Derrick Witherspoon had a 5-yard touchdown run and late-season replacement quarterback Dexter McCleon directed a second-half comeback as No. 24 Clemson (8-3) defeated South Carolina (4-7) 16-13.
Witherspoon's score for the Tigers, who trailed 13-3 at halftime, evened the score at 13-13, and Nelson Welch's third field goal - a 31-yarder with 11:53 remaining - gave them the lead..
South Carolina drove to Clemson's 28-yard line with three minutes left, but linebacker Harom Pringle stopped Toby Cates on a reverse for a 7-yard loss and quarterback Steve Taneyhill threw incomplete on 4th-and-17.
