defense is good enough to give the Tigers problems early on but the Gamecocks are overmatched in this one. Clemson 41, South Carolina 13

Wes Mitchell: It's hard, at this point, based on everything we've seen from both teams this season, to pick anything other than a big Clemson win. South Carolina's defense has played well enough to prove that it's capable of holding Clemson in check for at least a portion of the game, but the Gamecocks' offense has consistently put them back on the field, and in bad field position, for each of the last two games.

The first key for South Carolina will be to just survive the early onslaught from a Clemson team that has outscored opponents 142-10 in the first quarter this season, the largest margin in FBS. The beautiful thing about college football is that there's always the chance of witnessing a monumental upset in any given game, but there's nothing on paper to suggest that will happen in this game. Ultimately, even if the Gamecocks are able to hang around early on, there's not enough fire power offensively for them to go win the game. Clemson 38, South Carolina 10.

Michael Beckham: This is very simple. South Carolina has gotten progressively worse down the stretch, while Clemson has gotten progressively better. I see no reason for that to change today. Clemson 44, South Carolina 6
