What Do You Fear: The Thumb or The Paw?

Every Thanksgiving weekend, South Carolinians get ready for the biggest game of the year, USC vs. Clemson. Many wonder why there is a rivalry between these two teams.
One reason is the historical tension in regards to their respective charters, athletic programs, majors offered by each university, and other campus politics. Another reason is that both colleges are guilty of playing pranks on one another over the years. They have been rival teams since the 1880’s and the rivalry has proven to produce one of the most anticipated college football match-ups of the season.
Connor Shaw is the quarterback for USC; he’s had 32 career touchdown passes and ranks 9th in program history for pass completions. He has been named SEC player of the week 4 times during his career. Tahj Boyd is the quarterback for Clemson; he’s thrown for 73 touchdowns with only 28 interceptions in 2,095 snaps over 34 games throughout his career.
The Gamecocks have beaten the Tigers the past 4 years. Will Clemson fans fear the thumb this year or will Gamecock fans experience a Tiger comeback? The game will be held at Williams-Brice Stadium on November 30 at 7pm and will be broadcast on ESPN 2. Join in on the rivalry!
