South Carolina's Disappointing Seasons Come To An End With 28-14 Loss To Clemson

Per ESPN: COLUMBIA, S.C. -- — Cade Klubnik threw for 268 yards and ran for a touchdown, cornerback Ricardo Jones had two interceptions including one for a score, and Clemson closed a disappointing season with its fourth straight win, 28-14 over rival South Carolina on Saturday.

The Tigers (7-5) also got a touchdown run from Adam Randall, two field goals from Nolan Hauser and their defense held strong as the Gamecocks (4-8) tried to rally.

Jones led the way for a defense that had come under fire during Clemson's 3-5 start. He ended one drive with a pick in the end zone after South Carolina drove to the Tigers 23. He ended the game when LaNorris Sellers' pass bounced off receiver Nyck Harbor. Jones took it in for the clinching, 12-yard TD.

It was a satisfying finish to a disappointing regular season. Clemson, the defending Atlantic Coast Conference champs picked to repeat, lost four of its first five home games to fall from all title races.
