Clemson vs. South Carolina updates: Live NCAA Football game scores, results for Saturday

The South Carolina Gamecocks will square off against the Clemson Tigers at noon ET on Saturday at Memorial Stadium. After both teams made easy work of their previous opponents, one of them is set up to suffer a discouraging change of fortune.

USC made easy work of the Tennessee Volunteers last week and carried off a 63-38 win. QB Spencer Rattler had a dynamite game for the Gamecocks; he passed for six TDs and 438 yards on 37 attempts. Near the top of the highlight reel was Rattler's 60-yard TD bomb to WR Josh Vann in the first quarter.

Meanwhile, Clemson ran circles around the Miami (FL) Hurricanes last week, and the extra yardage (447 yards vs. 98 yards) paid off. Everything went Clemson's way against Miami (FL) as they made off with a 40-10 victory. With Clemson ahead 24 to nothing at the half, the matchup was all but over already. It was another big night for their QB D.J. Uiagalelei, who passed for two TDs and 227 yards on 34 attempts in addition to rushing for one TD and 89 yards.

The Gamecocks have to know they'll be fighting an uphill battle given the 14.5-point spread they are up against. However, those who like betting on the underdog should be happy to hear that they are 3-1 against the spread when expected to lose.

Their wins bumped USC to 7-4 and the Tigers to 10-1. With both USC and Clemson swaggering in after impressive performances, it will be interesting to see which team steps up to teach the other some humility.
