The No. 12/12 Clemson Tigers and the No. 16/14 South Carolina Gamecocks will renew their annual instate rivalry on Saturday, Nov. 30. Kickoff at Memorial Stadium in Clemson is scheduled for noon ET.
Saturday’s contest will mark the 121st meeting of the Palmetto State rivals, but with both teams harboring at-large hopes for the expanded College Football Playoff, the game will arguably be one of the series’ largest.
With Clemson at 9-2 and South Carolina at 8-3, the teams’ 17 combined wins are tied for the fifth-most entering the rivalry game in series history. It will mark only the fourth time the teams will meet with both squads ranked among the top 16 of the AP Poll (1987, 2012 and 2013).

2024 Clemson Football Roster
For the final home game of the 2024 football season, we will celebrate IPTAY and its 90 years of being the power behind the Paw.
SINCE 1934
In 1934 Clemson had just been defeated 6-0 by The Citadel, and it was not the only defeat that year. Fans were despondent. Joe Davis, Frank Jervey and Peter Hefner asked then-Coach Jess Neely how much money it would take for him to put out a good team. He replied that he thought he could do it with $10,000 a year.
The group decided to ask team supporters for $50 a year, but that amount proved to be too much in the middle of the Great Depression. But Rupert Fike met with other Clemson alums and penned the letter to Coach Neely that officially got the ball rolling: “Dear Coach, last night we had a little meeting at my house and organized the IPTAY Club.”
