COLUMBIA, S.C. -- It got to the point Clemson Coach Dabo Swinney could barely watch the tape anymore from last year's loss to rival South Carolina, an agonizing ending where the Tigers had led throughout until LaNorris Sellers' 20-yard burst to the end zone with just more than a minute to play.

Clemson's defense made sure to change things around this year. Sellers threw for a season-high 381 yards and two touchdowns, but Tigers defensive back Ricardo Jones intercepted him twice during a 28-14 victory over their rival on Saturday.

"Pain has a way of making you better," said Swinney, who thought his players got to Sellers throughout last year's game, "but just couldn't get him on the ground."

This year, Clemson's defensive front, "did what they came here to do," Swinney said.
