Clemson's Kyle Parker and South Carolina's Stephen Garcia don't know one another, yet have much in common in their first year as starting quarterbacks.

South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier understands all about rivalries. In the early '60s at Scientific Hill High in the mountains of Tennessee, he said there's nothing he wanted to do more than knock off crosstown Kingsport High. At Florida, he beat Florida State to win the national championship in one of the hottest rivalries of the 1990s.

It has all the makings of a "trap game" for Clemson when the Tigers finish the regular season at South Carolina, but coach Dabo Swinney likes the timing of the meeting with the Gamecocks.

"I like it right where it's at," Swinney told the Greenville News. "I love the rivalry games being the last game. That's the way it's always been my whole life. When I was in high school, we played our rival game the last game of the year, and it was awesome.

"If I had a vote, that's the way I would vote, but I don't have a vote."
