Here's the quarter-by-quarter box score of USC's 27-17 win over the Clemson Tigers.

Jadeveon Clowney pads his stats like a WonderBra, with his fifth of the night to end the game. 

Steve Spurrier becomes the winningest coach in USC history.

Good to see Kenny Miles back in.  Lowers his shoulders and lays a hit in the backfield on a run that moves the chains.  Clemson can't stop the run when that's all they need to do.  Things unraveling for the Tigers, and this one's about over.

More like Deandre "Drop"kins right there.

Let's be fair though—he made a phenomenal play earlier.  Let's look at that video and remember the better times for Clemson.

Jadeveon Clowney has four sacks in a critical game.  This is the kind of game scouts drool over.

Seems a little early, doesn't it? I mean, they've got all their TOs.

The exits are fillng up with Clemson fans now.

Bruce Ellington may have the last laugh in this Ellington battle.  Unless the Duke is resurrected, that is.

Thompson scurries around and finds Ellington in the end zone.  27-17, USC.

Dylan Thompson with a 20-yard gain on third and 19.  That's unacceptable defense by Clemson.  How you blitz without spying the QB there is beyond me.

USC has looked disorganized on a lot of these sets. They've cost themselves some timeouts needlessly.

Fourth and short—excellent QB sneak by Thompson up the left B gap.  Kind of a Tom Brady-like sneak.

A substitution infraction by USC backs them up to Clemson's 22, but they're marching.  A TD might put this away.

Valid question. He hasn't taken over in a crucial game in which Clemson has lacked scoring punch.

Last year, Clowney and Watkins looked like a potential 1-2 combo at top of the '14 draft. Clowney still resides there...Watkins?

USC is calling screen after screen after screen with success.  You have to think that Swinney will eventually draw his corners up in press.  We'll see if that happens, and if Thompson takes a deep shot at that point.

Brison Williams jumps the route and makes a huge INT.  The pass was forced by interior pressure from—who else? Jadeveon Clowney. 

Game is getting sloppy— as the defenses are digging in, the offenses are pressing.

You guys remember that feature they used to run on that one network (I forget which one) called "Jacked Up?" They'd show all the teeth-grindingly painful hits of the day on that show. DJ Swearinger's hit belongs there.

And he gets flagged for a personal foul.  

Clemson gets the ball after a great pic by Brewer in the end zone. 

Oh, and then there's this (per Clemson alum CJ Spiller, now with the Buffalo Bills): 

Man what the heck are these refs calling are you serious let them play this a rivalry game

Brewer again! He got his redemption quick.  I guess he likes his revenge best served microwave-fresh.

Brewer just took out his aggression on Thompson. Huge corner blitz sack.

Yet another questionable DPI called against Clemson on a crucial play—this one on 3rd and 9.  

Crowd calling B.S., and I don't mean "banana sandwich."

Between Adam Yates pounding balls past the endzone for touchbacks and tight Gamecock defense, the dynamic Clemson duo of Deandre Hopkins and Sammy Watkins has combined for just four touches (three from Watkins).  Clemson needs more from them in this final quarter.

Huge play—USC goes for it on 4th and 11. The pass is broken up but DPI is called against Clemson.  Pretty tough call, especially on 4th down.  Not really enough there to justify it.

USC goes for it on 4th down and gets a pass interference call on Clemson. Big penalty and break for South Carolina.

Clemson's front finally contains Thompson with a four-man rush.  Smart to keep tacklers downfield. 

Garry Peters is not exactly Antoine Winfield-like in regard to tackling

Yet another swing/screen outlet in a crucial 3rd down situation.  Gamecocks looking like the Patriots.

Well, except for the fact they've got a competent defense.

Ace Sanders is apparently trending on Twitter.  If "Ace" wasn't a cool enough name, I'd nickname him "Colonel."

He's a fighting rooster, after all.  The humor works on several levels.
