I think this is an example of where Dabo (Swinney) has taken the program," Herbstreit said. "They're not looking ahead to an ACC title game. They're not worried about what's down the road and this is where he has really had them matured with a focus on a rivalry game where people expect them to win by four touchdowns.
"To me, Travis Etienne has a huge game today. I think the running and the throwing with what Trevor Lawrence can do - that balanced attack...I think Clemson wins handily."
Lee Corso didn't offer a pick but talked up the South Carolina offense, adding that "you never know in a rivalry game."
