Twitter reacts to Clemson’s upset home loss to South Carolina
Dabo Swinney and the Tigers had a rough performance Saturday as rivals Shane Beamer and South Carolina upset Clemson 31-30 in Death Valley.
Clemson’s loss against the Gamecocks snapped their 40-game home win streak and their seven-game win streak against South Carolina. It was an interesting loss for the Tigers, who entered the game two touchdown favorites but did not play like the favorites, beating themselves along the way.
It was a tough loss for the program as the team was outplayed and outcoached throughout the game. The offense and defense both had their struggles in this matchup for the Tigers, though the offense was the biggest letdown in the second half, as the Clemson managed just 13 passing yards in a half of football.
There’s a lot to say about this game, and social media surely showed that to be true this Saturday. Here’s a look at how Twitter reacted to Clemson’s upset loss to South Carolina in Death Valley.

The Ray Guy Award committee should present South Carolina's punter the trophy on the field after the game. Dude is insane.

What a meltdown for Clemson. Had 3 chances to go win it and coughed them all up. Credit to Shane Beamer and the Gamecocks. Clemson needs a reset this offseason IMO. Time to get some fresh ideas in the building.

Today Clemson jumped out to a 14-0 lead. In 1984 Clemson jumped out in front 21-3. Clemson had just 99 yards passing today and had just 98 in 1984. In both games Clemson quarterbacks completed just 8 passes. In both games Clemson had over 200 yards rushing and lost.

I hate to say this but it needs to be said. If enough chaos ensues after Clemson loss and Ohio State getting SMOKED….Bama may sneak back in.

7 completions and half of them behind the LOS. Just unacceptable effort from #5 again

You know it's Rivalry Week when you receive a text from a friend asking where he can find the Clemson postgame radio show online because he's a South Carolina alum and he's wants to get drunk while listening to it.
