1981 South Carolina vs. Clemson - 1st Half

rosamma on crutches yeah in a trench coat on crutches not a new uniform of course but it's a good tribute to his contribution to this team since coming here from junior college he has keyed their defense and a big big blow when he went down in the Pacific game but it's a tough ball for Jim Collins squad up in town year as we mentioned they still have a shot at a ball but they would have to pull off a big upset right here the Tigers number two in the nation the Gamecocks sixth and four on the season we expect a great football game here today breaks may decide it will just have to wait and see but we're just about ready to get this one underway beautiful blue skies a good win Jim I would estimate that win 15 20 maybe 25 gusting up to 25 today so the wind could play a big factor in this football game I don't think there's any question about that the Tigers have won the toss they have elected to receive and they will receive at the south end of the field as South Carolina takes that wind advantage here in the first quarter they'll defend to the north it's a squirming winds on Scott as you look at the flag some of them are bowing to the south some are bowing to the east it's obviously swirling around it gets inside this ball here for those of you have never been to williams-brice stadium it is completely encircled and the wind down on the playing field is swirling quite a bit as we mentioned a level play going on in midfield between kaki and the Clemson Tiger the mascots of the two teams they retreat to their respective end zones the Tigers are on the field set to receive the Gamecocks set to kick it off and we're about to get underway with a 79th meeting in this long long series Clemson is 145 Carolina 30 there have been three ties and we expect a good afternoon of great football we couldn't ask for better weather for it the fans down below us all bundled up every type of thing cold-weather gear you could find they've got it on but those who are in the sunshine and surrounded by other fans should enjoy it should be very comfortable for him does not want to say a special hello to all of the loyal Tiger fans watching on closed-circuit up and Little John tanners kick-off high into the air Barry Tuttle waiting under it at the one out over the five up the middle rule 10 the 15 gets to the 20 and down he goes at the 21 yard so that's where the Tigers will put it in play first intend as limbo Rambo was downfield to make the tackle on Perry Tuttle all right I have a lot of messages here this afternoon Scotty we'll get to them one at a time as we go along want to say a special hello to Kirk McCloud of Sumter big Tiger fan who is a patient of the Duke Medical Center hope that he gets well and gets back to see the Tigers in action soon Ballmer Jordan brings them out there in the eye Tigers with the football pitch back coming to the left side is Austin that's up to the line of scrimmage and out to the 25 and down he goes at the 25 yard line Austin was hit there by Troy Thomas of the Gamecocks so cliff gets four yards on the first down carry barely Lincoln down on six a fairly good pursuit by the Gamecocks Austin made about three yards on his own as he hit the sideline off they come once again Gilyard will be split from the left side Stockstill goes to the right Palmer has them down in the I formation once again Jordan now with the long count at the line of scrimmage on second and six rides it off again to Austin he's hailed at the - when they chucked out the 20 ride and it was grippy hey good of Easley South Carolina going again for a manual weaver at the middle guard position who makes the tackle and now the Tigers are faced with a third down and six at their own 25-yard line Magwood going far to the right side coming left will be Perry Tunnel Palmer Jordan once more putting Clemson in the I formation Kevin Mack cliff Austin in motion now Tuttle from left to right Jordan takes out this time riding it off to Austin again nowhere to go is down and goals Anika's Ricky Hager once again who made his way through to hit with Austin and Gamecock fans really responding to the defensive prowess of their team here in the early stages of this football game as Dale Hatcher comes on now to do the punting for the Tigers Jim I think due to the emotional highs both teams are experiencing now we can expect the defense's denominator in the first half there's the snap back to Hatcher they almost get to him he gets to kick away Troy Thomas gathering an end of his own 45 is going to be knocked down as it comes out to the 48 yard line and over Apple a 31-yard was Andy headin to make the tackle so mark the football at the 49 yard line of South Carolina the Gamecocks with their first possession Gordon Beckham at quarterback Dominic Pleasant game will be the full-back Johnny Wright at tailback wide to the left side they send Horace Smith splitting out to the near side as IRA Hilary Beckham now has a wing to the left side that's poorly in motion from left to right they ride it off to the tailback first man to and that is Johnny Wright he with crosses the 50 and gets into Tiger territory at about the 49 yard line before he is knocked down and it was Johnny rembert from his linebacker position there to make the tackle for the Tigers so a market at the 49 yard line of Clemson a pickup of two it will be second down and eight for South Carolina Johnny rembert and Jeff Davis are the linebackers for the Tigers wide to the left side now goes Horace Smith splitting off the right side IRA Hilary now poorly again will become a wing left you'll go in motion to the right side second down and eight now as Beckham up under center whoops but like William Perry may have made contact out there prior to the snap of the football let's see if he was drawn offside or did he initiate the charge I believe he did and Bill Smith now says cool down just a little bit let's don't hurt ourselves with foolish penalties as William ferry in anticipation on what was pretty obvious I think they'll Scott a check off by Gordon Beckham that time yeah absolutely the tiger linebackers if you'll notice they're playing a little deeper than normal that time Andy head and dropped off the Tigers winter for rush so that's going to make it second down and three now the ball was in at the 45 yard line of the Tigers 44 yard line where Gordon Beckham moves up under center again motion to the right side by quality here's Beckham on to keep he's into the 40-yard line and not down there that will be enough for a Gamecock first down sprinting out to his left bill Smith and Dan vanish made the tackle but not before Gordon Beckham gets the first down Gamecocks or this crowd is pumped up here this afternoon for they ever they started about an hour and a half before game time in fact just when the punters and place kickers came out to warm up a little bit they really got into it both sides yelling and screaming what an afternoon for football Hillary going to the left side coming out wide to the rightest Horace Smith there it an eye formation now backing off his quarry as a wing to the right he goes in motion to the left Gordon Beckham at quarterback long count again at the line of scrimmage this time keeping rolling to his right pitching back that's 20 right he's across the 35 and all the way down to the 32 yard line before he is finally pulled down and over defensively Terry Cunard had to come up with help from Bill Smith to make the tackle so the Gamecocks to the Drive that started back at their own 49-yard line moving into the tiger 33 second down three yards to go now for South Carolina Todd berry and Kemp hey good now check into that backfield for the Gamecocks offensively nothing really special they're just doing a great job at the line of scrimmage moving off the ball all right wide to the right comes for a Smith their level wing on the right side Quarry split backfield behind Gordon Beckham Berry and hey good in motion now Hilary there is Beckham rolling to his right looking to throw firing it is tuck and that is Cobb Barry bullabbai grabs it off down around the 20-yard line South Carolina with another first down it was Palace Hall who came across defensively but a first down Gamecocks is the football is spotted just outside the 20-yard line of the Tigers great piece to play action by Beckham he faked the handoff off the left side rolled right found its man wide open and a good play called good selection on that particular play wide to the left side they send Boris Smith Hillary will split off right in here's Beckham riding it off - hey good he's at the 10 and finally pull down at the a car on hip pain would found a gaping hole over the left side the right side of the Clemson defense and Anthony wolves finally hold him down but not before he was in at the 8 yard line where its first and goal Gamecocks good-looking drive they mixed their plays very well they passed one time when they knew the play was there but otherwise it's been on the ground and again that offensive line is doing the job lazon game and right check back in for South Carolina Smith comes wide to the right side that worked from an eye formation Gordon back on the quarterback now sends Hillary in motion from wing right pitch back this is Johnny Wright going to the left side he's gone to the 2 yard line finally pulled down at that point running out of the hands of tacklers finally hit down by Terry Canard there's a Gamecock team that has had problems all year moving the football but they're experiencing an easy easy afternoon at this moment Scott they started at their own 49 and they have driven to the 2 yard line of the Tigers worth second and goal they are moving the ball extremely well it's the play up front they're whipping Clemson's defensive line now I for mission set in behind quarterback Gordon Beckham power I know the strength to the left side Beckham now since he's power Iban in motion the ride is off to Johnny right straight ahead he goes gets down near the goal line but I believe a stocked up just shy and from here I'll have to wait a moment to see who's under that stacker looks like Geoff Bryant and Andy heavy were there defensively for the Tigers so it is about a yard shy of the goal line it is third down and goal South Carolina and the Clemson defense attempting to get settled down out here so now third and goal Gordon Beckham brings them out in the I formation takes out this time gives to right over the top touchdown [Applause] Shawny right bolts over the top into the endzone for the score South Carolina is on top in this game six to nothing in this place is madness right now as Gamecock fans have it vibrating mark Fleetwood will attempt the point after nine minutes five seconds remaining here in the first quarter of action and South Carolina has just driven 51 yards for the game's first score Norman to hold fleetwood the kick we await the snap now the spot leave which kick is up this kick is good so there was time out on the field the score South Carolina seven Clemson nothing [Applause] four minutes six seconds off the scoreboard clock on a 51-yard drive eight plays three first downs the score Johnny Reich one yard out diving into the end zone at the 905 mark and the Gamecocks lead this one with queeg woods be 87 nothing all right ready to kick off now will be John Tanner backed up deep fairy tunnel Kevin Mack will say hello to mr. Y a Green has been in the hospital hope he recovers shortly the Clemson fan deep deep kick Tuttle backed up six yards into the end zone touches it down it will come out to the 20-yard line and that's where the Tigers will take over that's only the fourth touchdown rushing against the Tigers this year but they better have a little defensive strategy so I should want to sideline so they got but that one's good boy so he knows that Clemson offense which was limited to only three yards in their first possession and all three times cliff Austin carried the ball alright Gilyard goes wide to the right side coming left will be Tuttle there in the I formation behind Homer Jordan the quarterback football at the tiger 20-yard line at seven nothing South Carolina on top this time owner rolling left looking to throw fires completes this one up the left side over the 25 up to the 30-yard line is Kevin Mack coming out of the backfield and Pat Moen and Mike dura were there defensively for South Carolina so Kevin Mack blaring out on the left side Homer with a roll to his left on the option throw first down at the 31 yard line want to say hello to mrs. Grace Jones of Gaffney Scott mrs. Jones's 88 years old travels all over following the Tigers and the New Orleans South Bend everywhere the Tigers go but she's recovering from surgery and listening to the game today and I hope enjoying it and we hopefully can get a score for her here from the Tigers there's tunneling motion left or right now as Jordan takes out this time pitch out on the corner with Boston tried to get outside nowhere to get lost garbage on this way as the Gamecocks worn to the football and to quit Boston and finally bring him down as hairy skipper led the charge of Gamecock players and they will lose back to about the 28 yard line so it's going to be second down and 13 now okay Carolina's defense has been reacting so quickly gem and with so much anticipation to anything that goes wide a little little misdirection may be in effect here we could see some changes in strategy Tuttle wide to the right side your yard comes left and Chuck McSwain is now in that backfield tunnel in motion from right to left a split backfield as Homer is warming to his left being chased looking to throw gonna be caught and knocked down back at the 25 yard line getting to him was Carrie Johnson the defensive end on the right side just as Homer was talking the arm in an effort to throw the football Johnson got to him dragging him down at the 26 yard line so the Tigers have lost five yards in their last two plays and it's now third and 15 that gives a -2 yards rushing on the afternoon shift Houston Dallas Chicago Clemson clubs they're all tuned in to this broadcast today Scott they tell me that the about 200 members of the cleansing Club up in Chicago listening in and of course who at Dallas group has been with us for much of this year Austin all sweep to the right cliff comes out over 230 to about the 33 and that is it as Ricky hey good catches him from behind and again the Tigers are going to have to punt the football as they are unable to move after the one first down so Dale Hatcher will come on Troy Thomas backs up for the Gamecocks to receive seven nothing South Carolina on top was 658 remaining in the first quarter snapped back the Hatcher they come hard at him again but he really hits will find one this time Thomas is backed up wraps it off at he's 18 sweeps to the right and his knock down as he gets optical 23 yard line by oldest Lindsay [Music] so it will be marked at the 23-yard line that punt traveled 42 yards and into a good sniff with I'm going to say Jim in a win such as that that is a great punt just a beautiful kick was not as high normally as Hatcher will get one it just sort of drove into the wind and 42 yards great kick all right South Carolina out Blasingame and hey good now are the running backs wide to the right side they bring Horace Smith Hillary goes left Smith the motion from right to left as Gordon back on the quarterback takes out rides it off that is hey good turning the right side comes up to the 25 26 yard line and is pulled down there [Applause] defensively for the Tigers cherry Cunard was there along with Jeff subtle though he had an injured player there fitting up little little late getting up Hagen he's okay reason he couldn't get up as there were still a couple of Tigers on the top of him there they were tangled up in each other and it's at the 26 yard line a pickup of three it will be second down and seven for South Carolina as Hillary goes to the left side forward to the right side Smith goes left high formation Beckham riding it off again say hey good hegwood backs out to about the 29 yard line and his hip there as leading the charge was Danny Triplett with help from Jeff bright so it's Marc now at the 28 and a half yard line it'll be third down a long four for the Gamecocks [Applause] so third and four now out they come Smith to the right side Hillary goes left Beckham Haslem in a split backfield drops to throw rush on him from the far side but he curved fires downfield incomplete the intended receiver was Horace Smith that he was wide open out of up to 38 yard line but could not hang on to the football so Chris Norman on now it's a punt for the first time that ball hit him high up on the chest Jim I think it may have gotten his shoulder pads bounced right out Norman might get off a problem here Billy Davis was backed up for the Tigers Jays got that good win be I'm good rice and they block it they block it into the end zone and Clemson will recover for a touchdown it looks like Johnny rember gets the touchdown they came hard and it is Johnny Rembert [Applause] they came hard they rushed they booked and Scott a couple of weeks ago we saw one blocked or last week in fact that went through the end zone this one got to the end zone and had backspin on it and it stopped and rendered Obon it Oh incredible play well I think it was McSwain who got through to block rod or Chuck had to be rod rod McSwain got through to block that punt they were coming and now yep the field has been barrage with oranges I was so caught up in the excitement of the touchdown that I did not see all of that so we're going to have a delay here while they clear the oranges off well that very obvious a big defensive play by the Tigers right there as they got through to block that punt and put their six points on the board say hello to Frank Allen of Abbeville who is ill and of course cannot be at this game today and has been following the hunts and tigers for more than 25 years one of their biggest fans that the Tigers had he's cheering them on to victory here today and certainly hope that that gets everybody in the right frame of mind I think we finally decided was indeed rembered who recovered the ball in the end zone right Manny when Bert gets here right while they clear horns us off here I have a couple other mentions - you know Scott we were talking last week about being heard on the Clemson North Carolina game on Armed Forces Radio well in Korea it was 2:00 a.m. on Sunday morning when Danny Roberts who was in the Air Force was listening in and he wants to tell David Rick mom and dad all hello and happy to hear from him I'll tell you what I'm sorry we can't do that are we just did 528 to go in the first period of play Clemson has scored it's a 7 to 6 game now as Bob palling will attempt to add the extra point we're about ready to go here all right now we're set to go here's the snap Pauly's kick is up his kick is no good off to the right but pulling finally has missed an extra point he had hit 36 in a row and missed that one wide to the right there's time out on the field the score here at Williams Weiss South Carolina 7 from some six [Applause] [Applause] a blocked punt and the Tigers recovered in the end zone all of a sudden the defense stands up and does it again and we're back almost to even it's 7 to 6 Carolina on top of Clemson 528 to go first period of play big wave week a set to kick it off into the wind for the first time this afternoon and we see what kind of leg he can get into about a 20 mile an hour way all right hey good is backed up deep to receive along with Smith and Lewis for the Gamecocks a quake week' approaches the football hits on high end over in he gets up on that wind and just dies it'll be hey good grabbing off the 5 to the 10 the 15 gets outside at the plenty up the middle of 25 makes his way out over the 30 to the 32 yard line and his finally pulled down and over was Pickett to make the tackle for the Tigers den hey good that quick freshman back out of Easley on ripping it straight up the middle and returns it to the 33 where it's first and 10 for the Gamecocks in a 7 6 football game with 520 remaining in the first quarter of play wide to the left side go Smith Todd berry Johnny right in the I formation behind quarterback Gordon Beckham now they have a wing on the left side that's shivers in the ball game now pitch back to Johnny Wright tries right tackle gets back to the line of scrimmage and that will be it as he has hit hard by Pickett who has moved in now defensively for the Tigers for some service here so Clemson coming with the numerous linebackers in this game Scott no gain on the play it'll be second down in ten for the Gamecocks a lot of people were surprised at the progress Kent Hagan is made here in South Carolina those who saw him play in high school are not surprised at all for a Smith goes wide to the left side they'll be in the I formation second down and ten Gordon Beckham at quarterback takes out rides it off to the second man through Johnny Wright he gets a yard or two but he has knocked down at the 34 yard line as Jeff Davis and Dan Benishek are there defensively for Clemson and all of a sudden that Clinton defense is standing up and saying hey you can't run against us like that Gamecocks are faced with a third and daring lawn now blazing game and hey good now check-in up a running back positions Wayne shivers checks out wide to the left side goes Horace Smith on the near side is our Hillary Beckham hasn't been asked wit back though he's dropping to throw looking to his left now firing over the middle it is complete up to the 40 up across the 45 and knock down at the 46 yard line his Horace Smith who went blind to the left side and then just angled back over the middle and broke open Beckham hit him beautifully as he had good protection to pass and he had he made the tackle it's a first down Gamecocks the ball just shy of their own 45 yard line that's a tight pass pattern that demands that you have good coverage because it takes a while for spent to break open a route in behind the linebackers and in front out the free safety Hilary comes to the right Smith goes to the left Beckham has him in a split backfield now 7-6 Gamecocks leading first quarter 3:38 remaining back him back to throw rice shut in and coming was Pickett and he knocks him down back around the thirty six or seven there is a flag on the play up around the line of scrimmage and let's see what that's all about offside Clemson so there is a sack that will not go down as a sack as a result of the offsides on the play you'll remember an illegal procedure penalty earlier set up the Beckham run to the 41 that kept their drive alive Clinton just cannot afford to make mistakes against a good Carolina football team like this so it's after the 49 it will be first down and five for the Gamecocks now again they're sending Smith's to the left side and Hillary splits off right in high formation back to the quarterback sending Corley in motion from wing left now he comes to the right side Beckham takes out rolling to his lap looking to pitch back pitches on the corner to Haygood he's got a block he's out across the 50 and into Tiger territory to the 46 or 7 yard line it was Jeff Davis and Terry Cunard who got to him at that point and he will be just shy of a first down over there want to say hello to dr. Phillip our Fiddler's Phil Fidler Sumter veterinarian Munson graduate of 1958 has been admitted to Emory hospital in Atlanta where he scheduled for surgery and certainly wish him our best and hope that he's hearing the Tigers and the Gamecocks in action here this afternoon wide to the right side Smith Ellery goes left now they wing poorly on the right side he'll go in motion left they work from an eye formation ride it off to hey good hey good as the first down as he gets to the 45 perhaps the 44 yard line and finally hit there by William Perry the middle guard in the tiger defense this drive started on Carolina's 733 they've moved into Clemson territory now to first downs a costly offside penalty which hurt a great deal very definitely hurt because picket on a blitz that moved into SAC Beckham on the play but all of that nullified by the penalty table berry Johnny Wright the backfield Smith goes left side they'll wing on the left side with Hilary now back on the quarterback whoops again almost drawing the Tigers offside back to throw is back on rolling to his left has good protection and fires it is tipped and then incomplete as it was caught out of bounds by Todd berry tipped by one of the Tigers and that delayed it just enough that when he caught it he was out of bounds I believe Jeff subtle may have got a hand on it I believe you're right either settle or Bryant but it would appear to be subtle say hello to Tonya Patton who was in the Woodruff Hospital Tiger fan who was injured at school this week and Tonya hope that you're feeling much better and hope that you'll get home very very shortly and where's hope you'll be able to see your Tigers of action very shortly - Hillary goes to the left side they wing on the right side now was Smith split backfield behind gordy back on that second down at ten ball at the 45 yard line of the Tigers Beckham back to throw rice on him and he's going to be hauled down back at his own 45 yard line it was William Devane from middle guard who knocked him down the ball popped out but it was ruled dead before a did pop up Jeff Davis and triplet were coming along with Devane and Devane got to him and it's backed up now to the South Carolina 45 yard line where it will be third down and 20 for the Gamecocks 1:44 remaining here in the first quarter of play williams-brice stadium blazing gain and hey good the running backs Hillary goes to the left side Horace Smith comes up flanked to the right side third and 20 Beckham up under Sutter Maus and Smith in motion from right to left and I believe we got a delay of game here sonna Carolina did not get the play off now would think so Jim he was trying to check off yep that's the call so it's another five yards backing it up to the 40 yard line where it will be third down and 25 and now all of a sudden you can begin to feel a little shift of momentum as a couple of mistakes coupled with some fine defensive play by Clemson beginning to turn things around a little bit rock is moving under a minute 20 now the first period of play the Gamecocks operating with their wins to the back Hillary goes to the left side Smith flank to the right side split backfield behind back on the quarterback third down 25 South Carolina from their own 40-yard line Beckham taking out dropping straight back rush on him he's rolling to his right now looking to throw firing it is cut and incomplete what a hit by Jeff subtle out there can't pay good as he was reaching up for the reception and subtle put a tattoo on if I'll mark you on that that is one of the hardest hits I've ever seen in football Jim Wow he not it's incredible hey good up in the air hit him about chest high hey good speed continued to move straight out but his chest remained in a particular motion what a hit 55 seconds to go around Billy Davis backed up Chris Norman to punt now for South Carolina Tigers have 10 men up there again will they come once more on this punt we'll find out here shortly as we await the snap back there comes their got subtle coming in there he just gets it off and it's a bad kick shank to the right side going to hit at the tiger 32 and be downed at the 33 yard line [Applause] 27-yard punt that time by Chris Norman and again the Tigers were coming and subtle almost got it subtle came to the outside Jim if you'd taken a more inside approach he might have gotten a hand on it Brunson with the football Gerry Gilyard Carey Tuttle go yard goes to the right side Tuttle comes left Chuck McSwain is in the tail back with Kevin Michael Pfohl back now the officials pondering something out here is that clock is down to 46 seconds remaining in the first quarter I don't know exactly what they are discussing here seven six off Carolina leads that much I can tell you thank is it going back to the huddle here now they control the ball almost five minutes that last possession Jim and the drive really bogged down after two quick first downs the devayne sack certainly helped in the penalty helped a good deal I don't know exactly what's going on Scott so one of the officials now has gone over to confer with Danny Ford along the pumps and sidelines the officials met and then whatever it was it's been done Gilyard goes to the right side tunnel comes to the near side they'll be in an i formation with Kevin Mack and Chuck McSwain behind Homer Jordan tunnel in motion from left to right Homer now up under Center takes out hitch back on the corner a bad pitch homer picks it up however and falls down with it right around the line of scrimmage he was pitching back to him explained it was a bad pitch off the market bounced off the ask Walter and Homer picked it up as James see right then pulled him down the ball did something unusual for a football it bounced almost as if the basketball would bounce when you drop it on the astroturf didn't hit on the end hit on the fat part and came straight back up alright they lose the yard on the play it'll be second down on the Levin shuttle goes wide right Magwood will be a on the right side as Homer Jordan sets them in the eye rolling to his right looking to throw Homer firing downfield for tunnel he's got it up at the 49 yard line and out of bounds Robert Pirlo chase team Otto bounds but Tuttle on an out pattern was able to grab it before he went out of bounds at the 49 and it's a first down for the Tigers and let me tell you folks that was a heck of a throw into the wind all the way across the field you got to have a strong arm to do that Stockstill goes to the right no yard comes left that worked from an eye formation once again behind Homer Jordan to quarterback only 7 seconds remaining in the first quarter his stock stills in motion right to left Jordan riding it off under the layout McSwain over the 45 at the 40 and 20 at the 35 Monica 30 the 25 and all the way down to the 21 those chuck McSwain on us pretty a room with the footballers you'll ever see Harry skipper finally dragging him down and we have reached the end of the first quarter of play after one quarter at Williams place the score South Carolina 7 Clemson 6 [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] chuk McSwain has reasserted the Clemson ground game with a 29-yard first and Jim he followed his Walker's as well as anybody let's get 15 seconds for station identification on the Clemson football Network [Applause] Gilyard to the left tunnel to the right here's McSwain again on a handoff straight ahead he goes gets inside the 22 about the 18 yard line and he is stacked up there Mike juror Robert Pirlo came across defensively for South Carolina so McSwain carrying in to the 17 yard line they have marked it the couple for will be second down in six Bubba takes has just checked in now as has Frank Magwood Magwood goes to the left Tuttle comes to the right eye formation behind Homer Jordan at quarterback Jordan moves up under center it's second down six for the Tigers at the 17 yard line of the Gamecocks Homer taking out back to throw rolling to his right firing it is over the middle and crab down there by Tuttle a couple of juggles but he finally gets it in near the 11 yard line and that's Kevin Mac not Perry Tuttle that's 27 I see out there Matt coming out of the backfield juggling that ball as he rammed down the line his early a 10 yard line but he finally hung on and got it to the 11 Phil Ellison James C Wright were there defensively and is it enough for a first down let's see yes it is it is enough for a first down as it's at the 11 yard line first downs in the first quarter South Carolina had five Clemson 3 USC 36 yards rushing the Tigers only 31 will pick up some more these stats in a moment new yard goes wide to the left Stockstill flags off the right side they'll be in am i formation stock still emotion from right to left Homer takes out back to McSwain burns the right side but Swain down to the five hit the ground and the ball is dead there the ball popped out but was after McSwain was down on the ground some of the South Carolina's going after if there's an injured Gamecock player back here around the 10 or 11 yard line and I believe that might be Ricky Hager it is Ricky hey good the middle guard and of course they are really then there because of course Emanuel Weaver went down in the Pacific game and now hey good a little groggy is being aided towards the sidelines it appears like he might be favoring that right leg as he does so it they're allowing him to put weight on it so that's a good sign yeah they have been decimated in the middle of the line by injuries on defense one could imagine Tony Walker now goes in at Mill guard timeout has been asked by South Carolina with timeout on the field 1331 remaining in the half the score Gamecocks 7 Clemson 6 [Music] [Applause] [Music] very no let him go [Applause] [Applause] we're back 1331 left to go in the first half of seven to six game the scoreboard might not indicate it but this has been a wild and woolly first half a play so far and we still got a long way to go Jim you got another note there yeah let me get a little bit on this big Thursday's in super Saturday's the complete story of the famous football rivalry between Clemson University of South Carolina to be published and available to book theaters in early December a four hundred plus page both written by Don Barton of Columbia was letting a game buy a game account of this series beginning with the inaugural game at 1896 through this one today it'll be available soon now that ought to be some great great reading tell you one thing a heck of a lot of research went into that all right Tigers have the football it's in up a five-yard line of South Carolina second down Austin and McSwain in the backfield this time that is great break fighting his way down to the line of scrimmage and that's it great I didn't even see him lined up on a wing over there but he was and that little wing reverse that they used successfully earlier this season but it did not catch South Carolina as Troy Thomas was right with him all the way and nails him at the five yard line so it is now third down Jim that's the kind of situation a running back is out there up in the corner back all alone by himself and credit Thomas boy he did a great job of containing pride on the play all right they'll line up with Magwood as a wing to the right side this time they'll be in an eye behind Jordan Homer riding and keeping and he's going to be thrown to a loss back at the six yard line Palmer Jordan kept and was hit for a loss on the play at the seven they are going to market and now the Tigers are faced with a fourth down and we may well see the kicking team coming on see right got to Homer Jordan and buried him back at the 7 yard line not only that Homer almost fumbled that darn ball and went straight up in the air it was lucky to get it back and now we get a chance for three points here's a boy waking up this baba lollipop lolli Bob pulling in now Anthony prep the hold this will be an effort of 24 yards from the left hash mark Pauling's kick is up his kick is good Bob pulling with a 24 yard field goal and with 1210 remaining in the second quarter time-out on the field the score Tigers 9 South Carolina 7 [Applause] [Music] [Applause] it's nine to seven egg white we came in to kick it off now as the Carolina fans are up as their defense halted Clemson the Tigers had a first and goal from the Crimea our first down from the 11 yard line they were stopped at about the five on successive plays McSwain Crichton Jordan couldn't push it across they had to settle for the field goal with calling 24 yards out hey good is backed up deep for South Carolina a quake week' with the wind to his back now we'll kick off to the Tigers approaches the football hits it high down the middle a good backed up to into the end zone comes out of there with it up over the five the 10 straight up the middle to the 20 and finally pulled down as he pulls his way forward to about the 27 yard line so hey good showing that great speed coming out of the end zone went straight up the middle and we have an injured South Carolina player so again an injured Gamecock out here being attended to and I don't have a number on them yet special greetings to all the listeners on WH ni in is that mo Bane or me Bane North Carolina Scott do you know Hemi ba and I sure don't never heard that down but we certainly are looking to the northernmost station on our network and the many fans and the Virginia and Washington DC area have driven down to my vein to hear today's game so folks from all over following the Tigers along the Clemson Network today as they still attend to that injured player down there I cannot see who it is Scott because they are attending him right now it would lead you to believe that possibly it could be hey good because it's about where he returned to but then you hate to speculate on something like that especially when his brother was injured just a couple of plays ago homer in the first quarter was two for two in passing Beckham was two for five homer passed for 29 yards Beckham for 25 total plays 19 for South Carolina in the first quarter 10 for the Tigers total offense about as even as you can get 61 for the Gamecocks 60 for the Tigers in the first quarter well it was Kent hey good he's under his own power as he comes to the sidelines they took a long look at him and he puts a hand in the small of his back there may have taken a pop there all right Gamecocks with the football nine to six Tigers lead Watson came and Johnny Wright split backfield behind Gordon Beckham wide receiver to the right side Beckham this time riding it off to right right fights his way forward gets out to the 30-yard line and is knocked down at the 30 yard line and up defensively was Jeff Davis for the Tigers with Anthony Rose so market at the 30 yard line now pickup of three it will be second down and seven for South Carolina Gamecocks scored on their first possession here this afternoon driving 52 yards Tigers blocked a punt Johnny Rembert fell on it in the end zone for a touchdown Halling missed the extra point the calling came on to kick one then from 24 yards on a field goal that's 9 7 Clemson here's Beckham back to throw as time looking over the middle and firing it's tipped and incomplete it was tipped by Jeff Davis the intended receiver was Kris Corley and after the tip the ball fell harmlessly so it now will become 3rd down 7 yards to go for South Carolina Jeff Davis from his linebacker position that time was not really rushing the quarterback was just more or less laying back in his zone and was able to tip that ball away Smith goes wide to the right side Hillary comes to the left Beckham will have them in a split backfield now takes out dropping straight back to throw again as time now all rush on if he fires over the middle and it is caught up at the 35 to the 36 yard line goes Horace Smith and let's see whether or not he has the artis for a first down I don't think so Jim I believe he's going to come up well maybe a yard shy yeah looking across the field okay it's good it'll be close enough for him to take a look at it I believe it will come up about a yard shy it spotted at the 36 and the chain sticks over there show that they need to get up to about the 37 yard line I thought for a moment there Smith may be injured but he was just I think he was on the ground trying to get an angle on whether he got the first down or not good throw under pressure by Beckham all right stretch the chains out now take a look at it and it is short they're not by much and gentlemen not in the mood to gamble at this time is sending Chris Norman on to punt for the game God's as Billy Davis will backed up deep for the Tigers were you in a game like this you never know what's going to happen and this is where you might look for that fake yep see if the Tigers will come with ten again audience seemed Brendan cried go in motion and not be involved in the play other than being a blocker and all of a sudden on a little reverse action he carries the ball so I'm sure they got to drag out everything today ten man rush coming for Clemson snap back to Norman and they able to get a roughing the kicker no flag no flag Norman went down but the official standing there said no he was not hit and that brings the laughs of the Gamecock fans is Billy Davis fair catches down at the 32 yard line and that's where Clemson will put it in play a 31 yard punt by Norman long thing is obvious they're going to come every time South Carolina Plus today I think Scott well question about that they've proved it the first three times this paid off they've gotten six points out of it it's a 9 to 7 game that could join us the late clemson on top of the Gamecocks 1051 to go in the half Brian butcher is into the tight end he'll line up on the left side worstest to the right wide to the left side goes tunnel high formation now Kevin Mack along with Chuck McSwain oh here's a flea-flicker homers going to throw deep for tunnel tunnel he's out there has to wait on it makes the grab down at the 9 yard a flea-flicker they gave at the McSwain he flipped it back to Homer who threw for Tuttle and he's all the way down to the 11 or 12 they're going to market kolo was there well Pirlo intercepted I'm sorry I'm sorry poor will intercepted the ball I didn't have the glasses you had sack so Perla was intercepted in South Carolina has I am very very sorry folks [Applause] they both went up for it and they came down on a mass and I did not see the Pirlo had the football but he does in South Carolina has it at the 12 yard line so quarterback Gordy Beckham now has them ready to go rides it off and the handoff goes to right Johnny comes up over the 14 and is knocked down around the 15 yard line as over defensively was Terry canard with Jeff Davis so market at the 14 after the interception by Robert Earl Scott did you see Farlow grab that ball out of the crowd you shook the collar because I saw them both going up down there and I when they came down they were both on the ground and I thought that tunnel had it Gordy Beckham as I'm in a split backfield Beckham now back to thrall dropping straight back to the five looking over the middle firing down on the right flat it is incomplete thrown short of the intended receiver Horace Smith Rob McSwain was over there playing defense with the Tigers but that ball just came up short and they're the same type pass that Homer through but that wind that time caught Beckham stro and it came up short dangerous pass to throw a particular to get that deep in your own territory cornerback gets one of those in it's byebye baby I mean you can almost walk into the end zone that time it was well covered and the ball just under thrown third down seven yards to go plasm game hey good split backfield for the Gamecocks quarterback Gordy Beckham takes out drops great back to throw again as time looking down the left side he's got a man open out here and it is incomplete the intended receiver was IRA Hilary he had to leap for the football and when he it was a little too high went through his fingers and so now it will be fourth down and the Gamecocks will bring Chris Norman on again to do the punting with 955 remaining in the first half of play Beckham was three for eight thirty yards homer three of 435 yards and of course the one interception okay then they come again and they're coming he's working into the wind all 10 of them will be coming once again for Clemson here with Billy Davis backed up and Norman's standing on the goal line gets the snap and gets the kickoff it's an end over end kick that is going to hit at the 45 bound high into the air be grabbed by Davis at his own 47 fights his way out to about the 48 and that's it as a host of Gamecock tacklers grabbing there a 37-yard punt by Chris Norman and the football spotted at the tiger 48 yard line where they'll have it first intent well this is a day when you have two punters very very capable of kicking the ball and a lot of the joy of watching them kick is going to be taken out of it by the fact that that wind is blowing so hard in one of them space Kevin Mack and cliff Boston will be the running backs for the Tigers one punter is going to be faced with adversity at some point in the ballgame here today depended on which quarter it's in and that's kicking into a stiff breeze Gilyard goes as a slot on the left side inside of Tuttle now Devon Mack well Austin Austin gets a call straight up the middle cracks across the 50 into Gamecock territory down around the 49 perhaps the 48 yard line Ricky Haygood who was back in there now along with Mike dura making the tackle for South Carolina 9 to 7 Tigers on top with 9 minutes and 26 seconds remaining in the first half of play route of 56,000 at least Tuttle goes wide left Magwood is a slot on the left side they'll work from a split backfield this time Jordan back to throw Homer rolling left now gonna hang on to the football and it's gonna get out of bounds at the 50 yard line as he was chased over there by Troy Thomas Homer was looking to throw for Tuttle but Barry was well covered on the play that time could not get open and Homer eats it and loses a couple back to the 50 yard line so it's going to be third down and 7 for the Tigers butcher checks out of there now it tight in and Bubba Diggs gets back in tunnel goes wide to the left side new yard a slot left split backfield behind Homer Jordan to quarterback yo yard in motion from left to right back to throw flag goes down somebody jumped out of the blocks a little too soon for the Tigers I believe Brant Fischer came out of there a little too quickly and the whistle blowing it dead at that point and the Tigers will have five yards marched off against them and it will become third down and 12 now as it will come back to the Clemson 45 yard line well there's no question in the world that Homer was going to throw at that time this may or may not change his play selection here on third about 13 yards to go nine minutes and one second remaining in the second quarter of play nine seven Tigers on top wide to the right Tuttle Magwood a slot on the right side what she was back in it tight in now split backfield behind Homer Jordan Homer dropping back to throw rush on him he's rolling to his left still looking to throw he's going deep out there is mag word he is well covered and it is tipped away by Troy Thomas good job defensively by Troy Thomas who saw the ball all the way down and just tipped it away from the intended receiver Frank Magwood and so Gayle Hatcher will come on to punt the football now with the wind at his back either one of these fellas capable of kicking the ball into the cloud on a day like this joy Thomas backed up to the scene for South Carolina as Hatcher awaits back at the 30 gets the snap gets the kickoff Thomas got a fair catch grabs it off at the 15-yard line and that's where the Gamecocks will start first and ten so Dale Hatcher with a 40-yard punt just kind of soft-footed that one didn't want to kick it into the end zone if it can help it and Thomas gathers it in at the 15-yard line and that's for the Gamecocks to start first and ten is Gordon Beckham now checks back in seems to lead this offensive team nine seven Tigers on top in the game South Carolina scored first driving 52 yards the first time they had possession of the football wide to the left now comes aura Smith lazon game and right are in the I formation now in motion goes jibbers from the wing left to the right as Beckham takes out rolling to his lap pitches out in the corner a block out there and that's Johnny right out over the 20 to the 25 and I believe has enough for a first time as he is knocked down maybe just shy yeah a little shy of the 25-yard line so it will be second down and one for the Gamecocks but there's that pitch that they use so successful even when George Rogers was here Scott and Johnny Wright looking aa George on that running for a Smith goes wide to the right side Hillary comes out left Beckham now sending shivers in motion from right to left Gordy keeping pitching back on the corner this is Johnny right getting outside and knocked down around the 26 yard line should have enough for a first down Jeff Davis tracking him down at that point I believe it's enough it is enough for a game talk first out so it's at the 26 yard line actually the pitch sweep one of the most basic place upon a delay of game so it'll back up five yards that it will be first and 15 for South Carolina Jim you will notice in the first series when Carolina ran the ball so effectively the linebackers for Clemson were maybe four yards off the line of scrimmage they tightened up considerably right now they're jumping in and out of the holes faking the Blitz they're giving the offensive line something to think about so it's backed up to the 21 yard line where's 1st and 15 South Carolina Smith comes wide to the left side Hillary goes to the right Beckham now has a split backfield behind him as he moves up under Center takes out drops great back to throw Beckham looking over the middle firing and it is incomplete intended there for Duane shivers he was covered by Mark Richardson up around the 25-yard line so it'll be second down 15 for South Carolina now from the 21 yard line I think the people who are watching the game that little John will agree that the difference in this Clemson defense as opposed to the first drive is that the linebackers are much more active they're giving the Carolina defense something to think about they are up in the gaps they back off again you have Hadden who is dropping off the line of scrimmage occasionally Smith comes to the near side Beckham up under has Hillary wide to the right side split backfield now Gordon Beckham taking out dropping straight back to throw once again firing deep over the middle and is going to be intercepted around the 50 by Hollis Hall down to the 35 the 30 hole finally pulled down at the 28 yard line and that's interception number five on the year for Hollis Hall Dell Wilkes finally pulling him down as beckons pass was overthrown and Hollis picked it up and the Tigers have it now after the 27 yard return of the interception all have you mentioned that we're in the wind tunnel today it is a little windy as I saw that interception - yes didn't see the earlier one all right Tuttle comes wide to the right side Palmer has Kevin Mack and Flip Boston in the eye behind him yo yard goes left Jordan set takes out rides it off to Kevin Mack straight ahead he plunges across the 25 at the 24 yard line where Mike Durham makes the tackle so we'll pick up with 4 yards on the play it'll be second down and six for the Tigers so the Tigers lead by two get a big big break by the defense in fact the defense just played so great here today with the exception of the first Carolina tribe they've got the block punt into the end zone recovered and he kind of shot here getting some more points on the board Magwood goes left tunnel comes to the right side they're in an i formation behind Homer Jordan at quarterback it's second down and six for the Tigers at the 24 yard line here is the hand off to Austin slate ahead he goes and he'll be belted back he got a couple moved in near the 22 yard line and then was hip and pushed back Mike Douro leading the charge of defenders for South Carolina you're right it is a wind tunnel normally uh well not normally over years passed and two years ago Scott we had a nice booth from which to work here at williams-brice stadium but someone has taken over that area they tell me and we're now rooftop up here on the photo deck and the wind is whistling drew there is Homer Jordan looking to pitch that does so to Austin boy Homer was really hit right after the pitch and Austin carries inside the 22 about the 19 yard line where he is knocked down it'll be close he had to get inside the 19 I think for a first down depends on where they spotted Jim I don't know who got to Homer before he was belted just at the moment he pitched the football well somebody on either side of the line of scrimmage is assigned a homer to get to him all right Tigers want to discuss it now they'll take a timeout with timeout on the field 5:21 remaining in the half the score Clemson ninth goal I know seven five 21 to go first half of play it's 9:00 to 7:00 the Tigers lead by two but they got a big big decision here to make on fourth down Jim that ball is maybe half yard three quarters of the yard shy they're talking about it right now Homer is over well this is an awfully big play if they do decide to go for it and I would anticipate that they will because Homer is standing there talking with the coaches no sign of the field goal team it becomes a big play in as much that if South Carolina would stop them on this it would be a big emotional lift for them again well South Carolina had the early momentum clemson gained it someone in the second quarter of play right now the momentum seems to be a little bit in limbo Clemson could reassert its momentum right here on this play all right they'll work the double tight end grunting flight will check in he'll become a wing on the left side Homer Jordan at quarterback goal at the 19 yard line right in motion from left to right Homer takes our pitch back to Austin he's got the first down and more as he cracks him to about the 15 yard line so they run a sweep outside right tackle Hayley skipper makes the defensive play but the Tigers got a first down as the ball is spotted for 14 yard line [Applause] good movement off the right offensive side of the line they made to play possible driving that defensive line back a couple of yards and from there it was clear sailing for Cliff Austin shuttle goes to the left side Gilyard comes to the right side I formation behind Homer Jordan the quarterback the ball at the 14 yard line of South Carolina Jordan up under Center takes out gives to Kevin Mack he'll run straight ahead and get down to about the 11 yard line and be hit there by Ricky Haygood and Andrew Provence Jim if South Carolina lines up in that defense again like that you see the wide gap between the middle guard and the tackle it'll be on the weak side of the line away from the tight end they went right at that gap that time with Mack if they line up similar this time look for Mack to carry it again alright 3 yard pickup second down and seven Tigers Homer again puts them in the I'm AG woods to the right this time Homer rolling to his left looking to throw now gonna run Homer at the 10 the 5 and touchdown Palmer Jordan was looking to throw there was no question about that but then he saw a gap and Homer took off and crept into the endzone from 11 yards out and the Tigers have moved on top 15 to 7 now as golf palling will come on to attempt the point after once again timeout has been requested by the Tigers so they have used two of their timeouts here with 439 remaining here in this first half of play time out on the field with the score Clemson 15 South Carolina 7 go [Applause] official a 28-yard six plays 216 off the clock we still have 439 to go in the first half Jam Homer Jordan is on the field they're going to go for it two-point conversion time here in williams-brice stadium the Tigers will attempt to get that missed conversion attempt by Pauling back well of course Pauling had kicked 36 in succession as a Clemson Tiger before he missed after the first touchdown Johnny rember touchdown incidentally that came off the block punt and rembered falling on it in the end zone Tuttle goes wide to the left Gilyard comes to the near side Kevin Mack or check that who's at tailback now because Austin's up at fullback and stock stills in at tailback tunnel in motion from left to right is Homer rolling to his right is looking to throw now firing it is too high too high for Starkville well it isn't Stockstill he was in front that's good and the ball thrown a little too high Gerry could not come down with it so the tie for the extra point no good with timeout here with Williams rice the score Clemson 15 South Carolina 7 but Scotch Adam with Jim Phillips Mackey williams-brice stadium Jim the reason you saw Stockstill at tailback and I think it's worth mentioning right now he reset as a wingback on the right side that gave Clemson three wide receivers on the right side they flooded the right side of the end zone that time it didn't work Carolina's defense did very well here's big wave week as kickoff high end over end Ken hey good waiting for it we'll grab it at the goal line up over the five straight up the middle look at em tweets to his right and his really hit as he comes out to about the 17 yard line and nailing him that time was Randy cheek well that's another strong strong hit up there total offense thus far mumps and I'm from 4 yards South Carolina 82 yards might call out a little defensive struggle wouldn't you stop you might ball is spotted at the 18 yard line of South Carolina they have a 1st and 10 with for 34 remaining here in the first half wide to the left side comes Hilary Blasingame and hey good on a split backfield behind back on the quarterback Jeff Davis faking the Blitz out there back to throw Beckham being chased out of a pocket now running with a 1520 Beckham gets off to the 25 and Jeff Davis finally pulls him down at the 28 yard line got a flag yeah we got a personal file I would think here and II hadn't came along a little late that time they'll discuss it now with Gordon Beckham II might not be a personal foul here because normally they wouldn't discuss that would they they just March it off yeah also Clemson player has his face in the huddle also over there that triplet that is a personal foul against the type of job so Andy Hadden who came along late that time will more than likely be the recipient of that personal foul and it's going to move the football downfield now to the 45 yard line of the Gamecocks where they have it first and 10 was still 424 remaining in the first half of play Clemson leading 15 to 7 here at williams-brice stadium in the 79th renewal of this ancient battle Gamecocks the cheer goes up Smith goes wide to the right side they'll bring Hillary to the left that time at quarterback now has a split backfield behind him long count at the line of scrimmage once again this time riding it off to the first man through and that's Blasingame nowhere for him to go though is William Devane and Jeff Bryant read it beautifully a little delay that time a losing game just getting back to the line of scrimmage lost a little a little misdirection that time also Jim we're trying to catch the Clemson defenders heading to the left and cut back to the right that time that didn't work they cut him down really nice 349 to go in the first half again Smith goes wide to the right side Hillary comes left once more they'll work from that split backfield as Beckham moves up under Center second down and Teddy straight back to throw now being rushed by Bryant comes out of there and fires over the middle incomplete intended for Haygood and knocking it down was Danny Triplett who got the left hand in to knock it away so now it'll be third down and 10 for South Carolina from there 45 yard line dykes on the left offensive side of the line Jim is having his hands full right now with Jeff Brian Brian is doing a job on the pass rush sort of laying back in his ears and coming at the quarter dive all right Hillary to the left Smith goes to the right side Tigers again faked that blitz will they come with it or not as Beckham lose up under center they're coming Beckham drops back to throwing fires over the middle it is almost intercepted by Anthony Rose who came in front of IRA Hillary the intended receiver and Anthony just tried to run with the football before he had a good grasp of it well he had it had it right in his hands so once more Chris Norman is on the punt for South Carolina as Billy Davis backs up for the Tigers and he's the only one back there 329 remaining here in the first half of play 15 to 7 clemson on top norman standing at the 30 to await the snap tigers are not coming with 10 man rush this time it's a beauty into that wind Davis fair catch has it at the 17 yard line so that's where the Tigers will put it in play and now we got a scuffle out here and the flag has been thrown but was 37 yards but a scuffle between some of the players on a flag thrown down here it's melody against South Carolina [Applause] Andy Andy hadn't talking to some of the players as he walks off personal foul against the Gamecocks this time that's going to get the Tigers out of a pretty good-sized hole here it's gonna bring it out to about the 33 yard line it's back to the 18 where the fair catch was made so agro come out to the 33 where the Tigers will have it not with 3:21 remaining in the half Clemson has been penalized four times for 30 yards South Carolina three times for 25 yards here in this game may I give you another statistic that's even more amazing Jim South Carolina's only 1st down this quarter came on the Beckham run [Applause] Devon Mack cliff Austen the running backs goyard has left Tuttle is right Homer Jordan sends tunneling motion from right to left Homer takes out this time gives off to Austin Austin out over the 35 to the 39 yard line before he has finally pulled down and across defensively was Hal Henderson market to the 38 yard line of make it to 39 a six yard pickup it'll be second down and four Magwood going wide left Tuttle coming to the right again they'll be in an i formation to 55 remaining in the half 15 to 7 clemson on top shuttling motion right to left Homer Jordan at quarterback taking out back austin fumbles it picks it up on the first bounce gets up over the 45 to the 46 yard line well again one of those perfect bounces as Austin fumbled the pitch and it bounced right back into his hands and he gets out across the 45 for a first down where Mike dura made the defensive play hey that's price we've seen that this afternoon both times it happened to the Tigers the ball bounced straight up in the air earlier on a fumble of a pitch that Homer Jordan jumped back on this time Austin has he bounced right back up in his hands 233 remaining in the half trouble goes wide to the left side new yard comes right again there in an eye formation behind Homer Jordan at quarterback Jordan now sets him in a split backfield as Austin moves up alongside Kevin Mack Homer back to throw quick throw Gilyard he's got it across the 50 in the Gamecock territory in his down as well as his official an official knocked out on the play Harry skipper made the tackle where that official was blindsided down there hoho is he going to be ok yeah he jumped right back up he may have thrown a flag it's like clip yeah had a right to it yes right on the 50-yard line those of it just across into Carolina territory all right Tuttle goes wide to the left side Magwood is split off right in they work from a split backfield once again behind Homer Jordan Jordan rolling to his left looking to throw firing complete saw income dropped out there by the intended receiver that's brother digs his take his brother yeah last Bob I couldn't Kent the number there for a moment Pat PO and put a hit on him just as he grabbed for the football and he dropped it I think complete they've been working on a play all week Jim that the tight end just runs a little out route and they seem to think against Carolina they can run that pattern the pass was there then it was just down around the knees and takes never could bring it in all right Neal yard and stock still got in Hillyard goes to the left stock still to the right I formation behind Homer Jordan the quarterback now stock still emotion from right to left Homer takes out it is third down rides it off to Austin cliff straight ahead as he got enough for a first down we'll see here in a moment that was the old draw play and from my angle it looks like it yes it is a first down he carried an end to the 43 yard line for Pat Bowen and JD fuller bring him down but the Tigers running the delay or the draw that time and catching that defense off-guard and able to get the first down yardage sprint draw very effective play Austin waited and picked his hole Gary very well he held his ground through second till he decided how the blocking pattern would look then he went for it Brendon Krait has checked in you'll be in along with cliff Austin here's Homer rolling right over on him from behind as he see it well it doesn't matter he completes it downfield the Perry Tuttle inside the 30 to the 28 yard line James C Reich made the tackle boy a good hard rush was coming from the right side of that defense but Homer delivered the football and right into the hands of Tuttle at the 28 foot Boston 12 carries 40 yards Chuck McSwain three carries 39 yards at 79 yards out of the tailback McSwain is checked back in now and Austin is also in there so the two tailbacks are a split backfield behind Jordan Tuttle is in motion from right to left 56 seconds remaining and a half homer rolling to his left looking to throw being chased and he's gonna go down back up a 35 yard line Mike Tora was coming on a hard rush from his linebacker position and gets the Homer back up to 35 and that could be significant because it takes them way back now if they have to go for a field goal with less than a minute remaining in fact almost only a half minute now remaining in the half big wave we cave with a good leg he's got the wind at his back but still you like to get him in as close as possible 27 seconds remaining in the half wide to the right side Tuttle Magwood have SWAT on the right side Homer back to throw now going deep going for the big win to Magwood and he and the defender both go down they collided right at the goal line it's an incomplete pass incomplete passes Magwood and the defender delighted Li will destroy Thomas who was with him out there so 15 seconds now left in the first half of play it's third down he still could go up Jim and try to get it into the end zone and I think they may do that you know I would think they would run one pass play here they'd be interesting to see whether they'll go up over or whether they'll go with the down and out to try to get a little better position for a possible field goal here Tuttle and go yard are both lined up to the left Gill yard in motion from left to right split backfield homer hard rush on him run a big cut back at the 40 and that's going to make it a 57 or 58 yard attempt now if they go field goal Gary Johnson was coming with a hard right from his defensive and position well they're going to go field goal I think I don't believe just any question about it big wave we came with the wind at his back only six seconds to go well he's capable of kicking it that far we all know that peretta is standing out about the 48 yard line it's going to be a 58 yard attempt what's Oh timeout down there right now is why everyone's standing around Scott we're going to hang on to it right here though because very shortly we'll be coming up with our halftime break well this would break the Clemson all-time record Oh better Erie had a 57-yard here against Wake Forest in 77 for so Donald egg wave week a and his first ever field goal effort as a tiger kicked a 52-yard ur not a bad way to break in is it not this has got to be shorter 56 it would be about 56 yards right Wow I'll tell you they're going to do a short snap hunt this P is very close to the line of scrimmage very close his right we're only gonna snap the ball six yards we await the snap we await Peretti's hold here Zig way way Ches Kay I don't believe he's got the distance [Applause] no he had the distance a little wide to the left Oliver he's got that little punch shot he just punches into the football so South Carolina and the Tigers have played the first half of football here at williams-brice stadium and now at the end of one half of play the score bunsen 15 South Carolina's school [Music]
