Game time, TV channel set for Clemson-South Carolina rivalry game
South Carolina and Clemson football will face off at noon on ESPN on Nov. 30, the SEC announced Monday.
Both the Gamecocks and Tigers have an open date this coming Saturday, giving them two weeks to prepare for the annual in-state rivalry game.
This is the first time since 2015 the game will be played at noon. Clemson won that one 37-32 on the way to its first College Football Playoff title game appearance. The 2014 and 2009 games were also at noon, with most of the others as night games.
But while Clemson still has the ACC championship game and a potential College Football Playoff berth to come, South Carolina will be playing its final game of the year against the Tigers, missing a bowl game for the first time under coach Will Muschamp.
The all-time series is in favor of Clemson, who has a 70-42-4 record against the Gamecocks. Over the past decade, the two programs have traded five-game win streaks in the rivalry, with USC dominating 2009 through 2013 under Steve Spurrier and Clemson taking control from 2014 through 2018 under Dabo Swinney.
USC is coming off a 30-6 loss to Texas A&M to finish SEC play the past Saturday, while Clemson finished off its home slate by thrashing Wake Forest, 52-3.
