Tiger Tracks Flashbacks: The Catch II Wins It In 2000

Nov. 18, 2004

Aaron Hunt’s third field goal, a 25-yarder with seven seconds left, lifted No. 16 Clemson to a 16-14 victory over No. 25 South Carolina on Saturday in an incredible finish to one of college football’s oldest rivalries. Woody Dantzler found Rod Gardner for a 50-yard reception to South Carolina’s 8 with 10 seconds remaining and Hunt struck it through to send Death Valley into a frenzy. It was Clemson’s fourth straight win in the series, which dates to 1909. You can view highlights from the game now on Tiger Tracks.
