It's finally here, folks. Possibly the most hyped and exciting matchup in the history of these two rivals. Neither team has championship aspirations, but both teams are very much alive in the BCS bowl at-large hunt.

Clemson brings a completely dominant offense to the table. This sixth-ranked unit is pouring points on. The team also boast one of the worst defenses in major college football.

On the other hand, the Gamecocks bring one of the most dominant defenses in college football to this game. They also boast a terrible offense that lacks a true identity.

It's yin versus yang, night versus day—polar opposites of one another taking the field. Who will rise to the occasion?

Will it be the ACC offense?

Or the SEC defense?

Here are the keys to a South Carolina victory over the Clemson Tigers.
