Why can't the Coots just beat the crap out of us?

It's just funny to me that they have to have a dozen dif things go right for them to barely squeak out a win...even in BBall. But if we had the same stuff go our way we'd win by 20+ in both sports. Like ####...if they're so good and we're so bad, then show it! Beat the hell out of us like we do them countless times. Always gotta have favorable calls/reviews, weird/dumb plays by us, missed open passes, 800 miss tackles....have to rely on us to go Simple Jack numerous times just to barely win.

game in DV when Spurrier had clowney, alshon, lattimore, swearinger.. they still didn't really beat us down but they could have. I think Spurrier was more interested in getting out healthy and didn't really care to drive that nail. But that team could've beat us by 40 if they wanted to. Tajh was gunshy and that team was just tough to beat.

Yeah that's what I mean, over a decade ago. Most games they do win they have to rely on us to make stupid mistakes or crazy calls go their way. It's hardly ever them just dominating or looking better than us.

The Coots have won 2 times in the past ten years and both were gifts given to them by poor in-game coaching mistakes by the Clemson staff.

I feel ya… but they won so they got bragging rights for a year.
You are correct they don’t win often so they do not know how to handle it.
Merry Christmas

During the basketball game this week, they of course covered the football game. They reached back to the first game in 1896 "South Carolina won."
I pointed out to my family assembled watching the game that that was the one and only time SCAR has EVER led the series, since Clemson won the 2nd game to tie the series. Then won the 3rd, 4th, and 5th games to take a lead that they have never relinquished. By the time we had played25 games, Clemson led the series 16-8-1. And this was even with SCAR having the home field advantage to every single one of the first 57 games.
Yeah, they won this last one, but Clemson leads 73–44–4.

where they had a clearly better better record than us and beat us convincingly.
1975: SC won 56-20 and were 7-5 while we were 2-9
1994: SC won 33-7 and were 7-5 while we were 5-6. (not THAT big a record difference)
2010: SC won 29-7 and were 9-5 while were were 6-7

2011 and 12 as well. They were clearly better going into those games. Now 2013 I’d argue we could have beat them. Tajh was just scared of them.
