“We just completed a very
good regular season sched

SON 29, USC 24
3:00 - After a 3-minute drive,
Clemson is poised to put away the
$S£'ffky Gamecocks. However,
Dantzler’s sure touchdown pass
to Gardner is suddenly stopped in
mid-air and tipped to Gamecock
defender Andre Goodman. A
ghostly chuckle is heard from
somewhere above the field, while
a USC “Black Magic” flag, cir
ca 1987, is spotted fluttering in
the breeze.
0:13 - After driving to the Clem
son 12-yard-line, the crowd is si
lenced by the appearance of USC
backup quarterback Erik Kimrey
trotting into the huddle. On fourth
and-10, Kimrey launches a high,
arching fade into the end zone.
The pass is batted away by free
safety Alex Ardley, who immedi
ately starts celebrating the sup
posed game-saving play. Howev
er, while the Tigers are busy
celebrating, USC defensive back
Keith Knag, in the game as a
speedy desperation receiver, jumps
for the loose ball and collapses
over the goal line for the touch
down as the final horn sounds.
