COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Clemson coach Dabo Swinney always believed his team would show its championship heart in a difficult and frustrating season. The Tigers stepped up to show their coach’s faith in them was not misplaced. Clemson finished off a four-game November sweep with a satisfying 16-7 win over rival South Carolina on Saturday night, rallying after a 4-4 start that spoiled the preseason ACC favorites plans to add another title this season. “Really proud of my players,” Swinney said. “Great, great response by all these guys.” On Saturday night, it was freshman defensive back Khalil Barnes who scored the team’s only touchdown, kicker Jonathan Weitz who made the three longest field goals of his career, and a defense that held Gamecocks quarterback Spencer Rattler to a season-low 112 yards passing. “Our defense is as good as there is out there,” Swinney said.
