30 Years Ago Today. Please check out TigerHawk76® post on Joe Cobb's Orange Pants story re this game. The link is at the bottom of this post Clemson 45, South Carolina 0
COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Terry Allen and Tony Kennedy scored two touchdowns each Saturday night to help No. 13 Clemson whip cross-state rival South Carolina 45-0.
The Tigers, expected to receive a bid to meet West Virginia in the Gator Bowl, improved to 8-2. The Gamecocks close their season at 5-4-1 after their worst loss to Clemson since a 51-0 drubbing in 1900.
South Carolina, without injured quarterback Todd Ellis, could do little against the stronger, more experienced Clemson defense. The Tigers held USC to 155 yards total offense, intercepted three passes and registered two sacks for 20 yards in losses. South Carolina quarterbacks Dickie DeMasi and Pat Turner completed 7 of 15 passes for 36 yards.
Clemson put the game away in little more than six minutes. Allen, who rushed for 97 yards on 14 carries before leaving the game with a knee injury late in the first half, scored on a 12-yard run with 8:49 left in the first quarter. Twenty seconds later, Jerome Henderson intercepted a DeMasi pass to set up a 54-yard drive capped by Allen's 1-yard score with 4:53 to go in the period.
Chris Gardocki's 28-yard field goal with 9:17 left in the second quarter gave Clemson a 17-0 lead.
The Tigers drove 87 yards on their next possession with Chris Morocco tossing a 12-yard touchdown pass to Rodney Fletcher to push the margin to 24-0 at halftime.
Kennedy's 30-yard touchdown run with 4:26 to go in the third quarter made it 31-0. Clemson completed the rout with Junior Hall dashing 22 yards for a touchdown and Kennedy scoring from 1-yard out after Clemson's Kenzil Jackson blocked a punt.
Joe Henderson carried 19 times for 88 yards and Kennedy gained 67 yards on 9 carries for Clemson.
South Carolina's best scoring chances were a missed 47-yard field goal attempt by Collin Mackie in the second quarter and deseration pass by DeMasi intercepted in the end zone by Eric Jeter on the last play of the game.

I remember watching this. The Tigers simply flattened the coots that evening. Total physical domination. A Danny Ford team at its best.

They should have won our second National Championship that year. Probably his most talented team.

Watched this one in TV. At the start of

the fourth quarter, the announcer says, "If Clemson wants to run out the clock and not score anymore, then they better quit running the fullback dive play, cause they haven't stopped that all night!" Good times.
