🔺 Gamecock State. Gamecock football proved whose state this is on Saturday when they defeated No. 12 Clemson 17-14. LaNorris Sellers rushed for a 20-yard touchdown with a little over a minute remaining to take the lead and ultimately win the Palmetto Bowl, presented by the South Carolina Education Lottery.
