Love how at the beginning the announcer said: "Let's start making memories" ...and Clowney gave everyone something that's going to be remembered for a very loooong time!

It’s amazing how this game is still relevant over 8 years later. This hit is my motivation every game I play.

[@ZRONero]

Even years after that hit was the best hit ever!

[@SlammedCon]

10 years later and still one of my favorite games to watch

[@bruceowings5307]

Its 2023 and I'm still impressed with this squad...

[@eklypised]

The first down call is still one of the worst calls I have ever seen in my life....I mean I still to this day cannot understand how tf that ref looked at that and said first down. But If that didn’t happen the Clowney hit would have never happened either

[@rudytabooty8640]

Refs were betting against Carolina I bet

[@vehemon]

@@rudytabooty8640 I mean.. it's completley obvious it's not a first down and he called it wrong... Spurrier lost it and pointed to it... he looked at it again and double down on how blind he was. Complete confused on what the ref was thinking

@@vehemon it’s kinda funny I went to UM like 5 years after this play and they still were salty about it lmaoo

[@vehemon]

@@rudytabooty8640 Hah, nothing to be salty about it. We made the stop but they still got the first down. My buddy that was in the stadium said there was two large cheers when the play went down.

[@sidneyjones8618]

April 27, 2019. Even after 6 years this is still great to watch Clowney commit manslaughter. Smith gets to go through the rest of his life as the man who lost his head.

[@rossmoore2844]

Always a pleasure to watch this game!

[@diegojuarez8041]

January 1st 2020 and i still remember that legendary hit.

[@bully3628]

Interesting that Mike Tirico would mention at 2:21:58 the referee taking a card out of his pocket to slide between the ball and the yard marker to see if it was a first down. That exact thing happened in the Cowboys-Raiders game in 2017. Referee pulled a card out, stuck it between the stick and the ball and gave the Cowboys a first down. First time I had ever seen that happen.

[@manolis.799]

I was there and I will never ever forget that game. It was so thrilling to watch...

[@ZRONero]

They say you can still hear that hit til this day!

[@walterlv01]

When Spurrier mentioned postgame how few games he has had in his career decided late like this one - I looked back and could only find 3 wins in his time at Florida where they won with a score in the final two minutes. '93 at Kentucky, '97 against FSU and '00 at Tennessee. Of course that's because they usually steamrolled people but still interesting.

[@walterm5298]

Crazy how the hit got more views than the game winning drive.

[@lindseysummers5351]

2013 was South Carolina's best team, but this was the most fun. This game was so exciting and one of the better non-championship games we may ever see. GO COCKS!!!

[@lloyddillon4537]

Lindsey Summers no our best team was the 2011 team. With Alshon Stephon Gilmore clowney and ingram.

[@lindseysummers5351]

@@lloyddillon4537 2011 was good...very good. But in 2013, our guys played and beat two BCS bowl winners and a 2nd tier bowl game winner (who also son their division), all of whom finished in the Top 10. They beat three other bowl winners, and a conference co-champion in FCS. The team as a whole was just tougher that season. I will say that 2011 likely was the best collection of individual talent, but 2013 was the better team.

[@johnmacri7440]

What a team Sc had then

[@JonesDylan874]

2:07:12-2:08:13 VERY BAD CALL 2:10:39 Clowney made it right, though.

[@goatcheese4me]

True story: Wife (Michigan fan, calm demeanor) and me (SC fan, antsy) watching this game. We managed to stay civil the entire game until that horrendous 4th down call. I lost it. She got mad at me but I couldn't believe what i was seeing. But during the commercial break, a chance for it all to be corrected during the review. Surely they will fix it. Back from commercial, Michigan still has the ball--I'm now furious to the point where I can't sit still. I'm already visibly upset when Clowney slams into Smith and grabs the fumble. I went from venting angry to screaming happy. I'm pretty sure I slept on the couch that night.

[@tgpbegleri]

Lol, what a story! I too thought the same thing at the time. "The refs messed up, but they'll fix it during the break." Boy was I wrong. I was still fuming right up to the point when Clowney blasted Smith. What a good day! How I wish Gamecock football could get back to these times.

[@goatcheese4me]

@@tgpbegleri it takes a great coach and a great recruiter. Spurrier was both. Muschamp was known to be a great recruiter, but his reputation as a coach was already in question, which I think hurt his recruiting. And of course he showed why he was a horrible coach. He does best when he's not fully in charge of the ship, so I think he'll succeed as a DC where ever he ends up.

[@yaasirbrown2028]

@@goatcheese4me Wow such an Awesome story. I remember having the same reaction, "horrible call but they'll fix it after the commercial break" When that call was upheld a completely lost it all over again, I literally lost my freaking mind, right up until the Clowney ROCK. Mannnn what a game, one of my favorite Gamecock Wins. This year will commence the return of Greatness to Gamecock Football, GOOOO COCKS!!!! #ForeverToThee

[@LoeDom]

As a Michigan fan lookin back at this game it coulda been a lot worse.. that SC d was absolutely dominant.. I can't believe we held up as good as we did & almost won .. but if it weren't for the long possessions we had, I doubt we woulda even kept it close.. but still a great game no matter what.

[@ADT2695]

Despite the obvious, there were a lot of interesting moments in this game, such as the 52-yard field goal conversion by Michigan, the 4-straight failed 2-point conversions on the last 4 scoring possessions (that had to have been something historic); and the fact that it was overall a great contest.

[@lindseysummers5351]

ADT2695 If it weren't for The Hit, Ace Sanders would have been MVP. He was such an exciting player whom I wish had stuck around for one more season.

[@ADT2695]

+Lindsey Summers. Upon researching, he is another intriguing aspect of the game as well, yeah.
